University Avenue Shutdown

[simon482]

I went to Ottawa to see for myself because you can't trust the media spins.

I saw no racism and no hate speech. I saw every race and orientation walking together flying flags and being happy.

I saw restaurants open that I was told are closed.

I saw people wearing gadsen flags pouring coffee for poc.

I saw the truckers shoveling streets and sidewalks by hand.

I saw a dance party and people laughing.

There was an idiot that lit fireworks and almost hurt people. He got yelled at.

I asked 3 officers and parliament security and they said everyone is great and peaceful. Garbage bags every 10 feet tied to pylons.

I didn't see anything that the media said I would see.

When I told someone what the vaccine did to my daughter he started to cry and was shaking when he hugged me.

Democracy =/= Freedom and vice versa. They can occur at the same time but again, they are not the same thing.

You can be more free under a monarchy or even a dictator who doesn't get in your face than a democracy where your neighbors want to run every facet of your life... including the ability to hobby.

nothing personal, a lot of people confuse the two and it's a bit of a pet peeve of mine. I am a man of many feels.

Fair enough, I wasnt meaning to conflate the two. However these guys are purportedly defending democracy, while at the same time calling for the ouster of a democratically elected government, installing themselves instead.

This wave is almost done, restrictions will be eased regardless.
The western separatists who started this and just want Trudeau to resign should just go home.
The Maverick party can wait until the next election.


People in Vancouver counter protest.

It is understood that freedom of religion goes together with freedom FROM religion.
I wish freedom of speech also was linked to freedom from speech. Your freedom of speech does not imply the right to ram it down my throat.

Freedom of speech
Hey Bob, would you like me to share my love of Cthulhu with you. No, OK.
Hey fellow cultists, I found a printing press we can rent to public copies of the Necromicon. Cthulhu be praised!
There is a radio station for sale, we can spread the message that Cthulhu will awake soon, Lovecraftian Insurance will even by ad space, we should buy it.
Hello stranger, I am a Cthulhu Witness, would you like this p... no, have a nice day.
Bretherin, I've arranged some guest speakers and the local library was so kind as to provide us with some space so we and those interested can gather and share our thoughts.

Not Freedom of speech. [And note most of not all of these would be illegal if I did this as a person or a small group... and we would get arrested for it]
Blocking traffic or preventing use of public facilities to spread the love for Cthulhu.
Make huge amounts of noise and creating a disturbance via horns, megaphones, pots and pans etc.
Threats. "We will hold this intersection/railroad hostage until you accept Cthulhu in your heart." or "No peace until you acknowledge how awesome Cthulhu is"
Hey that forum/TV station/place with a meeting space will not let us use their facilities to spread out message, muh freedom of speech.
Going up to some rando and screaming "Ph'nglui mglw'nafh Cthulhu R'lyeh wgah'nagl fhtagn" at the top of your voice over and over again.
Smashing windows and looting for Cthulhu although understandable isn't even speech FFS

The later should not be tolerated. If it's illegal for one person to do it, it should be illegal for a mob to do it. I don't care if you are protesting for free feline medical care, a cause we must all support, it should not be tolerated. If it was announced public policy that people engaging in criminal acts would no longer get a free pass just because there are many of them, sure there might be some bloodshed at first, but soon the message would get through and we can have some civility. That criminals resist shouldn't be an excuse to do nothing.
It's very telling that "they" talk about the right to protest but small protests get shut down pretty quick.

Also I find it amusing.
People riot and loot during BLM protests and it's excuse after excuse and other people are like, bruh WTF
People act like cunts with Schmucks for Trucks and the exact same people take the opposite position.

Do you guys on the Left see how the government and the media has lied to you??
How its just a racist, fringe minority protesting??

I just got back from the protest about an hour ago and there were people of all stripes there.
I'd say at least 1/3rd were visible minorities.
I even saw an LGBQT rainbow flag.
I never seen so many people united for a just cause.

END THE FUCKING MANDATES NOW!!!

Really some bullshit lawyer on 1010 AM yesterday bitching and moaning that all he saw were groups with racists flags ranting racial slurs.

You're arguing with people who haven't left their mom's basement in almost 2 years. Probably only watch basic cable so they are forced to watch Covid Panic 24/Shity News Globalist News and the Communist Broadcasting Corporation.

I was there from 3pm till just after 10pm yesterday and again from 10am till noon today. I saw gadsen flags which people claim are racist because the idiot proud boys recently started using it like that deletes nearly 100 years of history.

I heard nothing at all racist from anyone. Someone was flying a soviet Russia flag which was cringe. The spelling mistakes on signs hurt me.

In Ottawa there was ONE nazi flag.
Out of 10,000 protesters the media focused on ONE idiot carrying a Nazi flag.
Let that sink in for a bit

Well that one flag represents an entire group don't you know......

 

[JuanGoodman]

Truckers are winning.

Global News report without even one Nazi flag.

 

[shack]

Do these protests look like fringe to you??

The pictures mean nothing in terms of scope. The country, as well as the trucking industry, is 90% vaxxed. They/we are fed up with the radical right, anti-vaxxed, but extremely vocal FRINGE.

They do not in any way represent the typical Canadian.
