None of what these so-called protesters have to say is newsworthy or factual.

Pleased to hear significant fines & loss of license for blocking the usual flow of traffic 👏
What we all want to know: will that apply to the Timmies drive-thru on Regent Street? 😀

I made the executive decision to move to a four day week, meaning no client calls or engagements on Fridays. In honor of the first of many four day weeks, I decided to go to my local for a chilly bevy with a friend in from out of town.
Under no reason should any level of government sit down with the Ottawa occupiers. None. I’m so disappointed in
@CPC_HQ
for suggesting Trudeau do anything of the sorts.

Restore freedom, huh? My 2-cents, vast majority of Canadians don’t feel their freedom has ever been in question.
Sure, lockdowns have been hard. But needed to get us to where the risk is much, much lower today.

1. Did they get permission to block a major city street?
2. >50 people at an informal outdoor gathering.
3. No masks and not socially distanced.
Likely was the same group that was planning the blockage at the market.
Why isn't law enforcement handing out fines?

You failed to mention Pierre Trudeau's NEP cost Alberta between $50 and $100 billion and comparing Hibernia loan guarantees to Justin Trudeau's nationalization of a pipeline is apples/oranges.

I like Premier Higgs’ approach to answering questions: short and to the point. No spin.
No reason for having other ministers out doing press conferences. Dr. Russell & Premier covering what we need to know. When we need to hear from health or education, we will.

Got a call from GNB on my application to volunteer.

Time to enforce the rules. A $1,500 fine, a week behind bars, and a 90-day impound of any vehicles used by the protestors would be a good start. Send a message.

Good on Trudeau for taking his son & maybe other kids who were not in the photo to see a movie. Shared a photo like many other parents have done.
Despite your political views & whatever his motivations for posting..and maybe just being a Dad (?), negative comments are offside.

If you leave & return, don't expect government repatriation flights, but do expect a mandatory 14-day quarantine & testing in a monitored hotel. I'm fine with the constitutional right of freedom of entry but not at the expense of public health.

All of the items mentioned, income, housing, jobs are responsibilities of other ministerial departments. Clearly, a policitically driven ministry. I hope this comes to an end in next government.
You have a right to protest and to not get a vaccine. You are not entitled to violate emergency measures on public gatherings and masks. Next time, public safety should slap a few with fines ~ maximum permitted. They can join the dude from Freddy and the SJ preacher in court.
