Hey to all the homies north of the border- I just popped on reddit and saw something about a "freedom coney" of vehicles descending on Ottawa. Is this actually happening or is it a media hyped thing? If happening, is it a big deal?
-
Its happening, its big, but the media is hyping it up to be way bigger than it is, right wing politicians making up lies about empty grocery store shelves, stirring up fear. It began as a protest against the vax mandate for cross boarder truckers(its the same policy that the us has) now a bunch of fringe right wing movements have latched on. The more time that passes, it looks less like a grass roots movement, and more like a bunch of idiots being duped by dark right wing money. Its a very vocal minority. If you are watching it all day on Facebook or Instagram, it seems like a real movement, if you continue to live your life, it's whatever. I'm not on social media so I feel free from this.
These people are comparing a vax mandate to eat inside with the holocaust.

Some people are reporting 250,000 trucks are in this convoy, and others have reported that there are only a few trucks. My guess is that there are a lot more than a few..and if that's the case people are going to learn to really respect truck drivers real fast.
Edit: Posted the same exact time as Beeda..now we know what's really going on.
-
I have heard 300 trucks from a credible source, but it could appear larger as they pass through the GTA.

I was just reading the same thing, and that regular vehicles are mixed in.

my friend said its mostly lifted trucks and busted up dodge caravans.

Hahaha! Well there ya go

Initially read that as "Dark Wing Duck" and laughed

It’s going to be much smaller than it’s supposed to be, and should they get to Ottawa, they’ll show up to an empty building.
Parliament is in recess right now.
It started as a grassroots movement, now right-wing grifters have latched on.
Most of us are fucking sick and tired of hearing about it. I have never had to block so many people on IG than in the last two days. Not that I agree/disagree with them, they’re just fucking annoying and stupid. Jewish stars, Trump/Q Anon flags, you name it, it’s there.
Even if Trudeau allowed them to get into Canada un-vax’d (because that’s what it started as)… you need to be vax’d to enter the US. Seems they don’t know Canada can’t change US laws.
Shipping hasn’t stopped a single second where I work, and we get over 100 trucks a day.

Same, the only thing effecting my supply chain is a covid out break at one of our suppliers in the us.
A few right wing politicians have been sharing stock images of empty shelves as scare tactics, that is all they know, FEAR
Also, the original organizer pulled their $1 million donation from the go fund me.

I have some friends in Windsor, Canada where the convoy started. They said the truckers were blasting their horns all day/night for several days straight and the noise could be heard quite a distance away.
These guys are wack and so is anyone that supports them.
-
idk but those 2 words back to back got me hard
-
hope a bunch of dudes driving trucks fixes inflation
-
is anyone else impressed that the right rarely bothers to get out of their cars/trucks?
They seem to do more "marches" in their heated/air conditioned automobiles than outside of them.

What a waste of fuel.

Was working in the Cambridge area yesterday and the overpasses on the 401 were chock full of these peeps. Upside down Canadian flags, Fuck Trudeau banners and signs stating that "Canada isn't free anymore". Convoy and supporters were loud (honking horns/revving engines) but as earlier posters stated it supposedly started with concerns over the border controls, but the US has ramped their controls as well...so it's morphed into "all Mandates must stop!". However with the US also changing the rules and with things (at least here in Ontario) starting to open back up as of Feb 1st it's really just a way of people who look like they'd shop at 2 Felons to rage against the Feds.
Not a good look for Singh's brother in law to have donated when there are multiple accounts of convoy peeps slinging not too veiled threats to MP's.
Sorry this was disjointed- been a long ass week of working in -20plus Temps.

One of my friends from Ottawa got high on mushrooms and went to see what it was like. He Face Timed me late last night to tell me it was much smaller than expected, about 100-120 trucks and mostly lifted pick-up trucks and a few confused Corolla's. Apparently a lot of people were unprepared for the cold Ottawa weather (-25 last night, -35 with the wind chill today). Ton of drunk people everywhere, some were singing the American national anthem, QAnon and Trump flags, some from the west were beefing with Quebecois etc.... They're quite noisy, but he lives about a 15 min walk away from where they are and he can't hear them since there's not too many of them.
He says traffic-wise, it's no different than regular-ass Friday rush hour traffic and even then it's not too bad. If you've been to Ottawa you know the traffic can be ridiculous for such a small city. They're supposed to be getting more trucks in today but let's be honest, it'll be a pathetic turnout.
It's so pathetic it's beautiful, almost brings a tear to my eye.

