By Iron Will / May 15, 2023 /

It puts the City of Calgary in the position of picking and choosing what types of protests are permitted and which are prohibited. This cannot be justified in a free and democratic society.”

By Iron Will / February 24, 2022 /

At Home and Abroad. “Fans the Flames of An Unjustified National Emergency”

Justin Trudeau has carried out an illegal and criminal police operation headed by an unapproved interim police chief against the Freedom Convoy. It started last Thursday, February 17th.

The measures taken included police violence, mass arrests, illegal freezing of bank accounts and the confiscation of truckers’ vehicles.

Trudeau had invoked the application of the 1988 Emergencies Act four days prior to the Vote in the House of Commons on Monday Evening.

On Tuesday, the Senate met and was requested by the government’s representative to make a decision without having access to so-called ‘secret information’, a report which allegedly confirmed that the application of the Emergencies Act was required and justified.
