There's a message going around that one strategy to turn the public against the convoy is as follows, as leaked by a whistleblower: - a police riot control horse (named after Terry Fox, no less), being led across a street, will be hit with a truck - the driver who hit the horse will flee (hit-n-run) - the horse will be euthanized when the news cameras come but the direct participants will be plants. ---- There's also a message saying the prime minister paid a lot (I thought the number cited was "47 million dollars") to hire people to, well, be disturbers at the event. ---- I can't tell if either of these are true. I'd like to say it is beyond the pale, but it just isn't obvious to me that it is. ---- On the other hand, there's a video where the prime minister says, "Now, you sometimes hear about Liberal bias in the media these days, how they're constantly letting off our government, letting our government off the hook for no good reason. Frankly I think that's insulting. It's clear they let us off the hook for a very good reason, because we paid them $600 million." but, in looking it up, I see it was a joke taken out of context (see https://www.cbc.ca/news/science/trudeau-media-bribery-fake-video-1.5273163 https://www.cbc.ca/news/science/trudeau-media-bribery-fake-v... ). It is so hard to tell what is what these days. ---- With all that said, I am not at all impressed with the Canadian media right now. It is downright shameful the way they've been spinning this story.
