Twenty years from now you'll be more disappointed by the things you didn't do than by the things you did do.

Re: Fundamentally they have liberal values, that’s my guess. I would vote liberal if they had what I believe are true liberal values. For now my ballot is only good for one thing and that is to wipe my ass because all of our options look like smeared shit.

The Vets Reclaim Sacred Ground on the HILL


Just found out about this today.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=noH_tjzFKMQ


https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BLwbo4k4NLw


They physically put the Unknown Soldier in lock-down.

Locked the most sacred site in Canada for Freedom behind a fence.

IN JAIL FFS






TO:

Prime Minister - Justin Trudeau - (No military service)
Minister of Defense - Anita Anand - (No military service)
Premier of Ontario - Doug Ford - (No military service)
Mayor of Ottawa - Jim Watson - (No military service)
Ottawa Police Chief - Peter Sloly - (No military service)

THIS WAS DONE ON YOUR WATCH

YOU ALL NEED TO RESIGN YOUR POSITIONS IMMEDIATELY AND APOLOGIZE TO ALL CANADIANS




TO: THE VETS (HONOUR GUARDS)

THANK YOU - FOR ONCE AGAIN STEPPING UP TO THE PLATE AND STANDING ON GUARD FOR OUR FREEDOMS.

YOU WILL NOT BE FORGOTTEN!!!!


(The above useless waste of oxygen, will try to weasel their way out of this with some BS about keeping this site safe - just like they give us the BS about keeping all of us safe. Remember: The road to hell is paved with good intentions, the freeways to hell are paved by politicians opening their mouths)!)

Lol. Something we can certainly agree on. You've described every Liberal voter as either a freeloader, gullible (stupid), emotionally needy (also stupid) or irresponsible (yup, stupid again).

So Liberal voters of the forum, which one are you? :lol:
I strongly believe in accepting the harsh truth, which means accepting realities that one would prefer not to accept.

To say Liberal voters are stupid is extremely simplistic and frequently wrong. Many of them are very intelligent. Doctors, lawyers, pilots, etc.

But being able to get a high mark on your Mensa test doesn’t mean that you use logical reasoning to decide what your opinion is on something.

Intelligence and logic/common sense can be completely independent of each other.

That is why we have intelligent people support ideas like defunding the police. How incredibly stupid has that proven to have been, yet completely obvious.

Once you realize that a lot of very smart people have very stupid ideas, it goes a long way to explaining things about humans.

It seems to me, if this sort of disunity continues and Conservative leaning parties clamour to gain power they will ultimately usher in a new era of Fascism; but rather than the more classical European variant of yesteryear it will be one born more of the theocratic bent of many of these self proclaimed individualists and "freedom fighters". Woe betide those fools whom think that they're ushering in an era of freedom and individuality, because they'll be sorely disappointed.

As Robert O. Paxton wrote:
...Fascist contempt for the soft, complacent, compromising centre was absolute (though fascist parties actively seeking power would need to make common cause with centrist elites, against their common enemies on the Left). Their scorn for liberal parliamentarianism and for slack bourgeois individualism, and the radical tone of their remedies for national weakness and disunity, always jarred with their readiness to conclude political alliances with national conservatives against the internationalist Left....

“There is a LIGHT in this world.

A healing spirit more powerful than any darkness we may encounter.

We sometime lose sight of this force when there is suffering, and too much pain.

Then suddenly, the spirit will emerge through the lives of ordinary people who hear a call and answer in extraordinary ways.”

― Richard Attenborough



Stay safe out there.

The woke left has already brought us to a state of fascism. Currently those who express opinions to far divergent from the approved narrative are cancelled. The government’s proposed internet control bill aims to punish those who express unapproved ideas. Swarms of neo-brown shirts (BLM and ANTIFA) are burning buildings and killing people.

The average working class population has watched a fringe of privileged, unproductive and insulated academics transform society into something toxic and unsustainable by pushing divisive narratives based on envy and hate. The average working class individual hasn’t acted before now because they were too busy and the media has gaslit them into think that they were alone in their beliefs. The Convoy Movement is a result of the average person’s frustration reaching a critical mass combined with a sudden awareness that they are far from isolated in their opinions. What we are seeing is the beginnings of the removal of fringe academics from the control of government and a return of political control to the actual productive core of society.

Looks like the counter-protesters have more people than the convoy. And they don't cause mass economic damage or fill up ICU's at nearly the same rate.

Looks like a huge amount of people are tired of the freedom convoy!

Not sure exactly what they are fighting for? Are they anti protest? Anti freedom? Do they want to keep Covid restrictions?

Nice to see so many passionate people out there!

I got a good laugh out of some of the retweets:

"Anybody know what time Ottawa Police start serving Super Bowl wings and nachos to the occupiers tomorrow?"

"I think when I finally retire I’d like to get a part-time job that’s not too demanding and pays okay but I can’t decide whether to join the Ottawa Police or become Premier."

"Insights from my nine-year-old: “They’re protesting for freedom but there was more freedom when they weren’t protesting.”"

The stance they've taken, was originally the end to vaccine mandates for cross border truckers - which isn't going to happen, as discussed because it's a bilateral mandate between Canada/US. Now their views, if you can call them that, have morphed into some sort of hodgepodge of ending all restrictions they disagree with and the removal of every democratically elected government of each Province/Territory as well as Federally. That's sedition, plain and simple.
Well, I guess you have every right to live in your own alternate reality, I suppose. Nobody will stop you. However, you can't force anyone else to live in your delusion. But then again one has to wonder, are you using the time-tested Liberal tactic of gaslighting? Can anyone say "fear tactics"?

As we can all see, and it's been heavily documented through social media etc. is that from the very beginning not only were the Truckers protesting the cross border restrictions, but all mandates. Straight forward and simple. "Drop all mandates, and we go home". It's so simple that even your average Liberal could understand the message.

As for the "sedition" aspect, although I admit there seems to be some sentiment that supports the removal of la petite pomme de terre as our PM, I personally haven't seen any protester (other than Antifa) advocate for the wholesale removal of the democratic structure or the disintegration of government. Nice try though.

Next time I see a striking teacher or eco-zealot chant the super-duper effective and time tested "Hey hey....ho ho....(insert name here) has got to go. Hey hey...." I'll be sure to scream :smt013 "That's sedition!!! They want to overthrow the Government! They hate democracy!" :lol:

Methinks 7ECA is using the time honored tactic of "Accuse the other side of that which you are guilty". Classic gaslighting technique.

Scratch a (fair amount of) liberal(s), and find a fascist.

What's really interesting, and also amazing, is that these protesters are not your typical professional protester that we see in your usual BLM, climate change, or SJW protest (and sometimes riot). These Truckers and their supporters have most likely never before taken part in a "protest". They're just everyday average grassroots people who want to be left alone to carry on with their lives so they can support their families in peace. When you see that level of discontent from that segment of society........you know the Government has seriously f*#@%d something up.

This morning when I was driving to work I spilled my coffee and it made a big stain on my pants. At first I thought I was just clumsy but thanks to you I realize that it was just Antifa again.

So glad I can now blame Antifa for anything I dream up. Thanks Impact!
