Justin does UNconstitutional things daily in Canada
The problem is that our constitution was written way too recently, and therefore was written by lawyers and politicians rather than founders and visionaries of the country. As a result, our constitution isn't worth the paper it's written on. The constitution starts with a "reasonable" clause that basically says "the government can decide whether any of these restrictions are reasonable". Which completely invalidates the rest of the document. And that doesn't even count the notwithstanding clause witch outright states that even if a government action cannot be justified in their own minds as reasonable, they can still opt out of following the constitution.
We might as well not even have a constitution.
And Canada's Senate and 'Royal' Canadian National Police do nothing.
@@edgar-edgarton The Senate is dominated by liberal appointees, they won't go against their master. The head of the RCMP was appointed by the Liberals, and do their bidding.
This is life in a dictatorship.
Even Canadian constitution is a piece of trash, it justifies everything the government deems as "reasonable"
@@Green__one actually the charter was written in the early 1980s by Pierre Trudeau before he took his famous 'walk in the snow' and stepped down. However our actual constitution known as the British North America act however old Pierre the communist librano made some alterations from the old BNA act removing the parts that support our rights to 1: private property including our guns, and 2; the absolute right to self defense by any means necessary, What's needed is once the Prime Mistake is completely defeated the 'charter' is ripped up and rewritten to be more like the US Bill of Rights ensuring that acts like the first and second amendments in that legal manuscript endowing our rights to freedom of speech, and the right to bear arms are legally enforced not over written by leftist nonsense like in our current charter.
Like father like son.This is what dictators do.
Not the Black Face JT!🤓
He's worse than his father....unbelievably!
@@lisaclark6134
That's a little extreme. I don't think he's worse than Fidel yet.
@@the_Kurgan I was referring to his Canadian daddy!!
@@lisaclark6134
Yeah I know I was trying to be funny. But I have seen the pictures and I'm convinced his daddy is Cuban. 😁
Trudeau must go..
..to jail, lest the next guy do something similar.
Soft on crime for leftists hard on crime for Conservatives.
And yet most of Toronto and the surrounding area still vote for him. Go figure!
@@porto9045 they can't understand what normal is. Or even read english.
Get lost Russian bot.
I’m Canadian ind I say fuck truedeau and I’m thinking of saying it again tommorow.✊🇨🇦✊
✊HATE POLICE....OPEN UP!!🚨
Not just tomorrow, everyday. Let’s be real here 😂
You're under arrest. Assume the position while I put my rubber gloves on.
Yup, it's the daily mantra I our home.
Careful, you'll go to jail for criticizing miss trudeau
Never has a person tried so hard to destroy so much and so many. Shame on him!
Oh no? How about Pol Pot or mao ?
@@user-tz5jc7ik3x Trudeau has them both beat.
In my eyes, about a year and a half
My parents are acting like the lowkey dictatorship in Canada! They should not be allowed to be guardians of any adult anymore, even over me! Justin Trudeau (the Liberal Prime Minister) and Chrystia Freeland (who calls herself the Deputy Prime Minister but is really the deputy dictator) are such incompetent buffoons! Mexico has ruled guardianship of adults 18 years and older unconstitutional since 2021 and Mexico still has the best hospitality in Latin America! Mexico 🇲🇽 is actually safer than the USA 🇺🇸, and yet I’m still a proud American who believes in Constitutional law and order! I support freedom of speech and all the rest of it! Laws still need to be reformed so that the right to full legal capacity is a reality for all adults 18 and older! Guardianship violates the state and federal Constitutional guarantees of due process because it infringes upon an adult’s fundamental right to the least restrictive means of care. Everyone, tell your state legislature to abolish guardianship and preserve the rights of disabled people in the name of the 14th Amendment, Section 1 of the U.S. Constitution! Tell the Supreme Court your legal argument as to why they shall rule guardianship unconstitutional to prevent these abuses of power and violations of rights from occurring in the future!
psychopaths do not experience shame, they will never FEEL ashamed.
'Cuba of the North' 😅
Does he realize just how ironic that is?
Probably proud of it
At this point, Trudeau is on the take. He's in survival mode right now. I believe he's being vindictive towards all Canadians for not agreeing with his disastrous ideology. Even Trudeau is smart enough to see what his reckless government has done to Canada, yet he doubles down with his unbelievable spending and high taxes.
So very true. He does look a bit like Fidel's son.
@@achristian7015 he also looks like Pierre Trudeau 🤷
@@achristian7015 there's a bunch of side-by-side comparisons of the two.
