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.
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.
They are akin to toddlers throwing a fit because they didn't get their way. You had the chance for change during the election. Better luck next time.
Do us all a favour though... if you think Canada stinks so bad, leave. It is disrespectful to fly the flag upside down, I don't care who's in power. It is disrespectful and completely without class to write "FUCK TRUDEAU" on your trucks and on your flags. I can't speak for swastikas and bad actors in Ottawa because I'm not there and I'm smart enough not to swallow everything media feeds me. But I'm seeing these levels of disrespect myself in my community. Grow up. You are a minority... the election proves that... not the amount of people on an overpass or in front of the parliament buildings.

DarthMaeglin said:Ok, a serious question for all the pro-mandate people here. Where does it stop? How far will you deem too far? Your open condescension isn’t proving particularly effective.
I’ll also suggest/ask that if these vaccines are so good and necessary, why hasn’t Trudeau shown leadership and enacted a full mandate for all citizens, coast-to-coast-to-coast?
Beyond Ontario and Canada... looking internationally I understood that this global pandemic was bad. To keep things basic here. As the evolving information came out, I began to understand that this was a virus that spread through droplets and in the air. Thus, masks made sense. I then started to understand that people were getting very sick and some were dying. Stopping the spread made sense. Thus, limiting gatherings and keeping people away from one another made sense. When the vaccines rolled out, I started to learn that it was effective. The virus had been mutating and continued to spread and we couldn't lock people down, so the vaccine really really made sense.
COVID mandates make sense to me. In many ways, I don't like that it's politicians making health decisions in the face of a pandemic... but here we are. Most mandates that didn't make sense to me were because they either weren't enforced enough or they were non sensical. For example: allowing Wal-Mart and CostCo to operate while small businesses couldn't made no sense. But I wasn't on the side of "Hey, open the small businesses, that's not fair!" I was on the stance of "Limit these boxed stores or close them as well!"
I've said this a few times... that we needed the government to draw up these mandates speaks volumes to how stupid we all are.
To me this applies for most if not any law or mandate. Guns for example. How I feel about gun laws in Canada right now may differ next month if someone uses a legal gun to kill 30 kids. Totality of the circumstances.
Everyone has their levels of tolerance. In my entire adult life, I've never seen a law or mandate enacted municipally, provincially, federally that I thought was over reaching.Toronto 2000

How exactly do you equate this video of a mourning woman to liberal policies?
I've seen some comments on here about federal mandates... but myself and quite literally everyone I know personally has been affected personally by provincial (Conservative) mandates.
Whether it's you or the Freedom Convoy... I'll listen to your argument when it comes even remotely close to making sense.Toronto 2000

but when one liberal steps out of line, it's half the country that are to blame.
I wonder how excited these flu trux klan supporters would be to have these degenerates come to their home, block their streets and honk all hours of the night.
I'm sure they would be thrilled.Toronto 2000

Listening to Bergen and Freeland debate in the house leaves me once again with the belief that our politicians are hot garbage.
Liberals and Conservatives. Avoiding questions. Avoiding responsibilities. Avoiding their jobs to be honest.Toronto 2000

The convoy is erecting a soup kitchen to feed people without taxpayer money…some of you folks could learn a thing or two about self reliance from truckers….or is it to easy to have taxpayers pay for your kids, especially when most of you can afford to pay for your lifestyle.Give Peas A Chance…0

Truckers moving into Quebec City to protest, this weekend Toronto…maybe the gun violence will now stop …Give Peas A Chance…0

Because liberals like nosy busy bodies. This is none of the governments business. Go check out blm or others then. For fuck sake Canada has become a nosy country. It starts with the 2 year olds masquerading as adults running around yelling out their vaccine status…soon you’ll start announcing a bowel movement..Give Peas A Chance…0