What is the main goal of this anyways?

Not exactly, but I have noticed the connection they seem to make between freedom and ownership, namely guns and trucks.
-
There claiming they have 50k semis coming to parliament
But it’s actually closer to 2000 vehicles in total not just trucks. 2 white nationalists with a history of defacing blm murals started the movement. Lots of cringe coming from these protests like conservative rappers lip sinking songs about freedom. Makes me sick that conservatives raised millions in cash donations and thousands of donated groceries just to give to people who are already wealthier than 50% of the population. Imagine if we put that food and money towards feeding and housing ontarios homeless population.

I try to keep a level head and have posted in this thread already...but these clowns parking on the grounds of the National Centoaph (which includes the Tomb of the Unknown soldier) and screwing around with a statue of Terry Fox can fuck right off. Don't park in a war cemetery and claim patriotism and don't try to claim an anti cancer hero who was immunocompromised for your anti vaxx shit.

Its almost like the people who are going to be on the wrong side of history have no knowledge of the subject...
Something something doomed to repeat blah blah blah....leave me alone Im trying to watch this hot girl twerk with an m4 on tik tok.

I found that there is a lot of noise in the Canadian media that is seriously lacking analysis about how this movement started, who started it and the organizers behind it. I can recommend this podcast and statement from the Canadian Anti-Hate Network to give a good understanding of what's going on.
https://www.antihate.ca/the_freedom_convoy_is_nothing_but_a_vehicle_for_the_far_right
https://www.canadaland.com/podcast/749-truck-nutz/
edit: Gotta shoutout Canadaland and their subsidiary podcast themes/episodes, they do a great job of news analysis and story telling for the bullshit that goes on in the country.
-
“If you got it, a truck brought it” has taken on a new meaning now that they’ve mounted a cross-country protest during a pandemic, in the middle of flu season.
-
Apparently someome took a shit on the tomb of the Unknown Soldier. Terry Fox’s statue was also fucked with yesterday.
This made me real mad this morning.
-
everything aside, they closed rideau so no one can skate p3 to my knowledge. i guess i will sit inside and begrudgingly listen to the honking all day instead.
-
It's just bullshit, total bullshit.
Protesting mandates that are designed by health professionals to keep us safe during a global pandemic. I don't get it, I don't understand how someone feels so opposed to this. You're seriously protesting against tests and safety measures?
Had to unfollow a Canadian pro on insta whose skating I respect, because he's so into the convoy.

i bowed my head in defeat when i saw he followed ben shapiro and steven crowder on twitter. the support of the convoy came as no surprise with that in mind though

Many of the key organizers are racist, anti immigration, and far right. I’m from the west coast in a hippy town, and it amazes me how many people I know are getting behind this. I get people being upset or disagreeing with vaccine mandates, but allying yourself with racists is lending them your own voice, and trying to act like that is justified is hard for me to understand.

truth. not saying deadheads and hippies are the fastest on the uptake, but I've spent a better part of my adult life in the grateful dead related scene, lots of yoga too, and I've been really, really bummed out to see so many people falling in with the far right.
when looking at the trajectory of growing fascist movements in European history after WWI, there was a lot of support from youth movements and fringes of the more radical left (while of course being funded by the industrialists, capitalists, and power brokers). Sometimes folks want change so bad and feel so disenfranchised that they can't see everything that comes with that particular form of change. I see a lot of that happening lately

i had a brother at my job tell me covid was not real and “came from the sun” today. i don’t care what world you live in, but we can’t help you without a mask homeboy..

this guy believes it to be grift. not a skater but compares it to fruitboots and says ezra levant and others are using to grift.

What a fucking bummer. I've seen him a few times at DunBat and he was always friendly/respectful. I also watched him get insanely high before the game of skate with Ishod. I was impressed he was soo good while insanely high.
Finally, just at note, the NYTimes podcast was discussing current left/right reactions to the pandemic. The guest explained those on the left might be overly worried (considering we are younger and vaxxed) and the right might be reckless in their disregard (as they are older and not vaxxed). I'm not saying the truth is directly in the middle, but there needs to be some give for those of us who got vaxxed and took this shit seriously from the start. Maybe, we've earned the right to be a little less worried?

