Canada's Truck Convoy to Protest Mandate

They aren't the only people in Canada. They're just the ones making the most noise right now.

Was this your response during the BLM movement and subsiquent riots? Seems to me there is an obvious double standard on the way governments and media are responding/handling.

That's tough talk. Now let's see how they handle Canadian and US federal govts jumping in to freeze or grab those funds...

Doesn't matter, the writing is on the wall. Covid restrictions even in blue states are already being lifted. No matter how much the dictator that's in the white house hates it.

I thought Democrats were fine with protesting in roads and blocking streets?

Rather would loose the building for a few days. However we’re set up so that we can operate completely remote if need be.

Thank you for the reply.

If they’d just start punching old people in the face at restaurants and hitting people with bicycle locks they’d get government approval.

Yeah the sit ins in the 60s were comparable to burning the business down.

This is one of the worst takes I have EVER seen.

Me personally choosing to not shop at X store is similar to me breaking in and looting a TV. Lost money and all.

Lolooolol.

You continue to ignore violence or not violence. That's the distinction of acceptability.

Not shopping at a store is not the same as blocking access to it. The sit-ins were at businesses that refused to serve the protesters. Are the businesses the truckers are blocking forcing them to get a vax?

Completely BS summary of my position by the way. I've never opposed boycotts. This is a blockade not a boycott. You're usually better than that.

 

[clarksvol00]

Lolololol.

Hey @hog88 or other business owners. Would you rather your physical building be locked down for a few days, or actually lose physical assets up to and including the entire building and everything in it?

You assume everybody can survive having the building shut down for however long these guys stick around. Hasn't it already been more than "a few days?"

 

[clarksvol00]

And guess what. You have said yourself on this forum that private business owners can do what they want. Since many of these truckers and farmers who are protesting are private business owners then they are just practicing their right to "do whatever they want". Correct? So I'm sure you have no problem with this.

I can do what I want in my private business. That doesn't mean I can go out and block a freaking highway I don't own.

Read the freaking thread.

 

[clarksvol00]

You don’t have the black hole to slap on the ground? Dude, acme waits your order.

Last time I ran off the edge of a cliff, I didn't fall til I read a book about gravity.

Are you in a blue state or red state?

What does that have to do with these truckers?

No you cannot do "whatever you want" in your private business. You truly a hypocritical democrat. Plus, you would rather side with a tyrant like Trudeau than the these truckers.

You'd rather side with a bunch of truckers than the private businesses they hurt.

Many of those truckers own their own business themselves. The mandates end, the protests will end. Simple as that. Sounds you love tyrants like Trudeau.

Why can't you just answer a simple question that is asked of you?

They don't own the highways they are parked on or the businesses to which they have blocked or cut off supplies.

I understand you dont feel people cN gave nuanced takes, but I never said anything about Trudeau or the Canadian vax policy. If making up a position for me makes you feel like you're "winning," that's fine.

Tell me how it's relevant first. I'm not going to get into anymore "Donjo makes up an argument to argue against" BS with you.

Are you talking about how republicans and rightwing media covered the two?
Whose double standard is larger?

These truckers were going to lose their jobs for not getting vaccinated. That’s fair? It’s most likely the people in the cities that voted Trudeau in, so they are partly responsible for this nonsense.

Now I'm playing this stupid back and forth with people like you. Answer the question. Then I'll tell you how it's relevant. Otherwise if it's a question you don't like simply ignore and move on.

I never said the Canadian vax mandate was fair. Doesn't change my position that the truckers are harming others.

What I still find so crazy is that someone would choose to quit their job instead of taking a vaccine. It's lunacy.
Talk about cutting off your nose to spite your face.