When Steve Forbes is saying Canada is fucked, you know we have hit a new low as a country. I live in Vancouver. Its a shit hole now. We really live in a dystopian time now. Time to rise up folks.
And Eby is just as bad with his legislations against property owners. Like all socialists, he is anti freedom, anti choice..
A revolt is coming...
"Time to rise up folks."
You first.
Most Canadians have no knowledge of the new laws that are presented.
And even if they knew it, it is far from sure that they would find it unacceptable.
That would be because bc votes ndp, Vancouver has been a shithole for 20 years
You may tell, there's no democracy without free speech. First ammendment.
There is no democracy with outright lying under the guise of free speech. The right hides its depravity behind an inscrutable free speech narrative; the recipe for anything but democracy..
We don't have a First Amendment in Canada.
@@GrizzAxxemann actually we do have the right included in a way much like the US Bill of Rights if not in the exact wording as it, it's included in our Charter of Rights and Freedoms and prior to that in the actual Canadian Constitution the BNA act. Sadly when old Pierre Trudeau decided to 'repatriate' it he made sure when he made some amendments to the Charter in particular to fit with his Communist leanings like the complete lack of rights to private property and self defense which are included in the BNA act.
The left wing media in the United States is just as bad as it is in Canada.
CNN and MSNBC seem to push the democrat agenda. They don't seem to have a problem with millions of undocumented illegals pouring in.
The Charter is full of loopholes
Canada has nothing to stop a power from taking over the country.
It states the Canadian military is loyal to the monarchy, and you've see what happened to them in the last 8 years.
The incredible part is 25% of the population still support Trudeau .
Scary isn't it!
It's because they mostly only listen to the mainstream media propaganda machines like the Nazis did to indoctrinate the naïve Germans.
Ya, just look where though. Very telling. Our voting system is broken and needs fixing for someone with such low support to be able to win.
Those 25% don’t care about Canada, but only their relatives, who they want to reunite with in Canada. And the Liberal MPs are the ones helping them by any means. If you know what I mean.
As a landlord myself, what drives me crazy is that it's the people most hurt by his policies that support him! I'm fairly well off so I have the financial flexibility to insulate myself from his idiotic policies, but my tenants, even though I haven't raised rates since before Covid, they can't afford rent, never mind afford their own home! But they'll vote for him again in 2025 because of they don't, the world will end from climate change!
I am a Canadian and Trudeau is going down for his bad government. He should be go out or resign.
It's a treacherous WEF globalist gov't.
Trudeau does not work for Canada. He is a WEF puppet. Whether or not Canadians EVER have another free election is a moot point. - Immigration: Replacement of our population is well underway.
Trudeau relishes the imposition of communistic legislation. He will not resign. He has beefed up his personal security & he ignores the needs of Canadian citizens.
Kim Jon Justin wants power. He has systematically removed the rights and freedoms of everyone else.
Going down? How? With the help of pens and ballots or with bouncy castles and parties? Every Dictators in Mankind history would have laughed at us. We're heading to 2030 and Canadians just yell online.
Prison
1) he's just like Madero, Castro, Xi, Biden, Trump, etc.: he'll never voluntarily step aside because he has a savior complex.
2) He should stay until the election to guarantee a majority win for the conservatives: if the conservatives get a minority win we just get another 4 years of Liberal/NDP power sharing. The only way our nation doesn't tear itself apart is a majority win for the conservatives, and then they have to have the sense to use kid gloves to fix everything the Liberal/NDP government has broken. 🤞
Thank you Mr. Forbes for watching Canada. It is truly getting crazy up here. At least we have received attention from much of the world now. Gracias, merci, and thank you Truckers. 🤠
They could try to jail me for speaking the truth.. but they won’t take me easy, if at all. And if they do.. I’ll go on a hunger strike.. we’re already starving here in Canada so it won’t feel much different.
If they take away your rights, you have nothing to lose and that gives you a unusual power! Be prepared to use it 🤨!
I doubt you'll actually do this.
Instead of hurting yourself when the government couldn't care less, go where you're treated best as Nomad Capitalist puts it. They didn't listen in the past and today. They still won't listen tomorrow. Good luck anyway.
Not enough room in prisons to jail non-criminals.
This is the outcome when everyone is divided, the government like Trudeau’s gov becomes unconstitutional against the people.i think the biggest mistake the people did was walk away from the Lord Jesus Christ Of Nazareth the alpha and the omega.
If the rumors about Trudeau are true, like father like son.
oh my his dad was bad but trudeau jr takes the cake on corruption.
@@kewtd72I don’t know much his Dad but I have talked to my Mom she told me he was bad and yes his Son is much worse.
It's no rumour.