This sounds pretty on point to me. People here keep saying “it’s not about the politics”, but the rhetoric and people involved are highly political and it’s hard not to see it.
There is apparently also a blockade in Alberta preventing access by vehicle to a border crossing. Truckers preventing other truckers from working in a real solidarity move.

It's kind hilarious how some of the older generation is painting the younger people as soft for taking covid serious. I am speaking for myself when I say that I take it serious not for my own health. I don't worry at all, I am not overweight and I exercise regularly. I take it serious because I don't want anyone else to have to deal with serious health consequences/death because of my actions. . If we (menials and gen z) were just saying fuck it, they'd likely be a little bit more upset that 10-20% of their friends were dying.

I think there's a lot of folks who don't see that EVERYTHING is political, especially at this point in time. Looking at history, and again, I'm keyed up as I'm reading a book on the origins of fascism after WWI right now, in their individual or group pursuit of safety (based on real or subjective threats), resource acquisition (homes, food, $, work,), individuals and individual groups often become unwitting foot soldiers for groups who most certainly have other interests.
I mean, there has been a massive and seemingly instant transfer of wealth that's taken place in the past 2 or so years. That's undebatable, right? And in line with free and global trade initiatives, first in Canada and more recently the US, homes have become a sort of untraceable and simultaneously tradable asset for the wealthy, stock markets, and international investment groups. Throw in the untaxed or minimally taxed wealth/property/asset transfer from the so-called Boomer generation to their kids that's happening right now and see that families who were already well off are growing in wealth. Here's an interesting piece, right, because the recipients of generational wealth are fighting tooth and nail to avoid paying taxes on it, thus pushing them to align with the far-right and the classes or groups without assets period are also pissed, but are manipulated to be pissed at something rather irrelevant like vaccine mandates or immigration, thus leading them increasingly to align with far-right groups.

I live in downtown Ottawa and nobody wants them here. They shit on the street, harass locals, threaten locals, their antics have made businesses and the mall downtown to shut their doors for the safety of staff. They piss on memorials that honour the veterans that fought for their freedom they hold so dear. They raid homeless shelters for food. They hold "My body my choice" signs but change their tone when asked if that extends to abortion. They throw shit and beer cans at windows and homes with pride flags. The honking for those living next to it is driving them insane, reducing ability to sleep and work while terrifying pets and young children. The key leaders of the movements are racists, white supremacists, and scam artists (the person that started the go fund me is currently missing after finally getting some of the funds released ::) )
This is the most idiotic thing I have seen in a long time. The USA has their own mandates so even if they get what they want they still cant enter the states. 90% of canadas truckers are fully vaxxed so these are just some losers LARPing like they are doing something important, worried that ANTIFA is around every corner. They claim they are doing it for their children while simultaneously keeping their children in the shit camp downtown, losing sleep and not attending school and likely unable to shower or have access to bathrooms.
Oh and they say its ok to support Nazis if thats what youre into: https://imgur.com/a/uXIH4Pb#sQ9PnZn

i seen a comic that has a commie going 'workers of the world unite' and then in response to convoy 'not like that!'
what do people think of that? should we be down for it because it's workers united? if they were convoying for better wages or medical, would it be different?

Would you be down for them if they were spouting anti-immigration or anti-islam tropes instead?
They are just being astroturfed into supporting the wrong cause. Feel free to join in, but I'm not going to play victim when I am victimizing people like they are.

Hillier? Never in a million years....dudes suspenders would do a better job running a political party - hmm maybe I should have said "holding a country up". But I also said Trump would never win the Republican nomination either. But yeah a swing farther to the right is in the cards, which may pull in votes from the PPC.

O'Toole sucked, but he wasn't as bad as these other kooks, he had some fairly progressive views for a conservative. Dude was kicked out for not being "Conservative" enough. Also had the charisma of a tree stump which didn't help.
Pierre Poilièvre is my guess, the (not too far) right seem to love him as he's more to the right than O'Toole, and the batshit crazy love Maxime Bernier of the PPC who's out of his fucking mind.
As long as the right keep dividing their base I'm cool with that, they won't have a chance in hell.

