Joe Rogan: "Handsome fellow, kind sensitive guy" is pretty accurate. Something happened in 2019 where he went off the rails and is now being called a dictator and it is reasonable. Maybe hitler is too far, but it's Trudeau's own words that he was planning to not allow antivaxxers to be part of society. Hence Bill Maher's video.

Here's is 1 of Russel Brand's videos: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=S_GnClytz34

The gist of what happened. In the USA all but 7 states lifted all mandates. UK and much of europe had dates set to end the mandates or ended them already.

Trudeau on the otherhand in January 2022 increased restrictions putting thousands of people out of a job. Mostly bipoc because race plays a significant role in the remaining antivaxxer communities.

Trudeau knew race played a significant role and before the convoy showed up in ottawa, he started calling them white supremacists and racists. Meanwhile the mostly punjabi truckers thought it was pretty hilarious to be called white supremacists with unacceptable views.

Trudeau wouldn't even send a staffer to speak with this legitimate protest. Not once would he meet with them. Instead he initiated a never before used national emergency, whose requirements is that ANY other law must be used before this one. That declaring national emergency cannot be used to crush a protest. That's exactly what they did.

Obviously gone much further than when the canadian police arrested indigeonous over protesting pipelines. Or even more recently ottawa police arrested some children who were protesting dress codes. Protesting in Canada has been made illegal.

Which means democracy doesn't exist anymore. The unrestricted right to protest is a fundamental requirement of democracy. If we aren't a democracy anymore, what are we?

Then again, I got tremendously downvoted and flagged.
