The Democratic Party I grew up with and was a member of, would have embraced this protest against racism and tyranny. Instead we (D) let the morally bankrupt politicians and there mentally challenged supporters like billstime and tibs take control. I don’t think the Democratic Party can ever recover from this. If the far left on this board really cared about the workers, they would be supporting this movement. But just like POC, they recognize them only when they need to be re-elected. It’s a damn shame! Hard for me to see that this was not about the virus. It was about what? China labs, Fauci planned this to be rich, Pfizer wanted global control, trump needed a drum to beat, dems needed election issue, Putin needed this, the taliban wanted to get US out so they created a virus...hmmmmm. yeh, politics are involved, it us 2019, 20, 21, 22...wtf else could you expect. Believe Fauci or bleach in your blood stream. The judgement here is between what your belief is, deaths or freedoms. Where s the cross over, 950,000 deaths is not enough, so 950,001 or if no effort was made for vaccines, masks, shutdowns etc, 1,500,000 or 3,000,000 or many more? Risk? What is your investment strategy. I know you will not answer this question because a decision is required not dogma. If the virus would have threatened 100,000 deaths in US, or1,000 in Canada, I would agree with you, but I choose to listen and accept that millions could die, and see the necessity for many measures.

While I completely empathize with you, and your concerns appear sincerely genuine, there are very legit arguments, making the case, that there were ulterior motives in trying to make the virus seem worse than it was... From hospitals getting paid for covid cases/deaths, to Bill Gates saying in a 2018 article, that the pathway to digital ID is through immunization, to certain politicians saying “Never let a good crisis go to waste” and then using their granted ‘emergency powers’ to push through their own political agendas, to the government suppression of early treatments, to Pfizer sponsoring all of the mainstream media’s pushing of the vaccines, etc etc... I could go on, but it would take all day...But you get the point...That’s why it’s imperative you do your own research on this matter...The mainstream media and Big Tech are just PR mouth pieces for the Establishment, who is, in turn, bought and paid for by Big Pharma...And Big Pharma’s job is never to benefit you, as much as it is to benefit themselves...👍 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

How anyone can’t see how politically motivated it’s been since the beginning is being deliberately obtuse. Agreed, but YOUR statement of death count being wrong is political. Almost every death has more than 1 cause, so this is nothing more than trying to justify ignoring 950,000. Some would have died by drunk drivers, but that doesn't matter because at the time they had a heart condition. That is a political self serving position. If I guessed wrong and a vaccine causes brain cancer in 50% of those who got 3 doses I am wrong and will live with it ( OR DIE WITH IT). But for those who yelled FREEDOM, without thought for their fellow citizens, there may be a special place for them in the future. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If BLM was only blocking traffic you’d have a point. But they were not. It’s what each protest represents that determines whether or not I support them. To me this protest represents the people’s complete and utter frustration with the overreaching control of government. Not just the police department that BLM was protesting but the whole ***** government. Left, right, center. This isn’t about masks and vaccines. To me it’s about people rising up and saying we’ve had enough of the government knowing what’s best for me and my family. Agaln what freedoms are being denied to others? Other than some pregnancy or the freedom of visitation rights of some mythical dying grandma across town. However from what I’ve seen if someone approached these truckers with a request to see their dying sweet granny not only would the truckers likely move out of the way they would probaby escort the family to gramma.

First the truckers may want to be left alone....but in reality they are NOT alone. Join the rest of society in the battle. 2. 1 finger in front if your face stops more virus than none, your hand in front of your face stops more than 1 finger, a mask stops more than your hand. Simple process. Always amazing how you pick and choose which CDC reports you want to accept. Suddenly there is no corruption or conspiracy. 3. Firing people is ridiculous and the courts will show that eventually, but stopping them from working temporarily is not stupid for society as a whole. When TB was a concern people who could be carriers were isolated until the disease could be understood. This virus is young and new, this is a societal challenge not about freedom. When measles spread anyone who came into contact with the infection had to isolate and not attend work. We lacked knowledge. People spent more time on China/Fauci conspiracies or bleach in your veins. 4. People can make a decision, but with every decision comes responsibility and consequences. They are fellow citizens and deserve respect, but others deserve there respect as well. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Both US & Canadian gov't's because of politicians laws have deficits that are well beyond manageable & only continue to get worse because of politicians ignorants ! Each country have people with in their borders that die every single day because they deem certain products such as opioids, Round up, tephlon, & many others safe to use despite knowing the disease they cause & dangers to people & the environment all because of the all mighty dollar . Well just maybe this is the only last line of defense for the people any more is to hit them where it hurts in the wallet because they have proven that to them that's all that matters !! It's all about the money and the people are just a secondary concern in the over all of every political decision weather it be here north or south of the border it's just that some believe that we are in their best interests but most need to wake up & smell the coffee . We the people have been getting screwed plenty & long enough by politicians making BS promises & i for one am glad the Canadians still have the balls to stand up & fight for what they believe to be right . American truck drivers use to do this all the time but America for the most part has become lazy & use to being told what, how, when & where to do things & just go along with it . If we were to hold all politicians accountable for the crap they have put this country in they would have to fire 95% of those in office because they are nothing but a bunch of crooked lawyers pretending to be on our side JMHO ...

