I'm outraged. Do you feel better now?
I was just about to be, but then I remembered that the anti-vaxxers said that an occasional individual with an offensive sign is not representative of the whole group. Thanks for clarifying that.

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

I don’t understand the signs. Why do we need to gas and kill the non vaccinated? Aren’t the antivax going to get Covid and die anyways? Just wait two weeks and the deadly cold virus will get them!

The leader with the megaphone was waving a commie flag. That would actually represent the group. The swastika guy never entered the protest and the couple confederate flags were chased off as they were also actors. And you know it.
Commies and nazis. Maybe they can have it out at a remote designated location and the rest of us can get back to normal.

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.
I'm sorry - did we just imagine this?
https://omny.fm/shows/580-cfra/ess-free ... to-have-co

Did you not read the "Memorandum of Understanding"?
https://www.netnewsledger.com/2022/02/0 ... rstanding/

Perhaps we imagined that too.
Apparently the "MOU" was withdrawn about a week ago. Myself, I found the document to be a little over the top, so I'll give you that. It was issued by Canada Unity, who from what I understand, is only one of many elements of the Freedom Convoy Movement. Once again, as I've mentioned above, I haven't personally seen any protester that advocates for our democratic structures to be undermined.

Feel free to check out their statement: https://canada-unity.com/mou/

Happy reading! :)

So they found out that Canadians didn't like the idea of insurrection, so it's all "sorry, we didn't mean it, and we didn't really understand what we wrote because we're not smart people" and now everyone is supposed to pretend it was never written?

Lame, beyond measure.

Yup. I've actually spent some time with the protesters.

Have you? You might enjoy some of the fun activities. Dance, music, good food, bouncy castles.

I think it's appropriate, and in honor of Seattles 2020 CHOP and CHAZ occupation, to use some branding initiative for the Coutts border situation.

COFF - Coutts Organization For Freedom

Thoughts?

Maybe you should have a look. You may find you are walking with the wrong crowd.

Perhaps the tard isn’t just with respect to a aviation, it may extend to other aspects of your abilities.
Just trying to help, you know.
“Walking with the wrong crowd. Only your news is fake, not ours. Only your censorship is bad, which is why I need to you shut up.

We don’t like facts, here.”

And of course, this is why the Russians love conservatives. They will believe absolutely anything.

After the downfall of western society has been completed.. future historians will absolutely marvel at how foreign funds and propaganda so easily (and cheaply) duped the far-right elements of the west into destroying the very society they claimed to be saving.

And ask yourself, why have the other counter protesters allowed them to stay?
So the views of the protest leaders matter now? Because a leader is a commie, they're all commie defenders?

Or is does that only apply to leftist protests?

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.
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.
You’re saying this ironically right?
Proof positive that our education system and media have been infiltrated and converted to an indoctrination system.
Read your second paragraph and explain how that isn’t indistinguishable from anything Castro or Che would have said during Cuba’s communist revolution.

Actually, I'd consider what tsgarp said to be more akin to the pretext of the American revolution. (But that's just me. I wont speak for him.) For you to take his comment as some form of communist manifesto is delusional.

Franco, Mussolini, Hitler. Better?

We live in a democratic society. We have elections where ideas are debated. We just had 1 5 months ago. This is nothing like the American revolution. The Cons and PPC ideas weren’t able to form government and now a minority is stomping their feet.

There's an interesting gentleman named Brian Peckford who's recently launched a legal action. Seems like a fairly level heading guy. Have you heard of him?

I haven’t. Link? Which charter right has been infringed upon? Also I wasn’t equating the fight for charter rights to fascism I was equating his speech to that of any communist or fascist leader.

Charter rights were introduced by the Constitution Act, 1982. They are created by statute and exist at the whim of Parliament. If you think your charter rights have been infringed, the only legitimate path to justice is through the courts.

Specifically, section 24(1) of the Constitution Act:
24 (1) Anyone whose rights or freedoms, as guaranteed by this Charter, have been infringed or denied may apply to a court of competent jurisdiction to obtain such remedy as the court considers appropriate and just in the circumstances.
That's all you're entitled to do. Once you go outside the legal system for some kind of remedy or remediation you've indicated your unwillingness to accept the system that grants you those rights in the first place and can no longer claim them.
