Trudeau fummelt herum, während kanadische Flaggen brennen

No pickup truck? No problem!

Last I checked, there was nothing even remotely illegal about burning a flag.

I don’t like it any more than anyone else, but it’s free expression.

Agreed. He should go to every protest with a fire extinguisher and put out those flag fires! /s

I know y’all don’t like Trudeau, but outside of politicians condemning flag burning, there is little else they can or should do. 

To all the people asking ‘what Trudeau should do’, maybe he could say something about how this is a problem in our society, and shouldn’t be socially acceptable. Like remember what that 9 year old girl had her hijab ripped off and Trudeau flew across the country to visit the family? (It was made-up, but that’s another story)

But there are battleground ridings with enough people who agree with the protestors.

Perhaps enacting a law that if you do something subversive and you are not a citizen, out you go.

Burn flags all you want. Chant for the death of my country. Yeah nah.

frreedom convoy, not a single fire started not a single window broken=war meassures act

this burning canadian flags and inciting death to canada, nothing

What should Trudeau do, exactly? Use the EMA – again?

Personally arrest these people? For what?
I.e. what specific crime have they committed?

We can’t arrest people for saying things we don’t like. They have to break a law.

Then there’s the issue of cracking down too fast and too hard.

Had Trudeau invoked the EMA on the first weekend of the convoy, that would definitely have been overreaching. He waited to see what the Ottawa police did – they did nothing.

Then he waited to see what Doug Ford would do, and he did nothing. It was only after 2 layers of government were unwilling or underresourced to do anything that Trudeau stepped in.

At this point, there’s no big threat to life or limb. These protestors aren’t ransacking homeless shelters for food. They’re not harassing restaurant staff. Their protests are confined to a particular location.

I’m sure CSIS is in attendance and taking names quietly, as they should, as are RCMP. When certain people break specific laws that will see them meaningfully “punished”, then and only then can arrests be made.

If they have bonafide links to Hamas, Hezbollah, or other hostile entities, they will be dealt with accordingly.

Until then, let them burn flags.

Let’s also pause to remember that while Ottawa was under occupation, PP was handing out fucking doughnuts and coffee to people who were demanding that they form government.

Why are they chanting death when pretty much all of our vital sectors are already dead.

Let’s definitely not protest housing or you know, anything that is actually related to Canada

I’m interested in hearing what legal action the government could take to stop this sort of behaviour, using existing law.

These people know they don’t have to live here in Canada right? If it’s such a terrible place that you feel the need to burn the flag…leave.

Wtf is wrong with anti Israel people.
Try burning a flag of a country where you stand anywhere in the continent of Asia and you’ll be charged with treason.

You are only able to do this because you have rights and freedom of expression. Please don’t, it’s disrespectful.

Deeply hurt !

Immigrant (and generally pro Palestine) here: send these imbeciles abroad to wherever the hell they want to go. If death to Canada, please get the hell out. We don’t want you.