Since when did Leftists become the ones supporting Big business, censorship, and the Establishment? I feel like I’m in the twilight zone...😉 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The left supports science, reality and common sense. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
B-Man Posted February 14, 2022 Share Posted February 14, 2022 Four years of the left tying themselves into knots in fear over President Trump declaring Martial Law... but a socialist does it does it and it is met with cheers by the same people. 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That's good. But did you also know they were blocking neighborhoods? https://news.yahoo.com/ottawa-mayor-apos-freedom-convoy-215725939.html Quote Ottawa Mayor Jim Watson says that he has reached an agreement with the leadership of the "Freedom Convoy" to remove trucks from residential neighborhoods this week. ... "We have made a plan to consolidate our protest efforts around Parliament Hill," "Freedom Convoy" president Tamara Lich said in a letter to Watson, adding that the "Freedom Convoy" board agrees with the request to alleviate pressure on residential areas and that organizers are currently working to get the truckers to "buy in." "The Freedom Convoy Board agree with your request to reduce pressure on the residents and businesses in the City of Ottawa," Lich wrote. "We have made a plan to consolidate our protest efforts around Parliament Hill. We will be working hard over the next 24 hours to get buy in from the truckers. We hope to start repositioning our trucks on Monday." Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There's no un-ringing that bell. That's a casus belli for people. Aggressive government action always brings out the people itching for a fight. Always. It's why if you're the government, it's literally the doomsday option. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Join the rest of society in the battle. 2. 1 finger in front if your face stops more virus than none, your hand in front of your face stops more than 1 finger, a mask stops more than your hand. Simple process. Always amazing how you pick and choose which CDC reports you want to accept. Suddenly there is no corruption or conspiracy. 3. Firing people is ridiculous and the courts will show that eventually, but stopping them from working temporarily is not stupid for society as a whole. When TB was a concern people who could be carriers were isolated until the disease could be understood. This virus is young and new, this is a societal challenge not about freedom. When measles spread anyone who came into contact with the infection had to isolate and not attend work. We lacked knowledge. People spent more time on China/Fauci conspiracies or bleach in your veins. 4. People can make a decision, but with every decision comes responsibility and consequences. They are fellow citizens and deserve respect, but others deserve there respect as well. i wrote a pretty big paragraph on mandate effectiveness and made reasonable conclusions based on 2 distinctly different ways gov has responded. even included a study but you continue on as if the mandates are without a doubt effective and save lives. i cant do much more to show at this point that it isn't pointing in that direction data wise. i didn't cherry pick cdc, i used it because many have decided its the gold standard of info even though its flip flopped regularly. im glad you agree noone should be fired. when they fight for their job back down the line i hope your on that side. people do have to face the consequences and responsability to one another and my above statement goes into that as well. its not just "them".

Niagara Bill Posted February 14, 2022 Share Posted February 14, 2022 Emergency Measures Act invoked in Canada by Trudeau. Gives feds power and overrides civil liberties. As a Canadian I say a weak leader who does not engage his citizens in times like these hides behind laws. Except for a gang in Alberta who had guns etc, most folks have been peaceful. A real leader would not hide from his citizens. Trudeau has shown his cowardice. These are not Buffalo headress wearers. Most are family folks. The protest is out of hand, but this us a lack of skilled leadership, something sorely missing in NA. I expect failure and escalation. As a teen from the 60s. OHIO. 7 minutes ago, reddogblitz said: I wanted to thumbs up your post but not everything. So thumbs up on this.
