@billquigley6556 I'm vaxxed, as well and I support those truckers. I'm vaxxed because it was MY choice, not because the government or anyone else told me too. CHOICE....you buffoon....CHOICE. That's what we want. If you want to be vaxxed go for it. If you don't want it.....don't. CHOICE. Treat us like adults. I also voted AGAINST Trudeau and voted for the People's Party, the only party in Canada that stands for individual freedom.

How anyone could watch Question Period for half an hour and still vote for the party that has Trudeau as its leader is mind blowing. I have a feeling that too many Canadians vote by party loyalty and substance is completely overlooked.

@anguscampbell1533 If the assertion was that Canadian soldiers were shot by American soldiers and it could be proven by exhuming those bodies then......YES. I'd want that known as a fact that couldn't be denied. A YES with capital letters. An emphatic YES. We don't even know if they are actually graves and if they are graves, who's buried there. If they are native Canadians, we don't know how they died. That means that the claim that they're children who were murdered by the native school system has not been proven. The claim is no better than gossip and will remain so until proven to be true.

@eastcoasterner Then tell me, what was wrong with that speech that she made, besides the inappropriate word. Was it the speech that you object to or just her. I'm going to put my foot out and say that it wouldn't matter one bit to you what she said. It's all about your dislike of her. To you, politics is about personalities not about what's best for the country.

Called out by one of the people that he claimed would most negatively impacted by male construction workers and he bails. Kudos to that young woman and shame on Trudeau, who couldn't even carry her work boots, let alone wear them. That man is a joke.

Notice how they're calling for revenge. Isn't justice what they should be seeking? When justice becomes revenge, anything can happen and quite often it ends badly for everyone.

@Dunkiep8 That's why the United States is NOT a democracy. It's a Constitutional Republic. The Democratic process is engaged to pick representatives to be the voice of the people. However, those reps MUST follow a set of rules so that democratic process doesn't degenerate into mob rule. We call those rules the Constitution. It's the checks and balances of the American system. We cannot enact laws that infringe on the rights of the individual just because the majority wants it. Even if 99% of the American public wants a return to slavery and demand it because "democracy", the Constitution will not allow it. We value the voice that our democracy grants us but even that is kept in check when our vote wants to break the law.

@Donthaveacowbra If the government would only comply, they'd go away. It's what they're telling us. If we comply, Covid will go away. Guess what, we've complied for 2 years and we're in the worst wave yet.

@eastcoasterner It's always a con, isn't it. Can't think the best of anyone or give them the benefit of the doubt. If she's a con about this, is she lying about the other things that she said? That's the implication. I suppose that you're the only one that's hasn't noticed that prices have skyrocketed across the board and that housing costs are through the roof. You must be among the elites of this country who never have to think about money when grocery shopping.

@trh-bee4383 I WORK in a bar. I can't do that from home. My boss is afraid that her business won't survive another lockdown. Before that, I worked in a factory. My old co-workers can't make paper from home, either. It's great for all the big corporate chains. They run the small guys out of business, because they can absorb the losses, and those chains just GROW and GROW. Did you know that, since the pandemic started, that this is the first time in almost 30 years that abject poverty, around the world, has gone UP? That poverty rates have been going down, at unbelievable rates, until Covid? That our supply chain is in serious jeopardy? Inflation is on the rise, getting back to what it was in in 1980, when mortgage rates were over 20%. What happens if those days return and they will if we keep locking everything down. The tax base is eroding, yet we need more money to support people who are told to STAY HOME. We are in a spiral and we're so afraid of the Covid monster that we can't see anything else. If we have a world economic collapse, similar to the Great Depression, tens of millions could starve to death, around the world, and Covid would STILL be with us. Already the consequences are starting to rear their ugly heads and those ugly heads will get uglier and meaner if we keep stopping our economy. But at least YOU won't get Covid. LOL. As if we'll be able to control Covid if the collapse does come.

JuliaJustBeauty If Patrick Brown can prove that he's innocent, then they deserve the legal ramifications of making false allegations. You're assuming that there is no way that they are being dishonest or that someone hasn't manipulated these women into saying things that may not be true. Brown has been found guilty and lost his job and reputation, not because of proved guilt, but because he was accused. These women were not even named at first and they may have been naive enough to think that they'd never have to come forward on the say so of a cunning and manipulative reporter. The media should never be the arbiter of guilt or innocence and Brown had his knees taken out from under him without even the chance to defend himself. It would be a social, political and human tragedy if this entire mess was orchestrated by a ruthless news outlet who manipulated naive women and felt they could take advantage of a metoo movement that was appearing to approve the idea that the accusation should ALWAYS be the equivalent of an indictment. That's ethically and morally wrong and belongs in the realm of the gossip rags. Journalistic integrity has been supplanted by a game of telephone and backroom mechanisations. This isn't what the metoo movement should be supporting.

