There will be many history books written on what has happened and is about to happen. I hope I get to read them, maybe I will even write one. This will be an impossible subject to wade through due to the very charged reality of what has gone down. Preconceived perceptions are broken. I respect Bill Maher's opinion: ▶ this video I respect Jimmy Dore's opinion: link One of the best objective timelines I have read on this subject to date: link
This is the latest: link Joe Rogan: "Handsome fellow, kind sensitive guy" is pretty accurate. Something happened in 2019 where he went off the rails and is now being called a dictator and it is reasonable. Maybe hitler is too far, but it's Trudeau's own words that he was planning to not allow antivaxxers to be part of society. Hence Bill Maher's video. Here's is 1 of Russel Brand's videos: link Bill Maher: ▶ this video The gist of what happened. In the USA all but 7 states lifted all mandates. UK and much of europe had dates set to end the mandates or ended them already. Trudeau on the otherhand in January 2022 increased restrictions putting thousands of people out of a job. Mostly bipoc because race plays a significant role in the remaining antivaxxer communities. Trudeau knew race played a significant role and before the convoy showed up in ottawa, he started calling them white supremacists and racists. Meanwhile the mostly punjabi truckers thought it was pretty hilarious to be called white supremacists with unacceptable views. link Trudeau wouldn't even send a staffer to speak with this legitimate protest. Not once would he meet with them. Instead he initiated a never before used national emergency, whose requirements is that ANY other law must be used before this one. That declaring national emergency cannot be used to crush a protest. That's exactly what they did. Obviously gone much further than when the canadian police arrested indigeonous over protesting pipelines. O
>You grossly exaggerate throughout your post. Not exaggerated though is it: link Lantsman used Trudeau's words against him. "Conservative Party members can stand with people who wave swastikas. They can stand with people who wave the Confederate flag," he said This is Trudeau himself saying it, I am not exaggerating anything at all. My comment being 'canadian media' who absolutely covered it much more. Canadian media absolutely covered it exactly how I said. link There was a grand total of 1 nazi flag and nobody ever positively connected it to the protest. The guardian may have tracked it down and they asserted that the flag was alleging that Trudeau is the nazi. Not that the flag holder themselves were nazis. I dont know if that is true or not. which hey, bill maher commented on Trudeau. ▶ this video To note, bill maher made this comment BEFORE he crushed the protest using force. >You are behaving exactly in the way that has discredited the protests. On the contrary. The protests never got discredited. They got smeared by the media. link One Indo-Canadian trucker, Kamal Pannu from Montreal, I spoke to, was bemused that the protestors were being bracketed as white supremacists when so many of them including he himself are ethnic minorities and people of colour. > Quit shooting yourself in the foot like a damn fool! Report honestly, and you’ll find that people will grant you more credibility. Here's an interesting reality. link Antivaxxers tend to be racial minorities. Why
Firstly, there is more money flowing to the peaceful protestors from other sources/channels than either the GoFundMe or GiveSendGo - which this myopic propaganda news piece (to go along with the hack/leak of personal data from GiveSendGo's database) of course that doesn't include critical thinking or discuss the broader context - and then people parrot the shallow narrative because they're not thinking for themselves, but just repeat what they see in mainstream - or upvoted to the top of Reddit, etc. Likewise, we only have the demographic data for GiveSendGo. I'd bet that if the GoFundMe donations weren't attempted to be stolen that the demographics of the original GoFundMe donors has a high probability of being mostly from Canadians - and that it was the news of those funds being stolen; The funds blocked and attempted to be stolen via collusion with the government; a war crime under the Geneva convention by the way, to prevent resources/support from getting to protestors, which Canada is a signatory to - which the police officers who stole fuel, gas and firewood, from the protestors will be held accountable for this, eventually; the Ottawa police who might I add aren't mandated to be vaccinated or lose their job, the hypocrisy is quite shocking but telling here. GoFundMe also broke their own standard protocol of not automatically refunding the funds to the donors - but instead saying they'd donate it their "pre-approved charities". This action very well could have outraged
For those who aren't aware of the dire situation with how badly our Charter of Rights and Freedoms has been unreasonably infringed upon by our government the last 2 years, including not even doing the due process required if they wanted to reasonably infringe upon it - which there is a method to doing so but which then requires public debate which Trudeau loves avoiding as part of his controlling the narrative, please watch Jordan Peterson and Brian Peckford discussing our constitutional crisis, as well as Peckford's filing a lawsuit against the Federal government a few weeks ago: "Canadian Constitutional Crisis | Brian Peckford | The Jordan B. Peterson Podcast S4: E78" - link (1+ million views since it was recorded/published Jan. 26th) Likewise, you can also go to link - where ~600 Canadian lawyers have signed, including law professors from our top universities including Queen's University - in hopes of educating Canadians that laws are being broken and due process not followed. If Canadian, please read it and ideally sign it if you care about the law. Trudeau is sounding and acting more and more like Hitler as time goes by [no, I am not comparing him to the full atrocities of the Nazis exterminating as many Jews as he could), and I'm not the only seeing the similarities between Trudeau and Hitler: "World-famous liberal commentator Bill Maher calls out Trudeau." - ▶ this video - posted to Pierre Poilievre's YouTube account, Pierre who is now running for the Conservative party
