[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]What seems to be flying about the head of many, and I don’t know why, is that in Canada, you have the legal right to peaceful protest. Just like the US. There is nothing in the Charter about disruptive protests, which this is. The government and police forces can’t just break them up because they’re being a bunch of disruptive @ssholes. Trudeau has said that he supports their right to protest, and will continue to support that right.

In addition to this, this group came out to basically government and with the intention of being disruptive and acting like @ssholes until their demands are met. They were founded by a group of extreme right wing activists who fancy themselves as freedom fighters. There is no talking and negotiating with them. They want what they want.

Unfortunately, with this type of activist, this has the ability to become violent very quickly and the Canadian public has very little tolerance and stomach for that kind of political violence, or violence on any level. The police aren’t “doing” much because of that. This isn’t a bunch of hippies chained to a door on a hunger strike. This is a contingent that generally supports gun rights, is operating heavy machinery, and is actively picking a fight.

I also want to point out that this isn’t all truckers. If 2000 trucks are participating, this is not even close to 1% of all truckers in Canada. All the professional organizations have denounced the actions. Even if there are a million supporters of this action in the country, that amounts to less than 3% of the population.

Oh, and FWIW, there hasn’t been a change in cross border activity since the vaccine mandate went in to place, so no, no one was or is losing jobs.

Did you post the same message last year when protesters/rioters  blocked highways  or streets ?
Did you support protest in Hong HK last year?  Or were you on the same side of communist  gov from Beijing?  [/quote]

I’m not sure what you’re getting at, but [b]surely you can see a difference[/b] between extreme measures being taken by communist governments vs. Public health measures to protect a public health care system being enacted by a government in a democratic society? [/quote]

:roll: No, they can't see it, don't want to see it, or were paid not to see the difference.
