    Living here in a state along the border I've long warned about the Canuck threat.

    Trudeau should let his citizens have access to their money.

    How is that thunderous applause. Isn't he running a minority government meaning he has team up with another opposition party,

    This.

    Oppressing your citizens who protest you is an ultimate sin for world leaders.

    If they are breaking a law, then charge them with whatever you have on the current books instead of making up punishments to strike terror in the hearts of your citizens. Now people have to question what else they can have their livelihood demolished for. What else will Justin's ego not deem worthy of his vision for the Democratic People's Republic of Canada.

    I leave this here for anyone interested in reading rather prescient comments made back in 2014.

    https://www.huffpost.com/archive/ca/entry/trudeau-dictator_b_6314494

    "Why Canada Will Become a Dictatorship Under Trudeau
    The leader of that party does what he wants, when he wants, and no one dares question him. Would a Prime Minister Trudeau arbitrarily whip the vote and outlaw certain moral questions? Could Prime Minister Trudeau be trusted to make decisions for the good of the country, not just for his personal self-worth? Would Trudeau call in the police to enforce his vision? Let's hope we never have the opportunity to ask those questions."

    ...

    "It's becoming clearer as the days of Trudeau's Liberals wear on: if elected Prime Minister, Justin Trudeau would turn Canada into a dictatorship.
    This is the man who admitted he "admires China's basic dictatorship." It wasn't just a sarcastic comment - he seriously said that he admires the dictatorship because they can get things done quickly.
    And it's becoming clearer that Trudeau not only admires the dictatorship -- he runs the Liberal Party like one too."

    "The Liberal Party under Justin Trudeau has become a dictatorship. The leader of that party does what he wants, when he wants, and no one dares question him.
    Now that we know that Trudeau runs his party like a dictatorship, we must ask ourselves: is there any indication he wouldn't do the same as the leader of Canada?
    Would a Prime Minister Trudeau arbitrarily whip the vote and outlaw certain moral questions? Could Prime Minister Trudeau be trusted to make decisions for the good of the country, not just for his personal self-worth? Would Trudeau call in the police to enforce his vision?
    Let's hope we never have the opportunity to ask those questions."

    It seems like many here haven't had the experience of having their cities shut down for an extended period of time due to traffic blockades from protests. Haven't had parts of their cities occupied by protesters for a long period of time. Having dealt with that in Minneapolis I very much understand what the people of Ottawa and Windsor are going through.

    Also were a lot of these people especially the politicians hand wringing about Trudeau and Canada become a new dictatorship express the same concern when similar tactics were used in the US against BLM, Occupy and other protest groups?

    So let me get this straight, Trump is a hero for clearing protestors out of the way using force so he can do a photo op, but if the PM of Canada clears protestors to allow trade to resume and end an economic blockade he's a dictator?

    Man, you conservatives are a lost group of sheep.

    What a joke. We have enough bullshit from uneducated people and the willfully ignorant refusing to get vaccinated and putting unnecessarily other people's health a risk. Get in your truck and go back to work.

    There's no evidence that this actually happened. A Conservative MP tweeted this originally but to date neither the MP nor this supposedly real single mother has actually provided any evidence for this story. And when journalists have tried to find other similar examples of "frozen" accounts of people who gave small donations, they haven't been successful.
