Canadians Clowning Around

The majority of the funding is coming from the US.

Remember the shenanigans with funding from “we build the wall” that Bannon was eventually pardoned for?

American donors to trucker convoy may be outnumbering Canadians: CTV News analysis

A fundraising effort for the trucker convoy occupying Ottawa streets and making demands of the Canadian government has hit more than US$8 million, with an analysis by CTV News showing that donations appear to be pouring in from south of the border.

Russia is moving on Ukraine. Canada is a NATO country. The strategy is to disrupt a NATO country and it’s ability to react quickly by forcing the evacuation of someone like Trudeau, and hope the same sh!t catches on in the US.

Or maybe this is all just coincidence.

The so-called Freedom Convoy was never about truckers, or border mandates - Truck News

Truckers who participated in a cross-country convoy culminating in protest at Parliament Hill this weekend have been duped into believing the convoy was

Also the account behind organizing many of the groups on FB was hacked:

The entity behind some of the largest Facebook groups supporting the protests is an unknown person or persons who used the Facebook account of a Missouri woman. She says her account on the platform was hacked and stolen.

The account launched a handful of Facebook groups for the protest, all between Jan. 26 and 28, before the trucker convoy reached Ottawa. With a combined following of more than 340,000 members and more than 7,500 posts, the group names were variations on a theme: “Convoy to Ottawa 2022,” “Convoy for Freedom 2022,” “Freedom Convoy/Ottawa 2022 for Canada,” “Freedom Convoy 2022” and “2022 Official Freedom Convoy to Ottawa.”

Facebook groups are organized by administrators. Grid found that the only administrator account for these groups belonged to the Missouri woman. Reached briefly by phone on Monday, she said her account was hacked and she was not involved with the groups.

The hacked account and suspicious donations behind the Canadian trucker protests

Hundreds of people have been camped out in the icy streets of Ottawa, Canada’s capital city, for more than a week, occupying the area around the nation’s government buildings. It’s a protest ostensibly stemming from some Canadian cross-border truckers’ objections to a Canadian requirement that...

If the truckers are blocking the road we can kill them, right?

oh, sh!t, where's our favorite muppets on this one!??!?!

Yes

Gotcha fail

You get to kill as many of those as you killed of the BLM rioters when they controlled the streets and burned and looted and vandalized.

That's how many you get to kill.

As for what the truckers deserve, they deserve to be handled equally to how the BLM protesters were treated when they stepped off the curb to take to the streets. Every one of them is subject to arrest and fines, and they get what they get. If they weren't willing to take that risk then they should have stayed off the street.

common ground!

Those dummies should be getting compounding fines.

Just let that hang over their heads all calm.

There have been a good number of civil disobedience types who have been willing to accept the arrests and penalties for blocking traffic or trespassing. They're putting their well-being where their mouths are. You can't really fault them for that.

The DAs and the courts don't always treat the offenders equally, though. They exercise their discretion, which can lead to the type of moral hazard that enabled (for example) the mistaken belief among the 1/6 rioters that they would be handled the same way some of the other rioters had been handled elsewhere across the nation in 2020.

Big mistake on their part. But no matter, they still get what they get.

At least they've been smart enough (so far) as to not wander onto an Interstate-5 freeway at night to block traffic in the dark. Or to stop motorists at gunpoint, only to get shot in the face for their troubles.

Which other "riot" involved protesters raiding an occupied government building?

If anyone thought that rummaging through offices of Congressmen and women would yield the same punishment as throwing a brick at a courthouse window at night should have realized the difference.

 

[GDaddy]

Like I said, big mistake on their part. Attempting to burn the building down with people inside (like in Portland) might have yielded a more "empathetic" response. Or not.

Has anyone pointed out that the same people who once wanted to let American’s with comorbidities die for the sake of the economy are the same people cheerleading truckers shutting down the economy over masks and vaccines? Tell me how any of this makes sense.

 

[Phi1]

the Canadian Trucking Alliance (CTA) estimates that only 10 percent of the country's truckers remain unvaccinated.

Dear 10%, learn to code.

Canadian 'Freedom' Truckers Protest Vaccines As 90% of Drivers Vaccinated

When the convoy arrives in Ottawa on Saturday, Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau will still be completing his five-day quarantine.

Those folks were charged and convicted with sentences consistent with most of those charged on 1/6.

Intellectual consistency is often lacking among dim witted reactionaries.

It's Reflexive Opposition. They are just opposed to everything the elites/governments/academics support. Doesn't matter what, they just automatically hate it, because they hate them.

 

[Kento]

We all suck. With a thread title like this and nothing of Boozy the Clown?!

I think the truck drivers are just lonely and need someone to hear them or at least give them a hug and then all will be well. Maybe Sturgis can spare a few furries?
