Truckers convoy

[rookiepilot]

I'm now not allowed to criticize the media that MY tax dollars support? Gonna freeze my bank accounts?

And where are the words of concern from Trudeau or Singh?

So you’ve decided to replace your over the top bullshit stream with ever more fantastic hyperbole. You can criticize all you want but when you post blatant falsehoods you can expect to get called on it. This really doesn’t help whatever case you’re trying to make. You just look foolish.

I’m just blowing off steam, at the end of the day Relax. Its good sport mocking the media. So much material.

One of CBC’s senior producers even left recently, they have gone so far off one end of the pool. Its a editorial site now.

Tara Henley: Why I quit the CBC
'To work at the CBC in the current climate is to embrace cognitive dissonance and to abandon journalistic integrity'

So now that this is ending….hopefully! A question:

From the CBC and politicians, we have seen countless anecdotal comments on the violence committed by the Ottawa protestors— assaults, hate crimes, attacks.

77 people have been arrested, I have seen on the news today.

How many have been charged with a violent crime?

From what I heard earlier, the number is Zero.

Oh yeah:

No arrests at all from the violent BC incident. Cause like the church burnings, thats cool —-

Errrrr….. Because it’s Canada and not North Korea!? As some yahoo seems to imply here?

Lots of violent acts don’t result in arrest. Doesn’t mean they didn’t happen.

This will be the lasting image of The Regimes actions. A disabled woman in a Walker being trampled for the crime of speaking out.

Whataboutism:
Imagine for a moment this was someone on the intersectional hierarchy during a church burning outing, or a BLMantifa riot, or a indigenous/native led destruction of public property day.

Will we see Emperor Justin Trudeau tearfully apologize to the disabled community for this atrocity?

 “Atrocity” *yawn* she had plenty of notice to get the f’ out of dodge.

I might not be a fan of the current elected government but I don’t think it right that the fringe minority use derogatory terms to describe the PM. -Speaking of which why should he feel the need to apologize to a protester engaged in an unlawful protest AFTER being asked to leave peacefully?

When Black Lives Matter or other liberal protest groups block a road for an evening, there is no shortage of calls for violence. Right-wing legislators hastily pass laws that would make it legal to run overprotesters, and conservative pundits flood the airwaves and social media to decry the unspeakable horror of holding up traffic for a few hours.

But now that a very loud but ultimately small group of white people in Canada have disrupted the flow of goods and people for weeks, their tone is, predictably, different. Black people and their allies protesting police brutality is an affront to the American project. But fighting for the liberty to contract an infectious disease and give it to your neighbor? That’s called freedom, baby.

Wow you lefties are quite the compassionate bunch. That’s like you running over a kid with your car and saying meh, I slowed down and honked, they had plenty of time to get off the road. Kid had no right to be in the middle of the road anyway.

[SRV]

It’s no coincidence that the BLM protests — large and diverse in nature — are treated differently than a small minority of white people protesting public health measures. The protests, which have altered significant parts of daily Canadian life, are providing American conservatives a taste of what they’ve been dreaming of for so long: white minority rule.

Conservative news media and other supporters of the Canadian truckers have made it a point to prioritize the feelings and wants of a perpetually aggrieved white minority who believe their so-called freedoms are more important than the health and livelihood of the majority of Canadians.

[SRV]

Conservative American pundits are dead wrong about what kind of demonstrations these are. Far from a working-class revolt, these truckers have gotten millions of dollars from wealthy outside donors in the U.S. and Canada, according to leaked data from the GiveSendGo crowdfunding platform. And they’re not a representative group: 90% of Canadian truckers are vaccinated, and labor unions and industry groups representing truck drivers have strongly condemned the protests.

[SRV]

After the people in power got away with inciting an insurrection, a similar truck blockade on this side of the border doesn’t seem all that far-fetched.

The goal has always been to put white, Christian men in power while the rest of us languish in the margins. Their full-throated support of the Canadian trucker convoy is another reminder that they will do anything and support anyone in the pursuit of their goal of white minority rule.

Even burning the whole thing down.

Yes if that kid and thousands of others had occupied a city for weeks, were given days of notice to leave, and it wasn’t a car but a horse, and not a kid but an adult it’s exactly like that.

[SRV]

Big caps and bold intended for old, white, protestant males with bad eyesight.

Wow…..ok then.

So like when Trudeau kicked a high profile, non- white leader from his caucus?

Personal attacks and 'I am the victim' rhetoric are the typical way the maga radicals play if they are facing mass defeat by the authorities. The law will now always prevail.

I commend all those Canadians who have endured the abusive sacking of your beautiful city by the anarchists. I can assure you once the refuse and biological discharges are cleaned up things will be built back better. We will happily support your city's restructuring with aid and assistance. The insurrection like blocking of the boarders, which ironically prevents parts and service equipment to be available for the maintenance of many of these rigs, is a clear sign of the extremes these, well, extremists will go to hold on. Violence boundaries are be tested and measured by the leaders and organizers of these radical groups. The move to take control by emergency measures has saved dozens if not hundreds of lives and prevented losses in the billions.

An excellent job by the coalition of perfect leadership and the understanding that control rests with the democracy not the altered reality mockery by the radicals and their support groups.

[Barn-stormer]

I would encourage all the Truckers to come and work in the US. We need you and it looks like Canada does not want you.

Check out the top stories on the CBC BC page.

Not the attack on Coastal Gas site. Just saying…..its gotten silly with our public broadcaster, considering the Ottawa coverage…..

I couldn’t imagine working at the CBC. I grew up watching and trusting them. So sad.

Reasonable people in all of this, whatever your leanings, should question why, in polls, Canadians trust in both media and their own government is at rock bottom levels.

This isn’t a good thing for our country. I have pleaded with my MP to impress the importance of the government lowering the temperature and bringing peace. I was totally non partisan when I reached out.

Sadly to no effect. His attack on a Jewish MP, a conservative child of holocaust survivors, was beyond the pale, and (virtually) ignored by the CBC of course.

He knows she is Jewish. It was just mean at a time when this doesn’t help.

We have a nasty, mean person as PM.

Yeah...the prime minister walks with BLM protests. Very different.

Fake liar.

Meanwhile, the truck drivers are abandoning the downtown with their tail between their legs leaving their supporters to get arrested.

By the way, the live video. The flags are hardly moving yet winds gusting to 30 knots at the airport. Maybe a significant delay.

Is there any possibility there are large structures that might block the wind in some directions, as opposed to an AWOS installation which is normally located in an unobstructed area?

[SRV]

Black Lives Matter (BLM) is a decentralized political and social movement that seeks to highlight racism, discrimination, and inequality experienced by black people. When its supporters come together, they do so primarily to protest incidents of police brutality and racially motivated violence against black people.

They must be doing an very good job at it but I will have to accept that.

Wind appears to have picked up downtown at 11:10 local time. Picked up at 10:25 local according to the YOW Metar. Who knows. But there is an emergencies act and there may be an order made for the news stations to intentionally delay but say Live in order to cause difficulty to outsiders trying to communicate adversarial tactics with people on their cell phones.

[SRV]

The threat is not that big. A very small group with a shrinking movement.

A Sacramento County, California supervisor says she didn’t mean to rub shoulders with members of the Proud Boys when she joined a Telegram channel to help plan a potential far-right truck convoy.

Sue Frost, one of the county’s five supervisors, came under fire this week after an area Twitter-user spotted her in a series of fringe Telegram channels, including a channel run and moderated by self-described Proud Boys who had previously used Telegram to encourage the murders of Jews and “race war now.”

Wait till you hear about the moon landings. Your head will explode.
