Blame Canada
« 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.

For the invisible things of him since the creation of the world are clearly seen, being perceived through the things that are made, even his everlasting power and divinity, that they may be without excuse. Because knowing God, they didn’t glorify him as God, and didn’t give thanks, but became vain in their reasoning, and their senseless heart was darkened. Professing themselves to be wise, they became fools.

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>

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.

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>

Yeah, I also liked the "Prime Wokester" characterization.

Apparently the protests are so peaceful that the Canadian media and academics have to redefine peaceful to show that the protests are actually violent. These people are sick in the head.

Those truckers aren't Canadian anyway.  One Canadian media outlet reported that they are all Russians who are trying to start something.

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.

Their Gofundme has apparently gotten so much money - around $10 million - that Gofundme has frozen their account.

MSM when ONE loon shows up with a swastika
At a peaceful right wing protest : And here we have proof they're all Nazis, we were going to call them that anyway, but they're all Nazis I tell ya! We're all gonna die!
At a left wing loot and burn: Far right wing rioters attack peaceful protest.