Yes, Castro was a bad man.
Yes his dad Fidel
Great commentary by Forbes. Recently I wrote an article on Bill C-63: "Citizens will avoid criticizing the government; social media companies will act reflexively by removing any content that the government wants to censor; journalists, writers and commentators will not dare criticize gender, ethnicity, religion or the indigenous file for fear of the Inquisition.
In 1984, its protagonist Winston, believed that freedom is the right to believe that two plus two equals four. After he is tortured and his spirit is broken he sits at a café and traces two plus two equals five in the dust on his table.
Once Bill-C-63 passes Canadians will never again believe that two plus two equals four."
1984 is the playbook.
It is a circus up here. What did Canadians expect after they elected a clown multiple times? #TrudeaMustGo #LiberalsMustGo
Liberals cheat.
Election Fraud is their thing.
No first amendment.
No second amendment either.
FJT.

A piece of paper is worthless unless people are willing to stand up and fight for it. At this point, I don't see too many Americans standing up to much these days. Their borders are overrun, and just yesterday in Dearborn Michigan, the population who occupies that city announced death to America. Where's the outrage?....Crickets
I dont know what the "first amendment" or "second amendment" are, but civil rights are in the Constitution Act 1982, and in common law.
@@chucksurgeonertribute2113 Do you live under a rock? Forbes is from the US and they have amendments.
In Canada, there are subsections that contravene civil rights and allow for discrimination based on sex and race.
I am Canadian and I read literally seconds ago, they just found a Canadian police officer guilty of donating $50 to the completely peaceful convoy. Yet there’s many of them who donate to actual +€rr0r’$+$ and they get praised instead. Double standards, two tier justice system.
Exactly. They want to punish wrong think. I'm smart enough but no scholar. Somehow trudeau with his first tier education, has no concept of morality or even ethics as proven by his many infractions. Worst of all, is we feel powerless against this tyrannical govt. We need real protests, and obviously an election
False comparison since the protest was anything but peaceful and had become lawless (at least in the eyes of most Canadians and an independent board of inquiry).
The online harms bill, on the other hand, is a threat to freedom of thought just as the so-called freedom convoy was a threat to democracy
@sudoku1966 the freedom convoy was a threat to democracy?! Do you know what a democracy is? One group cannot simply force a minority to do their bidding. Read 1984 or something before commenting such ignorant things
That's exactly what democracy is - mob rule of government. You're confused because you're thinking of a republic, where the rule of law is supreme in the land.
Independent board of inquiry? Do you mean the inquiry whose lead was hand picked by the Prime Minister and happened to be a long time family friend? Very independent...
I can't stand our Prime Minister JT he needs to go away
"our Prime Minister"?
I live in Canada and this is terrifying
It’s already law in Scotland
Real question.
What is already law?
@@user9b2law prohibiting "hate speech" against LGBT etc; e.g., not using preferred pronouns. Ask JK Rowlings.
Scotland's leader Humzah Yousaf passed the "Hate Crime and Public Order (Scotland) Act" in 2021 ... His wikipedia has a long list of things he's done to Scotland that makes my blood boil.
Listen to a recent exchange between his Deputy PM Freeland and a Media person asking about Home Ownership.
Lord have mercy, she honestly said out front in the medias face. She doesn't recognize home ownership. meaning her ideas of government exclude private home ownership.
"You will own nothing".. and we will own everything.
When did this happen? I can't find any video on this exchange.

Thanks for being a voice for Canadians - we’re all afraid of our future rights under the Trudeau government.
We are living in such unreal times, 20 years ago was like a different world that to even imagine what's going on here now was possible .No one would believe it was even remotely possible and thats only the tip of the iceberg
Yes, we in the west are in trouble.
20 years ago the Liberal Party wasn't run by a clown. Both Jean Chrétien and Paul Martin were way more competent Liberal PMs.
Thank you for getting the word out about our Canada with Sockboy
In Canada, free speech is policed differently depending on what side you vote for.
That's true. PP filters out all opposing comments on his videos. I thought he was a freedom fighter ?
im canadian and the canadian people are very unhappy with what is happening here- waiting for an election and for pierre polievre to take over and bring things back to normal, if that is possible after trudeau's crap!
Maybe, Canada is a joke. They cant figure out how to do it and vote all over the place. 😂😂😂😂
Don't expect any major changes, you will be very disappointed.
Politicians are all the same and they look out for themselves not us.
@@1dashcamboatsandcarsso does America. Problem with Canada is a lot of Canadians are so passive that a lot of them just allow this stuff to happen.
so much damage has been done it will be very difficult and take a long time to recover

Justin Is A..... (CC) Panada Bear? Lol.
