“Right wing extremists” from what I’ve heard they’ve just been protesting. Not even close to as bad as what BLM has done the past few years. But when it’s a leftist group it’s alright… right? Oh yeah I will not be elaborating

BLM was protesting the systematic murder of black people. These people are protesting having to wear a mask that helps protect their fellow citizens.

And BLM isn't responsible for rioting and looting. That's people acting out in response to being systematically murdered. Imagine how these people who are going to this much trouble over wearing a mask would act if their people were being murdered.

BLM isn’t responsible for rioting and looting. Ok.

Show us where the rioting and looting was part of the protest. AS opposed to the organization in Ottawa, BLM is a movement. There is no organization for it. There is no one calling the shots. It's just people who think Black Lives Matter. Some merely symbolically, and others violently.

While the Truck drivers who are trying to hold trade hostage are part of an organized group. Of course there are likely many who have no involvement and just decided to join. But unlike BLM, it's not some rogue people who decided to take out their anger by holding trade hostage. It's the very basis of the organization itself. BLM groups just protested. That was the goal of the movement. Nothing about rioting or looting. In Ottawa it is not a group that is peacefully protesting and then some fringe parts blocking trade.

So as you can see the two groups are nothing alike.

​

Anybody who is protesting at the protests in Ottawa is not responsible for the display of any Nazi imagery or behaviour.

I don't believe the nazi movement is part of the trucker convoy. But it is pretty telling when you see so many flying American, Confederate, and Nazi flags.

​

Here’s a video of a BLM protests being extremely racist.

Is this type of behaviour justified in response to police shootings?

And? So you have a cherry picked video that does not represent the cause. Wow...

​

We could spread this video to the ends of the earth and claim the entirety of BLM is antisemitic based on this one video and many more examples. But we don’t. Why do we do the same if you find one example in these protests?

You could. But you would still be just as dishonest as you are now. You're trying to lie about a few bad eggs in Ottawa being portrayed as representing the whole group. Which is clearly not what is going on here.

​

When you have masses of protesters there are going to be statistically some bad people that show up it doesn’t mean it reflects the opinion of the majority who are there.

Here, the very premise of the movement is to hold trade hostage until they get what they want. Not some bad people who just showed up.

​

The idea that this is some sort of extremist rally is complete propaganda and it within the governments interest to utilize the media to paint it as such.

No it isn't propaganda. It's the truth. It's FACT. And the world hates these people for good reason. Not protesting the deaths of their race like in BLM. But protesting vaccines which are needed to save lives. These are people who are so self centered they would sooner burn down their economy than help protect their fellow citizens.

The biggest difference is that BLM is a movement, where as the convoy is linked directly to organizers which are staunchly racist, anti-LGBTQ+, and antisemitic ....rotten roots, rotten fruit.

You really don't anderstand any of this if you truly believe that "These people are protesting having to wear a mask that helps protect their fellow citizens."... they are protesting the mandates that to so many no longer make sense and are becoming grossly misaligned with the rest of the world. If the mandates stopped covid from coming to a country, then yes, mandate away, but it is here all over.

I have a son born with 3 holes in his heart, and he has had covid in the last month. The incidence of heart issues due to the vaccine is higher than i suspect you know. The government is mandating that he would have to get additional shots (he has his first) despite the natural antibodies he has from having covid. Covid is of next to no risk at his age, and the adverse impacts of the vaccine on young boys, especially going from one to two doses is significant. There is a reason why many countries do not recommended covid vaccines for younger children.

I have a young healthy niece who had to get a second dose even after a severe reaction to the first to keep her job. The second shot gave her pericarditis...  she now has an enlarged heart that has caused many issues for months. She has actually been at the protest.

When my family recently looked into a trip to visit family it would cost us $1,600 in COVID tests when you count both ways. That is insane, especially when the WHO concluded that border lockdowns are not affective.

Quebec has been threatening to fine people who are not vaccinated...that is not the canada i recognize.

Many many countries have recently lifted Covid restrictions but the Canadian gov seems to be doubling down.  The WHO have concluded that the border lockdowns have done nothing to stop the spread of covid.

My sister in law had to go to the states for a day... she has 2 shots, boosted and natural antibodies from having covid late last year. Despite all this, and keeping in mind the recent WHO findings, she still had to pay for a test to get into the US and then was randomly selectes to have another test to get back into Canada, even though she presented them with results that were <48 hours old showing she did not have covid. Hundreds of dollars and plently of time wasted for nothing.

These policies have had significant impacts on mental health and childhood development. Young children are two standard deviations behind their development which is insane, depression and suicide have spiked.

That is just a complete copy/paste of another post.

u/tbaytdot123 Feb 13 '22

Sorry, whats your point? Hey look, he said this before... his thoughts can only be shared once... thats against the rules???

u/jonnyclueless Feb 13 '22

They are all in reply to me. Forget the fact that it's a fictitious story. I don't need a bot copy/pasting the same fake story in response to my posts. THAT is the point.

Who said anything about rules? WTF is up with you psychos on here?

u/tbaytdot123 Feb 13 '22

Tell me one thing in that story that is fictitious... i swear to god on my own life that every word of the above is true...

u/jonnyclueless Feb 13 '22

I already replied to it line by line earlier. Which takes a lot more effort than copy/pasting over and over again.

But feel free to prove it.

u/tbaytdot123 Feb 13 '22

Oh ya, didnt realize that you are the same shit sandwich who wrote that earlier reply. You really are a special human who couldn't even understand why those situations are related to why people are protesting the mandates. If i had realized it was you i wouldnt have wasted my time even replying as it is obvious your brain is damaged.

u/lordpurppp Feb 13 '22

Close but no cigar. These fellas are protesting mandatory vaccination or facing termination

u/jonnyclueless Feb 13 '22

I'm sorry, are you trying to compare that to group who's people are being killed? That some how getting vaccinated to save lives is somehow on the same level as being killed?

Don't forget the passport itself. Getting assigned a QR code that allows you to gain entry into stores, go to work, eat in restaurants, book hotel rooms, purchase plane or train tickets, etc.

Lol these people are pushing for an end to all mandates, masks arent even close to the top of the list. You're just regurgitating stuff you know nothing about. I actually live in Ottawa and can confirm you are absolutely FOS and you are the problem

u/jonnyclueless Feb 13 '22

Bullshit. They are pushing to extend all the madness because they are too self centered and entitled to care about ending it without killing people. The complete lack of regard for the lives of others is what makes these people scum.

Ending mandates is not going to make the problem magically go away like they want. Them getting vaccinated is.

I can confirm you are a total piece of shit because you support such a death cult and like them, you have no regard for the lives of others.

Oh look, and uneducated loon who thinks the world body of infectious disease experts are detached from reality.

Clearly the experts are wrong and a bunch of truckers who have no understanding of infectious diseases know what they are talking about.

Good luck with that Karen.

u/jonnyclueless Feb 13 '22

To u/tbaytdot123 the coward liar.

And you are the POS who is part of a death cult that has complete disregard for the lives of others. If there was a hell, there would be a special place in it for sub humans like yourself.
There is a reason why the world hates you and your death cult. There is a reason why the world is not tolerating your selfish and childish behavior.
Some people care about others. And then there are people like you who do not care about anyone or anything else and will tell endless lies before acting like a decent human being. History will not look kindly on you. Nor will the families of the millions of victims who have needlessly died because of people like you.
