> What genocide is Canada committing?
My educated guess based on "as well as freezing bank accounts just for attending a peaceful protest" in the same breath is vaccine mandates.
Poster is a nutjob. The "peaceful protest" was a Russian dark money backed attempt to disrupt Canadian life, to sow discord and chaos. I mean, they were successful with Brexit and Trump so they took a stab at Canada but they didn't manage to tear Canada apart. On the surface, they were protesting vaccine mandates but that was just the drivel for the redneck fodder. Canadian authorities haven't seen the like yet so they let it grow up to a point where they actually managed to disrupt Canadian economy seriously by occupying a bridge leading to a border crossing. So the Prime Minister declared a state of emergency, froze their bank accounts and sent them home. No one died. These nutjobs forget this rather important point: Canadian authorities peacefully managed to end this.

- _bkyr 3y agoI don't know if poster GP is a nutjob but I've noticed more and more of those type of low-quality comments on here. It all sounds like echoes of a distorted news headlines repeated over and over until we get to the point of: "They don't even have the right to life, their country is committing a genocide, and the goverment tries to take most of their money".
- rightbyte 3y agoBlaming boogeymen for discontent and protests is far more worrying then the protests themself in my opinion. Like Napoleon in the Animal farm ...

- adamomada 3y agoThe end of your comment has some facts wrong, if you care - the emergency was declared after the bridges were back open - the private banks froze the accounts “Russian dark money backed attempt to disrupt life” LOL. I watched the live streams. I know people who went to Ottawa. Real people were Real pissed off with government mandates and a peaceful protest that should not have ended in a proper democracy was disrupted. And you cheer for the result