Chinada.
Get Trudeau out he is the problem
Trudeau, Freeland, Singh, Guilbeault, Mendocino, Blair, it's not just one of them, it's the entire lot of them! Honestly, how much leading do you thing Trudeau actually does?
I'm a Canadian, and I'm angry every day about what's going on in Canada. What has happened to my country? It doesn't feel like my Canada anymore. I want the old Canada back, the Canada I remember as a kid. This is not my Canada. #NotMyCanada
well said sir we are under attack here in the "free world "
Free world doesn't exist if I was free I could walk into the woods and find myself a spot and build myself a home grow food hunt for food without having to pay out the ass for the thing that I need to survive

Except his father’s buddies are keeping him in power. Canadians absolutely hate him but he’s apparently gonna stay with us for another 2 years. Irredeemable.
Canada is changing under the present 8 year old federal government. Most Canadians are against it. The NDP federal MP' s have formed a coalition with the Liberal government to dominate voting in parliament.
I'm Canadian and I gave up a long time ago.
Me also. And that is why I found a nice little place to go live on the other side of the planet.

Never surrender, guys! You really want the NWO and its acolytes like Trudeau to win? Staying free is hard, but losing freedom is death.
where did you go?@@robertwilliamson922
No mainstream is willing to discuss the suppression of freedom of speech in Canada.
well yeah their strings are getting pulled by the feds
The Canadian government's actions are so beyond reasonable it can't be defined as anything else.
As a result, jailing/imprisoning those responsible isn't just required by law, morality and common sense, it is the only way we can avoid genocide.
How is regulating media into telling the truth instead of lying through its teeth unreasonable? Oh yeah, the right wing worldview is built on an ignorance that cannot survive such scrutiny.
Hey, I dislike Trudeau as much as the next guy. But it sounds like you're suggesting we jail him and his flunkies, without charges, a trial, or even some law he's broken. Do you think that'll make things better?
@billmcc64 Yes it will.
@@billmcc64He'd do the same to us, so why not? 😂 Why would I offer him rights that he'd happily deny me? 🤷♂️
@@billmcc64yes it will
Why is America allowing this on their northern border??
The U.S. is experiencing the same thing. Each country in the west is, it just comes out in slightly different ways in different places.
America is not picky about where its allies sit within the spectrum of hybrid regimes.
Some of my more optimistic friends speak of checks and balances in government. I ask, how does bill C-68 even get proposed without serious political consequences?
The hell with Trudeau and his master Schwab.
Turdo must be stopped
I will always speak my mind. FJT
Many thanks Mr. Forbes.
"Chinese" dictator Turdeau, making her dreams come true.
i live in Canada and am ashamed of what is happening, here comes the THOUGHT POLICE.
Oh really. I guess that explains why very few of my comments are ever seen; much less commented on, by the vast majority here.
Thank you for spreading awareness of this horror that is happening in Canada! Please, continue to spread it far and wide! We are trying to fight it but it's an uphill battle. Getting international pressure from outside our country might help. Thank you!
"We are trying to fight it."
Really? Name one thing that you have done to fight this bill.
I'm a Canadian and content like this restores a bit of my faith in the older generations
Gratitude from Canada 🇨🇦
thanks for speaking out against our petty tyrant leader up here. God Bless America.
There is a movie on this very topic. About being jailed for thinking about or someone thinking you might think of a crime or hate.
I think Tom Cruz was in it??
Minority report
Sad, but true. We'll see them at the polls.
Prancer is on his way out. No need to panic.
Yeah, right. We should have panicked about 4 or 5 years ago. It might be too late now, even with Trudeau gone.
I am sick of this government and don't trust them , I'm saying so knowing full well I am afraid of what they are doing, the government. I don't feel like are voting system is trustworthy anymore!
Like father like son.
I'm Canadian. We are losing everything.
Then they will have to jail everyone!😂
I say this every day FJT
You guys have got to help us! Please, send troops.
Sorry Canada, I was always a big Rush fan! Y'all deserve better!
Thank you, Mr. Forbes 👍🙃
We need more people like you ❤
The Canadian charter isn’t worth the paper it’s printed on.
As a Canadian I concur 100%. I hope that’s ok to say???
North American North Korea
Yes and this is just one of the many worried Canadians who is your neighbour to the north. You may also be concerned?
"TRUDEAU" IS NOT CANADA...and Canadians are tired of getting blamed for the actions of the Crime Minister.
