Does anyone remember David Suzuki recently calling for acts of terror against oil and gas infrastructure. I would donate to a Wet'suwet'en crowdfundraiser if they launced a lawsuit against him and his foundation.

No EMA used on protesters, no seizing bank accounts, not blaming foreign money, not even charges laid. But, it you protest peacefully in the nation's capital close to our fuehrer the state will destroy your life. Man, what double standards when the cause is approved by progtards.

Good point. He shuld be a prime suspect. Short of T-2, he's a close second and more dogmatic and seems more physically vicious



I'd match your donation

David Suzuki has been "counselling to commit mischief" for years and he walks free.

Time to admit what the evidence is showing.



You are a nation divided, and your national unity is now in shreds.

The response to protests in Canada depends entirely if the protest in question gets the woke seal of approval.



The Liberals' biased, subjective, politicized response to two different protests



A group of around 20 masked protestors, armed with axes, committed millions of dollars in damage to construction equipment, as well as threatened security guards in the middle of the night.



To make it harder for police to respond, the alleged attackers blocked the road to the site with felled trees, stumps covered in tar (to make them trickier to move), boards with spikes and bonfires.



When Mounties tried to drive to the remote site, several protestors along the road threw smoke bombs and flaming sticks. One officer was wounded.



Last November, the same construction project was hit by anti-pipeline activists (believed to be mostly Indigenous activists), who stole heavy equipment from the Coastal Gaslink site and dug open a trench across the road.



Five hundred construction workers were cut off from supplies of food and fresh water for several days. Again, millions in damage was done to trucks, trailers, haulers and backhoes.



During that blockade, shared toilets at the camp could only be flushed once a day, communal showers were shut off and no laundry was permitted.



Yet our prime minister labels the protest in Ottawa the violent one, the one that must be quelled by invoking the Emergencies Act for the first time since it was passed in 1988.



The Freedom Convoy, which featured bouncy castles, barbecues and free Indian food for Sikh drivers, is the one the Liberal government claims is a threat to peace, order, good government and national security.



Senior cabinet ministers even accused the truckers of being a foreign controlled fifth column intent on overthrowing the Canadian government.



The federal government's attack on the truckers goes far beyond arresting some of them and towing their trucks away.



Because the Emergencies Act permits the feds to act without warrants or judicial oversight against people it (and it alone) deems to be threats to national safety, the Trudeau government has also instructed banks, credit unions, investment brokers and insurance companies to freeze the accounts of convoy participants.



Justice Minister David Lametti has hinted on CTV that the feds are considering using names, provided by a hacker, of donors to the convoy to have financial institutions freeze their accounts, too.



Ottawa, apparently, even investigated the possibility of having the Ontario government's Children's Aid Society seize the children of convoy participants.



British Columbia's Public Safety Minister, Mike Farnworth, issued a statement condemning the "egregious criminal activity" at the B.C. pipeline camp this week. And federal Natural Resources Minister Jonathan Wilkinson and Public Safety Minister Marco Mendicino offered similar (yet milder) rebukes.



But there was nothing from the Liberals like the smear tactics (and police tactics) unleashed against the convoy truckers, who had at times been unruly, but not violent.



The bigger problem with this biased, subjective, heavily politicized response to the two protests is that it brings the administration of justice into disrepute.



Nevertheless, when a government uses a nuclear bomb to dislodge a largely peaceful (although annoying and obstructive) protest, while seemingly ignoring or even sloughing off a truly violent one by radicals it largely agrees with, then ordinary citizens begin to believe there are two sets of laws – one for friends of the government and a harsher set every everyone else.



Don't expect any justice from the NDP, though. Party leader Jagmeet Singh has said his party will support the Liberals' use of the Emergencies Act, but only if "Indigenous land defenders, climate change activists, workers fighting for fairness, and any Canadian using their voice to peacefully demand justice" are exempted from its provisions.



There's the bias that undermines the law and institutions.
