Like many Canadians, I find the Prosecution's campaign against Tamara and Chris deeply and LASTINGLY offensive. It fills me with unrelenting anger. I would go so far as to suggest that, when the lawyers for the govt side pass away (of natural causes of course), their tombstones should read: "DEAD -- JUST LIKE JUSTICE IN CANADA!" Never have I been so infuriated over something in the public forum.

The Crown prosecutors are delusional if they think they can get away with this! The defense will bring common sense and justice to this farce. The mere mention of their appalling sentencing proposals however is totally offensive!!

They WILL get away with it. I have little doubt.

They will certainly try to, but the defense's job is to push back on this and not let a precedent for 'Mischief' be set. Frankly the fact that they would even have to spend any time at all in jail is abominable! Hopefully the judge will deem time already served sufficient!! 🙏🏻

The defence team has been pretty weak. sadly.

They already have. The process is the punishment and enough Canadians have now seen the degree to which protest organizers and supporters will be persecuted. We are now unlikely to see any further trucker protests or equivalents. Covid is well behind us so the government motivation to continue aggressively pursuing this prosecution is very troubling. It can only mean preparing for the future by preemptively suppressing any meaningful dissent.

I think another convoy-sized meet-up at parliament hill, this time to support Tamara Lich and Chris Barber, is needed. No trucks or other vehicles, just a hundred thousand or so ordinary Canadians with a simple message of "No More".

I think that there is a Freudian typo in the following line:

"It is also the longest mischief trial in our country’s history and as you know by now, just the effort of traveling back and forth from out west to Ottawa and constantly raising funds is an extra lawyer of punishment."

Although "lawyer of punishment" sort of fits, I suspect that it was intended to be "layer of punishment".

The corporation and the state are now obscenely married in the person of Dr Meat (Carney).

Yes but now they are installing a totalitarian regime.

Over the last few weeks I’ve been in the company of many USA folks. Most have no idea of the Convoy consequences ( I’ve loaned or donated both Tamara and Tom’s books) or wtf Elbows UP means.

Meanwhile, in another trial, the crown attorney, Heather Donkers (is that a typo for "bonkers" or "donkeys?") opined:

“This is a case about consent, and equally as important, [sic] this is a case about what is not consent.”

For a moment, I foolishly thought that Trudeau, Teresa Tam, and their accomplices were about to appear in court for their coerced mRNA death-jab conspiracy.

We don't want "Development" housing, we need SINGLE housing led BY the buyer. Individual homes, small, not the McMansions that the rest of the country is seeing.

Cities are toxic.

END:CIV

End:Toronto

Allow Canadians to live all over this country.

Not true. Ithers will enter the market who otherwise couldn't at present. Hopefully there will be a flosd of houses on the market as the housing market crashes too. Can't wait.

When masses of housing are available, they are mostly grabbed up by those who are already the biggest real estate holders.

Praying about the Lich/Barber sentencing. If the crown gets jail time we pray it backfires on the forces of evil in a massive way

I wish the crown would get jail time. But it is not on trial yet.

Once the market crashes, 25-50% the market will pick up. Can't wait!

Market crashes serve the wealthy, they use their masses of money to grab even more.

Blackguard (AKA BlackRock) and Vanguard are poised to feed on the carrion.

I would not be surprised to see the vultures of Hermitage Capital and Vulture in Chief, Bill Browder, picking at the bones as well.

Trish, On the subject of the hockey players, and your reference to porn. A very interesting interview by Candace Owens of E. Michael Jones on his book Libido Dominandi - Sexual Liberation and Political Control, discusses the origins of porn and its use as a method of control (via addiction). Eye opening and hard to ignore. How much of 20th century media was used for propaganda or control of citizens, culminating in our broad addiction of, and control by, smart phones today.

Islamophobes unite!

If we don't want Islam to take over Western countries

Stop supporting Israel!

Israel is not a "country"

Israel is a Western military outpost to enable the West to control oil.

Israel should never have been created by the UK/US

UK/US are the mom and daddy of Israel.

Of course they will always allow their child to be nasty.

I'm no historian, but I believe that the roots go back to the Anglo-French Sykes-Picot treaty of 1916 to do with the spoils of the Ottoman empire.

yes, talks began with the first world war, culminating after the second world war, but there's dressing and there's reality. There was also talk of placing Israel in Ethiopia.

I'm always surprised at the "why" question

It's ALWAYS the same answer.

War is profit.

Simple.

The Military Industrial Complex

The Medical Industrial Complex

The Censorship Industrial Complex

Big Ag

Big Media

Big Banking

It's ALL the same thing

Democracy is dead

Remember playing Tic Tac Toe when you were kids?

Remember when you stopped playing?

Remember why?

Once you know how to game the game, the game ends.

Anyone who thinks Justice is being served by the farcical trial of Chris and Tamara is off on another planet. The entire thing, from Covid Mandates/Lockdowns to the trampling (literally) of Canadian rights to PEACEFULLY protest to this persecutive "trial" can't see the similarity with other totalitarian/authoritarian regimes like Nazi Germany, USSR, Maoist China etc.

Canada has not been the True North Strong and Free for over 5 years now.
