Yes. He should have done it sooner. It was very unfair to people suffering from all that crap.
So what you're saying is freezing bank accounts and insurance of truckers and trucker companies and putting them in prison for up to 5 years is just?
Those who continued unlawful activities after multiple warnings? Yes.
I am not from Canada and I am not the most informed on this topic but I don't think it's ok to just completely criminalize a protest movement like that . The last time this emergency thing was enacted was when Quebec separatist movements were increasing and yk terrorism and stuff . This whole trucker thing pales in comparison to that . Imagine if the black rights movement was also criminalized and everyone in it was basically jailed and their bank accounts freezed because a very small fraction of the protest and stuff became violent , won't you be disgusted by such an action ? Clearly this trucker protest was only criminalized because it was right wing and was trying to disrupt Trudeau's extreme hold over the country so he reacted violently , I don't think Trudeau would have enacted anything like this if there were also some leftwing protest movement that had a minority of the people acting violently about something like indigenous tribes or some Canadian issue like that .
Canadian emergency powers are so extreme, they could not justify activating them during 9/11.
Had they been attacked, and used the emergency provisions, Canadians would have spent the last twenty years living under conditions that make the Patriot Act provisions look liberating by comparison.
A BLM assassin attempted the life of a mayoral candidate in Louisville this past week, and was released on a mere $100,000 bail.
I cannot but help but rail against the obvious hypocrisy evident on how we ideologically forgive, or crucify group actions depending upon whether they are mainstream citizens, or cultural Marxists.
Peacefully park your truck, or illegally, but non-violently parade through a federal building, and you are persecuted with the most vitriolic domestic terrorist rhetoric.
A thug affiliated with the most societally dangerous and damaging group of black Marxists to arise in the US shoots at a political candidate, and its just another Monday.
Social justice is not equal justice, and we cannot continue to allow the US and Canadian left to treat terrorists as patriots, and patriots as terrorists.
The disparities are evident and obvious, and only a dedicated enemy of both liberty and humanity can deny it.

Cows.
Thought I had mentioned them more than once.
Cows and horses are very popular here, and a lot of us keep a donkey or two to chase out the coyotes.
They breed like rabbits, though, so if you are not careful, you end up desperately looking for people to give them to, because they have too little value to market for anything.
Goats are not uncommon for people to keep on smaller parcels of land, including a large enough front or back yard.
There is a chicken plant local to me, and there many farms in the county that maintain chicken houses with them, along with other livestock.
It is a whole program where they stock you with the chicks to raise, then come back to pick up the adults, then pay you the difference between the two.
It is more, and less humane work with a smaller profit margin.
With my property being mostly good pasturage that typically makes more hay than usually need, the cows have served me well by themselves, but my end of the business has been eroded over the years by the vagaries of progressive economic and environmental policy.
If things do not change, I may have to make a switch sometime in the future to maintain myself.
That is the progressive goal for small agriculture.
Drive us all out of business so that only a few mega commercial interests are left, and you have only them and their ideologically informed standards of mercy and competence to feed you.

Better ratings for the Weather Channel.
Local American forecasters are renowned for sensationalizing weather events before and after to justify their jobs and budgets.
BBC networks are fairly overdramatic.
Perhaps you have a similar problem on that side of the pond.
The left-wing rule on Hitler analogies is that they cannot be applied to left-wing luminaries regardless of accuracy.

True, the BBC, and its commonwealth counterparts are not exactly capitalist enterprises, but my observation is that the English have a tendency for exaggeration, or perhaps just drama in general.
American liberals enshrine aspects of the culture in NPR and PBS programming for a reason after all.

