It started as a legit grassroots. But the so called leaders who set up the go fund me were in fact a combination of grifters and were looking at forming a new Western Right wing party. The money was going to be siphoned off for personal use and to do that, not for the Truckers.But the PM himself as well as the premier and other Liberal MPs are on record as saying it was organized by a far right movement trying to overthrow the government which it clearly wasn't
I agree the Liberals hyperbole was stupid and pandering to their own myopic base. Thats what politicians do. And lets face it, some of the yahoos at the protest were using that language. I saw it live.
The whole thing was an unneeded cluster fuck as lockdowns were basically over. But there were idiots on both sides. And I agree Trudeau was one of them. As was Sloly. And several of the protesters. No one was in the right here imo.
