And I still can't get over a nazi flag.on the hill and not seeing any stories of protesters.taking it down by force

This part is disgusting.

 

Some of these truckers look tough AF.

 

Go over there and tell the people with these types of flags to put them away. You cant stand beside a Nazi, even a very small percentage. It takes away from what they tell us the protest is about, in a massive way.

 

The alt right is over shadowing this. It's not a god look and will continue to turn the stomachs of Canadians watching on.

Here's a closer look. There are a couple bad apples, but protesting peacefully.

Yeah, not much.....:rolleyes:

Global has been non stop reporting on it. Showing lots of interviews from the middle of the protest and the crowd. 

What is not being shown on mainstream media?

You made a statement, and have been asked to provide back up.

The onus is on you, to provide evidence to back up your statement.

 

I'm guessing you took a look and found out you were wrong.

I surmise this because I did look.

Pfizer is a German  company

Moderna is  US

Astra is UK

 

Moderna looks to be under 1/3 of the vaccine supply.

So not "utterly" reliant on US sources.

Claims I'm making things up.

 

Says Pfizer, an American multinational, is German. 

 

Anyhoo, there is no local source for vaccines in Canada. Unsurprisingly.

A majority of the rank and file may be everyday Canadians.  But they are being used for nefarious purposes by far-right organizers.

Caught some of the coverage on CBC at work. I noticed ALL the footage of the crowd was from a great distance. No close up shots or interviews. Was this to to avoid showing the predominantly South Asian make-up of the protesters? 

One lie

Yep. this is gonna look like some garbage we saw with our southern neighbours in the past few years.

 

Feel bad for the truckers that wanted to protest. They have allowed it to become a alt right political spotlight.

I don't care what your leadership is, no protest is going to change anything.  Canada and the provinces (well bc at least) have cast their lot for science and it's pretty evident that isnt going to change.........certainly not for a group like this.

 

Still, protest, fill your sh!t kickers (which many of them wear, but few of them earned) but let's not pretend it's anything but an effort to destabilize government and society from a slim minority of people.

 

As I said, I find you amusing

 

 

Ironically I just came across this.

 

https://www.cbc.ca/news/canada/saskatchewan/scott-moe-proof-of-vaccination-twitter-1.6332514

Quote

Sask. Premier says province will end proof of vaccine policy in 'not-too-distant future'

Second time Scott Moe mentions the potential cancellation of policy within a week

 

 

 

I agree protests generally don't do anything (I didn't/don't expect from this). 

 

I don't agree that its an effort to destabilize government, though I saw the CBC trying to float the idea that this is just a Russian conspiracy. There are certainly some awful people co-opting this, but I think alot of Canadians are just trying to send a message they would like an imminent return to normalcy / not revolution.

 

Re; the bolded I hope you mean that earnestly :lol: I do generally find enjoyment interacting with you & others despite our often disagreements.

Meanwhile in Canada we're all getting omicron regardless.  Good thing we have US-made vaccines in our veins?

Just because a vaccine was made in the US doesn't mean they're the leader. Also, a lot of the research that goes into that is actually international.

 

Why are you so insistant on this anyway?

Dr Bonnie recently said the same.  She extended the passport order until June, but said it could be removed earlier.  Or something close to that.  

The restrictions slowly being lifted has nothing to do with idiots pissing on the steps of parliament, but are based on science and what health authorities believe is best for those in their regions.  If the idiot antivaxxers would have gotten vaccinated last year we wouldn’t have many of the restrictions we currently do.  Antivaxxers are the pandemic of the ignorant, selfish, and cowardly.  These are the scourge of our society.

If there is going to be violence in Ottawa perhaps we can use the Truckers' own weapons against them:

It’s the next antivaxxer talking point.  It comes on the page right after drinking urine.  

Drink urine

eat dewormer

bathe in fish tank cleaner

huff bleach

And so on it goes.  

Big Pharma

etcetera

Tell us where the Liberals are getting the money to control the media.

 

We would love sources as well.

 

Political spending is closely monitored.

 

Federal spending is closely monitored. 

 

Federal spending on the CBC existed when Harper was in power.   Tell us how the Liberals controlled the media then.

 

 

Sources please or STFU with this media is controlled by the Liberals narrative. 

 

Where does the government get money for anything?

 

I don't even know how someone could prove that there is some "control" going on, but it is transparent that they have been continually subsidizing media outlets in recent years - if this is in any way part of your question. (?)

Re; 1st bolded: Hopefully. Lets pray.

 

Re; 2nd bolded: I think that would be difficult to prove given the vaccines didn't end up stopping the spread, & Omicron itself has been something of a new challenge even for the vaccines. (Unfortunately)

 

If there is any benefit to this, I hope it just sends a message to our leaders that many people are prepared to accept the risk & return to normal.

And the truckers convoy has raised nearly half a million $ for first nations clean drinking water and education. 
 

So where is this from?  I'd really like proof of that because I don't buy it for a second.
