Title: Blame Canada
Post by: French G. on January 30, 2022, 10:59:25 PM
Unless I missed it we are being about like most of our media and not discussing the Canadians getting cranky. I wonder if it will light things off here. My exercise today was opening google and duckduckgo. With google and "canadian t" typed I had no suggestions. With Duckduck I typed "cana" and had five suggestions of a trucker strike. Nope, no censorship here...

Oh, yeah, Canada's truckers are getting feisty.

All 17 of them.

I saw where the Prime Wokester and his family fled Ottawa out of concerns for their safety.

Google has been doing that for a long time.  That is partly why I stopped using it.  Other news service like Yahoo News filter out thing or at least sensationalize certain stories. 

You can always pick a few sites like Daily Wire and others if you just want headlines.  I don't always read Daily Wire, but I get their emails and see a lot of their headlines.  They had a number of stories related to the Trucker convoy.

My mother told me she didn't see any mention of the Canada truckers on her local/national news she watches.

She watches FOX and Newsmax so was aware of the goings on up there, she is pretty red pilled about network news and how slanted their "reporting" tends to be.

Yup, totally ignored, or just a blip, on the various MSM outlets. It was a story in the European news I look at, but the US mainstream ignored it.

<editorial>Of late, GOOGLE articles seem to have been mostly written by people who think the world began in 1960. I used to read it to keep up with information. Now I read it to keep up with the Biases.</editorial>

Anyhow, the OP seemed to be thin on details and I decided to wait to see if anyone else could do some light-shedding on its premise, so thanks.

That convoy dealie reminded me a little of the convoy in the movie F.I.S.T.

<editorial>The definitions for "red pilled" seem to be all over the place. Don't fall into the trap of using blurry argot and just use the fairly well established phrase "pissed off."

Mom probably wouldn't mind.</editorial>

You need to have looting and arson in order for a protest to be "peaceful" - at least, according to the legacy media's coverage of the 2020 BLM & Antifa riots.

I realize it's why they are probably doing it, but that shield smacking is pure intimidation - the kind you might expect in a totalitarian government in some Dystopian novel.

No.

The Canada Act of 1982 finalized Canada's political independence from the UK, which had started in 1867 with the British North America Acts and continued with the Statute of Westminster in 1931.

Canada is a member of the Commonwealth and recognizes Queen Elizabeth as the head of state, but has full political independence from the British Parliament.

This almost deserves its own topic.

Gofundme has deleted the fund for the Canadian protestors, calling it an "occupation" that violates its terms of service. If you donated, you can apparently submit some form to get your donation returned. Though I don't know why you would have to do that since it seems they could simply refund most everyone's donations (maybe there are issues with crypto and similar?).

All nonrefunded money is being donated to "reputable charities" by Gofundme. I'm curious what charities those would be and how in line they are with the beliefs of the people who donated to this particular Gofundme?

Well, with the additional info, I have to give them credit for, if they would have given the money to charity, given to charities approved by the organizers. Though full refunds is the correct decision, since the organizers and the myriad of donators might also not have agreed on "appropriate charities".

No doubt, I would be too. I even get specific when I give to someone like the SA so that my donation isn't used for something I don't approve of. I was speaking more from what to do with any unclaimed money, though again, I don't know why there was an issue with just refunding everything to everyone in the first place. The only people at fault here, 100%, are the Gofundme people, who were happy to collect money for antifa "occupations".

Yeah, I cut my SA donation way down and to disaster relief only. I'm currently giving to Idaho Food Bank, the local animal shelter, Make a Wish, St Vincent De Paul, and the Boise Rescue Mission. Trying to keep it more local. I should start a thread on how the Boise Rescue Mission has a few hundred spare beds as "the homeless" protest in front of the state capitol, complaining that there's nowhere for them to go.

I think the good truckers of Canada who are in Ottawa should disperse immediately and return to their homes. The Canadian government is not going to listen to anything the truckers have to say.

Yeah

At first blush, their protest feels American. Some wave banners emblazoned with "Make Canada great again," "F--k Trudeau," or "Trump 2024." Others carried a Confederate battle flag. They shout "freedom," while authorities fear chaos and send the prime minister and his family to "an undisclosed location," much like the Secret Service hid Vice President Dick Cheney on September 11, 2001.
This protest has been celebrated by some in the United States, perhaps in the hope that revolution is flowering in frozen Canada. Among the vocal are Tesla CEO Elon Musk and former President Donald Trump. American truckers are said to be inspired to plan their own mobilized march in Washington, DC.

Canada's trucker protesters aren't who Americans might think

The Ontario government says it has successfully petitioned a court to freeze access to millions of dollars donated through online fundraising platform GiveSendGo to the convoy protesting COVID-19 restrictions in Ottawa and at several border crossings.

