Russian agents, welcome to Canada! Is Charles McVety colluding with Putin?

A convoy of truckers has left Red Deer Alberta for a protest ride to Ottawa. On it's own there is no problem, they have a right to fight for their jobs. They created a problem when they accepted Yellow Vest Movement participants. They are anarchists and hate groups, they have done their best to weaken President Macron in Paris and now it's Justin's turn. Among the yellow vest participants are hard right groups most notably The Vanguards, the Canadian chapter of the KKK. Superstud Scheer got this started in a rally in Saskatchewan, he thundered that when he becomes Prime Minister, he will build the pipelines.

Albertans claim that they are the hardest working Canadians. If true then why cant they diversify their economy like Norway, Texas and Colorado have done? The two Provinces most resistant to pipelines have booming economies: BC and Quebec. They are currently outperforming Ontario, Standard and Poors will soon downgrade our Provinces Credit Rating over government interference. Scheer's affable charm and oozing machismo, should force BC and Quebec into accepting pipelines.

Just like in France, a reasonable protest movement has wandered into anger based politics that comfortably hosts some of the worst racists.

^^^ what a despicable article.

For the vast majority it's not about LEGAL immigration.

It's the 40-50 thousand illegal migrants pouring across the border since the assclown JT issued his infamous tweet two years ago. It's sickening to see alt-lefts twist the every day citizens' legitimate concerns lumping them ALL into racists and white supremacists. *barf*

Here's a different slant from the CBC no less:

Don't dismiss them as 'crackpots': Who are Canada's yellow vest protesters?

They feel ignored and like they are being left behind, political scientist says


This weekend in Edmonton, protesters wearing bright yellow vests will gather at the Alberta legislature. Just like they did last weekend, and every weekend before that for the past month.

"No point making all those beautiful signs if nobody gets to see 'em," an organizing group said in a Facebook post about plans for Saturday's rally. "Looking forward to our biggest turnout yet."

Some protesters may stand at the podium shouting conspiracy theories about how powerful Jewish families control the world, as one man did at a rally at the Alberta legislature on Jan. 5.

Some may sport red "Make Alberta Great Again" hats while recording the crowd with their cell phones, in an effort to be their own media.

Others may prowl on the sidelines dressed like they belong to a biker gang. Only instead of Hells Angels patches, they have "Wolves of Odin — Canadian Infidels" sewn onto the back of their leather jackets.

But most of the protesters are not voices from the fringes. Some have jobs building high-rises or driving for Uber. Others are teachers, pipefitters, real estate agents.

One thing in common

And while their message may be muddled by a cacophony of divergent grievances and opinions, they all have one thing in common: they feel ignored and like they are being left behind.

"Certainly there's this growing discontent that governments are ignoring the concerns of ordinary citizens," said Chaldeans Mensah, a political scientist at MacEwan University in Edmonton.


That's echoed by Lynn Smith, a former oil and gas worker who now works in the school system. The yellow vest rally on Jan. 5 marked the fourth time she had attended such an event.

"They're just giving our country away," Smith said about why she was there. "We have no rights anymore. They're taking them all away. No more Lord's Prayer. But they're putting praying rooms in schools … Merry Christmas — you're not allowed to say [that] anymore. It's supposed to be 'Happy Holidays.'

"They're changing our country and we've got to stand up and say something about it because this is our country. I was born here. My parents were born here. … It's wrong."

The protesters say they are not opposed to immigration, but much of the focus of Edmonton's yellow vest rallies has been on who comes into the country, and how they get here.

"We're overwhelming our resources," said Brent Webster, a father of five who works in the construction industry. "We can't properly vet these people and make sure it's safe for them to come in and make sure that they're skilled and assimilate to our country and know our ways and our values."

Trudeau a target

In January 2017, soon after U.S. President Donald Trump put in place a travel ban on people from seven Muslim-majority countries, Prime Minister Justin Trudeau delivered a message via Twitter: "To those fleeing persecution, terror & war, Canadians will welcome you, regardless of your faith. Diversity is our strength #Welcome to Canada."

