From Reuters:
Canada emergency powers still needed, PM says, citing signs of new blockade
Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau on Monday said his government still needed temporary emergency powers in the wake of a truckers’ blockade, citing “real concerns” about threats in the days ahead.
Trudeau told a televised news conference there were signs some truckers were regrouping outside the capital Ottawa and might come back to try to restart a three-week occupation that brought downtown Ottawa to a halt.
We are seeing the perfect definition of a straw-man fallacy — giving the impression of refuting an opponent's argument, while actually refuting an argument which was not advanced by that opponent.
The truckers are not regrouping outside of Ottawa. That is fake news.
“This state of emergency is not over. There continue to be real concerns about the coming days,” Trudeau told reporters.
Yeah - riiight... Trudeau has shown his true colors.
He is a petty tyrant and now that he has the power, he is loath to relinquish it.
