You guys either have no clue of the damage you are causing or just don't care. They don't care. Many people have a criminal mind and have no respect for the well-being of other citizens.

DogOnPorch Posted February 10, 2022 Report Share Posted February 10, 2022 Seeing that it is across the country and now across the globe...the protest is pretty damn big. Enough to frighten all you fascists out there. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DogOnPorch Posted February 10, 2022 Report Share Posted February 10, 2022 And let's look at it this way: you've had two plus years to get all your fascist agenda done. How did it work out? Now let's see what this trucker movement looks like in about two years. Betcha you're a greasy stain on the ground...with truck tire treads crossing.

If you spent any time with a real-life conspiracy theorist, this a path that's hard to pull yourself out of. My best friend from highschool no longer speaks to his family (they can't handle him anymore) and frankly I can only stand him in small doses now. He sends me Qanon links and all sorts of other bullshit and I've spent way more time than I should trying to understand the nonsense he's following.

It is frightening for everyone. Cutting off the border could cause empty shelves and shortages of vital supplies like food and medicines. The protesters said at the beginning the mandates would cause shortages and empty shelves. Now they are blocking the borders which could really cause empty shelves. They are liars and crooks.

Aristides Posted February 10, 2022 Report Share Posted February 10, 2022 2 hours ago, suds said: I don't blame the truckers for doing what they're doing. I don't blame those living, or those owning businesses in the affected downtown areas, from being upset. So how about we end the vaccine mandate (at least for the truckers anyway) and get these guys (and gals) back on the highway and doing what they do best? 70% of US/Canada trade is hauled by truck which includes food and medical supplies. The problem is not the truckers, it's Trudeau. It's his job to do what's best for the country and not his reputation or the Liberal party. It doesn't matter what Trudeau does, the Americans have the same legislation. Unvaccinated Canadians cannot cross the border. FFS, when is that going to sink in.

Aristides Posted February 10, 2022 Report Share Posted February 10, 2022 2 hours ago, West said: Exactly the point. Just because a government enacts something doesn't mean it is lawful. As mentioned above, the government probably intentionally creates a slow court system. In this case it'll likely take several years to hear and make its way through the process. By that time the mandates will be dropped and will be considered mute. The damage done, however, will be long lasting. The legal system creates a slow court system, government has little to do with it other than not providing more judges and prosecutors. The damage done by these protests will be long lasting and very expensive, both to our economy and democracy. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

From what I could tell they were a one day rally. Is that incorrect? Not to split hairs but a climate rally has had years of planning available and really no expectation from them to leave that day. This truckers protest arised in weeks and under never seen before circumstances. I would fully expect some disorganization Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Michael Hardner Posted February 10, 2022 Report Share Posted February 10, 2022 Also this... https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Clayoquot_protests But this is different from those because the goals are less clear and the leadership is more disorganized and using rhetoric that challenges government itself. At least it seems like that. I have seen people at protests say crazy things mind you. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DogOnPorch Posted February 10, 2022 Report Share Posted February 10, 2022 There are few things in history to compare this to. One off protests? Please.... This is closer to a modern Wat Tyler Revolt It even has a plague! Will Trudeau have to resort to guile like Richard II had to?
