FFS! PP just said Harper ended softwood lumber dispute within 3 mos of getting into office & as soon as Trudeau got in, had tariffs slapped on us & still there after 8 yrs.

Harper had Obama, Trudeau Trump. Then Biden inherited Trump's mess & there's been a pandemic 🤦‍♀️

I can hear loud chatter from CPC benches - all while NDP leader is trying to ask his question. He finally had to stop talking and wait. Poilievre and Scheer are visible on the screen throwing their heads back while smiling broadly (camera panned the room while Singh waited) #QP
2/
 Do the CPC MPs and leader not understand how this looks to Canadians (outside of their base)? They appear unserious and like children.
3/
 (Decided to back and make a screenshot from @CPAC_TV livestream of #QP)

The CC shown is part of the NDP Leader's question. Quite the juxtaposition with how the CPC leader is behaving - guess he doesn't care about our democracy ⤵️ Image

Xi Jinping’s scolding shows that Justin Trudeau is doing his job thestar.com/politics/polit… via @torontostar

 (Abbrev) "The “leak,” to be clear, was the standard readout the PMO issues after almost every leader-to-leader conversation. Foreign Affairs Min Joly also participated in this “leak” by holding a press conference w/travelling media in Bali, discussing what Trudeau said to Xi."

 Clever of China's leader to act out of character and cause a stir w/his body language, and act put out over a routine readout that was NOT a leak to the press as he falsely claimed. He successfully switched the coverage from that of China's interference in Canada's politics.
2/
 I'm seeing the story of Trudeau and Xi's exchange but not seeing much about the contents of the routine readout. ...
3/
 (Abbrev) "According to the readout, during the brief discussion between the two leaders [...] Trudeau raised concerns about media reports that China covertly funded 11 candidates in the 2019 federal election." cbc.ca/news/politics/…

So, what would have happened if the EA wasn't invoked? That's what I'd like to know. I've been following the Inquiry on CPAC, and I'm getting the impression the trucks were there for the long term and the Ottawa & Ont police were not getting them moved out. It was a seige #pnpcbc
2/
 I get the impression they were at an impasse. Tow trucks wouldn't comply. Counter protests (understandable they'd be fed up) raised risks. The convoy participants were getting emboldened by lack of enforcement and setting more barrel fires in the street, open movement of fuel.
(Redo) 3/
Counter protesters fed up = raised risk of clashing w/convoy. Fed with being sleep deprived, w/convoy urinating & defecating on their properties, of being harassed for wearing masks, of lack of children getting access to hosp treatments, of businesses closed, and so on.

Campbell: The Freedom Convoy blockades were never about COVID-19 calgaryherald.com/opinion/column… via @calgaryherald
2/
 (From above article) "Attending a protest to whinge about job loss resulting from a refusal to meet fitness to work requirements (i.e. vaccination against COVID-19) is the ultimate in privileged griping."
3/
 (Abbrev) "Those who attended blockades to end C19 were absurd — one can't protest global pandemic to a conclusion. Never about COVID, vaccines, jobs, trucks, pub health meas or anything remotely tangible. Worse, blockaders in [Campbell's] view behaved like domestic terrorists"
