Trudeau?s Prorogation of Parliament is a Mistake He Must Be Allowed to Make Fri Jan 10, 2025 13:18 | Dr James Allan
Justin Trudeau wants to prorogue Parliament to buy time before the election. Voters will punish him for it, says Prof James Allan, but it's a mistake he must be allowed to make without activist judges getting in the way.

for asking John Kerry some questions

The Youtube video link below shows a student being arrested and tazered for asking John Kerry, among other things, why he conceded the presidential election when he allegedly would have known it was rigged. The student was doing nothing other than asking questions which Kerry did not want to answer. He was not violent in any way, nevertheless he was bundled off by security men in front of a large audience not one of whom responded to his cries for help - despite having been clapped by a number of them just moments earlier. He was handcuffed and then tazered while completely defenceless. The only apparent attempt to help him on the video is the sound of a lone woman screaming at the police to stop what they were doing.

This story should be national front page news coverage all around the world. The land of the free and the home of the brave exposed for what it is. The US is in no position to lecture any other country about democracy or human rights abuses:
