Surprised there's no mention of this yet here. Is honking a horn more or less peaceful of a protest than BLM burning down entire city blocks? Can anything actually be achieved by simply tooting one's horn? Will the emotionally sensitive, open-minded, anarcho-communists living in downtown Ottowa be able to cope with such a strong showing of peace?

Discuss.

Man those protests really rattled you guys. Wonder which side you'd have been on if this was the 60's. Oh well. More are coming, don't worry.

A Woman dancing on the Tomb of the Unknown Soldier at the National War Memorial seems like a very far right productive protest. You show them Boomers!

The truckers and their supporters - were estimated to be in the thousands while An estimated 15 million to 26 million people participated in the 2020 Black Lives Matter protests in the United States

90% of Canada's 120,000 cross-border truckers are vaccinated, in line with the country's adult population. (also in the article)

Sorry the other 10% of the crazies feel their convoy is the best form of protest. *boggle*

It just seems and already has been said, "an insult to memory and truth" of the number of deaths to this virus.

The fact that the mainstream left in both the US and canada is trying to demonize these people as (wait for it) racist, fascist yada yada yada same old shit, is just hilarious to me.

They are literally siding with the establishment over the average worker. Specifically, people who bring you all the fundamental goods you need to live your life. And all they're protesting are mandates, they aren't anti-vax nuts or something. 90% of them *are* vaxxed, but they have principles. Good on them. Fuck establishment goons who are trying to stifle them, regardless of which party they come from.

The number of deaths to this virus is not at all clear. Even the CDC has said as much. They themselves have admitted there is no clear data on people who died from covid VS people who died from something else and had covid when they did. If you have brain cancer and die with covid, and a minor cold would have also easily killed you, that's counted as a covid death. The fear porn addicts never seem to give a shit about this though, they *insist* on distorting and exaggerating the actual danger of covid *itself*, as distinct from other factors. Turns out, it's not very dangerous at all to most people. Especially omicron.

Denial is the first step.

Starting to see the insidious nature of capitalist media companies and how they launder anti-labor classism while pleasing their corporate overlords and shareholders? Good

One of many reasons I say there is no such thing as an actual leftist mainstream media network, and why we laugh when y'all think that griping about CNN or MSNBC means a dang thing to anyone to the left of a plain ol' liberal

Dawg there's a whole ecosystem of ostensibly right-wing newsmans singing the praises of this direct aktion by the Canadian trucker unions.

Enjoy the little things.

If I lived in those apartments id be dumping buckets of poop and piss on those trucks like it was the renaissance era again.

I love that the truckers went downtown to blare their horns at libtards that live downtown lol but if I was there, holy shit.. that's what it'd be raining on them.

Id eat fast food every meal and just load those buckets up.
