"The imposition of the Emergencies Act was a clear signal from this government that it will not be held to account under any circumstance.....When a government resorts to censoring, criminalizing, punishing and silencing its critics, democracy is at risk." - John Feldsted, Political Commentator, Winnipeg
While I watched Mark’s testimony, I couldn’t help but compare the ages of the hippies who were protesting the Vietnam war in the U.S. - the ages are different- the wars and battles are different- but the Vietnam War was the U.S. government trying to stop the spread of Communism but the Trucker Convoy in Ottawa was trying to stop our Government from trampling on and destroying Canadian’s Constitutional Rights and Freedoms
About the Charter, ...the country we get is the country we fail to fight for.
I don't know if this is the right time or place but, ... I was reminded by someone from the Justice Centre that your local MP should know you by name, by face, and by viewpoint.
In Canada, all the power we have originates with our political representatives. Appealing to the leaders is highly ineffective but a nucleus of publicly strong members of a community can carry a large amount of credibility with the local MP. And it is the backbenchers silence that lets the leadership run rough shod over the citizen.
A thought just occurred to me - although I earnestly support and follow this National Citizen’s Inquiry - I wonder why you don’t see or hear of any coverage on MSM and if there is any chance of it effecting change?
