Why we do hate the Protesters?
- Thread starter Plan B
- Start date
Indeed!
Further Plan B, seemingly you have a problem with the concept of democracy. Most of the electorate in Canada does not agree with the viewpoint of those protesting, so their solution is to riot and destroy others property?
Yes, they have a right to "Peaceful" assembly, to set up political parties, to vote. Not to destroy other's property, attempt to distrupt meetings, and/or attack police.
France will be terrible. Not only did they lose in soccer ("the boring game") but they just raised the retirement age to 59 or something like that. They are in a foul mood. Thank goodness, they haven't won a war since Napoleon's retreat.
Actually I don't mind protesters. At least they have the balls to go out and voice their discontent. I draw the line at violence. A bit of property damage is probably unavoidable. I think the Govt should fully compensate businesses which have suffered damage though.
Do we really want to compare Canada to France?!
They have great cuisine, wine and spirits and lovely art and architecture but once one has said that . . . .
Thats cause their tanks only had reverse gears
I thought that was the Italians.
French soldiers always fought well throughout history but often were badly commanded.
If De Gaulle would have been head of the French Army in 1939, things might have been different as he championed 'blitzkrieg' tactics in a military treatise that he wrote prior to the war.
We are simply taxed to much, to the point, where there is a disincentive to make more money...and when there are too many taxes, the underground economy flourishes. Many things are now bought under the table, simply because people are tired of being robbed by the government. When a billion dollars are spent on the G20 security, you can make the conclusion that your government isn't exactly being efficient in how they use our money.
The reason we are overtaxed is because of the inflated wages and rich pensions of government workers. It's not complicated.
Maybe the protesters ( to be specific the ones burning cars, throwing rocks etc) garner so much heat because when it comes to their rights ( right to protest etc ) the laws are absolute , but when it comes the vandalism , disturbing the peace, destruction of private property etc, the laws are suddenly no longer absolute.
Plan B, you should put on a suit and tie, grab a big Starbucks coffee and go downtown. See how much your beloved protestors value and respect your freedoms and liberties.........
I appreciate protesters standing up for what they believe - they aren't the ones with the masks causing the violence.
I think the anarchists are the ones causing all the problems and should be dealt with as harshly as possible.

You don't appear to have the slightest ability to understand that there are different types of protestors here and that the ones that are causing the destruction and violence have no cause, are neither Conservative or Liberal, and have no real regard for the other peaceful demonstrators.
Until you can distinguish those with a legitimate cause or point of view and those that simply thrive on being anti-anything how can you raise a legitimate question or form a rationale opinion?
They prefer mindless sheep who do as ordered!....
No shortage of sheep around here....
