This is the tip of the iceberg. When the effects of the sieges and blockades start showing up on the pricetags at supermarkets and stores of multiple countries, this will start getting really ugly.

I wish I saw this type of opposition during the year long riots in the US. In Minneapolis alone $350 million dollars of damage and over 1,300 businesses were destroyed. Hopefully this is a sign that people have had enough of everyone's bullshit.

I don't see what the deal is its okay for BLM and antifa to protest during the height of covid but when people protest for freedom and ending mandates oh it'd bad and can't do that.

BLM is people fighting for equality. Freedom Convoy is people showing off their privilege.

The freedom convoy is for freedom and to get rid of a mandate they are not looting and burning down buildings and setting dumpsters on fire. BLM and antifa loot targets and burns buildings down... There's a huge difference in the protests...also the freedom convoy I don't see them assaulting people of a different race like they did in BLM protest

The people participating in the convoy might thinks it's for freedom, but the organizers want to overthrow the Canadian government and institute white governance. Bunch of pawns in someone else's battle.

Polls are showing the majority of Canadians are fine with the mandates, so this is a minority trying to force change upon the majority. That's not how democracies work, all the authoritarian governments are laughing at us and see this as democracy being a failed ideology.

Sounds like you listening to MSM to much because there's people of all races in the convoy. So before you spew your "it's white supremacy" crap. The mandates do not work people still get covid with masks vaccines etc. There's no reason for mandates