Yes, it would be different.
Worker-led movements throughout the centuries have usually been inspired by both real-life circumstances and a critique of the current situation. The depth of the critique is usually determines the strategy, and what is demanded.
For example, in the last 1800’s spiked were held in opposition to the absolutely horrific working conditions and long hours.
For some people, the goal was more money for the labor and improved working conditions. But people with a more radical critique wanted to abolish the whole system period, and to work towards that they demanded shorter days (gaining them more time to organize and eventually push for more and more). This is the origin of our 8-hour workweek. And with automation everywhere, there is no reason it can’t be made much, much shorter.
Depending on how accurately the workers understand the situation (on a scale from QAnon to Chomsky), they will either work towards misguided goals that may have a few short-term benefits (and in some cases, a net step backward), or they can do something completely revolutionary and create new possibilities for moving society forward.
As a few of the leaders on the convoy are QAnon followers, i don’t really trust their judgement.

Preach dudes @Stu Pickles @JANUS much love to Ottawa, man I miss Hog’s Back Park.
I’m seeing people I know post stuff on insta in favour of the convoy and, it fucking sucks. My ex-wife didn’t want me to get vaccinated, now this shit…

Pierre Poilièvre is the name i keep hearing as the candidate everyone wants, and I hope not. The guy is a massive tool and misrepresents everything to boost his following.
Locals are getting more and more restless, will be interesting to see what happens this weekend with more truckers arriving and a counter protest being organized. There has been lots of awful behaviour and harassment from the protesters but as far as I know, no serious destructive vandalism like breaking windows etc or physical violence, but that won't last forever. Convoy organizers and leaders are using more and more militant language and threats. Police are doing nothing and they are out of ideas, I really don't see an end to this anytime soon.
@JANUS there has been some sessions going down at holland cross. I gotta call Top and see if their miniramp is open

Some of these chucklefucks here in Quebec want to start a convoy to Quebec City and paralyze the city during the weekend. Right as the winter Carnival is starting, just as we’ve been locked up all winter.
We have a big leftist population here, especially downtown, I’m guessing tensions will be very high, wouldn’t be surprised to see some beef. Quebecois are very fucking vocal about things or people we don’t like. Don’t know if you guys know of the 2012 student protests, but shit can get crazy quickly here.
Whole thing is run by a bunch of goons. The guy in charge is nicknamed “Rambo”, and he’s in tight with a very far-right group named “La Meute” (The Pack), charming people as you can see. Everytime they show up, the leftists, Antifa, Black Bloc and Jaggi Singh’s crew from Montreal usually show up. Things should be interesting and I’m damn glad I don’t live downtown.

At this point if there is ever a melee like that I want camera crews and announcer’s to make it more interesting. Fuck..make it PPV, I will gladly pay to watch all these idiots physically fight til death. No weapons though, just hand to hand combat. Both sides are really changing the world for the better…so kudos to them.

just to be clear to everyone who might not be following super closely, these are domestic terrorists. they are using intimidation, occupation, and the blockading and resulting shutdown of civic operations and businesses to achieve their demands. this is not just a protest. living in ottawa you see all kinds of protests from across the political spectrum, this is not a protest.
Inspired by the ottawa occupation, truckers headed to the coutts boarder crossing in alberta and shut down all lanes at the crossing. This is super illegal and RCMP negotiated them to open 1 lane each direction. This is not just about vaccines and mandates.
The main trucking organizations in canada have condemned this movement, it is a very small minority of truckers receiving lots of support from outside of canada. they are dumb as shit larpers following very open white supremacists but will say they are not white supremacists.

