I think I have the intelligence to recognize sarcasm. But it would be fun to hear you explain how it wasn't. 

The truckers chased their uninvited Nazi flag guy away.

If they had said, "Thank you for coming, sir".....would you have recognized  it as sarcasm?

I doubt it.

I think that the Liberal Party of Canada should be sued for false advertising.  There’s nothing liberal about the Liberal Party.  That word comes from the French Revolution idea of laissez faire.  It’s the idea that government should not dictate the particulars of one’s life or limit freedoms except where absolutely necessary.  It’s the old Rousseau idea that “Man is born free yet is everywhere in chains.” Vaccination passports to enjoy basic freedoms, restrictions on movement, mandatory face coverings, and other extreme state controls over human behaviour must bear a high threshold of justification to prevent tyranny.

Canada hasn’t been occupied like Denmark.  We didn’t have to have a revolution to gain our freedoms (the Americans did and the Brits had to provide greater freedoms to attract Loyalists).  The history of democracy is one of continuous struggle for rights and freedoms.  We must never slide back into tyranny.  Freedoms are easily removed if we don’t demand their protection.  Protect our Charter rights!

Poor guy. Seems he ran into a couple people who are camera shy. Was he hurt? Was his phone broken?

Is this the extent of the "violence" of these bad ol' truckers?

Lol...a wet noodle and his phone get pushed by what sounds like, a couple agitated Quebecois.

Oh well...

In case you didn't know it, it is illegal to grab people, push them around, or physically force them out of a public park.  It is considered as assault.  He could have laid charges but chose not to, probably because of the hassle involved.  These are thugs who have taken  over downtown and parks and you support that kind of thing.  Supporting illegal behavior is a sign of a problem that needs to be dealt with.

There were lots of Nazi flag guys. I saw several myself with swastikas over the maple leaf as they passed through town. Nobody seemed to be chasing them at all.

You're actually going to pretend you don't think he was being sarcastic? But you're not going to elaborate on how you perceive that to be the case? Why do you think he thanked him? Please express your worldview more clearly.

Nobody has freedom to spread Covid to other people.  That's what the health restrictions and mandates are all about.  If you can't agree with the basic premise that freedom has it's limitations maybe you should be living in Alabama or some southern state that more closely aligns with your idea of freedom.  Lots of them hate government, don't trust any authority, and think they should be able to spread Covid to anybody.

And yet...no arrests.

Oh and now it seems this nerdy professor is in the habit of agitating. 

The poor nerd...

Well Hobbes’ Leviathan needs to be constrained to prevent despotism.  Trudeau is an unconstrained despot.

true

but Rousseau hates constraints on government

and thinks an unrestrained Leviathan will usher in utopia

as long as the "right" people are in charge of Leviathan

hence the French Revolution going so badly and being extremely illiberal

I would have expected him to do whatever you think the truckers should do with uninvited Nazi flag guys.

If that was in anyway true then EVERYONE would have the same restrictions since EVERYONE can spread it.

Don't tell me you're another science denier.

you're the science denier

the mandates have nothing to do with science

that's just the pitch to sell to the rubes who don't know science

but want to be seen as pro-science while those who disagree with them are condemned as anti-science to make the rubes feel smarter

You’re talking about enslavement of the population to satisfy the selfishness of hypochondriacs who have unprecedented ample protections: vaccination, masking, antiviral treatment…No, you don’t get to shit all over our Charter rights.  We’ve endured two years of lockdowns and restrictions.  Mental health and businesses destroyed.  Education badly compromised.  Families kept apart.   It’s insane.  If it was ever warranted it most certainly no longer is.  90% of our population is vaccinated.  People have lost jobs because of mandates.

People must accept state-dictated healthcare and show proof to access basic freedoms.  No no no!!!!!!!
