34. Mark my words, His action will EMPOWER the most dangerous in both our countries.

You make good points,
but i am still opposed to the executive branch waiving constitutional protections , EXCEPT in cases when all normal legal processes have been exhausted, and or the immediacy of a threat requires.
/
He did not exhaust the normal legal means of resolving this problem,
/
He may have felt this was an issue of expediency, and beyond the capacity of
"normal" methods to solve. I disagree with that conclusion.
.
And again, I ask - if this is allowed by a "lib" /
why would anyone not believe it will be used by another "tRump"
he pushed his country over a slippery slope,
imagine all the other laws the leadership might want to suspend,
when it suits their narrative- of necessity - -
/
. . I do remember the weather underground, and others,
My point is - we are a country of laws, and until those laws are shown to have
been followed and exhausted, we should not be suspending them to deal with
difficult situations.

. The laws and constitution "SHOULD" prevent a single leader
from suspending them,
/
These protesters broke many laws / as did every other group you mentioned,
IMHO we - and Trudeau - have sufficient legal means to deal with those who
would break our laws. In fact - in your first paragraph you mentioned 3 racist
groups whose funding you appear willing to extra judiciously prevent or seizing
their funding. . . I ask, why not go thru the courts, i seem to remember hearing
recently courts have been used to bankrupt similar groups.

Finally, you seem to suggest we should use nuance to decide who gets the
protection of the constitution,
/ I would respectfully disagree -
I suggest we should use and follow normal legal process.

Otherwise, the law will not be applied equally,
it could swing with the political winds .

Just my $ .02 / = opinions, / and we all know what that's worth

Thanks again,
peace
