I understand supporting one cause more than another. That’s natural, and to be expected.

What I agree is disheartening, and I think that you are pretty close to agreeing with, is that people are basing their beliefs on who has the RIGHT to protest based on whether they agree with the cause or not. Or even worse, based on what they are told that they should think about the cause.

And yeah, I realize that this protest is in Canada and the ‘rights’ issue may seem different in a legal sense, but if we believe that our rights are God given, it doesn’t matter where the exercise or infringement of basic rights occur.
I think we all have the right to protest, but there are right ways and wrong ways to do it.

Sure, but I think that we can both agree that the ‘right way’ is dependent upon most people’s support or opposition to the issue at hand.

Ultimately any effective protest has to cause some sort of disruption, just like the current one in Ottawa. That’s not a condoning of destruction, though.

I feel like this one is a good example of how protesting should be conducted, minus the horns. Once they got settled in they should have just let their presence do the talking, in my opinion.

Does that change the description’s general accuracy? No.

I actually support the drivers exercising their rights to protest. I may disagree with their reasoning or some of what is claimed to be their causes, but fundamentally I believe that what they are doing is important.

What somewhat baffles me, though, is that most of the ‘supporters’ I’ve observed were the same people who were in fits of rage when protesters blocked roads in the past over causes that they didn’t agree with. Most thought that those protesters should be arrested for blocking traffic at best, that drivers should have been allowed to run over protesters without any criminal charges in most opinions.

The lack of consistent principles is fascinating.

Obviously this goes both ways. Doesn’t excuse the behavior but let’s not forget it’s prevalent regardless of which side you’re on. The lefties who love looting, vandalizing, violent protests and want the police defunded suddenly need them and want them to swarm peaceful protests because it’s not their agenda. The guys protesting now have always supported law enforcement and now the cops are being pressured by the liberals to fuck with them. Go figure.

Yeah, it’s confusing to most of us who try to be somewhere near the middle and base our opinions on principle.

As I said/inferred, I view the clogging of the roads by protesters the same, whether it is the trucks or the people on feet that we’ve seen in the past. Do you view them the same, or has your opinion changed because this protest is one that you agree with?
Slight difference between clogging a lane while maintaining a free one for emergency vehicles like in Ottawa than barricading train tracks and setting the barricade on fire while the train tried to get through.

It’s becoming the international poster boy on how to do it right. The fact that there has been so few issues considering the scale is something for Canadians to be proud of.

Meanwhile Ottawa has declared a state if emergency and the cops are cutting off supplies to the protesters. Essentially going to attempt to starve and freeze them out.

For all of the things they have been labelled which they are not, I guess maybe we are seeing that civil peaceful protests are ineffective and redundant. They may as well have been tearing the city down and terrorizing it’s citizens since the mainstream media has been portraying it that way anyways.

Another way to look at it APL is in my case , and my city.....those opposite side protesters were attacking people right and left , fire bombing police stations , attacking police , burning , looting and even murdering.

There is a huge difference between how both sides " protest ". One is actually a protest.....the other ones are full on riots.

Do you see any conservative / right leaning protests doing anything like what the liberal / left do as far as what I mentioned?

2 convoy members tried to burn down an apartment complex with tenants trapped inside last night. Caught on video. Tenants had had arguments with protesters during the day.

This is direct from the source, no media bias, Ottawa police are in the replies trying to get the poster to contact them.

It’s a string of tweets so I used an app to compile them.

Convoy members? That’s a bold assumption. As irresponsible as the media has been, even they are not reporting this.

This is a great example of seeing things as two ‘sides’, and really only two sides.

The vast majority of people who I think could be described as liberal/left/Democrat don’t support any of the violent riots that mostly are actions by fringe agitators trying to take advantage of chaotic events. Yet those things are somehow painted as things that the ‘left’ supports…..

To be consistent, are you willing to agree that ‘your’ side is automatically guilty of all events done by right wing associated people? Are all right wingers/conservatives/Republicans supporters of the actions of Timothy McVeigh? How about the right winger who killed 23 at the Walmart in El Paso, or the other right winger who murdered those at the Pittsburgh synagogue? Are we to assign the homegrown terrorism tactics adopted by so many fringe right wingers as supported by anyone and everyone who is right of center?

Personally I don’t think that is a good idea, just as saying the violent tactics of the fringe elements like antifa is supported by anyone and everyone left of center.

Anonymous is using DDOS attacks to take down the GiveSendGo website. They were taking donations for the convoy in the wake of the GoFundMe getting taken away.

So much for that money.

Doesn’t matter anyway. Police are confiscating their fuel and stopping new fuel from coming in. Last I saw over 450 tickets and 97 criminal investigations so far. This thing is over in Ottawa.

I'm curious how many people have come to the conclusion that this is all intentionally created by the Federal Government? and of course, pushed in any state that holds the D symbol?

George Floyd was the reason for the protests, right? An eight-time felon who was high on fentanyl when he was pulled over. He died due to Fentanyl and an incompetent cop! There was NO RACISM! Non proven! No facebook posts! NOTHING! Just media aholes lying their ass off!

How does anyone think the freedom convoys are the same as the Floyd protests?

How is this not plain as day?

THE US GOVERNMENT stopped you from living, working, worshipping, EVERYTHING!

BUT WHEN THAT POS FAUCI was asked in a Senate hearing if "rioting" should be allowed during a "pandemic" he said verbatim "it is your right"

The division is intentional! The Government supports Antifa/BLM and the rest!

