Tamara posted an emotional video yesterday begging Canadians to stay peaceful and keep love in their hearts. She even went as far as to remind people the Trudeau has 3 children and to remember this when they fly vulger flags.

Of course I read the links....kind of.
What if the number is:
One billion?
Three billion?
Five billion?
Ten billion?
One hundred billion?

At what point would the costs outweigh the benefit? Ever?

At what point did the costs of the BLM protests outweigh the benefit? Ever?

And just like that Luther cares about money. Once so pure and principled the dollar has corrupted him.

Poor effort on your part.

BLM protests accounted for somewhere between 19-36 deaths depending on your source. It's probably somewhere in the middle. Media for and against blm cannot be trusted so lets go with the low end, 19. What monetary value do you give those lives lost? If you want to continue arguing how the truckers protest is more destructive than the blm protest we're gonna need your monetary value for life. There's no comparison here, none. The truckers have ZERO deaths. Thats how you protest.

I'll gladly acknowledge it's an important difference. For the 30th time; anyone who resorted to violence is reprehensible and should be arrested, prosecuted, and punished to the fullest.

I've seen multiple posters on here talk about the "burning of cities" .....lol....and the 2 billion in damages. They are the ones putting monetary value on protests, I'm just playing their game.

But they should think with their wallets first when it comes to protesting?

I never said that. I said that if you b!tch about the "burning of cities" and 2 billion in damages, then you better stay consistent......which they are reluctant to do.

And if you want to play that game you need to acknowledge that the mandates they are protesting also had direct impacts of finances, and definitely contributed to the inflation we are all seeing.