A couple of days ago, the social media was filled with memes and pictures of the White House with darkened windows, mocking the president for hiding while the country burned. Now he comes out, they mock him for looking for photo ops. Global news, YOU'RE AN OPPORTUNISTIC, PARASITIC ORGANISATION!!!!! You thrive on the misery of others. It's sickening.

@trh-bee4383 If I go to work and MAKE money to pay my taxes, as opposed to sitting at home, not paying a cent and living off the social teat, I expect those taxes to pay for my illness, just like any other medical issue. If that were the case, people who smoke and get lung cancer, are on their own. Cirrhosis of the liver has to exclude, all those who drink, from socialised medicine. No assistance for the diabetics who are morbidly obese. If you play hockey and break your leg.....tough. You should have stayed home and watched TV, instead. If you catch your hand in a machine at work, through an error, get your brother-in-law to do the amputation. It's tough enough to get a family doctor, in Canada, so we can get health referrals and now YOU want medical tribunals to decide whether one deserves medical help from the only source of medicine that we're allowed to have. Socialised medicine sure is compassionate, isn't it?

@TheStephism A registry.....how very Fascist of you. Maybe they should be forced to wear that symbol, that they're waving so vigorously, on their sleeves. A Red Maple Leaf. Maybe we should tattoo it on their forehead. "Make your choice".....that's what YOU said. Funny, that's what the Convoy folk are saying, too. Except, they want that choice as provided by the Canadian Charter of Rights and NOT by a mob, even if that mob comprises of 90% of the population. You see.....that's why we have a Charter of Rights. It's there to protect us from the mob or, as you put it, 90% of the population. It's quite obvious that you're no fan of liberty OR freedom.

@trh-bee4383 You just said that if I go to work and catch Covid, I shouldn't be allowed medical assistance. What would be the penalty for the guy, who had a mild case of Covid, and went to work and passed it on to me and I became seriously ill? Do we penalise him, too? I was under the impression that the noble field of medicine was to care for all who were in need. Doctors even cared for Nazi soldiers who tried to kill our soldiers. Nazis, whose intent was to kill as many as possible, still deserved care when hurt in battle, but not Covid patients who step out of line. Even guys, like Paul Bernardo or Russell Williams, serial rapists and murderers, get treated for illnesses, but NOT me, because I want to work. One strange sense of compassion you have there.

The constant hate rhetoric about Trump is the perfect life-form that would attach itself to the mentally ill.

@ahlaamonline9377 I've lived through 11 presidents. I've never seen anything like the hate thrown at other presidents that I've seen thrown at Trump. I work as a bartender and you can't even bring his name up and there's a fight. I've seen people face's turn into the ugliest and most hateful sneer when Trump's face shows up on one of the TV sets. There's no sound and yet some people just go off the deep end. We now see people, respected people, like John Podesta, saying that the west coast should secede from the Union if Trump wins the election. People are getting beat up for wearing a MAGA hat. It has NEVER been like this in all my life. And the media......they're incredibly biased. They're no longer reporting the news but they're making stuff up. There's no way that the media, of 30 years ago, would have ignored and covered for the riots that are tearing the cities apart all across the US. They do it because they don't want to help Trump win the election. I have friends who hardly speak to me anymore. They're entertaining the craziest conspiracy theories about Trump and if you ask for evidence they get mad at me. One has been a friend for 50 years. We've disagreed on things for years but nothing has set him off like Trump has. I try not to talk about it but they keep insisting. It's as if the whole world has gone nuts. This hatred isn't normal.
2
@ahlaamonline9377 I don't forget that. Apparently, everything I wrote went right over your head. You've not mentioned one word of it. I agree. People do hate presidents. However, this is unprecedented in my lifetime. I gave numerous examples. This hatred may end in the worst election day violence in my lifetime or in American history. People are threatening it already. Why are you ignoring all this?
2
@ahlaamonline9377 I've seen the months of nightly riots across the US. I've seen the burnt out buildings, the increased violence and deaths. I've heard the threats of "Burn it all down". I've never heard this before and said so often by so many. I'm worried for the safely of innocents and I can't imagine why these things don't bother you. But I guess if you think that violence and destruction is the norm and just fine, then bury your head in the sand. I guess the crocodile may not notice you and will pass you by.

@ruger6049 LOL. I was going to tell him to put down the bottle and go to bed but went with the "huh" thing instead. It sure did sound like the incoherent blubbering of an addict, though.

