>I hadn't thought about it that way, but it certainly would explain his actions. You don't compromise with nazis after all.

The question though, are these protests really what he has called them? Are they really a military occupation?

>This would explain a lot about Trump too. He was in a misinformation bubble as well.

100% true. You will find even republican ideologues have called him out on many of his bullshit things. Hell his rhetoric was toxic. Tons of improvement could happen over Trump.

>Which means even world leaders aren't immune to this tribal trap.

It's built into our psychology, but not something out of control. Harper was in power for 9 years and never called in the military. He never demonized his political opponents. He never falsely labelled a peaceful protest as a military occupation. He never smeared political opponents as 'racists and white nationalists with unacceptable views'. He never declared a state of emergency to crush dissent.

Trudeau doesn't need the military. He gave himself to power to seize your bank account because you're a protester. No court orders. No due process.

Deputy Prime Minister Chrystia Freeland said at Monday's news conference that banks would be able freeze personal accounts of anyone linked with the protests without any need for a court order.
