Re: Truckers convoy
I saw photos of a some truckers/demonstrators expressing dissatisfaction with Mr. Ford. I believe a lot of Conservatives are not pleased with him or Mr. O'Toole. I believe the Conservative party needs a big shake up and many party members would like to see a change in leadership. I personally hope Pierre Poilievre will eventually lead the party and stop it from pandering to every ridiculous "ultra-left" opinion that seem to slowly push the boundary of common sense.
On a different note, the mainstream media have accused the protesters in Ottawa that many were using signs in poor taste. They're not wrong, but the Trucker's protest are hardly alone in this. One only has to search the web for protests against Doug Ford and his government. You'll see plenty of unsavory signs there from the teacher's union, parents & their children, healthcare workers, etc.
Here's such a sign:

Re: Truckers convoy
Canada used to be a respected middle power, we exuded soft power. Countries looked to us for leadership and as a fair broker.

Re: Truckers convoy
There’s a convoy headed to Queens Park on Feb 5th I’m told. The premiers are just as much responsible for the Covid nonsense as the Coward of the Cottage.

Nobody is protesting against the premiers who actually put the mask mandates and vaccine passports in place.
I guarantee the Queen's Park protest will have more anti-Trudeau signs than anti-Ford.

Re: Truckers convoy
Yes, I know it's from another protest. As I have explained in my text (not sure if you read it), I was just pointing out unsavory signs. As a parent, I would not expose my child who has no capacity to understand politics to such situations (making them hold a sign and expressing "HATE"). I think a child has better things to do than "HATE politicians".Bingo Fuel wrote: ↑Wed Feb 02, 2022 9:36 am Which is from a protest about education funding. Nothing to do with COVID.

I did read your post, and you did not clarify that it was not a COVID protest.

My point is that nobody is holding the premiers accountable, when they're the ones responsible for most of the mandates.
Re: Truckers convoy
Actually, it is not the same thing.Just another canuck wrote: ↑Wed Feb 02, 2022 7:33 amOnce again, having to choose between paying your mortgage, feeding your children and keeping the lights on and getting vaccinated is NOT a choice. No, you were not held down against your will and jabbed with a needle, but it’s the same thing.
But I like how when somebody does something that will affect your ability pay your mortgage, it is so terrible but you have no problem doing an action is response which will affect others at random in the same way.
As always with those blockading, whether I agree with their message or not......arrest them. For legal protests.......thank you for your point, I will consider it.

Re: Truckers convoy
You're right. I could have been more clear. I agree with you. Premiers are responsible for denying Canadian free travel (among other things). There absolutely no reason one was "able to travel" from Toronto to Timmins, but not from Toronto to Halifax. That is inexcusable and I don't have words strong enough to condemn that. That's some "North Korea" style policy.Bingo Fuel wrote: ↑Wed Feb 02, 2022 9:46 am

Re: Truckers convoy
Oh wouldn't it have been nice if Trudeau had exhibited even that base level of leadership. Instead he didn't just dismiss the protest before it even started, he demonized the participants and everyone who agrees with and supports them, which seems to be the majority of Canadians, if online polling is to be believed. He has incited and agitated this situation at every opportunity with his absolute incompetence, and he has displayed that he is completely out of touch with the people and that he has no problem lying to us.

But that is independent of my views on traffic blockers, especially ones designed for economic harm.

Awesome.
Convoy #2, Farmers.
https://ottawacitizen.com/news/local-ne ... -to-ottawa
Go Fund me for the first one just cracked $10 million.
Small, radical event that doesn't speak for Canadians.
PM is totally responsible.
Zero sympathy for Ottawa.
I have a call into my MP to discuss the abhorrent behavior of the government and the media and their division of MY country. I am really angry that both are tearing this nation apart. I won't tolerate it anymore.
I'll report back. I'm probably way back in line!!

(I was originally going to write "or they'd get there by the time COVID is over", but that's too optimistic, even for a joke)
As an AvCanada discussion grows longer:
-the probability of 'entitlement' being mentioned, approaches 1
-one will be accused of using bad airmanship

Ottawa calling in the Military. Tanks. APC’s. Machine Guns.
https://www.theguardian.com/world/2022/ ... nada-covid
Ready to gun down a bunch of hard working truckers engaged in Peaceful, Legal protests?
That’ll play well on the overseas Media.
CBC can’t wait. The Left would love it. Bloodthirsty. Good for ratings!
All because our cowardly leader….won’t lead.
Sick across the board.
