Does anybody know if it’s cleared out enough to skate the underground lots yet?

rideau and subsequently p3 is closed till the 6th as of now.

Fuck. Thank you.

O'Toole is out.

Fuck, he was kook as fuck, but who knows what insane asshole we are getting next: Sloan or Hillier.

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.

[TheLurper]

yea, Bloomberg was calling Pierre as well.

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?

Oh yeah, well I seen a barely intelligible SLAP post...

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.

[Madam, I'm Adam]

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.

look out, french canadian leftists! that's like 3 kinds of tough and scary.

[JANUS]

Ottawa police be like

[Stu Pickles]

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/

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

i think theyre anti mandate. im sure some miners said bad words or werent perfect by our standards. its workin class vs bigpharma and the government whether you agree  or not.

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.
