To avoid any appearance of authoritarianism, we should have an independent commission look into it and determine whether the use of the emergencies act was justified under the circumstances. Oh wait...

You think it was independent commission?

The judge heading the inquiry was hand- selected by the Prime Minister.  He was a liberal party member and worked for the John Turner campaign after Pierre Trudeau resigned in the 80s.  He was hand- selected to be a judge by Paul Martin.

The Trudeau government investigated itself.  This is an affront to our democracy. The man has shown time and again he's a tyrant. Ask Jody Wilson Raybould.  Ask Stats Canada who attempted to force banks to secretly allow them to look at any Canadians bank account activity without their knowledge or consent.

Again, if the commission said what you guys wanted to hear, you would have praised its good judgement. When they say what you don't want to hear, suddenly it was all corrupt from the start.

Saint Jody? Really! Nipples is a stooge - don't be Nipples!

the Stats Can want was to 'secure' some representative randomized 500K Canadians banking transactional information... related data that would be secure & anonymized. Data necessary given the Harper Conservatives ended the mandatory long-form census.

The Trudeau gov brought back the long form census for the 2016 census.  What are you talking about?

Now explain why Health Canada was secretly tracking the cell phone movements of every Canadian during the covid lockdowns to study compliance... and how the heck did they acquire that data... and why didn't they tell anyone, and why don't they believe in informed consent?

Let's see you dance, tyrant.  Dance for me waldo, go!

Did it have good judgement? Was it corrupt from the start?

A requirement for the emergencies act is that no other Canadian laws could deal with the situation in question.   Maybe they could have tried enforcing the law that states you can't park on the street illegally, park in border crossing blushes illegal, or disturb the peace at night (by honking horns).

When did they try to enforce those laws?  Who did they try to arrest?

If police didn't have access to tow trucks, maybe at most the emergencies act could have been used to get the military to lend some towing gear to the local police.

Exactly.  Existing laws were enforced to remove the protest on the ambassador bridge, without any need for the emergencies act.

Why are you asking me? Why don't you read the report of the commission that suddenly became "corrupt" the moment you didn't like what it said.

I'm asking you to think.

No, you aren't. You're asking me to believe the whole commission was corrupt without any real evidence to support your theory.

No that's not what I asked.  I said  "Did it have good judgement? Was it corrupt from the start?"

You seem to be assuming it had good judgement and wasn't corrupt, without evidence or argument whatsoever, other than "it was independent".  Just because something is called "independent" doesn't mean it is.  Trudeau hand-picked the judge, and who was chosen by Paul Martin to be a judge in the first place and who formerly worked for the Liberal Party.  Sounds like a conflict of interest to me.

Have you considered the possibility that Trudeau picked a judge who was more likely to weigh in his favour?  Does this judge sound non-partisan and "independent" to you?  Does this judge owe any favours to the Liberal Party?  Does he think like a Liberal?

I have questions too. If Trudeau is so omniscient in his corruption and can just orchestrate everybody to do what he wants, how come his government keeps getting hit with ethical violations?

I never said he had total control over the accountability offices.  Ask yourself why the the government in power gets to pick the people who investigate them, including the ethics commissioner?

Also ask yourself why the Trudeau gov didn't enact the Emergencies Act during the indigenous railway blockades in 2020, and if you or Trudeau would have supported using the Emergencies Act if the convoy was made up of indigenous protestors against vaccine mandates?
