Whenever protesters over the past couple of years have blocked and impeded traffic most here think they should be summarily removed and/or imprisoned.

Now you, and many others in this thread, are applauding this protest, with one well-liked post early on saying they hope that every road is clogged for weeks.

So many of you are such hypocritical simpletons. Next time BLM protesters block a road you guys will be out like a pack of hyenas calling for the police to clear them.

Big difference in the principals of BLM vs the truckers. Not even close.

I am not talking about the principals but the methods.

Search "blocking traffic" and you'll see members on this forum widely hate the practice of forcibly recruiting the public into one's protest courtesy of blocking/impeding traffic.

No issues with these guys protesting. If they start blocking traffic and commerce they will incite derision of their cause--and well earned.

One example of many:

this Sunday, **protesters** are going to block 490

yep, a pre-planned road blockage is scheduled for this Sunday morning at Rt-490 and ( I believe) Clinton Ave. Protesters are going to stand across Rt490 in support of a bunch of block heads that think they have more rights then anyone else in the City of Rottenchester or, for that matter, in...

In this one dr evil even liked the post about clearing protesters. But here, since he likes this cause (and has as hardon for me), he's okay with them using the same nasty technique he didn't like there. :wave:

I got a load of promix on Wednesday and I said to the driver “surprised you came thought you’d be on the convoy” he says “ oh I got time to get back I’ll be in Ottawa on Saturday, and I’m vaxxed that’s not what it’s about. These ppl were eating tomatoes last January because of us and calling us hero’s. Now we’re loosing our jobs it’s gotta end here”. Good for him this guy was a 70yo Canadian with more balls then most 30 yo Americans! Many movements around the globe. The cabal might have overstepped on their timing

It's in one of the supply chain threads.

I say good. Screw em. The govt needs to have people mad at them.

I saw the propoganda ministry trying to rebrand this as truckers are protesting for safer highways. They are trying to change the narrative

So they can yell “Safer Highways!” The way we say “Let’s Go Brandon!”

None of these guys are standing in the middle of the road with the intention of blocking traffic.

They have explicitly stated they will go out of their way to allow emergency vehicles etc through.

If traffic is blocked due to their sheer volume, that is a different thing entirely.

If a bunch of truckers pull over and stand on highways blocking traffic and vandalize cars caught in their path or pull people out and best them, we would say the identical thing. If truckers behaved the same way as Blm we would say the same thing.
Blm riots and protests are different They are advocates for control. They are using violence and intimidation to achieve their goals. They are ironically the very thing they claim to hate they are facists.



This convoy is a means of peacefully protesting to get a point across without harming anyone. They are not blocking traffic. Surely traffic is far more congested than normal but in all those videos I just saw traffic is still moving. They are protesting because they are at risk of losing their ability to provide for their families and to do their job. They are trying to get a message through to the government. They aren't assaulting anyone. They aren't destroying anything. They aren't blocking emergency vehicles.

You can't corelate the blm protests to the trucker convoy protest. It's not even apples to oranges.

A Better comparison would be comparing the occupy wall street protests to the trucker convoy. The occupy wall street types were angry and protesting however misguided they may have been but from memory I don't think they didn't destroy or vandalize too much. They were more of a sideshow. No one was calling to mow them down out of the way.

BLM riots are meant to be violent and intimidating and they don't take kindly to random citizens caught in their path.

Does this make the words of support by perhaps the Deacon , Father of his church worth any less.... Point is a group of people that never gets involved with "outside " issues made a statement of support. Dealing with the overreach of government ... Almost to the point of an authoritarian government. .. Case in point...

Quebec Canada Bans Unvaxxed From Buying Groceries at Major Retailers Unless They Are Accompanied by a “Health Warden” Who Will Ensure They Only Buy Food and Medicine​


The Canadian Province of Quebec has officially banned unvaccinated individuals over 12 years old from shopping at big box stores, including Walmart and Costco, unless they are accompanied by a “health warden” that will supervise their every move and only allow them to purchase extremely limited goods such as food or medicine.
Even though the mandate explicitly excludes “grocery stores and pharmacies,” the Quebec government went ahead and included Walmart and Costco anyway after claiming that it does not consider groceries as Walmart and Costco’s “principal activity.”

Canada has gone full-tilt authoritarian over the common-cold-like Omicron.

Folks have had enough. When you see people lining the side of highways cheering the convoy on and it is -25 below zero .. It is a show of anger of the average person with the government policies. .... Folks have has enough.. Perhaps not everyone .. This is not about protecting your health anymore... It is about that boot on your face forever....

EXACTLY! They actually have their blinkers on! God forbid! Oh the humanity!

We have all seen how protesting works when the left is holding the cards. They "created" the narrative on Jan 6th. Now every protest against their policies is described as a coup de tat.
Already Canada is "preparing for violence" not the truckers, but the establishment.
All this talk about change and protest is fine as long as there is no derision or inconvenience to me. right?
Wrong. When enough becomes enough there will be disruption and maybe even worse. Look at the friggin world we are living in! Enough is enough. All we did in Albany was mess up the lawn and were painted with the same brush as the January 6th people. Prepare now and get ready to choose a side.

Opinion: Trucker convoy has evolved into something far more dangerous

Those with fringe views have taken it upon themselves to turn a vaccine mandate into a catch-all symbol of perceived threats to their freedom

As you watch the "coverage" showing Canadians not supporting the protest out of fear of "the virus" you must remember. The pandemic of "the virus" was the catalyst for exposing the inadequacies of the crappy Canadian Healthcare system which was in danger of being overwhelmed.
Why?
Because it is crappy. Just like Obamacare is crappy.
That is why the mandates were enacted. Even though "they" would say it was to save lives. They were lying. It was to cover their own inadequacies for fear of being exposed and unleashing a civil backlash.

When Cuomo used the people are going to die threat. Trump provided him the hospital beds, didn't he? When Cuomo cried that there weren't enough ventilators, Trump took action. Were they used? NO! He saw through the bullshit, adapted, and overcame. Finally in the end all that is left is "mandates": "comply or die".

If you still think this is about them caring about you, you are dumber than you look.

If Canadians want to cower in fear and give up what little liberty they had, so be it, but it sure looks like the "establishment" is pooping in their pants.

My friend, you are not really making your case.

Some things are worth being inconvenienced over and some things are not.

It got me thinking... what would've happened if Brandon's 100 employee mandate went into effect AND this?

Imagine all the people that lost their jobs that would gather up along with this too?!

It's fun thinking about this stuff when you see even just one sector of the industry get mandated.

Nothing against nurses, but honestly, they could've done the same thing. I don't want to say nurses are weak, trust me, there are plenty that vocalized their concerns, but it does prove a point that not all industries are the same.

I betcha they thought truck drivers were going to cave like nurses did. Boy oh boy were they wrong.

I am enjoying every minute of this. I like the fact that it's peaceful and it shows that people do care about one another.

The support of this convoy has been mind boggling ...Folks standing in -25 degree temps just to cheer them on .. That is support folks. Seems like every town they roll into crowds are cheering them on. People are tired of the over reach of the government .. Or lets say most people... This has woken people up across the world ... Push back against that new world order .... Build back better Brandon type of thinking
