Check out the human rights abuses and deaths that occurred in constructing the venues for the World Cup of soccer and Canada and their 12 soccers fans are over joyed to be going…
If Kenney makes it past April I’d be shocked. If fatty ford in Ontario gets a majority I’d be shocked…they are liberals with no morals and they can go hide with their racist friend the PM…
The crowd in support of the trucker convoy in Victoria was much smaller than last weekend's, and smaller than anticipated. Counter-protestors were evident as well both at the main convoy protest area in front of the legislature and in other areas downtown. I can attest that the convoy participants were noisy and irritating for a few hours then they petered out.
In Vancouver a group of pro-science/pro-vaxx cyclists, with some counterprotestors on foot, blocked the route of the truckers who were trying to reach and harass two of the main city hospitals - go cyclists! The
“Nationwide insurrection,” “terrorists,” the fear is strong in this woman. Quite a bit of precrime going on here, and it’s cute that there’s concerns about what treatment counter protesters would endure from the convoy but not the flip side (which as Winnipeg showed is just as likely.
In Toronto yesterday the protest was peaceful, and when police asked them to disperse, they did so without incident. The horror…the horror!

Winnipeg police say that the driver of the car does not appear to have a motive related to the cause of the protest.
Yes, I saw a report last night asking viewers to be mindful of the full context of what happened in Winnipeg. Shit, as I type I realize that’s all I’ve been asking for throughout this protest: full and proper context.
I should also acknowledge that my local news station (CP24) actually delivered fairly balanced coverage of the Toronto happenings.

An elder representing the Algonquin nation calls the truck convoy protest actions on their territory "unacceptable", and points out that the nation did not give permission for the use of their unceded territory for the protest and associated activities. Those who support the Indigenous nations will of course pay heed to their request for the truck convoy to leave, correct?
An Algonquin elder from Kitigan Zibi Anishinabeg says truck convoy protesters in downtown Ottawa and their supporters, some of whom have been conducting First Nations ceremonies, are overstepping their boundaries.
"We don't know who these people are," said Claudette Commanda.
"We never provided any permission for anyone to use any portion of our unsurrendered, unceded homeland for any of this kind of rally, gathering, protest or even ceremonies."

On Wednesday, the Algonquins of Pikwakanagan, the Algonquin Anishinabeg Nation Tribal Council and Kitigan Zibi Anishinabeg issued a statement saying they do not support the convoy and the actions taking place on their territory were "unacceptable."

Interesting read, but unless they’re suggesting that every group that protests in Ottawa needs to ask their permission (which I would call unreasonable if for no reason more than practicality), they really just have a problem with their fellow FN who choose to stand with the convoy. I’ll admit that I’m utterly unfamiliar with the cultural norms around this.
I had to chuckle reading the statement that ends the article, whoever wrote it has a very short memory, lol. “If peaceful protests of critical infrastructure at Coutts is allowed, then we expect the same to be true in the future should Indigenous people engage in similar forms of protest.” I can remember several weeks leading up to covid taking hold in Canada that suggest they set the precedent.
