…or whatever it’s called. What better way than to refer you to Kathy Shaidle?
You know the funny thing about civil disobedience? To engage in it, you have to accept the legal consequences of the disobedience instead of jumping into your pick-up truck, lighting a cigarette, and speeding back to the sanctity of the reserve. Wonder which of these two behaviours we’ll see more of today following any anticipated “disruptions.”

Looking at this, I would now be tempted to start creating my own National day of protests (Using blockades) for issues like these:
- Abolishing the Senate
- Significantly Reduce taxes/reduce the size of Governments : Why pay so much tax for a country who can’t even enforce the law? Or deliver a decent healthcare system?
- Close down the CBC
If the cops issue a warrant and/or threatens to remove us and our blockades or for my arrest we’ll just tell them we are armed and ready…
Who’s with me???

Any group who compells business’s to close shop, hinder the nations freedom to move, advertises their ability to exercise leathal force , and threatens physical violence is a terrorist organization.
No Canadian reguardless of nation , colour ,sex , or creed should be excempt of penalty when freedoms or lives are threatened by any extremist element.
The laws against such action needs to be enforced , and if violence ensues the military should be engaged to enforce conditions of peace. These insurrecting criminals need to be brought to justice.

Abolishing the Senate is a bad idea. I would like it provincially equal and effective, more judicially than legislatively (”sober second thought” as Sir John said), but I think electing the Senate wouldn’t give Canadians much better government, maybe worse.
But I’m with you on tax cuts, particularly from the feds, and privatize the CBC, if not make it’s top execs regularly report to Parliament.
Native communities are in desperate need of private property!

Sorry, I meant to write, “and I think even electing the Senate wouldn’t give Canadians much better government, maybe worse”. We need cleaned up appointment procedures, where potential candidates are questioned by a committee of the Senate and are drawn from opposition parties as well. Upper Chambers, if respected for offering a more judicial check legislation from the Commons, can be very good for parliamentary democracy.
