- refurb 5y agoYou nicely ignored the 1 in 5 who do support the convoy. Like I said, millions of Canadians.
- MisterBastahrd 5y agoIn democracies, we tend to ignore things when they only get 20% support, and that's if nobody is actively being harmed. I hope that the convoys are not only completely cut off from economic support, but also that the people driving those trucks are identified and prevented from ever crossing the border into the US. Truck driving is a decent job. Be a shame if some of them were forced to earn a living doing something else from now on.

This is a terrible understanding of Canada's system and the Charter of Rights and Freedoms (including the ones that Trudeau just suspended with the Emergencies Act). It's not hard to understand how authoritarian systems come about - it's people like you who gladly support them as long as the enemy is someone you agree is bad. Yikes.
