The Russian people need to be heard and need to protest, a small uprising can catch fire and change might happen
 

The West is to blame for taking his and fellow oligarchs money and laundering it. But, he's a dictator, invading a sovereign, democratic country.
If we were not beholden to the uber-rich, most peoples lives would be far better and Russia would not be murdering Ukrainians. 

Ukraine will fall and Russia will set up a pro Russian government, meanwhile millions are fleeing and thousands will die in a war that nobody not even the Russian people want. This is a war wanted by a crazy dictator who is living in a fantasy world of the past. The bigger problem is what happens if he decides that he wants parts of Poland and Lithuania

The stick seemed to work. The thing to watch now is whether or not law enforcement in respective jurisdictions will continue to do its job and keep the situation from escalating again.

It was required to clear the protesters... If that's done, the emergency is over and they don't need it anymore. 
I actually think it's really good that their revoking it so quickly.  Takes away the opportunity for those opposed to it to say that Trudeau is abusing his power and taking advantage of the situation.

Okay, Neville.

As someone who absolutely dislikes Trudeau and won't vote for him I have to give him credit for his handling of this.  I doubt he runs again , he had such a low % of the popular vote. % 32 , which is lower than the PCs had.  ( that happened in the last election as well mind you ) But if this protest has done anything , it has probably increased his popularity. Many of the  Conservatives are pandering to a segment that will vote for them regardless.  They are pushing away the  more centralist segment of the population.  It's the old  " cutting off your nose dispite your face " bit. It's going to cost them.

Mulroney's gov't carefully crafted this legislation to replace the War Measures Act. It's a good piece of legislation, it's just too bad they had to enact it. 
 

Now that I agree with. It just struck me that when Trudeau Sr. implemented the War measures act during the FLQ crisis I believe he had the full support and backing of the Conservatives.