The province obtained an order from the Superior Court of Justice that prohibits anyone from distributing donations made through the website’s “Freedom Convoy 2022” and “Adopt-a-Trucker” campaign pages, said a spokeswoman for Premier Doug Ford.

You forgot about the one or more times where someone shot into a vehicle.  I think one SUV driver ran over someone after he was wounded by someone shooting into his vehicle.  Can't remember where that happened. 

There was a video later of a woman holding a pistol out while standing in front of a truck.  I was a bit surprised the truck didn't floor it when she pulled out the pistol.

Ruptly is live from Paris on Saturday, February 12 as a number of different groups gather to protest against the COVID-19 health pass and vaccinations.

The protest is expected to be joined by representatives of the Yellow Vests movement, anti-vaccination activists and possibly truckers, who had announced plans to demonstrate in Paris this weekend against COVID-19 restrictions despite being banned from entering the city.

In Canada, protesters and lorry drivers from the 'Freedom Convoy' have been blocking the streets of Ottawa for days to oppose COVID-19 restrictions and vaccine mandates put in place to curb the spread of the virus. Please note that the views and opinions expressed in the transmission do not represent those of Ruptly and might conflict with guidelines from social media platforms.

Ontario police are knocking on doors based on Facebook posts. As mentioned at the video link, the officer was certainly polite and non-threatening, but I don't think that makes the process non-threatening.

Maybe if they wanted to do "education and awareness" they could have just posted something to the same facebook page where they got people's posts and information, including their home addresses.

"The Freedom Convoy Board agree with your request to reduce pressure on the residents and businesses in the City of Ottawa," Lich wrote. "We have made a plan to consolidate our protest efforts around Parliament Hill. We will be working hard over the next 24 hours to get buy in from the truckers. We hope to start repositioning our trucks on Monday."

Watson had written to Lich saying that residents are "exhausted and on edge" and that the blockades are "teetering on the brink of permanent closure" for some businesses.

"I don’t believe these harmful effects on our community and its residents were the intended consequences of your protest," Watson wrote.

Entertaining the use of force to disperse or contain legal protests is wrong. As Mr. Trudeau said in November 2020, in expressing his support of a yearlong protest by farmers in India that blocked major highways to New Delhi, “Canada will always be there to defend the right of peaceful protest.”

Apparently pets of "visible" minorities are under more stress from the protest than pets of non-minorities

Quote
    Dr. Kelly Butler, who owns a veterinarian clinic near the protest, says her regular clients are nervous about visiting her practice, especially visible minorities.

    “They’re worried about leaving their homes with their pets to even just come to routine care,” she said.

    …

    “And I hope that there aren’t too many pets [at the protest],” she said. “Because they’re also, similarly, terrified, but they’re that much closer to the source of the noise and strangers.”

"especially visible minorities"

As one of the comments said, this is the face of a spoiled child who has never had to face the consequences of his actions. It would have been better for him if he had been arrested and convicted, or just punched in the nose, early on in his "hacking" career. At this point his attitude shows that when he does eventually face consequences, there's a good chance it will be via a bullet from an over-the-edge innocent person whose life he destroyed.

Attention animal owners at demonstration

If you are unable to care for your animal as a result of enforcement actions, your animal will placed into protective care for 8 days, at your cost. After 8 days, if arrangements are not made, your animal will be considered relinquished.

I kinda wonder what the amount of "at your cost" is.  Not like truckers that haven't worked in a month have a ton of extra cash lying around.  Credit Cards are frozen.  They can't get donations.

That mass freezing of individual bank accounts is just terrifying. As is the doxxing and terrorizing of average people who donated $20 to the protest.

I really think that Trudeau is just an idiot who has been told his whole life that he's special, and is just sure as can be that he's right and these yokels just need to be brought to heel and they'll come around.  He's kind of a classic participation trophy narcissist.

But if his party were trying to goad folks into violence as an excuse, this would be a pretty good way.  Take away everything a person has, make it so they can't feed their family, then threaten to jail start jailing them is a good way to make people think they have nothing to lose. [tinfoil]

And on the other side of Canada, environmentalists attack cops and pipeline workers with axes, injure a Mountie, destroy hundreds of thousands of dollars in property, cause oil spills, while receiving funds from a GoFundMe campaign.

No accounts frozen, nobody arrested.

I'm willing to bet real money that the vast, vast majority of Canadian LE will go lock-step. I sadly expect that much of US LE would do the same thing, but still hold hope that many here would find a way not to follow orders. I'm thinking the Canadian culture is much more comfortable, or at least much less resistant, to authority than the US culture. Though we are going downhill fast in that regard.

What percentage of truckers do you think would play that game?  10% would be annoying to folks.  30% would be a big economic disruption.  50%+ would be crippling.  I’m not sure they’d even get 10% though.

