I love it when you find the memo that was sent to the libs:

 

 

 

 

"Meanwhile, in a hilarious third-rate spoof version of American conventional wisdom — when Canadians try to imitate American pretensions, does it ever not end in a cringe-worthy self-own? — CBC announcer Nil Köksal went on air on January 28th and suggested the trucker protests were a Russian concoction. “Given Canada’s support of Ukraine in this current crisis with Russia,” she posited, to Public Safety Minister Marco Mendicino, “there is concern that Russian actors could be continuing to fuel things as this protest grows, or perhaps even instigating it from the outset.”

 

 

 

 

Taibbi shreds 2022 Libs:

 

 

Long one of the world’s most vicious dictators, Ceaușescu’s most recent plan for winning over the heartland was forcing half the country’s villagers to destroy their own homes — with pick-axes and hammers, if they couldn’t afford a bulldozer — and packing them into project apartments in new “agro-industrial towns,” for a “better future.” Despite this, and his long history of murder, terror, and spying, Ceaușescu to the end did not grasp that his unpopularity had an organic character. He was convinced ethnically Hungarian “terrorists” were behind the latest trouble.

 

After reaching the balcony of Bucharest’s Central Committee building to give a speech that December day, he’s genuinely surprised when the crowd turns on him. When he tells them to be quiet, he’s befuddled by their refusal, saying, “What, you can’t hear?” Elena jumps in and yells, “Silence!”, to which Ceaușescu, hilariously, replies, “Shut up!” The crowd listens to neither of them.

 

Ceaușescu’s balcony will forever be a symbol of elite cluelessness. Even in the face of the gravest danger, a certain kind of ruler will never be able to see the last salvo coming, if doing so requires any self-examination. The neoliberal political establishment in most of the Western world, the subject of repeat populist revolts of rising intensity in recent years, seems to suffer from the same disability.

 

There may be no real-world comparison between a blood-soaked monster like Ceaușescu and a bumbling ball-scratcher like Joe Biden, or an honorarium-gobbling technocrat like Hillary Clinton, or a Handsome Dan investment banker like Emmanuel Macron, or an effete pseudo-intellectual like Justin Trudeau. Still, the ongoing inability of these leaders to see the math of populist uprisings absolutely recalls that infamous scene in Bucharest. From Brexit to the election of Donald Trump to, now, the descent of thousands of Canadian truckers upon the capital city of Ottawa to confront Trudeau, a consistent theme has been the refusal to admit — not even to us, but to themselves — the numerical truth of what they’re dealing with....

I love the response when he says we just decided this morning...we will increase minimum wage (I'm pretty sure the equivalent of going from $10 an hour to $12.  And the crowd is relentless....I know Rush talked about this balcony scene before I completely forgot.  And I was too young to remember it.  This is what all the elites think of you:

I think we will reading about this in the history books...so inspiring...workers around the world- unite! 👍


Prolly the same as the Whiskey Rebellion as a minor footnote on the wrong side of history.

 

If anyone here is supporting this while complaining about inflation in the other thread is something else.

 

They are disrupting our economy now. All fun and games are over. Sanction Canada until they throw them all in jail.

 

The loud minority are something.

Dude back the blue. They can’t do anything wrong. If they move them then they move them and we support the blue.

 

If our blue need to use lethal force against these people then I’m sure we will all support that because we back the blue here on two bills drive.

IT SPREADS: 

 

Australia’s BIGGEST convoy descends on the capital: A huge anti-mandate protest is underway in Australia today. 

 

“A huge crowd is building in Canberra as the anti-mandate Convoy To Canberra protest gains momentum in the nation’s capital. Last night traffic was brought to a standstill as cars, caravans, trucks and buses flooded into the city from all states. The crowd today met at Commonwealth Park before starting the march to Parliament House where a range of speakers will address the crowd.”

Citizens form a line around truckers to prevent Canadian police from arresting them, police stand back.

 

 

 

 

 

AMEN.

 

 

 


That’s like 40 people? Cops need to do their jobs and arrest these asses.

 

If you break the law, you go to jail. Cops shouldn’t be judges. They should say hey is this illegal? Yes. Then my job is to arrest them and throw them in jail.

The so-called “freedom convoy” is nominally protesting a vaccine mandate for truckers, implemented in mid-January on both sides of the US-Canada border. But the demonstrations have swiftly ballooned into a broader far-right movement, with some demonstrators waving Confederateand Nazi flags. Protester demands include an end to all Covid-19 restrictions in Canada and the resignation of Prime Minister Justin Trudeau.
 

The border crossing blockage is putting more stress on the US-Canada supply chain, costing (by one estimation) $300 million a day in economic damage
 

The so-called trucker movement is on the fringe, including among Canadian truckers — some 90 percent of whom are vaccinated.


They are angry because they have lost.

Confederate and Nazi flags?  Really?  Confederate Canadians in a hotbed of Nazi extremism like western Ontario? Who makes up this crap?  Whoever it is they need to run their fictional accounts through the "Bullsheet and believability test.  Why not throw in a few references to human sacrifices and Stanic worship to juice up the narrative a little more!

There is a very simple solution to all of this. Let us all get back to ***** normal.  They aren’t demanding any major changes. They aren’t asking for crazy *****. They want things put backs as they were 24 months ago.  Simple

88 percent of Canadians have had at least one dose of the vaccine. This is just a fringe group trying to get their way. Policies shouldn’t be based on less than 12 percent of people whining.

 

Lets not forget all these people are breaking the law and now breaking court orders. If they want to continue, they should be allowed to…. In the jail they deserve to be in.

 

If they don’t want to be vaccinated they don’t need to be. They just can’t do US-Canada shipments. So either find a new job or only take shipments inside of Canada.

 

The US is finally getting to a point where less people are dying each day than 9/11.
