Yes how terrifying. I guess we need a parliamentary motion denouncing all the nazis at Del Boca Vista phase 3
oh gee, what a shocker. it was retweeted by @notandrea, the same journo who gave us that "I'm a white supremacist" video nonsense from last week.

Can anyone provide me with some examples here (see below).... Protest movements on both sides always attract a few hard boiled haters. Out of the thousands of people who went to Ottawa, there must be at least one real example, no?
Um... hello?

Bernie?
Cmon folks. Send me your pics. Silence is violence. Etc

So the story here is that last night, there was a mass murder plot in an Ottawa apt building, with one of the would-be killers telling a passer-by (for no apparent reason) he was a protestor. But no one calls 911, & Ottawa arson's unit finds out about it on twitter a day later. Image
Also, am I missing the big stories that should have already appeared on the big media sites such as CBC Ottawa and Ottawa Citizen? Right now, I was expecting "Arson Plot Foiled" as the main story. Instead, it's a story about parking tickets being issues.... Image
It's been four hours since this thread went up. I know it's sunday, but is there a reason the Ottawa Citizen site doesn't have a banner headline about the hundreds of lives that were saved from immolation by the bravery of anti-protest activists living in an apt building? Image

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...
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?...
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)....
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
