These days they apparently spell it Castreau.

I suppose the meme is still going around about Pierre Trudeau being cucked by a certain foreign leader?

It's not just a meme. Well, the side-by-side comparison photos of Justin and Fidel are a meme in the widely spread sense. But it is a fact that in April 1971 the Trudeaus were a) in the Caribbean for two weeks and b) did not publish their schedule, including at least one visit to an undisclosed island. Justin was born in December 1971.

Add to that c) the remarkably familiar way Fidel, Pierre, and Margaret acted toward each other in Fidel's first official meeting with them in 1976, and d) Justin's remarkably laudatory statement on Fidel's death.

Would you please stop perpetuating this flamewar? I asked you upthread not to go in that direction, and instead you've gone full bore in that direction. Not cool.

(I don't care what side of the argument people are on—I care who is breaking the site guidelines and making HN a more hellish place.)

Maybe it's because other countries are too soft (talking from the perspective of a French who saw suburbs in fire because some people did not want to stop when the police told them so).

He has not (yet) resigned. He has announced his intention to resign. He will step down when a new leader is selected via the internal Liberal leadership race. Additionally, Parliament is prorogued until March 24 via his request of the Governor-General. “Trudeau to resign as prime minister after Liberal leadership race” https://www.cbc.ca/news/politics/trudeau-news-conference-1.7...

Crazy how only Canada has used emergency powers to curtail opposition. In fact it did that twice in 50 years. And only twenty people getting their rights completely stripped because they bothered the federal government workers in Ottawa is good enough according to you? Maybe it's just because I'm part of a minority but your entire comment is exactly the issue with Canadian politics. We basically have 0 rights the mom…

Your account has been breaking the site guidelines badly in this thread. Would you please stop? Regardless of how wrong someone else is or you feel they are, It's not what this site is for, and destroys what it is for.

We've had to ask you this before not long ago, so it would be good if you would review https://news.ycombinator.com/newsguidelines.html and please fix this.

All: if you're going to post in this thread, please make sure you're up-to-date on the site guidelines and that you're following them: https://news.ycombinator.com/newsguidelines.html. That means erring on the side of following them, since they're easy to break unintentionally.

Quite a few accounts who have been here for many years have been breaking the guidelines rather shamefully in this thread. That's dismaying. If established users can't set a good example for others, what chance does this community have? If Hacker News is interesting enough to keep coming back to for years, you owe it to your fellow members not to contribute to destroying it.

p.s. We changed the URL from https://www.bbc.com/news/live/clyjmy7vl64t. Interested readers might want to look at both.

It's not a partisan issue. The Charter is pretty clear on the limitations placed on protests. If those truckers had dispersed within a day they would have been fine. But they were accepting donations and foreign money in order to stay encamped and had no intention of dispersing.

Then arrest them. Debanking should be illegal. It denies you the right to do anything in the current age.

Do you think banking is a charter right? Really confused.

The banks can already choose not to do business with you for any reason or no reason at all. It’s in the pamphlets they give when you open an account.

Investigations and penalties for everyone up the chain, starting with the frontline officers who were on the ground refusing to issue tickets. If an officer chooses to not do their job over their political beliefs they do not belong on the force.

Absolutely. I'm a paramedic. I will be in front of a licensing hearing defending why should be allowed to continue as a paramedic to the DOH if I refuse to treat a patient because of politics/beliefs, as an EMS provider. Depending on the severity, I can even be facing administrative charges of patient abandonment under my state's Administrative Code for standards of care for providers.
