Two-thirds of Canadians want the government to end the protest, even if it takes violence.

I don’t know why you’re confused. These people are insurrectionists. They are trying to overthrow their government and are using economic terrorism to do it. They perform jobs that the survival of Canadian society depends on. They are supposed to be moving food and freight and other things that the economy and basic survival requires. And they’ve stopped doing those jobs - and have effectively turned their role in society into an economic weapon against the government. They are now a domestic enemy at war with the Canadian govt. so it’s time for them to be treated as such. They need to be crushed with overwhelming force. Not just to stop the current insurrection but also to be an example to other groups that might think about going against the government one day. What if all medical personnel in Canada decided not to do their jobs as some kind of insurrection attempt? Or power plant workers? Or firefighters? You cannot allow a precedent like this to be established.

You seem to view all these professionals as slaves, rather than grown men and women being paid for doing an essential job. Fire them like Reagan did, and hire others to work those jobs. That’s the work-around the government has if they don’t like it.

You seem to ignore, this is a coordinated right wing attack. This is not an organic protest of common people.

This is not January 6.

People on the left at the very least understand the issue, and some sympathize or even support. There’s a growing gray area as more people become frustrated.

This. Bill Maher was offering his support on Friday and he donated $1M to Obama and hates Trump. People on all sides of the spectrum are getting very tired of entertaining the anti science, anxiety ridden hypochondriacs who make up half of the Democrat base. The same irrational nutcases who wear masks alone in the woods are the people who are advocating for state sponsored violence against some truckers who are 90 percent vaccinated but just don’t want mandates and other restrictions. Truly some unhinged people out there who would support violence against these people.

Trucker had the green light, biker was in the wrong

So it was ok to hit him?

Yes. Bicyclist are considered vehicles and need to follow the laws as if they’re a car. They pull that card when it’s convenient for them, yet forget about it when it’s not. You want to play a stupid game? Here’s your prize.

Wow. NO. WRONG WRONG WRONG. You are NOT allowed to intentionally hit someone just because they were blocking a green light or "not following the rules."

If you have a driver's license, it should be revoked immediately for getting something SO wrong.

He didn’t hit him. The biker was able to get out of the way. The biker was deliberately trying to block the convoy. The truck moved slowly forward, not intending to run him down.

BS. If you let your car roll forward into someone that's intentional, and he's clearly physical hit but the truck even if he's able to walk away after. I'm not saying that this is the crime of the century or anything but it's a both a traffic violation and possibly more. I had a cousin get probation for deliberately letting her car roll into someone she was having an argument with who was standing in front of her car, actually.

The biker was in the middle of the road when the trucker had a green light. What was the purpose?

I have no idea, but it's not relevant to whether the trucker did anything wrong (I mean arguably if he were threatening the trucker it could be, but he's not). I'm not picking the cyclist's "side," he's probably also committing a traffic violation. It's not unusual for there to be a confrontation where both parties end up breaking the law. My point is only that "I've got a green light" and "you're in my way" aren't legal excuses to hit someone. Take it outside the fraught context of a political argument and we all understand this. How many of people plow through traffic that's blocking the intersection when we've got a green light? No one. That situation happens every day and no one thinks they have a right to hit anyone, because they don't.

It does matter. What is law regarding the biker being in the middle of the road while the light is green, and clearly not planning to move? If he’s violating law and still refuses to move (as evidenced by the video), he’s clearly deliberately blocking traffic. The biker was clearly not run down, nor was he plowed over. The biker got the message loud and clear: get out of the way.

So when the truckers and protesters are in the way of a green light, the can just be run over, right?

Dummy.

You're not allowed to deliberately hit people with your vehicle even if they're breaking the law and even if you manage to do it without hurting them. It's wild that you're pretending it's legal, because it's very clearly not. Both parties could get tickets and the trucker could maybe face criminal charges at least in the states where I've practiced.

Oh the irony. Replace "biker" with "trucker"

Here is a good report on the situation, seems pretty plain and straightforward coverage.

Then encourage lawyers to take on the case and jail the trucker.
