Ismo07, you were saying this convoy would do nothing... It has caused the opposition leader to smell the winds of change and to try to save his but!

It will not change policy...  Won't effect mandates..  Will politicians take advantage of it?  Sure, of course... 

 

Trudeau overstepped there with his musings on the convoy. It felt unscripted and rushed, and we got an inside look into his persona.

 

Parse it out, what did he actually say...  Put on a neutral cap...

[Ismo07]

here is what he said. https://www.youtube....fMybczw1k&t=59s

 

Yeah he doesn't mean the entire convoy... At least it doesn't sound like that to me...  "the small fringe minority of people heading to Ottawa"...

Those two statements are at total odds with each other.... 

[vortoozo]

Which?

Lol.  70% of Rogan's non-MMA guest are leftists too.

 

Donald Trump, Chris Wallace, Chris Christie, John Bolton, Jeb Bush ...

That is your opinion which you certainly feel you have the right to express. Right? But you seem to feel that no one has the right to express a different one? 

 

Spreading false information about covid-19 and covid-19 vaccines is not an "opinion". It's a deliberate lie. And one that has a dangerous impact on society.

[vortoozo]

We all have had enough. The way out isn't censorship and compliance with a single solution offered by mega corporations with criminal records that have no responsibility or liability for their solution. I respect your bravery stepping up as an anti-choicer though.

 

I'm not "anti-choice".

I'm pro science.

I'm against misinformation.

I don't appreciate narratives that encourage people to partake or not partake in activities that can harm others.

That doesn't make me "anti-choice".

So…

If our stores don’t shut down, and you can still buy everything you need at the ol’ Country Grocer, doesn’t that sort of negate the claims that without these truckers crossing the border our supply chains will grind to a halt?

Or maybe this convoy is also delivering stuff from the Port of Vancouver

 

It's quite clear that this protest isn't about the border. At least, that's what the convoy supporters keep saying.

That's what makes it confusing. Are they really trying to protest provincial mandates such as vaccine passports? Why go to Ottawa then?

You think the Libs will plant people in the crowd to insight the calm...?  The excuse was used down south about a year ago....  That's not happening and the suggestion is hilarious.

 

This is an incredibly naive thing to say, are you being serious?

A letter from a trucker in our convoy in Canada...

 

Hello everyone. We made it to Thunder Bay today. I have a hard time finding words to express the momentum on this convoy. The convoy is 100kms long and growing all the time. The support people have is overwhelming. Coming into Winnipeg yesterday was pretty emotional the com radios went pretty quiet because no one could find words to express what we felt. There was people packed on the shoulders of the streets. Cars parked and people for miles and miles on the ring road around the city. The horns never stopped honking! On the four lane going out of Winnipeg. We thought it was hammer down time but ended up driving 5 to 20 km/hr for hrs and hrs. People had camp fires going in the ditches, fire works, a sprayer with booms out with big Thank you! Signs on the booms. Crane trucks with the booms up with signs, lights flashing, and flags. The shoulders of the four lane packed with people and cars. Overpasses packed with people. Tons of families little kids all bundled up. Everyone was jumping, dancing, waving signs, flags, and flash lights. All in -30. Seeing how happy kids are, their smiles makes you a little emotional at times. This is how Canada is suppose to be. This morning going into Ontario, the support is amazing. The laneways, cross roads, little towns same things happening. Contantly speeding up and slowing for groups of people. I feel like I am cheating with adaptive cruise . When we came to Thunder Bay they had a big area plowed Off. Tents put up, big fires and a insane amount of food. Beef on the bun, spaghetti, sandwiches, coffee, donuts and you name it. They brought pallets of windshield washer fluid for everyone. Very humbling how kind everyone is. This is what freedom feels like. I felt normal for once not alone like the last two years. Thanks for all the support it is much appreciated!! Well I hitting the hay. Cheers. Thanks

Loved the Elon tweet. Isn’t he trying to put these guys out of work?

Yes, like gas jockeys, telephone operators, horse and buggy makers, elevator operators.  

 

It's good to get rid of low-level jobs.

Large number of donations to protest convoy came from aliases, unnamed donors  

 

At least a third of the donations to the GoFundMe campaign set up to support the convoy of trucks headed to Ottawa to protest vaccine mandates came from anonymous sources or were attributed to fake names, according to an analysis by CBC News.

While thousands of Canadians and Canadian businesses have dipped into their pockets to fund the cause, thousands of other donors to the campaign are listed simply as "Anonymous." As of 6:30 p.m. ET Thursday, six of the top 10 donations, all over $10,000, were listed as anonymous, including the single largest donation of $25,022.

While the campaign is fundraising for a Canadian political protest, some donations appear to have come from outside of Canada, based on comments left by donors on GoFundMe.

Some donations were made using the names of other people. Among the most common donor names listed on the GoFundMe site are Justin Trudeau, Sophie Trudeau and Theresa Tam — the name of Canada's chief public health officer. On Thursday afternoon, a $25,023 donation was listed as coming from Sophie Grégoire. It disappeared minutes later. Officials in the Prime Minister's Office and Tam's office confirmed that neither the Trudeaus nor Tam donated to the convoy's fundraising campaign.

Other listed donors identified themselves as "Fidel Castro - Justin Trudeau's dad," "Justin Trudeau's conscience," "Dump Trudeau" or used a number of other phrases laden with obscenities.

Donations to the convoy have been growing rapidly. By 6:30 p.m Thursday, the campaign had raised $6.4 million from 82,500 donors.

Questions have been raised about the destination of the money, particularly since some of the organizers have been involved in politics.

GoFundMe — which gets a percentage of all the money donated — delayed disbursement of the funds earlier this week, saying it wanted to know more about how the money was going to be used. It announced Thursday that it would begin releasing money after the organizers of the fundraising campaign provided a distribution plan for the funds.

Headlines: Businesses weigh options as convoy set to roll into Ottawa

Some rolling out the welcome mat, others consider closing amid demonstrations expected this weekend





Then when you read the article, there is no mention of a single business closing.

TC editorial:

 

 

 

Social distancing, self isolating, school closures, prohibitions on visiting loved ones in hospitals and long-term care facilities, have torn at the fabric of daily life.

 

Surgeries and diagnostic procedures have been cancelled, church services closed, travel constrained. Couples planning their marriage are told how many guests they may have.

 

Uncounted small businesses have been shuttered and whole sectors of the economy disrupted.

 

And with large numbers of employees staying home, global supply chains have been weakened and in some cases, almost destroyed.

Second, we should be told now how efforts to ­control the virus will be scaled back in the days ahead. For it’s clear we cannot sustain indefinitely such constraints on daily life. The damage is too great.

 

In effect, we’re going to have to live with COVID, as we live with the common cold and flu. That means a more balanced approach, placing disease control in its proper place, as only one of many priorities guiding public policy.

You mean what anonymous posters who proport to be associated with the convoy but are really Liberal instigators?!

 

The Public Safety Minister is suggesting that  supporters of the convoy may attempt to overthrow the Government. https://globalnews.c...protest-police/

 

And you folks thought I was being silly suggesting that the Libs would organize to discredit the movement!