Not long after that, the flood of irregular border crossings into Canada spiked. Some asylum seekers were put up in hotels while their claims were being processed. Critics said Trudeau's tweet contributed to the border crossing issue.

Then, in December, Trudeau signed the United Nations global migration pact, a non-binding initiative designed to provide an understanding among nations about how to deal with the global migration crisis.

At the same time, people in Western Canada have been losing their jobs, and projects that could bring work to area — like pipelines — are stalled. And a carbon tax appears on their heating bill. And their restaurant and child care bills go up, tied to the latest hike in Alberta's minimum wage.

"Trudeau keeps giving all of our money away to immigrants," said Samantha Quaghebeur, a mother of five. She attended the Jan. 5 rally with Webster, her husband, and two of their children. It was her first protest — for any cause.

"We are stuck paying for all of his money that he wants to give away to everybody but Canadians. My kids are going to grow up, my grandkids and all their kids are going to be poor and stuck in a hole that they're never going to get out of."

Muddled message

Immigration is not the only issue on the yellow vest agenda. A manifesto making the rounds online lists "illegal immigration" as just one of many concerns: carbon tax, pipelines, dependence on foreign oil, electoral reform, transfer payments, freedom of speech, freedom of the press, and sovereignty over immigration policies.

Meanwhile, a different group of Western Canadians has been bringing a pro-pipeline message to the streets. Groups like Rally 4 Resources and Canada Action have held rallies in communities across Alberta, calling for an end to Bill C-48 and changes to Bill C-69, which they say makes it more difficult to get pipelines built in Canada.

These protesters are organizing a convoy of of big rigs from Western Canada to Ottawa next month, which will end with a rally on Parliament Hill.

While their pro-pipeline message overlaps with that of the yellow vest protesters, they are not the same. In recent days, the pro-pipeline groups have distanced themselves from yellow vest protesters, who have been accused of harbouring racism

Duel of the convoys as yellow vests and Canada Action both set sights on Ottawa
Even the yellow vest protesters can't agree on who the "official" yellow vests are. Glen Carritt, who is organizing a "yellow vest" convoy to Ottawa (different from that organized by Canada Action), said he is not affiliated with other groups calling themselves yellow vest protesters.

Whether or not other Canadians agree with the message of the yellow vest protesters, political scientist Mensah said they should not be ignored.

"If we observe these demonstrations, try to understand where they're coming from and not simply dismiss them as crackpots or anti-immigrant," he said.

"Because if we do that, some of these people may go underground, which is not a healthy situation for the democratic system."

That was disturbing to read for so many reasons
Kinda shameful too as they have been subsidizing Eastern Canada for quite sometime
That was true when the dollar was on par with the greenback, it's not true today.

Breaking News: Moody's has downgraded Ontario's credit rating to Aa2 on Valentine's Day. This concerns me more than the convoy from Red Deer. Ontario's Credit rating was downgraded to Aa3, due to Premiere Wynne's lavish spending after the 2014 Election.

Half of Albertans were born in eastern Canada, but they try to hide that fact as they whine about western alienation which is a totally fake construct. Maybe they should just evolve beyond the dinosaur stage. Does Ontario blame the feds for the diminishing manufacturing sector? No.

Leaving aside the conclusion that his election was the mistake, surely any Preem who cancels a money-making market-based cap-and-trade plan, then commits-tax-dollars to fight a federal carbon-tax just before proposing his own surprise carbon-pricing plan (albeit without using the 'T'-word) isn't the sort to give the truly conservative confidence in his stable predictability; those who direct financial rating agencies, for instance.

Quebec has benefited from selling their electrical capacity to New England, now they are snapping up the environmental technology jobs that Ontario doesn't want.

Montreal will regain its economic clout and Premiere Francois Legault could have a Trudeau Sr type of run in office. Looking back Mario Dumont showed up 15 years too soon.

Charles McVety is remaking the Conservative Party in his image. Douglas isn't ready to enforce Bill C-36 unless he gets money from Ottawa, if the Saskatchewan Superstud becomes Prime Minister, that wont be a problem.

Fuck, why is YT helping Rebel Media, still can't find a clip of when Vasy Kapelos boxed Scheer's ears with her massive juggs!
