this guy is a dictator and he needs to be thrown out of power.

it's a historical constant - it's what happens when you put the pampered children of leaders into power, they grow up thinking they're intended for the role and start thinking they have some kind of inherent authority.

they don't. and, he doesn't. 

he's just a relatively uneducated person that's been given far more power than he's earned or deserves.

the irony here is, of course, that the government fully supports the pipeline. and, they will crack down on these protesters, eventually - trust me. it's just a question of doing so in a way that avoids the optics of the war measures act.

it was not very long ago when canada was one of the more libertarian western countries, in terms of the political spectrum. i'm not sure how we woke up with this current surreal debate, between two different strains of literal fascism. but, this is how the liberals co-opt and confuse you - they present themselves as a lesser evil, while continuing to shift the discourse to the hard right.

the prime minister has an obligation to listen to the opposition, whether he likes what they have to say or not. insisting otherwise is an egregious abuse of power and a step towards authoritarianism and must be denounced and resisted.

i would call on the other opposition parties to refuse to meet further with the prime minister until he drops his fascistic and, frankly, somewhat childish, strongarm tactics.
