One - That's Trudeau reporting on what the Members of Parliament UNANIMOUSLY did.
Two - Who doesn't condemn those things?

1. He’s describing the protesters as the things that he listed. Despite the fact that there isn’t any evidence to support that.
2. Most everyone would condemn those things, if they were actually happening. The better question is why would the Prime Minister call protesters racists, homophobes, transphobes, and islamaphobes when there’s no evidence of the protesters believing such things?

More different than similar.
But for arguments sake, lets call blocking traffic peaceful. Should a protestor(s) be allowed to block traffic? If so, for how long?

Yes they should, however long they can manage.

Especially if its like the canadian situation where they were cleaning up after themselves.

If you dont want protests to become actually violent, you have to let them be meaningful to get attention and yes that means impact others.

It's when people feel like their voice isnt be heard that they escalate.

Surely even you can admit that Trudeau should have at least met with them right? Because that was them not being heard. Easy step to show they are being taken serious, discussed a more agreeable position, discussed terms in a reasonable face to face manner.

We agree that truckers have trucks. I'm not sure we can call that progress.

I thought we had gotten a little further than that.

I was saying that a trucker’s platform is his truck and how many he can reach with it.

Much like a celebrity’s platform would be their celebrity and how many they can reach thru it.

He really didn't. He reported that Members of Parliament unanimously condemned those things.
I guess the better question is why Members of Parliament would UNANIMOUSLY do that.

Yes he did. That’s why he used the phrase “that we’ve seen.” Meaning that he believed that all of those “isms” that he listed were on display. Despite the fact that there was no evidence supporting that conclusion.

So the Members of Parliamenf just randomly got together on a day and decided to finally condemn those things as a general statement just as a protest was going on where they were already pushing the racist argument? Huge coincidence I am sure.

And everyone should be against the government slapping that label on anything they dont like, especially when there is no proof. Right?

Trudeau handled it all horribly in my opinion. I said from the beginning he should just remove the mandates.
But it is insane to say protestors can block traffic indefinitely. It would be easy for 100 protestors to shut down all interstates leading into Atlanta for weeks.
It would be easy for a handful of protestors to shutdown all major airports, or all major rail lines.
It has never been allowed, should never be allowed, and will never be allowed.

I see the point and agree.
My stance is that just because it is your platform, doesn't mean you can use that platform any way you wish.
There were ways other than shutting down roads to use their platform.

I saw photos of a swastika and rebel flags. I'm guessing there were reports of all of those things.

What? I was 100% for the idiots blocking the interstate in Atlanta being removed, or arrested if necessary.
Look elsewhere for your inconsistencies....maybe at some of the biggest supporters of the truckers on here.

I'd like to see your evidence because even the mainstream media is devoid of that evidence, or it would be on a continuous loop on their stations.

Did you notice how quickly a responded?
When I asked for evidence of the continued claim that Trudeau called the protestors white supremacists, I got nothing. Finally I got one response that gave one tweet where Trudeau referred to what parliament had unanimously said.
