So basically if you are not wearing a mask, you are pro convoy ?   Viva Frei in his interviews shows this to be the case,  every masked person spoke against the protest and was most likely a BLM supporter.

Some gems from another forum:

I must say this convoy bullshit is what finally breaks me after these past two years. It was a rougher two years for me and my partner than most. I had to quit my toxic job over health safety, she lost her mother to terminal cancer, our neighbour drops dead of a massive coronary two months later just before Christmas, her brothers both go full shitty privileged white-man misogyny anti-vaxx/immigrant/LGBQT++, I suffered a concussion. Plus some other stuff. But this suddenly swell of fascist bullshit is too much. I knew it was always here on the down-low politely hidden, I knew it was getting out of hand, but seeing it explode in person ? I can't deal.

I was out of work ~16 months. I start a new job Monday in a new city. I'm in Toronto (keeping the apartment there in case I don't make probation and my partner will be staying there for the time being working) and left Friday... for Ottawa. So I get to see all these trucklodytes driving into Toronto and heading to Ottawa the whole drive. And holy shit, that drive was so utterly depressing I nearly had a breakdown part way. I'm at a point where I see a Ford F-150 or a lifted truck I just presume you're garbage. Luckily I'm staying over in Gatineau instead of near the core (and thank fuck the job is in the west end). I took my partner to the VIA station and these fuckers are driving down the middle of the 417 slowly blocking traffic, weaving through lanes, hey have portions of the city taken over for themselves, but what really fucking grinds my gears? They have the official Ontario digital highway signs directing these assholes to where the rally is.

There is just such an abject failure of government and police (not that I expected otherwise) it's just wrecked me.
View Quote


I can't even imagine what it's like living there right now. I'm so sorry. Everyone in Ottawa deserves so much better.

Seeing the Ottawa police just throw up their hands and not do anything substantial has been infuriating. It's been a week now. The police keep marching out excuse after excuse. The police claim they can't get tow trucks because nobody will work with them (they said they're opening an investigation to see if the convoy people are intimidating towing services into not cooperating) but the city has offered to let the police use their trucks instead but still nothing is done. The police have no issues pulling out the heavy armour and water cannons for indigenous protesters yet apparently they need to treat all these truckers with kid gloves? There's been numerous reports of people being harassed (especially news reporters) and in some cases physically assaulted over the last week. A bunch of businesses have had to close for fear of safety, and one that spoke to the media had their windows smashed. What's it going to take for them to finally crack down on this thing? It stopped being a protest a while ago.

In other news, Pierre "former residential school students just need to be taught the value of hard work" Poilievre has confirmed he's running for Conservative leadership.

Alright. We need to talk about what just went down on parliament hill.

A few thousand Neanderthals occupied the symbol of our democracy;

- flashed swastikas
- flashed every other conceivable conspiracy craziness.
- shit in the snow
- defaced Terry Fox statue
-defaced national war memorial

- forced the Prime Minister and his family into hiding.

———

The CONS are now scrambling to detach themselves from this literal shit show...but I think the MAGA is now permanently stuck to them. The media coverage speaks for itself. —- Alt-right figures from the US also saw fit to show their support for the crazies, throwing more fuel on the fire.

Unlike the US, I expect there will be electoral consequences for the CONs, perhaps in the upcoming provincial elections.

Some are also speculating this will cause another schism within the CPC —- ie. split the party apart progressive Con / Reform style.

Terry Fox attempted to do a marathon across Canada to bring funds and attention to cancer treatment. He did not complete his trek.

Politicizing that statue is inherently disrespectful, and he isn't a political symbol.
Desecrating a Canadian flag with Nazi symbols should be self evident in the other one.

I don't know any truckers participating, the ones I know are all double vaxxed and think these guys are idiots.

The solution really does seem to be that simple.

Have enough people together that they can't possibly detain and arrest everybody, and simply ignore their unlawful commands.

That it was possible to do a mass armed protest.

Fair enough. I am just wondering what it really takes to wrest power away from tyrants. If we do it peacefully I think it will be the first time in my lifetime I have heard of it. If anyone has some examples where it happened peacefully I am all ears. By the way, I think the truckers may have found the middle ground and a near-perfect tactic. Truckers are the lifeblood of the nation and wield more power than they may be aware of. I think it is brilliant.

Sorry friend, but that's completely delusional. 2020 Lobby Day did exactly NOTHING for our side.

It did provide intel for the .gov.

Also it was EXTREAMELY reassuring to them that "we" are no actual threat.

We don't know for sure what might have actually accomplished something. Maybe, perhaps leaving all the guns at home but bringing hand tools and tents? Tearing down the fences and camping on the lawn for weeks???

I don't claim to have an answer, but I can tell you that in the big picture, only a tiny number of people in a little dinky state were affected by lobby day.

People were scared of the unknown on lobby day. Nobody knew what *might* happen. The fear was some nutball setting off a tragic chain reaction. Virtually NOBODY was scared of fathers, mothers, teachers, plumbers, etc standing around with guns. Lobby day PROVED that without some kind of radical lighting a fuse there is ZERO to be worried or afraid of since it's clearly proven to be a bunch of useless posturing.

At this point in American history, Civil disobedience that puts fear into tyrants is going to require stashing the guns and getting out different tools.

Right now, the Canadians have found a working formula. It remains to be seen how effective .gov countermeasures will be and whether the Canadian people can out last them.
