WATCH: US congressman calls out Trudeau's 'oppressive government'US congressman Bob Good, R-VA .The Act would limit who can own firearms in the US. ."H.R. 2377 would allow family members and law enforcement officials to file petitions in federal courts requesting extreme risk protection orders (ERPOs) for the removal of firearms from people who are believed to present an extreme risk of harm to themselves or others," according to the US Congressional Budget Office. ."The bill would require the U.S. Marshals Service (USMS) to serve federal ERPOs, remove firearms if so ordered, and store firearms until a hearing can be held to determine whether the firearms should be returned to or kept from the respondent for a specific period." ."Democrats simply do not believe in the inalienable rights of American citizens to life, libertery and the pursuit of happiness," said Good during the debate.."They believe that your rights come from government, and they, therefore, have the right to take them away. The guarantee provided by our founders to ensure we remain free from foreign invasion and, yes, as our founders clearly warned us, from an oppressive government, like we see in Canada, Australia, and the Democrats' beloved communist China, is the constitutional right of law-abiding citizens to be armed as they choose." .Trudeau received heavy criticism worldwide in recent months with respect to his COVID-19 response and the invocation of the Emergencies Act to deal with freedom protests across the country in early 2022. .In recent travels to Europe, Trudeau was heckled by crowds and the UK media's coverage of his visit was often not flattering. .In early March, Ohio state legislators said Canada belongs on the Religious Persecution Watch List (RPWL) of countries where Christians face extreme persecution.."Specifically condemning the treatment of pastors in Alberta and Manitoba during COVID-19 crackdowns, they introduced a resolution urging the U.S. Commission on International Religious Freedom (USCIRF) to add Canada to the RPWL," wrote Western Standard columnist Linda Slobodian. ."Being on the watch list would put Canada in league with Afghanistan, North Korea, China, Yemen, Pakistan, Cuba, Indonesia, and a host of other nations where Christians are targeted, punished, tortured, jailed — and often killed — for practising their beliefs.".Even Canadians have been critical of Trudeau's talk of "democracy" on the world stage, including media outlets across the country. .After a March address by Trudeau in Berlin, journalist Harrison Faulkner from True North took to Twitter to express his belief Canada's Prime Minister is embarrassing Canadians. .“The respect for the infinite dignity of each individual means no one should be left out,” said Trudeau during the address. .“And this is also true for people who hold different political views. We all need to commit to more listening and less shouting. Diversity of ideas helps us learn from one another.”.“The same guy that jailed political dissidents and froze the bank accounts of peaceful Canadians is now lecturing the world on democracy,” tweeted Faulkner adding, “The world is laughing at us.”.Even CBC reporter Travis Dhanraj, at the time pointed out the hypocrisy of Trudeau's words on Twitter and said, “Talking with people who think differently is how we challenge ourselves; challenging ourselves is how we grow.”
