Omicron is waning rapidly. The pandemic will soon end. Which is why these protests are happening now: wait any longer and the opportunity to grift will have slipped by. The far right groups that organized this made serious bank on this. $8M in GoFundMe, to be spent on socially-destructive separatist messaging.

- refurb 5y agoExactly we should just bite our tongue and wait for our dear leaders to tell us when it’s safe to go outside again. To even question that is “an unacceptable viewpoint” to quote Justin Trudeau. Just sit down, shut up and the government will tell you when and what to do. Wait for further instruction.
- moistly 5y agoBut you see, throughout this entire pandemic I’ve mostly ignored the government and instead listened to epidemiologists, kept my eye on ICU rates, and governed myself accordingly. And by doing so I’ve been out to dine, gathered in friends’ homes, visited my parents, go shopping, and generally lived my life unimpeded. Oh, and I’ve also avoided supporting the turds who organized this latest rally and grift: https://www.antihate.ca/the_freedom_convoy_is_nothing_but_a_vehicle_for_the_far_right https://www.antihate.ca/the_freedom_convoy_is_nothing_but_a_.... I can be proud of everything I’ve done during the pandemic. Can’t say the same for the people who were out there pissing on a soldier’s grave, waving the swastika, fighting hotel and restaurant staff, blocking emergency response vehicles, stealing food from the homeless, and keeping their fellow citizens awake all night with their horn-blowing.