Great Reporting Mr. Forbes and thank you for your candor on these troubling issues we face as Canadian / Americans
Trudope must go permanently
we don't have real elections too, so it all fits the mold.
he acts and implements things like there is never going to be a replacement for him.....that should be the first clue in what we're dealing with.
i am canadian and i am FURIOUS
Thank you so much for covering this!
nah ,too many freedom loving gun owners in the USA
Excellent, Mr. Forbes!
in my opinion only here as a Canadian..... Mr Trudeau and the Liberal Party of Canada may indeed cease to exist as a Political entity in the Canadian Parliament after the next Federal Election.
Such is the grass roots groundswell of disdain for this Governments Policies.... that I can't find a single Liberal supporter anymore/anywhere even among those I KNOW Voted Liberal last Election ?
NOT a ONE !
He'll be voted out. No doubt!
He wants to allow mail in ballots.
@johnb5519
So he can cheat. Everyone will know too. Someone out there will end it!
He will NOT be reinstated.
Of course, but not because of this law, but because his party gave up on their decisive issue - cost of living in the Canadian side of the rust belt - some months ago.
Steve, thanks for helping to air-out the facts on this issue. ❤
I have lost all faith in the Canadian government.
NOTHING IS FOREVER....NOT EVEN JUSTINE TRUDEAU WILL AROUND FOREVER.....
ONE DAY THIS NIGHTMARE OF A PRIME MINISTER WILL BE GONE....
Yes..
He won’t be in power for long, Canadians and everyone else have had enough of his horse 💩
Canadians put Justin in power THREE TIMES NOW! I would not be surprised if they do it again four and five times.
Won't matter as the entire government is captured.
I have considered leaving Canada but I am hoping Poilievre will prevail and dismantle the communist rulings.
The folks in Canada 🇨🇦 that matter, dismiss Justin, and his friends 🍁🌲
Funny you say Cuba of the North since Turdo is Castro's son ( his Mommy was a wild one). We Canadians only have to worry about this until the next election when limp wrist fancy sock boy has to go back to teaching girls how to snowboard.
Thankyou for reporting on this , Canada Needs Help
It’ll get it in 2025.
As a Canadian I can say.....not much, for fear of being imprisoned without trial..
I subscribed after receiving two of thee most educated and eloquently put comments i have even seen on RUclips
Unprecedented by the very very definition of the word
Cuba of the north, l know there is a connection to Cuba and a certain family but l can't put my finger on it .
He WILL not get his way ...Canadians will decide , in fact hey already have .. we just need an election
Canadians decided they're not going to do anything
Thanks Steve
Nothing like having the threat of living under house arrest for crimes that you might commit in the future.
The US like Canada has had EIGHT years of lousy government and both countries show it, would be like me T commenting that you should vote for JFK to see real change in your country! One thing assured we won’t be voting back in the same guy that got us here, unfortunately I can’t say the same for you as it looks like the US is headed back down the same road it already voted against 😮
This Liberal/Socialist/Communism behavior has to STOP. Let’s give a big THANK YOU. To Elon Must for purchasing Twitter how “X” and open up the doors to free speech for everyone regardless of your Party affiliation. Thank you Elon, God Bless you.
oh this is just Canadian behaviour. This law will stay on the books indefinitely because this law is clearly intended to be used by Montreal mosques to punish their critics, because a different law, passed at the American equivalent of the state level, was due to clear a Canadian trial over whether it had correctly violated the First Amendment rights of Jews and Muslims.
Canada has been a very fucked up place for a very long time and by the miracle of being next to the biggest economy in the world with the second greatest emphasis on individual rights of any major country in the world has good odds of continuing to hobble along, most likely not as a country on the map or anything, but as a place with the same basic system which will remain in place. (If it stays a country on the map though, it will probably become like Russia.)
I was born & still live in Canada since 1980. I call B.S. as I've NEVER heard of this.
I have been pissed off about (I am a Canadian) about this creepy PM bills & all my neighbours up here in the Canadian Gullagh are ASLEEP!!!
I can not wait to vote him out!
Same here, getting ready to use my ballots…
Putin would just Annex Canada.
What does Putin have to do with this video's message by Steve ?
@@ThrockmortonJGildersleeve lots of GOP leaders say that their base has been "infected" with Rusian propaganda. So there is that.
the US is already bad enough without adopting canada. we have the rest of the third world annexing the US.
Thanks forbes.
Another Canadian here. I know that after our next election, and if it’s truly a fair election, the next government (hopefully the Conservatives) will have a monumental task ahead of them to clean up the mess that Trudeau had caused. Unfortunately it will take decades to truly put things back to the prosperity and freedoms we had in 2015 before he took office.
and then some