Maybe if they said food, medicine only would be delivered (because let’s face it, starving people and denying them medicines is pretty extreme in the eyes of most, and even a lot of supporters would be turned off if they got too hungry and had family dying because they can’t get medicine) but absolutely nothing else and they could get well over 50% to cooperate that would be pretty significant.

What percentage of truckers do you think would play that game?  10% would be annoying to folks.  30% would be a big economic disruption.  50%+ would be crippling.  I’m not sure they’d even get 10% though.

Maybe if they said food, medicine only would be delivered (because let’s face it, starving people and denying them medicines is pretty extreme in the eyes of most, and even a lot of supporters would be turned off if they got too hungry and had family dying because they can’t get medicine) but absolutely nothing else and they could get well over 50% to cooperate that would be pretty significant.

I agree, continue food and medicine shipments but at a reduced capacity so that the lines you used to see in the Soviet Union would  look like a walk in the park compared to what the Canadians could be put through.

I actually think such a work stoppage is better than blocking public roads. I'm not sure how I feel about the US version at this point, as they are pretty much advertising that they will be blocking public roadways.

If they managed to do that only in the vicinity of the capitol, I'm not opposed to creating a pain in the ass for the politicians. As I mentioned before though, I hated when blm and antifa basically kidnapped innocent people just trying to get home or to work, so it's a little hypocritical of me to cheer on the truckers doing the same thing.

It's not a blockade. They could still get all those things. They'd just have to go farther to get them.

Granted, that could be a very significant hardship for the people with the least influence over govt policy, so there is that.

They could completely gridlock Mordor on the Potomac inside the beltway and i wouldn't care.  When the blocked streets get to Blatimore and Manassas,  I'll think about condemning the truckers.  Think.

The real problem is that there a many more like him.  They conflate the whole "protect and defend the Constitution" with protect and defend the government.  They believe the Constitution and the federal government are pretty much the same thing.

Well, she did "counsel to commit mischief".  I'm not exactly what that entails.  It sounds kind of like she was being charged with planning a prank, but I guess that must be more terrifying as you head north.

I would assume that the legal system in Canada is very similar in most respects to the USA.  Here at least the purpose of bail to ensure the individual has motivation to not flee if released prior to trial.  Likelihood of “reoffending” generally isn’t considered unless it’s an especially egregious case of violence. 

For something like this it should be quite simple to make not engaging in fund raising for protests a condition of release.  Maybe include a no-contact order with her co-defendants.

In a city that size I’m sure you can find one or two idiots like that, but I’d guess this entirely made up.  Reporters are too lazy to find anyone “legitimately” (in this case meaning not at the suggestion of the same reporters) making such a claim.

Watched two videos yesterday showing a miles long convoy transiting Arizona and later New Mexico on I-40, on the way to their next overnight stop at the Texas-New Mexico border.  It sure didn't look like a "lack of participation".

Without reducing the severity of the Ukraine situation, really bad time in the news cycle for them to do this. Had war in Ukraine broken out a week earlier, I suspect these guys would have called off or postponed the convoy, though I realize they are trying to ride the crest of the Canadian wave.

So it appears what has happened is that they are consolidating to a single route, with the "Northern route" being cancelled.

https://www.theepochtimes.com/freedom-convoy-usa-abandons-northern-route-urges-truckers-to-join-main-convoy_4304386.html

Quote
Organizers of Freedom Convoy USA 2022 are urging all truckers and protesters who planned on joining them in their trek to Washington, D.C. to change course and join the main group, The People’s Convoy, which as of Saturday morning had reached Amarillo, Texas.

Kyle Sefcik, national organizer for Freedom Convoy USA 2022 told The Epoch Times on Feb. 26, The People’s Convoy is now the “official” convoy.

“I’m disappointed that our own little convoy didn’t have like 30 to 50 trucks. I was a big, wishful thinker,” he said. “Our send-off wasn’t what we were planning and hoping to be.”

The Freedom Convoy USA has abandoned its proposed northern route and has asked all truckers and supporters who planned to follow in motorhomes and smaller vehicles to join The People’s Convoy.

Hand 1:  Glad the convoy is passing near where I live. Too bad I am unable to take off work that day.

He's sorry

Quote
    Prime Minister Justin Trudeau says he regrets referring to Freedom Convoy protesters as a “fringe minority” and admits his government could have done more to avoid having to invoke the Emergencies Act to end the protest.

    Before the convoy arrived in Ottawa, Trudeau labeled the group as a fringe and said they held “unacceptable views.”

    “I wish I had phrased that differently,” Trudeau told reporters during a press conference Friday.

    Trudeau said he was speaking too broadly about protesters, many of whom, he conceded, simply wanted to have their voices heard in opposing two years of government pandemic restrictions.

We saw the same thing in the US on a smaller scale after the Jan 6 protests.
I suspect should another large right wing disruptive protest event occur the consequences for those involved will be worse.