I am curious about your take on this. The cost of college attendance has significantly outpaced inflation and wage growth over the last 40 or so years (https://myelearningworld.com/cost-of-college-vs-inflation/, https://www.cnbc.com/2021/11/02/the-gap-in-college-costs-and-earnings-for-young-workers-since-1980.html). Today the average cost of college attendance for a 4 year degree is around $25,000/year, or $100,000 total (https://educationdata.org/average-cost-of-college) including tuition, room and board, food, books, fees, etc. Of course there are ways you can get this down if you qualify for scholarships/grants, but it will still generally be a higher number than most people would like, especially when compared to a few decades ago.
Now I certainly don't have too much sympathy for those that majored in anthropology and then complain that they're swimming in debt without a good paying job, but you really shouldn't look at these cases since they're irrelevant to the core issue. This affects everyone getting a degree, regardless of how much they're paid, since everyone is paying a higher proportion of their income for college than in the past.
Medical school, for example, has drastically increased in costs even though many doctors are not making more money relative to 20 years ago thanks to reimbursement cuts. Increasing costs without increasing benefit effectively decreases your total earning potential, which I think is something worthy of complaint for anyone.
Indeed.
Of all American industry, secondary education boasts the longest, straightest, hockey stick graph of ever increasing cost.
Institutions like Yale and Harvard maintain cash endowments that could cover a years tuition for all of their students.
Yet they are not looked upon with the same derision and condescension that progressives heap upon less subsidized, and more honestly profitable businesses that cannot take near the advantage of their customers that secondary schools do of theirs.
While most businesses are heckled for their incomes, and unreasonable demands for reduced or free service and product are rabidly made by communists, schools are revered as holy sites and left untouched by slanderous demand to reduce their fares.
It is always defaulted to government to take up the sword for the interest of students, and keep the pockets of questionably deserved academics richly filled by yet more wealth redistributing pyramid schemes.
By the conclusion of the Obama administration, the federal government acquired dangerous ownership of two vital foundations of private infrastructure.
Home mortgage, and student debt.
Nothing good has yet, or ever will come of that.

College tuition is rising because of a reduction in business subsidies into private education, which forces the universities and colleges to push a greater portion of the educational costs onto students. There are some ways to lower prices, I will list them below.
One way to solve this will be to accept more students into private educational institutions may lower the costs, since the burden on the students will be spread out to more people. But this will be costly as well since more desks and space will be needed.
Another method is to implement more online educational programs. This will be a very cheap alternative for colleges and universities and will therefore make the price lower for students. This is already happening with Covid-19, so it's not too far off.
Yet another method is a possible volunteer work program where students help the school with all sorts of things (e.g. cleaning, helping teachers, etc.) and the school will partially cut the costs of their tuition.
Free education is not a viable alternative, as it could cost the government trillions of dollars and the education will overall not be as high-quality.
These are just some ideas to solve rising college tuition prices, but let me know what you think!
Kalatchevia and Forensic reality
1) Online programs have been part and parcel of both traditional American colleges, and new organizations that pretty much only exist online, have been with us in the US for many years now before Covid, and their cost depending on institution and program is a little less, but can still be costly depending on what degrees you are pursuing.
2) Has existed in many American institutions forever, and typically provides enough relief to reduce a Herculean struggle to just a monumental one.
The God's honest truth about tuition in the US, is that no one really wants it to be cheaper.
From Ivy League to community college, the progressive administrators, and politicians they train, want the cost simply deferred.
Like primary public schools typically being indiscriminately funded by state property taxes regardless of how many, or any children living on it, progressive education moguls want secondary education funded in a similar fashion.
Just an arbitrarily assigned dollar amount per student that does not have to qualify itself to anyone for any reason.
You thought communist indoctrination was unassailable now?
You would really have your face rubbed in it, paying for it, even if you never had a child to send to college.
We have been chewing on this problem for decades now, but like the Israeli/Palestinian problem, we cannot solve it despite all of the reasonable options proffered, because we refuse to admit that the Palestinians do not want to solve the problem.
At least not in a reasonable western fashion.
Much like California is the number one tax revenue collector, but almost dead last in quality of services, and the US by a large margin spending the most per child for K-12 public education yet placing around 40th out of about 190 countries for quality.
The problem is not money.
Americans anyway, are not getting their money's worth, and raising or lowering costs are not going to solve a quality problem.
The quality of service providers must be reassessed and addressed.

“Justice is merely a construct of the current power base” - (Maul from SW)
“Listen-I say that justice is nothing other than the advantage of the stronger” - (Thrasymachus from Republic by Plato)
Two of the best quotes about Justice. Justice it is nothing more than Perspective. “Equal Justice” will never be truly achieved because our opinions of “Justice” are all different, therefore what even is “Equal Justice”? That question will never be answered either, therefore whenever we discuss “Justice” remember that we are going down a path where we never reach a solution that works for everyone.
