Gutless Canadian Parliament

The Canadian Parliament is so gutless, and they are deeming the peaceful protest in Ottawa so "dangerous" - that they won't even debate the Emergencies Act on Zoom. They are such cowards. I can't even begin. Debate on the Emergencies Act has been suspended.

COWARDS.

Jericho Walk taking place in Ottawa, Canada (VIDEO)

Here's a powerful video taken today in Ottawa, Canada.

The resistance appears to be holding up in the face of mind-blowing tyranny under Justin Trudeau, who has yet to meet with any representative of the freedom convoy, despite multiple pleas to do just that. This peaceful protest began on January 23.

Trudeau's actions led to the firing of the first black police chief in Ottawa. What a sad time in history.
