So, what did I learn from the last week events?

[jcpro]

1. Our Prime Minister is no leader, completely uninterested in uniting the country.
2. Our media are bought and paid for and, with very few exceptions, perfectly willing follow the party line.
3. The fervent lefty prayers for violence were not answered.
4. O'Toole is no leader and doesn't belong at the head of the future government.
5. Canada and its people are really, really tired of this bullshit- the Covid-19 AND the dog eats dog attitudes of our political and chattering classes.
6. The social media came into its own last week.

I learned that maybe, just maybe, there’s a minuscule, tiny, infinitesimal chance that Canadian’s will slowly and finally stop being such mindless sheep and possibly stand up for their rights. Long shot, but never say never.

We learned that finally hospitalization are lowering thus giving us a chance to start back giving surgery to those who have been waiting and possibly aggravating their cancer.

Here's what I learned though most was not necessarily in past week.........

1. Our Prime Minister has never been a great leader and has benefitted from incompetent opponents. But he was right not to meet with the joke organizers of this protest, he should have just stated that he would only meet with actual representatives of the trucking industry. Calling this a fringe element was a poor decision, he should have focussed on the organizers and their true motives.
2. Antivaxxer arguments would be much more effective without histrionics about media conspiricies and they need to stop making comparisons to true, actual oppressive governing. The hissy fit aspects of their arguments come across as whining and paranoia.
3. No one wanted violence aside from the true bad actors who hijack all political protests, however the format of this one and especially the views of the organizers made this event a magnet for those bad actors.
4. O'Toole is no leader and doesn't belong at the head of the future government.
5. Canada and its people are really, really tired of this bullshit- the antivaxxers who have always had the freedom to choose whether or not to be vaccinated but don't accept that choices come with consequences, they expect rewards without making any sacrifices. They want to be embraced as community without doing their part to create community. They are the type of people who show up at potlucks without a meal.
6. Anyone who uses social media to decide whether they should or shouldn't have a vaccine injected into them is a buffoon. In fact, social media should be viewed only as entertainment and anyone who uses it as their primary source of information is a moron.

What you should have learned is that Canadians goes about their daily lives without much interest or support for anti vaxxers.

It is turning more people negative against the small minority of anti vaxxers.

And what else the Canadians learned? A stark contrast between the "right wing" protesters and their lefty counterparts. The righties brought garbage bags to clean up after themselves while the lefties clean up by looting and burning.

When you say "lefties" loot and burn, who specifically are you referring to?

Everywhere.

Really, which cities in Canada did the left burn down, or left garbage all over the place?

From over 10 years ago. There were extreme right wing elements involved in these demonstrations.
But let us not forget the killings by extreme right right wing groups such as the Quebec Mosque Shootings, The London, Ontario truck murders of a family, the storming of Parliament Hill after the shooting of a soldier!!

These are the real violence events with intent to cause mass murders by the right wingers!!

Those were indigenous people as they felt that their rights were violated. Of course the right wingers will somehow try to blame the left with it!!

We also learned last week that healthcare workers do not have the time nor the rights to leave work to convoy to Ottawa.

We did?
Since when?

 

[jalimon]

I wrote do not

 

[Male4Strapon]

I wrote do not

I meant as in "We learned that health care workers lack the time or rights?"
I haven't heard of any healthcare workers not permitted to participate. Now you said leave work to join, well of course not.......... we can't have healthcare workers walk out in the middle of their shift, deserting their patients to join a protest but if they are off and motivated to join, there was nothing to stop them.

Occupy Toronto. A blast from the past- no matter. They left a mess too.