We need to speak out and denounce such acts, or else we’re guilty by association. Unless I wasn’t paying attention, I did not see/hear anyone left, or the left media, denouncing the rioting/looting/destruction in recent history, so it’s easy to see why the other side would assume that the left was generally on board with the attention that it was creating. Seattle let them occupy part of the city for months as an anarchy no-police zone until that self-destructed.

We all need to keep ourselves in check. The government and the media is just pouring fuel on the division fire and society seems to be loving every second of it because it’s my tribe vs your tribe. This isn’t going to end well.

This thing isn’t over, that’s wishful thinking on your part. This thing is just a first peaceful attempt that so far is not getting taken seriously by the people that need to read the tea leaves here. Those people in Ottawa have been showing an amazing amount of restraint. We’re all watching and our patience is limited.

Considering the fact that their memorandum of understanding involved creating a new government that included themselves, the senate and the Governor General it was likely going to end this way. They wanted to cut the House of Commons out completely. For the Americans on here, senate seats, and the Governor General, are appointed, while those in the House of Commons are elected. This thing has been going on for over 2 years now, we had an election 5 months ago. You can’t just unseat a democratically elected government because you don’t like them.

They also wanted to use this new government of theirs to force every province to end all public health measures against COVID. Essentially making provincial governments puppets.

It’s all outlined in their own words on their own website.

The normal people have left. The ratio of extremists to regular protesters is a lot higher than it was before.

The other thing I’d like to point out is that the BLM riots you guys keep referring to were in the states. The Canadian demonstrations were much more relaxed and way less destructive. It was essentially marches in solidarity across the country. What happening in Ottawa now is a blockade.

As for me, I’m glad they’re leaving. This whole thing is just annoying as hell at this point. It won’t be allowed to happen again. Ottawa was taken by surprise. Vancouver and Toronto were both able to disperse the protesters before they were able to dig in.

Where do you come up with this stuff? You speak as though you are there in Ottawa, making claims like the normal people have gone home and just the kooks are still hanging out.

Ottawa was taken by surprise? Huh? Please explain, I really want to hear that one. They couldn’t have been given more notice for what was coming. I think when you make a statement like this it is difficult to take anything that you say seriously.

They expected a protest, they clearly didn’t take it seriously enough. You honestly think if they try this again the host city won’t be better prepared than this time? The cops did dick all for the first 3 or 4 days dude.

I do notice your lack of comment on how they’re essentially there to take control of the government. Again, this comes directly from their MOU on their website.

I’m not here to comment on everything that you type, that would be a waste of time. You make certain points that I feel compelled to address, I’ll choose what those are, not you.

I’m sorry that you are annoyed by the protest. I’m annoyed by the fact that I was forced to get a vaccine that I did not want or need to be able to keep my job and not go into financial ruin. You have no idea how that felt, I do though, and I will never allow that to happen again, and you can mark my words. This annoying protest is to stop people from feeling dehumanized. Sorry it’s a minor inconvenience for you, but sometimes life isn’t fair. You can’t always have your cake and eat it too.

This issue is personal for me, but it doesn’t have to be, I felt very strongly about it well before it personally effected me. That was just the wake-up call that I needed.

You and I are not the same. I’m ready to drop everything to fight for my fellow Canadians who are being mistreated because I have been pushed to the breaking point and you want to slash my tires and throw eggs at me because people like me are a minor inconvenience to you, and we annoy you, even though you need people like us. You’ll never understand why, and you won’t have to, because we will fight to keep the whole country from going to shit, including you. God help you if we lose because there is no future where we are currently headed.

This issue is personal for me, but it doesn’t have to be, I felt very strongly about it well before it personally effected me. That was just the wake-up call that I needed.

You and I are not the same. I’m ready to drop everything to fight for my fellow Canadians who are being mistreated because I have been pushed to the breaking point and you want to slash my tires and throw eggs at me because people like me are a minor inconvenience to you, and we annoy you, even though you need people like us. You’ll never understand why, and you won’t have to, because we will fight to keep the whole country from going to shit, including you. God help you if we lose because there is no future where we are currently headed.
A minor annoyance? No, it’s annoying hearing about it, it’s torture for the people of Ottawa.

These truckers have held an entire city hostage for a week. Not only that, the noise levels from those air horns have been at over 90db the entire time. 6 hours at 85db is enough to cause permanent hearing damage.

Vaccine mandates have been around for centuries man. Smallpox, polio, measles, ringing any bells?

You think the vaccines were better in the 1800s? People still got them and now those diseases aren’t part of our lives anymore. Neat huh!

The fact you refuse to address the fact that this isn’t a peaceful protest and is in fact an attempt to usurp a democratically elected government tells me a lot about you.

I’m not here to comment on everything that you type, that would be a waste of time. You make certain points that I feel compelled to address, I’ll choose what those are, not you.

I’m sorry that you are annoyed by the protest. I’m annoyed by the fact that I was forced to get a vaccine that I did not want or need to be able to keep my job and not go into financial ruin.

Your comments tell us all we need to know about you. We know where you stand. Maybe you should get up and go protest instead of talking shit here.

Easiest way to continue the protest is to leave….and not to deliver one single commodity to Ottawa.

From the honkening to the ghosting. I think the gambino crime family and the mob could of controlled this better. governments are just mobs anymore. Stealing fuel threatening people with tickets. Mob woulda just threatened with baseball bat to the knees. Essentially the same thing with police officers running around ticketing fuelers, stealing fuel and walking around armed to the hilt. Funny police can have the weapons of war on ottowa but if one trucker had one in his truck…terrorist. What’s the govt need those weapons for ?

Govt over reach needs to take a backseat.

There are a lot of freedom supporters in Ottowa that would be hurt by that.