@trh-bee4383 If inflation starts to rise out of control, to the point that our money is worthless, people aren't going to sit at home, terrified of Covid. Hunger will scare them more than Covid ever could and it doesn't matter who you are. YOU will leave your home to look for food or the means to earn the money to buy it. Why? Because hunger, TRUE hunger, is exponentially WORSE than Covid. People will get out and guess what. They'll STILL be spreading Covid AND they'll be malnourished. It'll increase death rates for Covid AND for other issues involving malnutrition. If you want to know how best to handle Covid. Look to Florida. Even though their 7 day case count average is over 2500 new cases a day, their daily death count average is about 3 per day. They're wide open, wear a mask if you want, getting vaccinated if you want (a good idea), no work restrictions or lockdowns and they have the 3rd highest case count in the US. And that's perfect because they're the 3rd most populous state in the US. So...they're EXACTLY where they should be...and so is New York State. 4th most populous state in the US, and fourth in Covid cases. New York has had some of the strictest lockdowns in the US and Florida only had them for a short time and then they lifted them......and the results are the same. NO DIFFERENCE......and Florida is filled with seniors. If New York locks down hard and Florida doesn't and they have similar results, what's the point?

@trh-bee4383 This thing started out when you said that a person would be refused medical aid if they didn't follow the guidelines set out by the government. I laid out a case against it. I'll say one more thing. Since when is the government the arbiter of all things right and wrong? Every war, genocide, forced labour, overt bigoted actions and suppression of freedom has been initiated, sanctioned or violently supported by governments. It's the main theme of human history. How did they do it? They did it by promising special benefits to certain segments of their societies. A little more land. Better food allotments, better access to fuel, little things, seemingly but essential for the survival of the average citizen. Men would join the militias just to get regular meals. YOU, are supporting the same kind of government pressure. "Do as I say or face the consequences." Loss of job. Loss of social contact through social marginalisation. Loss of medical assistance. Where's it coming from? Our government. With the history of abuse and human misery left by governments, throughout history, I'm astounded that anyone would still support their edicts. Yet they do. They do it through fear. "Do as we say or you shall surely die". That's the very heart of your argument. FEAR....so total that you'll allow them to do as they will and threaten us by any means necessary. I'm a grown man. I'd rather leave my safety in my own hands than is some strangers, who lives on a hill, in a distant capital city. I'm either their equal or I'm not and when they FORCE me to do things, against my will, I'm NOT their equal.

@waynegabler6570 Are you trying to say that if I vote against Trudeau, I'm against clean water? Why is this even a racial question? Shouldn't we all have clean water? If our government is getting us clean water, and there's a community, within the perview of that government, that doesn't have access to clean water, it's not living up to its mandate. In other words, those communities, that don't have clean water, have been without under the current government for years. So, I'm really not understanding the question. Is the question whether I will continue to support a government that has allowed communities to go without clean water or not? If it is, no. I will not support a government that has allowed a community to go without clean water for years.

@nameless-face Are you saying that ALL 200,000 people are dead because Trump didn't act sooner? You think that putting Covid patients in nursing homes in New York, New Jersey, Pennsylvania, Michigan and California helped the problem? I don't and Trump didn't do that. Your logic says that the million dead around the world are ALL the fault of their leaders. You're reacting more out of emotion than with logic or analysis.

I knew, the moment that I seen that it was Global News, that this would be a biased assessment. If the people at the cemetery say that the matter is closed and that there has been no charges, it's not a news story. It appears that they're just trying to deflect how negative that this makes Harris and Biden look and somehow spin it so Trump looks bad. Harris and Biden should be ashamed of not attending that ceremony, considering that they were the root cause of that horrific event.

I agree with Kamala. Puerto Ricans deserve better than the severe garbage problems that they're suffering through right now. Too bad that she's not even aware of the problem. Too bad Global news doesn't even bring it up to explain what that comedian was talking about. Maybe, Puerto Rico wouldn't have this problem if news media would do their job and let the world know that there is a garbage problem in Puerto Rico. The media would prefer to use it as a political prop against those they don't like. Calling people racist is their idea of a solution.

What does the Hatch Act have to do with this?

Every drug death is NOT the result of failed drug policies. It's the fault of personal decisions made by the drug user. Don't ingest illicit drugs and the chances of a fatal overdose decrease substantially, almost to the point of zero. Drug users aren't victims. They're complicit in their own demise. Before anyone starts ranting about how I don't understand....I have used illicit drugs in the past. The reason that I stopped had NOTHING to do with drug policies or policy makers. I had to take responsibility for my actions and say aloud that I was the only one that could stop my destructive behaviour. There wasn't a politician in sight when I quit.

@ahlaamonline9377 They may be able to maintain the nation but who knows how many lives will be destroyed by that hate through rioting, looting and burning. I don't want to see it happen. Why anyone would but there are groups, Antifa and the Marxist BLM that would like to see burnt to the ground so they can remake the nation in their own Marxist image.

It would have been nice if you gave examples. Speaking of vague, you haven't said one thing that has any real direction or solid merit. It's just an allegation of vagueness in your own vague manner. What did you, specifically find so vague or evasive.

