Today's News: "I'm going to punch him out"

I don't have a lot of stuff to talk about tonight, but I did see some good tweets about the two hearings today - including Nancy Pelosi's "punch him out" line.

Jan 6 Committee hearing: 

Trump knew he lost but he didn't want to admit it.

While watching this hearing - does anyone doubt for a single solitary second that donald trump would sell our national security secrets to the highest bidder?

Even the most corrupt Supreme Court in history gave Trump a 9-0 denial.

Emergencies Act FreeDumb Convoy hearing:

The Emergencies Act inquiry started this morning, and apparently the group of convoy organizers are calling themselves "Freedom Corp". I guess "F🍁ck Trudeau Truck Nutz Trans-Canadian Temper Tantrum Inc." was already taken.

If the biggest trauma in your life was seeing law and order restored in Ottawa you need serious help.

— Dean from Winnipeg (@Dean_Winnipeg) October 14, 2022

And as you have noted previously, the larger context cannot be ignored: A Russian invasion of Ukraine was imminent.
Parliament and government needed to function as an international crisis brewed. Having an occupation force in downtown Ottawa kind of complicated things.

Former Conservative member James Moore, was spot on regarding the Occupation of Ottawa in Feb. 2022, it was total Canadian international embarrassment. Shame on Cons Bergen, Poilievre, Scheer, Kenney & Ford. Trudeau, had to step in & end it, tout de suite.

Paul Champ is the lawyer representing the people of Ottawa at this hearing:

This is a pretty good summary of my own views on the Emergencies Act public inquiry. https://t.co/cdarq3Mq3S

— Paul Champ (@PaulChampLaw) October 13, 2022

"I don't think people really quite get how traumatized, and quite frankly terrorized, the people of Ottawa were. Public services were completely interrupted...People were hostages in their own homes. And we want to make sure that that story is told." Good. https://t.co/Cf9eDoi09q

"Public services were completely interrupted. Ambulances had a hard time getting downtown. Buses were stopped, Para Transpo was stopped. Senior citizens, people with disabilities were significantly impacted.

People were hostages in their own homes.” https://t.co/Z9pMH95b0w

The Pandemic has broken people into two groups. Those who are right most of the time but wish they were wrong, and those who have been wrong most of the time but think they’re always right.

Scott Moe's latest whine:

Sask. policy paper's financial analysis not credible, economist says https://t.co/5PYSKGDdRD

— Andrew Coyne 🇺🇦 (@acoyne) October 13, 2022

Two key take aways from Scott Moe’s Western Separatist Manisfesto: 1. Eliminate all environmental safeguards and allow big global corporations to pollute to their unfettered hearts’ content. 2. Staff the dangerous workplaces with vulnerable (and cheap) Temporary Foreign Workers.
