Feel free to refute any perceived "nonsense". largest US/Can border crossing is currently blocked Fiendish Thingy Feb 2022 #4

Well, first off, you indulge in binary, all or nothing, black or white thinking, which is very flawe Bernardo de La Paz Feb 2022 #6

Did the police/border patrol attempt to stop the blockade of the Ambassador bridge? Fiendish Thingy Feb 2022 #12

Hell No . .. Lovie777 Feb 2022 #2

How many Jan6 are acceptable to you? Did you post US democracy on brink of collapse Jan 2017 & Jan6? Bernardo de La Paz Feb 2022 #15

My position on the fragility of US democracy is easily researched in my past posts on DU. Fiendish Thingy Feb 2022 #20

How many border crossings are there? Spazito Feb 2022 #19

It is the inaction of leadership that puts Canada's democracy at risk Fiendish Thingy Feb 2022 #21

You do know there are 4 big crossings from Michigan to Ontario, right? Spazito Feb 2022 #23

And how would 8,000 more truck a day impact these crossings? Fiendish Thingy Feb 2022 #24

You seriously misunderstand my position- it's not that a new election would be anarchy Fiendish Thingy Feb 2022 #27

You write there is pending "collapse" of democracy & then propose an anarchic election Bernardo de La Paz Feb 2022 #30

Do not give the occupiers what they want: "a new election". It is nonsense to suggest one. . . . nt Bernardo de La Paz Feb 2022 #32

Do you agree Trudeau must be pressured to act boldly to end the crisis? Fiendish Thingy Feb 2022 #33
