Okay, so what is your point exactly if Trudeau does exactly the same as any other politician??
University Avenue Shutdown
- Thread starter Darts
- Start date
I have no problem with people who want to protest. That's the beauty of this country. It's when they start interfering with people's ability to carry on with their daily lives and earn a living. And right now, they're doing exactly that. It's gone from a protest to an occupation. Their decision to block access to borders and trade, which negatively affects people and the economy is where I draw the line.
Just in time shipments to auto manufacturing plants along with produce destined for supermarkets have been shut down and is putting people out of work. I'm sure the ones out of work and not getting paid would have a few choice words for these assholes. It's economic terrorism and they should throw their asses in jail. Same goes for Natives when they block rail lines or any other group that resorts to these tactics. GoFundMe? No, GoFuckYourself!
my point was related only to Ontario Because of the post I was replying to. Same applies to all politicians when relevant, as I said they all flip flop, including our Prime Minister.
Dougie just seems especially prone to it
Ah, so you're one of those guys who say: "Liberals do it too man, but conservatives do it more".
Is that the line you're going with??
And where were your objectionable posts when BLM protests paralyzed the US in 2019 and 2020??
Please post them
Ontario is shutting them off from foreign protest money, maybe this will slow them down.
I don't think using kids as human shields will help their cause.
I agree with you that occupation is not a good thing. However, they did not start on day 1, trucks did not appear in Ottawa from nowhere. The government fails to engage in meaningful dialogue and it is the reason protests are growing.
I'm sorry, what exactly am I going to lose? You somehow think I enjoy mandates and lockdowns? Have you not read anything I posted? I'm tired of this pandemic. But as of today, life is fairly really normal for me and most others. Besides the small inconvenience of wearing a mask from time to time, it's pretty much back to normal. And heading towards normalcy very soon.
Omicron does not appear to be as bad as Delta, which is a good thing. Keep in mind, it was first discovered just over 2 months ago. Unfortunately Ontario didn't have have a clairvoyant, such as yourself to advise them that Omicron would not be as virulent as Delta.
I hear what's going on in hospitals, from within. The Ontario Government weren't far off the mark when it came to their policies. Maybe a little slow to react, but their plan and overall message certainly hasn't endangered lives here. You only have to look to the US to see how not to do things. I'm talking about the overall pandemic. Don't tell me about this or that state or country that have eliminated a mask mandates (in the last few days) with the inference that they "see the big picture." That's the most short sighted view in history.
If you think I support BLM, you're dead wrong. Never been a fan of them, ever!
You wont' find one post from me in support of them. You're free to prove me wrong. I'm not wasting my time on that.
Wow, that's brilliant. Thanks for posting. Really says it all.You think anti vaxxers are just ordinary people?
Same fringe anti science crowd as ever.
The kids as human shields is pretty special. That tells you a lot about the Freedumb Rally supporters.

Why would any governing party entertain having a discussion with occupying lunatics? If you came home from work and found your home surrounded by a family asking you to move and leave the home for them, would you attempt to negotiate or want to grab a baseball bat or at the very least call the cops and hope they have the balls to actually do something and move them out.
And didn't we just have an election a little while ago? As much as I don't like Trudeau, we do have a democratically elected Prime Minister. Fuck these people are idiots!
You've appeared to be against the protests (based on your posts), and your'e gonna lose this because Trudeau (who's on your side) will cave soon.
Do I need to make this any clearer??
Maybe because it is the government and that are the citizens who protest? Maybe because we are not in Russia and we expect the government to listen to people and not dismiss their protests or use "baseball bats"? Maybe because it is the government job to talk to protesters to deescalate the situation? I did not see anything of that happened yet.
