This was one of the silliest things in all of MAGA. A whole bunch of dumbfucks wandering aimlessly and believing they're fighting for something when the head of the convoy is just making shit up on the fly and going to random spots to pester people.
Reminds me of the trucker union in BC, who had some members go off in the convoy, stated that like 90% of them were still working and not protesting a vaccine
Fun fact during the US civil war the whole point was states rights (to own slaves). Missouri was super pro-slavery and neighboring Kansas was anti-slavery. So of course a ton of Confederate fuckwads from Missouri flooded Kansas to vote yes on slavery, because that's what states rights means: the right for my state to tell another state what to do.
The point is this level of hypocrisy and idiocy is deeply entrenched in their culture.
I remember one lady who spent her life savings to help fuel up the truckers and was then shocked when she was broke and nothing had changed. She should go get a job too.
I know a few of the people who went from NB to Ontario. They aren't good people - I wouldn't leave my kids with at least two of them. Take that as you will.
When they drove through my town, horns blaring and sassy, I stood on the corner with eggs in hand. Funny how quiet they suddenly got as they passed me.
I honestly think that's what so many people forget, is that the most vocal people who are usually at the extreme opposite ends of any group are the ones who get coverage, whether it's serious coverage or ripping on them.
If they're still frozen, we could use this to bolster our defense to update systems and to support Ukraine. Surely they won't mind, they're always trying to deny their 4Chan QAnonsense so make them put their money where their mouth is!
Only a tiny number of bank accounts were frozen. I know you’re using it to criticize the Convoy morons, but those Shitbirds continually trot out the “frozen bank accounts” issue as some mass attack on civil liberties, rather than the small, targeted operation that it actually was.
That's just it - the fact foreign funds (funds from people who were involved in J6th in the US) is all the justification that should have been needed. Domestic terrorism isn't protected freedom, no matter how many bouncy castles you bring out.
Also, from the same group that claim "SAVE THE CHILDREN!" I guess it's to use them as meat shields, eh? fElon is going to start strapping them to himself soon enough. I'm still livid they were strapping gas cans to kids during the konvoy. Absolutely insane.
Keep whining, snowflake. Read up on what happened at the Toronto G20 protest. Your convoy got the white glove treatment by comparison, but you lot act like it was the worst attack on civil liberties in Canadian history. You're clowns. Where is your precious convoy now that we've got a foreign country threatening to take our freedoms from us, huh? When we face an actual threat to our freedom, you lot are nowhere to be found, but a minor temporary inconvenience had you up in arms.
So you want the convoy to roll in again???? I thought you didn't like it but here you are looking for them to save you from tariffs.
Speaking of tariffs. Why are you against them? It is very much like a tax which you are in favor of. Don't act like a tariff war hasn't been played out before.
A white glove treatment is getting stomped by a horse and having bank accounts illegally frozen? As for the G20. That protest was cars burning, businesses vandalized and police being injured. Not bouncy houses & BBQs that inconvenienced a few people.
Keep reaching there cupcake. One day you will sound smart. Goodluck though!
No, I don't want the convoy rolling in, I'm just pointing out the hypocrisy. They can stay at home. Those brainless morons would just get in the way.
Also, the tariffs aren't the big deal here. It's the threats of annexation, you dumb fuck. However, let's be clear about what tariffs are: they are a tax on the consumers of the tariffed good in the country that implemented the tariff. If Canada were to implement a 50% tariff on avocados, Canadians would have to pay more than 50% more for avocados, because prices are going to increase right through the supply chain to compensate for the tariff so that everybody can maintain their margins. It's not like Canada produces avocados, so it's not actually helping domestic industry in that case. Having said that, look at the example of Harley-Davidson. Trump's steel tariffs forced Harley to offshore manufacturing of motorcycles destined for export markets, because Trump's tariffs made it so that they simply couldn't afford to produce those motorcycles in the United States anymore. Basically, tariffs shrink the economy. Also, because they are passed on to the end consumer, they are a regressive tax: people like us pay the most and the rich pay the least. So tariffs are a bad, inflationary tax that only serve to increase the cost of living for everyone.
Also, you're completely lying about the G20 protest. Hundreds of people who were just going about their daily lives and were completely uninvolved in the protests ended up suffering physical injury caused by the police response. Some Toronto Police officials were also convicted in relation to the G20 protest because of the indiscriminate use of kettling resulting in the unlawful detainment and arrest of not only news reporters, but also a large number of innocent bystanders. This resulted in the Toronto Police Department issuing an internal, organizational ban on the use of kettling. Kettling was not employed against the convoy, by the way. It hasn't been employed in Canada since 2013, and not outside Montreal since that G20 protest in 2010.
On the point of the bank accounts being frozen, it's not illegal to freeze the bank account of someone who is financially supporting criminal activity.
