Gentlemen, gentlemen...there's a solution here you're not seeing.

insane covid restrictions, forced vaccinations, shutting down businesses and finances of those who disagree or just donated to them, massive crackdowns on peaceful freedom protests

now this......enjoy your freedom up there in canada folks

totally not going in the wrong direction

wef global communism is taking the western world. i dont think there are elections any more. have you seen 2000 mules by dinesh d'souza?

i disagreed with mandatory vaccines/strict rules vs truckers because it hurt the economy, however, the trucker protest was far from a peaceful protest. it was an illegal occupation. when the lives of other citizens are impacted because you disagree with a decision (in which they either may disagree or not) should not result in their own rights being infringed. Should not be trying to put one group of people's rights over another.

The shut down of ambassador bridge is not peaceful protest. that hurt a lot of local businesses on the both Canadian and American side. imagine thinking that is peaceful or that they had any right to do that.

Should they have been given another option? Definitely. I.e tracking & testing.

Canada is fine. just because you have extremist views on certain topics does not mean that one is not "free".

pretty cute when its suddenly about poor local businesses when truckers blockade some roads

but obliterating these same businesses with multi month lockdowns because of a fucking cold yaaay

i agree with you on the lockdowns hurting small businesses while big box stores were allowed to remain open with limited capacity just because they were able to afford to put in public health measures more quickly.

small businesses should have been afforded more infrastructure to help maintain their activity.

however, this also did cause a push for those to update/upgrade their infrastructure resulting in more services/ability to reach more customers, i.e online orders, curb side pick up etc.

in addition, why should gov bail out those who are operating exceedingly on margin? i don't think gov should have been bailing out large corps either. free market capitalism would allow those impacted to fail. there are some who also flourished in a new venture during the pandemic. it is the nature of things. i have friends/coworkers who started online/small scale product stores and were able to grow a nice revenue stream from whatever their niche.

Its no coincidence that the same guy who declared martial law to perform mass arrests of peaceful protesters trying to petition their government for a redress of grievances- of his repressive authoritarian policies- is now trying to seize all firearms from his subjugated populace.
Canada is an authoritarian shitshow at this point. It demonstrates why the American 1st amendment and 2nd amendment are two of the pillars of a free society, and a country without those protections is a dictatorship.

Amen

The leftists love to conform and obey because they love getting it by the government it satisfies their inner cuck at it slowly takes away any form of resistance. With each one taken away they will be more and more willing to get absolutely controlled.
I have an inkling in about 20-30 years getting chipped and being told what to eat and drink and which profession to chose will be a new norm.

Of course it's a peaceful protest, there's no violence. Gandhi inspired this trope, and he would think you're being ridiculous. If protests don't have any consequences, why should anyone care?

gotta realize the truckers were faced with jab or job...
a jab with questionable efficacy and certain possible complications... how quick some wish to forget history and toss freedoms away temporarily only to beg for them back eternally