I'm 70 years old. I'm double vaxxed with a booster. Since the lockdown started, in early January, I've only had social contact with 3 people. My closest friend died of cancer....I saw no one. My dad turned 90, I phoned but I didn't see him, even though he only lives 7 miles away. I live alone and by myself. Last Saturday, I got Covid and it sucks. I say....God bless those truckers and their allies. We have a Canadian Charter of Rights that apply to all Canadians and our government is denying us our rights in the name of "safety n health". If the virus is with us for all time, just like the flu or colds, are we to be denied our freedoms forever? 2 years is enough. Time to live with courage and to stop living in our hovels like cowards.

@eastcoasterner Oh.....I see. You're a political hack. You don't want to talk issues. You want to talk people or to put it correctly. You want to denigrate them. The type of person that could care less about the country.

Atta boy. Lets engage in more gossip. If you have facts....up them. Otherwise, keep the gossip in the back alleys where it belongs.

Sam195 So, he was in the pride parade. How does that make him homosexual. He may well have done it for political purposes. That's engaging in gossip. I know people who've gone to the pride parade as well and they're not gay or bisexual. If Brown has no issues religiously or morally with homosexuality, then why wouldn't he use the pride parade to make political points. You still haven't shown anything that proves that he's gay or bisexual. You're engaging in bar room gossip and connecting dots to suit a personal agenda. You're no better than the reporter at CTV news.

If a pandemic is that dangerous and serious, you won't have to tell people to stay home or get vaccinated. We'll stay home on our own and we'd be falling over each other trying to get the vaccine.

The weird thing is, Canadians are suffering because of Trudeau's climate mandates, not climate change. Trudeau must enjoy watching people struggle because he's the one forcing laws that hurt us. Housing is unbelievably expensive and so is fuel for travel, heating and cooking. Food has almost doubled in 4 years and Trudeau doesn't care. Trudeau is the one, sitting in his ivory tower with his silver spoon in his mouth, that's enjoying watching Canadians suffer.
1
@hipflask And why would they do that? If they're shoveling snow, cleaning garbage, taking care of city monuments and feeding the public, to show their sense of responsibility and civil duty, why would they turn around and harass and threaten people and ruin it all? It makes no sense. They even sent food to the homeless shelter as a gesture of goodwill. Instead of demonising those who might disagree with you, maybe you should try to defend your position with facts and logic. I know it's a lot to ask but it will work to build bridges and understanding. You're countering, what you think is hatred, with REAL hatred of your own.

@martinportelance138 Palestinians have been held hostage by Hamas and other radical Palestinian groups. They don't care about the people. They only care about their hatred for the infidels. Suffering for Allah is their path to heaven.

@KeatrithAmakiir It's called FREEDOM. It's entitled to every Canadian, through our Canadian Charter of Rights....and by the way, I am one of those old folks and I got Covid last Saturday. I'm fully vaxxed, with a booster, yet I support those guys who are a part of that convoy. I'd be there myself but I've just explained why I'm not. When it all clears up, I'm off to Ottawa to wave my Canadian flag....like all good traitors do.
1
@frankymaclellan7295 So you assume that we're conservative, do you? If people, who are demanding that the government honour the Canadian Charter of Rights, are conservatives, what does that make those who don't think that the Charter of Rights should apply to Canadians?

JuliaJustBeauty That doesn't fly, especially now. These girls will get support from those, like you, who take the stance that there is no way a girl would make up an allegation like this. There could be psychological rewards in making these accusations as well, a sort of Munchausen syndrome, where the attention is the priority over the reality. There are segments of society that laud the courage and bravery of those who stand up and tell their story. Manipulative individuals can use this to their advantage to coerce women to make allegations that aren't true with a promise of social approval from that segment of society. Why do people, with the full realisation that they'd be open to ridicule, start to advocate for a flat earth? There are facets of the human psyche that don't fall under the norm and those things have to be considered when claims of any kind are made. In this interview, thus far, Brown has been quite convincing and unless he's bluffing outrageously, he's going to come out vindicated. If a woman has been physically assaulted, by all means, come out and confront the accuser. However, if Brown is vindicated, then the witch hunt allegations will also be vindicated and the women will legitimate complaints will be in no better position than they were 30 years ago. No reasonable person should want that. That CTV reporter, I can't remember her name, should have made sure those sources were impeccable and beyond reproach. If Brown has witnesses that she has used in her story that contradict her story, then her career is in trouble. I'm not sure she did her due diligence at best and might even be guilty of orchestrating a scandal that didn't exist, at worst.

I worked in a paper mill for years. These elitist whiners don't know loud until they've done 12 hour shifts for 7 days straight, on continental shifts, in a paper mill. Spare me the crying.
