We realized there would be mass arrests of peaceful protesters but this conduct is completely inexcusable. The police even pepper sprayed a journalist. This is shameful conduct from mercenaries with no self respect. Stand true people. Stand true. The world is watching. "The arc of the moral universe is long but it bends towards justice. We shall overcome."This is what the regime will do when you peacefully stand up. Do we we still live in a democracy? Canadians, please be cautious. Some officers' reckless use of force shows complete disregard for your safety and protection. #serveandprotect https://t.co/nvtPx7P0A3

This is why so many people are protesting. Justin Trudeau is breaking the law. He has broken the Charter of Rights. This is not over. It has only just begun. News release from Police on Guard:
"Since December 2020 Police on Guard has been standing firm for the Charter of Rights and Freedoms of all Canadians. We have been very vocal about our stance that officers need to remember the Oath they took to uphold the Charter of Rights and Freedoms and the Constitution of Canada. For the last three weeks we have witnessed firsthand people from all over Canada attending our nation’s capital to peacefully protest. This right is a guaranteed right under the Charter Rights and Freedoms, Sections 2 and 6."
"Today on February 18, 2022, an elderly woman with a walking aid in attendance at our Nation’s capital was on camera speaking her message of peace love and happiness. Moments later she was trampled by members of the mounted unit in attendance to deal with the protests. Another protester was also caught under the horses. The status of their injuries is not known at the time of this release. Multiple angles are available of the incident. It is shocking and terrifying to observe these events unfold. There is grave concern about the status of our democracy in Canada at this time. We again strongly urge and beg our officers across this great country to remember their Oath to uphold the Constitution and the charter. These protections are in place to guarantee the rights of the people. This is the Oath we took and stand by it." To those in a positions of police leadership, we urge you to please remind officers to remember this Oath."
They do not have the right to move peaceful protesters out of Ottawa. That is illegal. The more they take away, the more others will come to take their place. Justin Trudeau has run out of lies.
Justin Trudeau has turned Ottawa into Tiananmen Square. The wrong shall fail, the right previal.
Trudeau’s Canada
