Canada's Truck Convoy to Protest Mandate

[0nelilreb]

Interesting...

The law . Roads were built for trucks and cars , the sidewalks were built for pedestrians. We probably shouldn’t have those two just deciding “I can go on either one just because I want to at anytime” .. should we ?

His percentage was only in the 20’s. But that is enough as long as everyone else is same or lower. Parliamentary systems…..pray we never get one here

Crimey

 

[0nelilreb]

Even though vaccine passports, by design, directly infringe on the rights of OTHERS to move freely about the country? Sort of seems like the protesters are dishing out the same stuff they have been served for the past several months

Yes exactly like those infringements .

I’m amazed as well at just how much media lies...without offering even a token bit of proof.

These people are so desperate to hold their power, nothing is off the table.

Liberals cannot ever admit they are wrong

By the way, whether you're looting a store or a shutting it down by blocking access/shutting down key supply routes, you're causing financial harm to the owner.

Some quality gaslighting going on these past few days

Odd line you’re drawing

Driving or Shooting?

What if said business owner supports the protest?

Just trying to provide a different perspective.

 

[clarksvol00]

I agree there was that, but I was at least inferring it was because blocking an interstate didnt make sense. I might have been the only one, or forgetting what actually went on with it, but it's not raising too many red flags for me on the difference in reaction

I see it differently, but I can understand your view.

 

[85SugarVol]

Just trying to provide a different perspective.

I understand the point you are making.

But are you really going to compare blocking entrance to a business with looting and burning a business?

Financial impact is not comparable

Shutting it down is shutting it down. I understand they are not the same thing, but I'm not a fan of whining about impacting businesses in one instance while ignoring it in another. If these guys are blockading the downtown and wind up shutting everything down for a month or so, there are probably some small business owners who will go under. Probably wouldn't matter to them whether their stores were looted or just blockaded when they're headed to bankruptcy court.

Member when people had their kids at BLM protests at 2am and they were like "iT'S ImPoRtAnT ThAt tHeY SeE ThIs"? Yes it's important that your kids see a police precinct set on fire or people shooting at the cops. That's not child endangerment, that's a field trip.

Agreed. If this goes on for a month a tanks a small business, that owner is going to be pissed.

Brings up another important distinction.

Local governments were powerless (or unwilling) to stop the destruction, burning, and looting during some of the BLM riots.

Canadian government can end this blockade at any point they feel they are ready.

What if they don't?

Well, they got insurance and ****.

Just like a lot of policies didn't cover acts or riot in 2020, insurance policies probably don't cover trucker blockades.

Then those affected business owners need to pick a side.

Sure they can. That doesn't mean those truckers aren't actively harming businesses with their blockade.

Seems like a ishy move by the truckers. Those businesses didn't make a mandate, but they're the ones paying a price and now the position is, "well if you'd just agree with them it would be okay."
