Hey Gretzky, who is the odds on favourite to replace ol lying Dave Lamenting? Surely Freeland can't be Deputy Prime Minister, Finance Minister, MP, Justice Minister and WEF Board Director too?!??

And Deputy Minister of Finance. That position is still vacant, according to wikipedia.

Ya, that was Mona Fortier from memory...took her and Freeland over a year to produce a budget. Such talent in the penetrated cabinet eh!? Remember - Mona was the Minister for Middle Class Prosperity too...which I'm sure is no longer required!

Great photo Donna of the person carrying the constitution! And very good point that the judge, although not friendly to the protest, does respect the law!

Your journalistic work, I hope, will eventually be recognized on a much broader basis, because you have captured unbelievable detail of this event! And without even a cameraman! As far as I know, you’ve done it all yourself!! (I know you travelled to east coast and many shared photos but point is you don’t have the infrastructure of a media company behind you!)

WELL DONE!!

Thank you, Barbara, for your kind words.

You are correct. There is absolutely no infrastructure behind me. It's me, my camera, and my computer :-)

Donna, I suppose you're right, that a soft voice gains more traction that a blunt rant, but I like a pen that drips poison where it is merited.

That statement from Blacklock's reporter is not a forgivable oversight, but rather a mind that has forgotten the basic principle of the rule of law. His is but a step above the CBC propaganda.

As well this justice has shown himself to be one of the few justices in this country of ours that deservedly wears the robe of office. Is it necessary to compliment someone for actually doing the job they hold? In that, I suppose the country is that dysfunctional, that it has become a wonder that a few people still try.

That the excuse of economic disruptions was claimed as the justification for the government 's invoking of the Emergency Act, stretches propaganda to the breaking point. Ya sure. The inept participants in the clowns show that shut the country down for 2 years need to be told that BS is BS.

And finally, I'm saddened by when I think of the well-meaning but naïve people that signed Canada' Charter of Rights And Freedoms. Allowing Pierre Trudeaus to place in it the "not withstanding clause", his middle-finger salute to every citizen of this country, is one of the serious contributing factor to freedoms demise.