I was talking with my pop about this as he deals with some folks in different regions of Canada on a pretty regular basis. About the Quebecoi he deals with he said "he seems like a tough little dude. real great guy who said "we don't give a fuck about these assholes. let em try. they won't win."" I know it's a stereotype and quite incorrect but my imagination right now is creating this short, burly French Canadian fur trappers from the 1800s battling on both sides.
Speaking of occupations, any y'all been following the Wet’suwet’en land defenders over the past couple of years? These folks are holding as strong as can be https://itsgoingdown.org/canadian-tire-fire-26/ (https://itsgoingdown.org/canadian-tire-fire-26/)

are the water/pipeline protesters terrorists? i don't see it as much different than that. also, the one guy who had a confederate flag was told to leave by regular truckers [agent provacateur?]. word on the street is most canadian truckers are somali or some other immigrant. most of the people i see are white but it's something i heard. isn't this kind of standing up for what you believe in? also, they've left one lane open for emergency and other vehicles so it's not like when people take over a highway or block a thoroughfare.
i'm not convinced one way or the other but i think it's refreshing to see a protest that's not college kids/ne'er do wells, etc and actually blue collar people.

pipeline protesters are not terrorists, and the response they were given was thousands of times harsher than what these truckers have to deal with. they were blocking an international boarder crossing and only let open the lanes after the RCMP asked nicely. sure the nazi and confederate flags were small in number but when you got pat king and tamara lich acting as recognized organizers and leaders you cant tell me this movement doesnt have racist undertones

the dudes in the mines fighting pinkertons prolly had to deal with the spanish flu, don’t recall this happening back then. feel free to correct me. i don’t think they are comprising the same strata of person as the guy who owns a successful HVAC company and believes he’s an exceptional millionaire in training who has transcended society
it’s over though. even if your goofy hollywood movie biovirus baby brain worldview is right you aren’t getting pussy/dick from anyone except total dogs unless you’re vaxxed. you tried to warn us but it’s too late dude. big pharma wins again, just like they win jacking up insulin prices and stuff that doesn’t get the “working class” at buffalo wild wings hooting

I enjoy this big pharma controls everything (including all governments around the world) narrative.
I'm not a fan of the pharma companies, but to think they have more power than the oil/gas industry, the transportation industry, the restaurant industry, the sports industries, education, and all the other industries impacted by the pandemic is beyond fucking stupid.
If you think Russia (who made their own vaccine) or Saudi Arabia or China or Australia or Azerbaijan shut down and favored Pfzier over Rosneft, Armaco, Sinopec, Glencore or SOCAR you are living on another planet.

Looks like they're coming here to Toronto Saturday.
Police have told any medical workers to hide their uniforms while traveling to work.
I work at the mall, hopefully not one of the targets, if it does it will definitely be a really shitty day.
Desarmo supporting it is no surprise either.

the united states government security apparatus and world economy already control every aspect of your life and this is where people decide to draw the line.

it’s mad funny. the dudes yelling in unison like they’re in bravehart to bum rush the capital and then just doing dabs in nancy pelosis office for insta. and these are the same people worried about “cultural decay” like their brains aren’t permanent jello from watching shark tank and reading us magazine for 40 years straight.

sounds like a coward who gave in. would you extend that same disdain for other protests or just this one? funny to me that we all don't like cops, right? but then crying 'where are the cops?' when a protest you don't like is going on. 'call in the military. you're done, give up'.
not to say everyone in any protest is some kind of noble but i like to see it. in the words of bam 'take a stand. say fuck the man. make it fucked up. fuck shit up.'

I'm curious what our new resident troll's goal happens to be here. Are his arguments to convert us to his way of thinking? If so, I don't think he is going to have much success. Is it just to be annoying? That is what the ignore button is for and it works wonders.
If he is here to make the convoy and the supporters of the convoy look like barely literate reactionary and misinformed dipshits, he is certainly succeeding. Maybe, this is the real goal?
Also, why is someone so riled up when they have zero idea what they are talking about? I enjoyed his response that Rosneft, Armaco, Sinopec, and SOCAR are really owned by westerners. Someone better tell Putin, bin Salman, Xi, and Aliyev about this.
Edit: Clicked unignore just to see the absurdity of his recent posts. I love the new one. "I'm only going to eat red meat for all meals and never touch another pussy liberal veggie again. I'm going rush into obesity and my first heart attack to own the libs."

you sir are a disingenuous moron. never said i won't eat veggies or cast dispersion on them. i merely said i'd be increasing my meat consumption [though honestly not by much].
i wanted to have an honest discussion but you people keep misrepresenting what i say or ad homineming me and i get defensive.
not an ounce of fat on me, i convert the cow to muscle. i can focus 2 skateboards at once. that's power!
if you'll excuse me, i'll be putting hamburger onto my cereal cause i keep my promises.
