Most Canadians who plan on voting for the Liberal party are more motivated to stop the Conservatives from winning the election rather than endorsing the party's vision and leader, according to a new poll released on Monday.

Then he shuts down, at the behest of Mr. Buffet, every trucker or rail worker dispute by forcing them back to work and labeling them as 'right wing extremists' for the audacity of asking for time off, reasonable pay, and enough workers to insure safe travels (especially in the rail industry).

To be clear, there has been back to work legislation for railroad workers for decades, in 2022 it was not used. As far as I'm aware it was last used against Canada Post. Though it has been used by the provincial conservative parties quite a few times.

The convoy was not a trucker dispute. After it was over there were tons of trucks left. How many grassroots truckers can afford a month off work and to leave their vehicles? A lot of the trucks were rented or taken without permission from employers. The convoy was denounced by all the trucker and teamster organizations.

They had a mandate to remove the entire government from power and make themselves the government, months after a federal election.

Additionally, the liberal government has taken to shutting down bank accounts of people that they accuse, whether with evidence or not, of 'conspiring' against them

Anyone whose accounts were frozen were literally funding crimes. There was a whole year long investigation, no wrongdoing was found on this. It wasn't "I don't like these guys", the convoy was run by fucking terrorists.

Canadian news media is obligated to report the version of events supplied to them by the government or be censured and permanently shut down

Citation needed. I've never heard anything about this, so if it's true please provide evidence.
