  • Alan loves Trudolf

    From Mike Powell@1:2320/105 to ALAN IANSON on Friday, March 04, 2022 15:34:00
    I have been occupied with other things.

    But not occupied enough not to troll me in another echo.

    Many have wanted to know your opinion about what your Fur... er, PM has been
    up to lately, with his emergency powers, freezing bank accounts, etc.

    Typical. We were talking about the difference between what is happening on you
    southern border and what is happening on Ukraine's border.

    Yes, I addressed that and then asked you about something else. Keep up.

    Trudeau used his emergency powers well and solved the issue at hand.

    Although they called it "freedom" convoy it was not about freedom.

    You did know that, didn't you?

    Nope. Most of the media coverage here (local, not FOX or CNN) showed a
    bunch of people who seemed to be acting very peacefully, dancing and being social, very much unlike the 2020 "peaceful protests" in the USA. We
    didn't see any buildings beeing looted or property being torched, for
    example.

    Mostly just peaceful Canadians who wanted a voice but, thanks to Trudolf's response, they didn't really get one.

    Saying Trudolf "solved an issue" in your country by using force, while it
    would have been bad for the US to do the same in 2020 (which, based on your past posts, we know you believe it would be bad), seems very contradictory.
    It also seems a very Alan stance to take.

    I also know you don't really like it when other people use their freedoms,
    so I figured you would have Trudolf's back on this one.

    Have you signed up for "truth" social?

    No why would I? I barely use social media as is. I don't need more.

    Yet you claimed that using force and monetary punishments against your Canadian protesters was necessary, but using force against the 2020 US protesters was a no-no.

    I made no such claim.

    Bologna.

    I never said that what is happening on your souther border is OK.

    Also very much bologna, and rotton bologna at that. When Bad Orange Man
    was President, you very much made your opinion about our border crisis
    known.

    Alan Ianson said to Al Thompson:

    Your not making any sense. Americans are free to cross the border into
    Canada.

    Without any paperwork, including covid paperwork, and entering at places other than entry points?

    You will need to have your paperwork in order. This is not new.

    Then you are not free to cross the US<>Canadian border the same way the US<>Mexican border is being crossed, which was the original point.
