I would say Marshal Law is the Insurrection.

Oh look, the Toronto Sun is opining that this marshal law thing was too much.

Still no Marshal law happening in Canada. ; )

Binger, you're killing me here. First, the term is "martial" law. It has nothing to do with marshals. Second, by no stretch of the imagination (even yours) is the emergency declaration "martial law." It's no more the imposition of martial law than Ford's declaration of emergency a few days back. The declaration was made under Canadian national law. It's temporary in duration. It's subject to cancellation by a majority vote in either house of parliament. And the emergency powers are expressly subject to the rights guaranteed to Canadian citizens.

Or, more bluntly, come on Binger. Show me on the doll where Canadians' rights were taken away. :lol: :lol: :lol:

What Trudeau did is the U.S. equivalent of the declaration of a national emergency. As of January 2019, there were something like 40 national emergency declarations alive and kicking in the U.S. Where are the histrionics?

The whole scenario has been a political scrum for three weeks, with the city, provincial and national governments all pointing at each other and saying "fix this." They all agree that laws are being broken that should be enforced. And now each party is playing the situation for all it's worth. In the meantime, in my opinion, I think there is a valid national security interest in stopping the flow of dark money into a country that is being used to finance illegal activity, including obstruction of border crossings. Windsor isn't the only border crossing that this tiny minority has shut down.

If anything, the resulting mess has been a result of Canadian politeness. I've watched what happens in the U.S. when citizens occupy and block streets. When protestors block a highway, the police deploy riot gear, tear gas, and rubber bullets. They disperse the protesters as quickly as humanly possible. Canadians are much more polite.

If you want to be the little boy who cried wolf, be my guest. But don't think you're doing anything more than that.

This is cracking me up. I'm having to martial my resources just to get to my marshal arts class. 8-) Hopefully we'll be hear to here when Day 1 and Day 2 enter this multiverse.

Ever hear of a TV show called Gunsmoke? It starred Martial Dillon. It would be great if he could mozy over to Canada and sort out those truckers. That freedom to start pandemics idea needs a good roundhouse kick. Take away their poutine!

On Day 2 of Marshal Law, Police Chief Resigns

Post by Binger »

Homophonic, just for you, Res.

There will be more.

https://www.rebelnews.com/breaking_otta ... ource_says
Last week, Sloly said that there was "absolutely [no]" plans to resign as police chief, telling Newstalk 580 CFRA that he "came here to do a job."

Sloly has been criticized for accusing Freedom Convoy truckers and supporters of engaging in "harmful" activities and of promoting "hatred" and "violence," without providing evidence to support such accusations.

Others have criticized Sloly of not doing enough to quell the peaceful protest that progressive politicians and media have described as an illegal "occupation" and a "siege."

Sloly was chief of police with the Ottawa Police Service since October 28, 2019. His resignation comes one day after Prime Minister Justin Trudeau invoked the Emergencies Act to deal with the Freedom Convoy protesters in Ottawa and at various border crossings across Canada.
