You'd think that. You'd hope that. But plenty of people think they really are terrorists.
I'll go back to Covington. When that went down, I guy I knew (haven't spoken with him in several years) was convinced they were evil racist kids who attacked a noble Native American. I said "no they're not", he said "yes they are", I liked him a video of the event and he said "I don't have time to watch that!" even when I gave him some timestamps, and continued insisting the kids were at fault.
Guy in my (online) D&D group is from Canada, this briefly came up a couple weeks ago when this whole thing started, and he immediately went to "well, we've all seen the Nazi flags" and then went AFK for a bit.
Don't know if it is laziness, fear of being proven wrong, or something else but there's a lot of people who refuse the view the truth even if you literally shove it in their faces.
Being proven wrong has been shown in studies to be physically painful. Similar to flinching away from a candle flame, people flinch away from things they know will prove them wrong (and hurt them).
These people fail the Bene Gesserit Test of Humanity.
Crimeminister Trudy is desperate, he's watching the narrative crumble all around him, he's losing, being booed out of the house. He's falling apart and noe moving into panic, desperation measures to protect his collapsing power.
Serious question - if we can seize all the truckers assets and livelihood without a trial based only on Trudeau’s assertion without evidence that they are “terrorists”
Then can we also seize the BLM funds? Since those were almost without fail “fiery” (as cnn would call it) and led to many deaths and injuries.

Disagree with THE MESSAGE?
You're a terrorist.
You misspelled “great narrative”.
Puts on "They Live" glasses, grabs CBC mike
Looks like a regular Nuremburg Rally out there.

Could they? Sure. But will they? No. Besides, do you want Trudeau to have even one cent more than he already has to work with?
justice != justice
If only you could have secured More for Israel, mr Levant
Oh you mean the Canadian War Act? Good thing they renamed it to something more .... universally applicable.
Pierre Trudeau invoked it. It was the War Measures Act previously. The only people that invoked it outside of a World War are the Trudeaus.
Palpatine: I will, of course, return my emergency powers to the Senate once this crisis has abated.
Of course he's got legal justification. He's got the henchmen with the guns and he's even got his pravda to make it look good.
Anything written on a piece of paper is worthless as long as it's not backed by violence and at least for now, only one side is willing to use that.
