Canadian trucker protest

[nakedfrog]

Can we send him to Canada for your patented maple boarding?

IronWoode is the Canadian, IronWing is an American

Oh yeah? The same thing happened here too. We faced huge mounting problems too due to the agitations and Trudeau was okay with all that happily lending support to protests. What makes your problems much more important than ours? India has gone through a solid year of those protests and Trudeau couldn't bear it for a fortnight. We won't forget this.

I'm not doubting that India had serious problems, and I'm not claiming they're less important. But they're still not the same conditions, and letting a group bring your capital city to an indefinite standstill is not really an option.

A better analogy: imagine if those farmers not only blocked off New Delhi's Parliament House, but also occupied several of the most important blocks of the city's downtown core. Moreover, they explicitly plan to terrorize every resident and business in those areas for an indefinite period, and use their children as human shields. Politicians can't do their jobs (in-person at least), virtually every shop in the area is forced to close, and you can't even safely walk down the street to get basic supplies. And that effective hostage situation has knock-on effects for the rest of the city. That's what Ottawa dealt with.

I'm ignorant here, what actual support did Trudeau provide to the Indian farmers? Be specific.

They never blocked it off. Traffic could always get thru including emergency vehicles.

We’ll I don’t know this India situation. But Canadian Trudeau haters calling him a hypocrite for supporting HK protests but then being a “dictator” during this pandemic. Like huge difference from repressive Chinese government to him having public health mandates to fight covid. How blind are these antivaxxers? Yes that’s rhetorical

I'm gonna indulge you this one time.

"Let me remind you, Canada will always be there to defend the rights of peaceful protesters. We believe in the process of dialogue. We’ve reached out through multiple means to the Indian authorities to highlight our concerns. This is a moment for all of us to pull together,"Justin Trudeau said.

Let me count the grave charges that have been so casually thrown at me just because I support Modi.

1. Machete Wielding

2. Muslim family murdering

3. Modi sucking

etc. etc.

Hyperbole much? Do you realize how ridiculous you sound? HA HA

You are the one making the claims, therefore you are the one that needs to back them up. Based on what you provided, he made a few comments. I don't see how him saying that he supports peaceful protest and then ending an illegal blockade make him a hypocrite, but sure whatever. You act like he was funding them or something.

...

You'll find the advent of modern communications, the internet, social media, et al. have driven people to insanity. Taking partisanship and ramping it up to absurd levels. Where everyone and everything that does not look, talk, dress, and act exactly like them is some evil demon spawn. An "other" to be labeled and disposed of. Conversation? Actual communication? Difficult these days. Mostly just noise and no signal. Hatred born of this insanity runs deep. And it is their hatred they communicate most.

I'd apologize for their behavior, but as a leaf in the wind, I do not think it will do much good.

You’re right being called those things is bad and unwarranted but Modi really is a horrible leader who is corrupting your democracy.

so, you praise the man (for what, exactly? actual numbers. let's see them) while accepting the genocide that he and his rabid supporters are perpetrating? That's...what you have to own.

Man, you sure love hyperboles. A genocide is going on India eh? Ha ha ha

Well, the Dictator ended the Emergency, thus ending one of the darkes....fuck it, some of my fellow Canadians don't have a clue as to how Good they got it. We don't do certain things here and a couple of those things are acting like Idiots and Barbarians.

Lol we can be just as stupid as the rest of the world. We’re just more courteous about it

You'd think they'd realize that using company trucks would get the drivers and their companies in trouble... then again, if they thought about their actions, they wouldn't have been involved in the occupation to start with.

The fact that you can lose your entire business based on your views or your participation in a peaceful protest is not something that should be celebrated no matter which side you're on. This is the kind of shit Russia does to it's people, it's sad to see it here too.

Consider if it was the other way around, a conservative government in power, and losing your business because you used your truck to participate in a LGBT parade. Basically same thing.

They have essentially made protesting illegal by attaching consequences to it. This is not something we should be celebrating at all. I know you people don't care about freedom but I'm sure at some point there will be a protest about something you care about, how would you feel if they also punished those people?

The truckers who participated are basically martyrs. They've started a movement, and finally we are actually seeing some of the overreaching policies being lifted a bit at a time. It's up to rest of us to continue to fight at this point. They're already talking about bringing back all this crap in spring, so this is not exactly a victory, just a small step in right direction.

I missed the last LGBT parade that shut down a city center and disrupted international trade for weeks. Can you please link up an example?

I'm wondering the same thing. But the guy does not make rational comparisons. For example he has a Let's Go Brandon in his signature but thinks P&N is messed up. I mean the whole slogan implies Fuck You, so no debate, no thinking, no facts, no reason.

As we can see from his comparison to an LGBTQ parade, facts and reason are just an inconvenience to the right wing and have been for some time
