1/ The vaccinated protect themselves. The unvaccinated aren't a danger but to themselves. In the current context, it a deeply private thing to get vaccinated or not. #TruckersConvoy2022
2/ Pain is private. Death is private. The body is something private.
3/ Our bodies aren't public property. #TruckersConvoy2022 #TruckersForFreedom #EndTheMandates
4/ #Trudeau: I am COVID.
5/ #Trudeau makes it clear he won't be speaking to the truckers and those who support them. I have never seen a divisive figure like him, not only in #Canada, but outside Canada too.
6/ I won't be listening to what #Trudeau has to say. It will be the same broken record over and over. This PM is incapable of empathy, and he is now prisoner of decisions he made to divide Canadian society. He can only double down from now on...
7/ The truckers will do the same because the PM is not giving them any other option. The truckers have only contempt from the PM. They will have to be extremely disciplined, this will be a long fight. Canada is now on a low intensity civil war path, a path chosen by #Trudeau.
8/ #Trudeau's announcement today is meant to provoke anger through contempt. The truckers have to be very disciplined. #TruckersConvoy2022 #TruckersForFreedom2022
9/ Of course he won't and this is how he is going to make them fail, by making them angry through contempt. Did anyone expect a different response from Trudeau? #TruckersConvoy2022
10/ I heard that the convoy organizer Benjamin Dichter was trying to get in touch with Trudeau's brain, Gerald Butt. This is naive...
11/ The #TruckersConvoy2022 organizers should brace themselves for more contempt from the PM. Contempt is something #Trudeau masters well - coming from the privileged class. The organizers should be aware that this will be Trudeau's only strategy: make the truckers angry.
12/ #Canada is on the wrong path, a path chosen by #Trudeau to divide its people and harvest the fruits of the divide for his own political benefit. Now more than ever, we need solidarity, we need discipline, and we need a conciliatory discourse...#TruckersConvoy2022
13/ There is risk for #Trudeau & his party in adopting a divisive strategy & a strategy of contempt, but they have nothing to lose. They are afraid of transitioning to a post Covid era where all their incompetence will be on display, they prefer to rule through fear and contempt.
14/ #Trudeau is certainly a coward but he has brains advising him and these brains serving Trudeau will wage a cruel psy-op war on the protesters by making them angry and undermining them in the eyes of the Canadian public opinion. #TruckersConvoy2022
15/ The legacy media is part of this war, on #Trudeau's behalf.
16/ I think however that, if truckers stay calm, time is working against #Trudeau because the more he is entrenched in a COVID mindset, the more he will become detached from Canadian public opinion. #TruckersConvoy2022
17/ Truckers have therefore to focus on one thing really, not help #Trudeau turn public opinion against them, and work to gain sympathy. They will be working in the right direction, a goal shared by more and more Canadians: turn the corner on COVID and end restrictions.
18/ #Trudeau: "To the politicians exploiting people’s fears: I ask you to think long and hard about the consequences of your actions." I wonder if Trudeau has the courage and the honesty to ask himself this question. #VaccineMandate
19/ #Trudeau is relishing a confrontation that would put truckers in a bad light. If I were the organizers I would convene a press conf announcing trucks are leaving Ottawa, the PM having refused to consider them as citizens with legit grievances, but the struggle will continue.
20/ Truckers can leave few trucks behind as a symbol of their struggle and continue their actions under different forms. If they stay, incidents will become more and more likely and they will lose the battle for the public opinion... #TruckersConvoy2022
21/ In fact, truckers gave Trudeau an exit-ramp from his radical positions and he refused, now it is up to them to capitalize on Trudeau's reaction and show it for what it is: an extremist contemptuous reaction. #TruckersConvoy2022
22/ I do not agree with the politics of the #TruckerConvoy2020 but I absolutely support their fight to end the vaccine mandates and the vaccine passports. These are brutal measures. Our bodies aren't public property.
23/ Besides dividing a country that has a high rate of vaccination for his political benefit, #Trudeau might be aiming to break some world record on vaccination to make it his political legacy. After all, as a PM, he doesn't have much else to show for a legacy... #cdnpoli
24/ But then, #Trudeau will be doing this at the expense of others, not by any effort of his own.

Absolutely true. Other countries are opening and lifting restrictions. #cdnpoli
Here is a thread summarizing the reasons listed by the European Center for Disease Control for opening, as of January 27: ecdc.europa.eu/sites/default/… #cdnpoli
Only few European countries have vaccination rates as high as #Canada. #cdnpoli #TruckerConvoy2022

Went downtown Ottawa to pick up a take out, drove near parliament and saw vehicles with Canadian flags driving around this part of downtown. The gov media have waged a campaign of fear and smear around the #TruckerConvoy2022
I am hoping the trucker convoy will spur a national conversation about the goal of the mandates, not stigmatization and divisions. I wish these truckers well. I think especially about those who left family & small children behind. Ottawa is cold tonight. nationalpost.com/news/canada/me…
When the federal gov threatened vaccine passports for travel, I thought they wouldn't do it because doing so would put Canadian citizens at a disadvantage: foreign nationals can enter and leave Canada based on a test if they aren't vaccinated, not Canadian citizens. This is wrong

“From Kabul to Kandahar”: nothing you've been told about the last months/days of the #Taliban takeover reflects what was going on, on the gorund. (subscribers, September 2021) // mondediplo.com/9839
French public intellectual Bernard-Henri Lévy (BHL) said on French TV, mid August, about the Taliban: 'These soldiers on motorbikes ... aren’t a formidable army...I was on the ground some time ago....The Taliban were not eating away at power. They’d gone to ground.’
"How is it possible, after so many years, to be so wrong about the insurgency’s strategic effectiveness? "

#Nasrallah: To our Christian brothers, neither Hezbollah, nor Amal, nor the Shia, nor any Muslim is your enemy. But Let's focus on Hezbollah.
#Nasrallah: When Daesh and Nusra penetrated eastern Lebanon and the Bekaa, who was their friends, their ally and their financial support? It was the Lebanese Forces party.
#Nasrallah to Christian Lebanese: Ask the people of Rablah, Deir Attieh, Maaloula, ask the churches in #Syria and the clergy in #Syria, how did Hezbollah treat you?

Messaging to the public on #COVID19 pandemic has been wrong, most of the time, and lagging behind the science.
For the first year it was wash your hands, stay indoors. Washing hands is good hygiene, but wasn't going to stop COVID. On staying indoors, they were wrong... 1/
Then there was the flip flopping on masks. Officials who were mask skeptics became mask fanatics, overnight, once governments started alleviating masks shortage.2/
The current messaging on vaccines is 'Take your f...... shot', no matter what. Vaccination campaigns have been successful in nbr of western countries. The hammering message is aimed/shouted at those who didn't yet, in an ungentle way that castigates, excludes and marginalises. 3/

A group of doctors, scientists & patient advocates asks the FDA not to grant full approval for #COVID19 vaccines, which have only emergency authorization, unless the standard scientific process is followed, full phase3 trials divulged and effects monitored blogs.bmj.com/bmj/2021/06/08…
Is @Twitter censoring the British Medical Journal now? ImageImage
"regarding the elephant in the room: publicly raising any element of hesitation about #COVID19 vaccines will be seen by some as irresponsible. But the alternatives—privately raising concerns or simply remaining silent—are arguably more detrimental to public trust in the long run"
