You grossly exaggerate throughout your post. You are behaving exactly in the way that has discredited the protests. Quit shooting yourself in the foot like a damn fool! Report honestly, and you’ll find that people will grant you more credibility.
- incomingpain 5y ago>You grossly exaggerate throughout your post. Not exaggerated though is it: https://www.cbc.ca/news/politics/trudeau-conservative-swastikas-1.6354970 https://www.cbc.ca/news/politics/trudeau-conservative-swasti... Lantsman used Trudeau's words against him. "Conservative Party members can stand with people who wave swastikas. They can stand with people who wave the Confederate flag," he said This is Trudeau himself saying it, I am not exaggerating anything at all. My comment being 'canadian media' who absolutely covered it much more. Canadian media absolutely covered it exactly how I said. https://www.thestar.com/news/canada/2022/02/07/nazi-flag-at-freedom-convoy-sparks-bill-to-ban-hateful-symbols-but-enforcement-is-seen-as-tricky.html https://www.thestar.com/news/canada/2022/02/07/nazi-flag-at-... There was a grand total of 1 nazi flag and nobody ever positively connected it to the protest. The guardian may have tracked it down and they asserted that the flag was alleging that Trudeau is the nazi. Not that the flag holder themselves were nazis. I dont know if that is true or not. which hey, bill maher commented on Trudeau. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6i72czkSUsM https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6i72czkSUsM To note, bill maher made this comment BEFORE he crushed the protest using force. >You are behaving exactly in the way that has discredited the protests. On the contrary. The protests never got discredited. They got smeared by the media. https://nationalpost.com/opinion/rupa-subramanya-freedom-convoy-dismantles-stereotypes-about-who-is-opposed-to-vaccine-mandates https://nationalpost.com/opinion/rupa-subramanya-freedom-con... One Indo-Canadian trucker, Kamal Pannu from Montreal, I spoke to, was bemused that the protestors were being bracketed as white supremacists when so many of them including he himself are ethnic minorities and people of colour. > Quit shooting yourself in the foot like a damn fool! Report honestly, and you’ll find that people will grant you more credibility. Here's an interesting reality. https://www.ctvnews.ca/health/coronavirus/to-tackle-vaccine-hesitancy-canada-can-t-ignore-race-racism-health-experts-1.5234212 https://www.ctvnews.ca/health/coronavirus/to-tackle-vaccine-... Antivaxxers tend to be racial minorities. Why do indigenous and black canadians not get vaccinated? I dont know. Why did the Federal government jump immediately to calling the protest a bunch of nazis when the protest was disproportionately not white. I think mainly your comment is interesting. I wasn't really intending to get into the freedom protest. It was offtopic and just a lite comment.
- moistly 5y agoAn Alberta politician foolishly gave an interview on-camera while a swastika was flying behind him. You can hardly deny it. https://albertapolitics.ca/2022/01/we-are-judged-by-the-company-we-keep-a-harsh-lesson-michael-cooper-and-many-other-conservative-mps-are-about-to-learn/ https://albertapolitics.ca/2022/01/we-are-judged-by-the-comp... Trudeau was not making shit up. Dude was literally standing there with some of the worst symbols of hatred and oppression being waved all around him. Likewise, the rally organizers are unabashedly white supremacists. Have you never watched Pat King spew his effluent opinion? And tell me again about “so many of them” being ethnic minorities while I peruse the photographs of the crowd… the overwhelmingly white crowd. And I can not believe you when you say you don’t know why First Nations people don’t get vaccinated. You’d have to live in a hole to not hear the news stories about natives being treated as subhuman by doctors and nurses. Shit, right now there’s a scandal where a premature baby in the NICU has a broken femur and the hospital is stonewalling its indigenous mother about WTF happened. Only the willfully blind and deaf can claim to not know why Indians don’t trust the medical system in this country. If you think your fellow Canadians supported the protests or if you think your province (sans Quebec) was ever under a real lockdown… well, man, you have to get yourself out of whatever disinformation hole you’ve dug yourself into because reality ain’t what you think it is.
- incomingpain 5y agoCanadians aren't a bunch of nazis. When leftist Bill Maher called Trudeau hitler... it can't be godwins law. You must accept that Trudeau was acting like Hitler. When the protest had swastikas... it's not because they themselves are nazis but rather asserting that Trudeau is the nazi. The protest didn't even allow any of that. All the actual hateful people were sent packing. The left wing has taken to calling all conservatives nazis for too long. Harper was a nazi, scheer was a nazi. Bernier was a nazi. Otoole a nazi. Pollievre a nazi. I absolutely know why first nations dont get vaccinated. I said I dont care, I believe in their right to make the decision. I dont support the government making decisions that disproportionately harm racial minorities. Our PM is a blackface wearing racist. We as Canadians are on the same team. The left wing has gotten out of control with this smearing. As the NYTimes said, the protest must be allowed to continue. It was a legitimate protest and it would be bad for democracy if force were used to end it. Well force was used. There are now consequences for Trudeau's actions. It will take some extreme actions to restore democracy. Seemingly the way the left-wing is acting is that we are not on the same team. Do you really wish to see us split? Because that's the direction it's going.
