    Poor Pierre. Everyone knew those kinds of elements would be at the rally. And yet the dummy still went.

    How else did he think this was going to play out?

    On a positive note, this is a nightmare for conservatives in Canada. Further division within their ranks.

    Pretty disappointing press conference if you ask me.   but your probably not haha

    The shit with the Terry Fox/Unknown Soldier memorials was disgusting, people should have better sense.  The whole Nazi contingent disgusting.

    That being said, JT, didnt have to continue to add that the PC party was involved in supporting these fringe minorities.  We all know that is not the case.  I also realize that if the shoe was on the other foot, the attacks would be the same.  These people need to lead and tell us we got this, shit will get better-  all of us, not just the vaccinated.

    Also, JT, instead of pushin aside the huge gathering in front of you, talk with the person in charge for fucks sakes, when your clear of C19 of course. Show some respect to the people, listen, and try to figure it out.  What is it, 80%of the Canadian population got the shot, consider it a success and move on cause your not going to change anyones mind at this point.

    I dont want any more mandates.  

    And Mr Singh, your party has lost my vote going forward.  So disappointed by that comment- WS.

    I did not watch the press conference because he continues to be divisive…

    when you have thousands of people pile in a downtown are there will always be misfits…he didn’t act on this.  He thanked them for coming…

    And that was indoors.  How did that sign get through security?  The truckers had no way to control who shows up or not.  This is another epic fail of MSM.

    Hardly what I’d call vandalism. Terry has been decorated before…

    Let me know when blm or any other numerous protest that take place are this responsible.. The politicians are chicken shits…they don’t like the actual workers who keep this country running to heard…. The legacy media is bought and paid … fuck them.

    You hit one of the nails on the head there. Somewhere along the way we lost sight of the fact 80%+ fully vaccinated is a fucking impressive statistic.

  • And seriously, how widespread were the swastikas and confederate flags? I’ve found one nazi image and it looked like 2 different southern flags. Far from representative of the whole, but it sounds like those things were everywhere.

    Not wide spread at all.  I saw one video where the truckers told the dude to move on…no violence, just move on…and the nimrod carry the flag was the only one wearing face covering…he was just a shit disturber…

    The good news is it looks like O’Toole is going to get fired over this…good about time a pro mandate asshole got fired.  Good riddance…

    Not fake news, but blown out of proportion. Do we now say that the sight of Soviet imagery means an entire protest endorses mass murder? Because that’s pretty much what this is. The Prime Minister only said “some” protesters once today.

    Or do you have proof that it was more than a couple idiots who apparently didn’t hang around too long? I’m happy to be proven wrong on this (well, not happy but prepared to be, lol). I’m not asking for images to be shared.

    Does it matter?

    The trucker rally lost the PR war. They might have survived those images but hanging around Ottawa and holding that city hostage was the nail in the coffin for the movement. That and blocking a border.

    Any goodwill they had with the casual observer dissipated. I had some of my own family members excited about it, until they saw the images and the truckers over stayed their welcome.

    Most movements without central leadership goes this way. With no focus or clear singular motive they are easy to be co-opted and framed in a bad light.

    That's me trying to be charitable, because I really believe the people who organized the rally in the first place did not have good intentions. There is plenty of evidence out there about the dark underbelly at the core of the movement. As hard as they tried to hide it, it still peeked through.

    Yeah, totally the same as an upside down Canadian flag and a looney poster.

    Do the dancing on the unknown soldiers grave next.

    That lovely smell of desperation.

    Maybe it doesn’t matter, but I guess I’ll never stop thinking that it should. And I’ll become further fearful of the tyranny of the mob I see at play here (not here specifically, obviously, lol).
