Trudeau cites how “Canadians fought and died” beside you. Cites Iranian hostage crisis. Hurricane Katrina. La fires. 911. “We were always there”. He is not wrong to cite these key moments. The sense of betrayal is palpable.

- Trudeau now suggests people may not buy US products or not vacation in the US to “stand up for Canada”.
- Breaking: sources tell me Ontario will invoke new emergency measures tomorrow and possibly state of emergency to give province new powers to enforce penalties against protestors. New emergency powers from Ontario to come into effect tomorrow. #cdnpoli
- NEW: Senior government source just telling me that China is going be sending back more medical equipment to Canada than the 16 Tonnes Canada sent in Feb. said it would come in coming days as part of international cooperation. #cdnpoli
- Lots of criticism of “woke culture” and “cancel culture” and “mandates” —just interesting. Not a single word about the Canadians who died during the pandemic or the health care workers who worked overtime. It’s all been about anti mandates and anti lockdowns. #cdnpoli
- Today police say last night there were a grand total of 150 people at what they call “illegal occupation” and under 400 vehicles. So the Emergencies Act used for 150 people? The Emergency Measures Act , OPs and OPP could not deal with that small number in the nation’s capital?
- Why do some politicians never mention the 45,662 Canadians who died of COVID? Or their families? As if they are not victims of the pandemic? Or the healthcare workers who worked over-time under brutal conditions and risked their own families health? 🤔I wanted to clarify my comments at yesterday's press conference. Here is my full statement:
- Breaking: Alberta sent Federal govt a letter Feb 5 seeking Federal help to stop blockade at border even tho @jkenney threatens a court challenge over Emergencies Act. I obtained a letter sent saying: in order to ensure a return of free movement of people, vehicles and goods1/4
- This morning kids/families arrive at protest. Trucks are being signed. I spoke to some enforcement officials who asked why media doesn’t report on protestors shovelling snow off War Memorial? If someone illegally took over your home but then mowed the lawn, would that make it ok?
- Nothing revealed the importance and value of robust local news more than the superb coverage of the Ottawa protest by the team at @ctvottawa led by the indomitable, tireless and fair @grahamctv, with @JCharronCTV @ColtonPraill @Stefan_Keyes @radioKristy and many many more 👏👏
- This. A whole country needed this moment for sure.WHAT A MOMENT 🇨🇦🇨🇦🇨🇦 #4Nations
00:00 - Total BS question. There is NO evidence that Canadians want to join the US. A Leger poll last week was overwhelming evidence of the contrary. This is pure gaslighting and part of the neo imperial spheres of influence policy he is promoting. Deeply corrosive for US allies.Trump: "It's true. A lot of people in Canada are liking becoming our beautiful, cherished 51st state."
00:00 - BREAKING: @JustinTrudeau @melaniejoly and @cafreeland have made a surprise visit to #ukraine right now. #cdnpoli
- A remarkable and historic speech of leadership. Worth watching every minute.Remarkable speech. Addressed to the Russian people, it should also be heard everywhere.
