Get some mental counseling.  Probably covered on your BC Medical Plan.

The veterans and many active members of our military and police forces know that all of this is happening, even if they can’t articulate it.  Only some are willing to risk speaking out, because people have families to feed and bills to pay.

that's right

I don't have kids, my wife is more than capable of taking care of herself, and I'm over fifty

so I am expendable downrange

tho I still pass on the stand to all my brothers

you can't save your kids if Canada descends further into this totalitarian dystopia

they are coming for everyone's kids now

  I believe we’re in a very real spiritual battle that does threaten the innate desire and need for freedom in all of us.

Saul becomes Paul on the road to Damascus

rejoice at the coming of the angel of death

not the end, simply the end of the beginning

soul making machines

praise the Lord

Well, it a good thing this serious "existential threat" to Canada's economy has been dealt with and auto parts can more easily flow again.   We don't know how much longer Canada could have survived !

Yes we're all glad that our fascist overlords have stepped in to restore order.

Yes.  Ontario Mohawk protesters now have a benchmark for what the government will tolerate in terms of blockades and it's a lot.

God save the Queen & Her Mohawk warriors

join us, Mohawks

I stood against them in 1990

I repent for that evil I did then

forgive me, Mohawks, I was just a boy

[Dougie93]

it's never too late to come to Jesus

Saul of Tarsus becomes Paul the Apostle

even if you don't believe in God, think it is just a metaphor

that metaphor comports with objective reality

even if you have opposed us, even if you have called for the army to crush us, our own brothers turned against us

we forgive you

join us, whenever you see the light

I believe we’re in a battle for human dignity against totalitarianism.  Harari called it digital totalitarianism, humans versus algorithms.

Digital vaccine passports and government-mandated behavioural controls, supported by surveillance and the turning of government over to unelected data analysts is our living proof.  Each day we watch the statistics and strive for impossible public health purity.  Impurity becomes the justification for endless suspension of rights and oppression.

Brian Reynolds and crew saw it coming way back in 1999. Eerily prescient. Vaporizing vandals much as many would want to vaporize those blockading.

It also ties in what you said about freedom and God as this video is narrated by a fictional fundamentalist. Purity and order (the AI) has become our God, supplanting our natural spirituality.

I feel like I may have seen something exactly like this at an Ontario College of Art final presentation around 1979.  The idea that something like this would be considered as a valid post on a political discussion board is itself fodder for a term paper.

Such a wide range of programs could cover it too.  Political science, obviously, but certainly psychology as well.  Philosophy professors would pick apart this dead-carcass reasoning too.

The people are exhausted, depressed, mentally and social-emotionally damaged.

We’ve forgotten what normal healthy behaviour is. Families and friends are alienated from one another. Education is a shadow of its former self..

do not despair, brother

the truckers have restored even my faith in Canada

even the Maple Leaf flag

no longer the Liberal Party of Canada flag, the truckers have taken it back

when you get to the protest, you find the Canada of your youth there, it is Canada as we remembered it

glorious

Well you have 2/3rd of Canadians who would like to see him use the military on his own people even if only 1/3 support him. So it's an interesting situation for an aspiring dictator. Can he gain more support by literally coming in with tanks? If his pollsters say yes...look out.

Thank you for your service, Andrew — Smitty, I should say.  Canada is in a very dangerous place right now, so it means a lot that you’re speaking out.

Bring in the tanks to clear out the bouncy castles eh.

Ford at least seems to be waking up.  This should further isolate Trudeau.

Canada was not shut down by the protests...there is far more economic impact from Covid restrictions...for almost two years !

Nobody said Canada was shut down.  But blockades caused a huge loss of jobs, income, business in trade and have to be dealt with.  Hundreds of thousands of innocent people suffer for nothing.   Blockades are not legal and are not democratic protests.  They are anarchy.  Trumpsters should stay in their own country and not invade Canada with their criminals.
