#CDNpoli #ONpoli So, just to make sure I've got this: Conservatives in Canada are OUTRAGED over the use of the Emergencies Act to clear the convoy, but are perfectly ok with Doug Ford using the Notwithstanding Clause three times to overrule people's rights?

Sure. Lets bitch about shortages instead of addressing why kids require it in the first place. Jesus Christ people are getting MORE stupid. #cdnpoli

The more I think about this, the more worked up I'm getting. The fact that we are struggling to get access to something as basic as Tylenol is some really third-world bullshit. twitter.com/jengerson/stat…

Hollywood actors like @MarkRuffalo and @LeoDiCaprio are lecturing Indigenous communities on how they should approach resource development. We want these actors to be champions for Indigenous communities. We want them to be champions for Indigenous ownership in resource projects

Chris Barber is asked about the money the convoy raised: "The e-transfers would have went into Ms. Lich's personal bank account"..As for the cash, "I don't know what happened with the cash" Then miraculously he remembers he was handing out envelopes of $500 & then $2K. #Cdnpoli

So I expect all the freedom fighters to show up to protest against Ford's use of the notwithstanding clause. This IS an attack against freedom. Where are y'all?? I can't hear you when it actually matters..... Oh right. This isn't anti Trudeau. So crickets. #cdnpoli

Ford's aggressive use of the notwithstanding clause is really just about normalizing it, under the cover of giving the public something they want. Today, we legislate away some else's rights in your name. Tomorrow, we'll legislate away your rights in their name. #onpoli #cdnpoli

There was no right to strike put in the Charter in 1981, but there was a notwithstanding clause put in it -- and you’re full of shit #cdnpoli

Workers have the freedom to strike. It is protected by the Charter. Using the notwithstanding clause to suspend workers rights is an affront to democracy.

They used the EA to suspend our rights and freeze bank accounts because a bunch of working class people were protesting THEIR abuse of OUR charter rights. These are not serious human beings. #TrudeauMustGo #cdnpoli
