    Ottawa mayor wants to SELL confiscated Freedom Convoy trucks

    Ottawa Mayor Jim Watson has praised the police crackdown on
    anti-mandate Freedom Convoy protesters in the Canadian capital.
    With the demonstrations cleared, he told state media that
    trucks, campers, and vehicles seized from the protesters should
    be sold off, claiming Prime Minister Justin Trudeau's
    controversial emergency powers allow him to do so.

    He sounds like another real winner.

    Yep. You guys don't hold the market on idiots in office, you know. I'm not entirely sure that a 'mayor' can actually follow through on such a thing, though. Seems to me like he's just talkin' out his @$$, as the saying goes.

    Now we're starting to see the expected post- shenanigans.

    The truckers spend all their time in their own home, so there's no fleeping need to wear a mask in your own private home, unless you employ staff, I'd guess.

    This whole thing was a made up issue just to create stress & test the powers of our police state as it's now at.

    There will be more borderline(& over the line) illegal crap initiated by Herr Fuhrer Trudeau -- just watch. :(

    I remember Canada. I remember freedoms (technically privileges -- any freedom that can be ruled on by legislature or courts is not a freedom)

    I remember when air was clean & sex was dirty, when Carlin's "7 Words You Can't Say on Television" was a true & valid commentary.

    *sigh*

    Now I'm afraid of where this will go (I've read Animal Farm, & so by learning from history I get to sit around helplessly as others repeat it.)

    They very carefully removed any chance we might clue into the real meaning of our neigbour's 2nd amendment, & why it's important in a free democracy.

    The Queen (&/or Charles) is out because Trudeau emplaced a new GG, likely loyal to him. :(

    I may, if push comes to shove, need to appeal, over her head, straight to Buckingham Palace to my cousin Elizabeth.
