  1. It is sad that our current government never really answers any question. Just sideline the question and just say how great they are. What happened to bringing about an open and transparent government? At least there is still some journalists trying to ask questions.

  2. civil disobedience has happened in canada and not one prime minister used the wars measures act. he nneds to learn his history. especially on a peaceful protest

    1. @WHEELS WHEELS the emergency act replaced the war measures act and is basically the same thing.

  3. why does no one mention the fact that the emergencies act was revoked BEFORE it was thrown out by the senate? it was revoked hours before they voted and it looked like they were not going to vote it through

  4. Cabinet confidence shield activated.
    Obfuscation campaign in full effect.

    1. his signals are so accurate and he take his time to teach you how to execute trades correctly before asking you to invest 💰

    2. Rory always have a way of milking this market and I am happy to be his follower. My portfolio has grown from $220k to $579k. This wouldn’t have been possible without Mike’s accurate signals…

    3. My interest in my real estate business was renewed after having accumulated 4.7 BTC in a month with Rory signal. I now see trading as a means to an end if I can put in more effort and resources

    4. Rory literally saved me, just before the crash she advised me to get out of my long position. I’ll recommend her any day.

  5. He’s just as smug and narcissistic as his pal, JT. Sitting in their ivory tower and bringing down an iron fist on the pleebs. They disgust me

  6. The ‘conversation’ was had so that the Libs could use it as cover once the trust stated unveiling itself.

  7. even so called western countries have a moment of dictatorship, the emergency act was not necessary, Canadian police are well equipped to deal with any situation in a civil manner.
