spending tomorrow out of toronto (disc golf involved). refuse to watch the city descend into a giant game of Woke Pokémon Go, whose goal is to spot a confederate flag belt buckle or Hogan's Heroes t-shirt on some convoy dude as proof we're all being nazi'd by supernazis...
and just so everyone knows, I'm no fan of the Confederate flag. just the opposite: the only episodes of Dukes of Hazzard I watch are the 1981-1984 ones with Don Pedro Colley as Sheriff Little, such as "Cletus Falls in Love" (1981) and "Sittin' Dukes" (1984)... Image
(and yes, while I watch Hogan's Heroes, it is only so I can express my allyship with Jewish actors such as John (né Johann) Banner and Werner Klemperer) ImageImage
TRIGGER WARNING: My previous tweets contain pics of Jews dressed as a Nazis and a black guy who was in a show with a racist car. so yeah, something to think about if u look at those pics again
actually...i dont think I know how trigger warnings work
i think im doing this wrong
"I'm aware of his work":

that freedom convoy clogging up downtown didn't prevent me from getting to see the new spiderman movie tonight
and I will never ever forgive them for that
"Hey look. We included Tobey Maguire and Andrew Garfield at the end just so we can remind you that they were awesome Spidermans and Tom Holland is crap. Oh and now here's Willem Dafoe saying random evil stuff. The end. Credits."
"gee fellow producer, this movie doesn't suck enough. What should we do? Oh I know let's make sure the female love interest has only one facial expression... oh yeah solid. Good idea. Oh and also, spiderman now lives in Narnia and there's just random magic portals everywhere"

I know I joke around a lot. But this time, I have something serious to report... I am guilty of—as @gmbutts rightly called it last night—"insurrection." But I swear it was an accident, and that history will absolve me. I didn't mean to join the freedom convoy. it just happened... ImageImage
so here are the facts. This morning, I went x-country skiing with the family up in Albion Hills Conservation Park. This, we can all agree, is a very progressive and non-insurgent thing to do. so far so good, right?... ImageImage
but then Waze routes us down the 427 en route to the gardener ... and as we're driving, we get all these alerts about traffic... and then, to our horror, as we turned east, we were in the midst of the convoy. gridlock. worst of all, no obvious way to signal we WEREN'T convoying..

ppl sometimes ask why I was so supportive of trudeau originally. this page from his memoir helps explain why. Until he became PM he really did listen to ppl he disagreed with, even separatists who wanted to break up the country ("insurrectionists," as Liberals now call them).... Image
The trudeau of 2014 would have made a positive social spectacle of the convoy thing. He'd walk around talking to truckers telling them why he disagreed with them, but never losing his smile. This isn't just about trudeau. His evolution shows how party politics poisons everyone...
Same thing happened to Harper when he was in office. The years pass, & sooner or later the only thing you care about is making the other party look bad. So 8K humans come to ottawa to protest, and the Libs' response is "oh good, lets demonize them to make Tories look like nazis"

I hear many smart, trustworthy ppl saying that the Ottawa protest has gone on way too long, & the vehicles need to go. Alas, that very reasonable case has been undercut by a week's worth of apocalyptic boy-cried-wolf agitprop about mythical nazi insurrections. Whats the lesson?
It's almost like when people see Liberal and NDP politicians pretending like it's Poland 1939, and journalists running around trying to pretend that everyone in town is a closet confederate trooper, they kinda sorta learn not to trust what they hear
Meanwhile, instead of taking 5 mins to actually talk to protestors & let them leave town with dignity, politicians denounce them as orcs, then rush to pass motions against pieces of fabric carried by scattered morons, so they can tweet about being social justice heroes. Good job

Glad to see other countries recognizing how disastrous progressive social panic has been for Canada. Has torn apart a reasonably happy & united country. National case study in how quickly mainstream leftist politics can turn into a sour little shame cult
telegraph.co.uk/news/2022/01/3…
The case study is particularly fascinating bcuz it all took place under the rule of a single PM. For the 1st few years, Trudeau was a fine leader. The change took place around Canada150 in 2017, when we abruptly had our great awokening, with JT going all in overnight...
So a PM whose 2014 memoir had a total of maybe 2 pages on indigenous issues now decided he was the leader of a genocide state. When BLM came around, he dropped to his knees (literally) for that too. He has the manic zealotry of a new covert. So now canada is full on woke bullshit

If convoy participants wanted to make ottawa progressives go loony, they've succeeded beyond their wildest dreams. Long after the last truck departs, these neighborhood witch hunters will be shrieking at each other with accusations of convoyism & truckism

As this comrade reminds us, even a humble french fry truck may be a stalking horse for fascism. Do not be deceived by the crisp texture and delicious taste of Gaetan's food!!!! These are the tubers of totalitarianism!
