Yeah and even when there was literally hundreds of armed men and a confrontation against the Canadian army... the Canadian government still did not invoke the emergency measure act. They were also blocking crucial bridges into montreal for weeks, killed a police officer and set up a no man's land... yet after multiple weeks they still negotiated a peaceful settlement and kept talking to Mohawk Leaders.

Just goes to show how insanely irresponsible the current federal governement's handling of the trucker rally has been in comparison.

(That doesn't mean I'm not sympathetic to the Mohawk cause, or that I think the federal government should have used force against them.)

I think we are all a little anxious, and trigger happy. Our police, our politicians.

It's like as soon as something remotely similar to a movie they've seen happens everyone thinks, "omg it's happening!" Civil war is happening, just like in the movies. Time to invoke the emergency act.

People seem to have little patience these days to actually think things through. You have people like Trudeau running away and pretending to be sick instead of dealing with issues head on. Either they're out of touch, or something worse.
