    I don’t support these trucker bros at all. The idea that we can “declare the pandemic over” is so juvenile that it’s funny.

    But if the argument is “should the government enforce laws requiring vaccines?” then I’m thinking like, hey we’re almost two years (btw we haven’t solved anything as far as I can tell) into this and people can get the vaccine and boosters for “free” and we’re way past any chance of “ending Covid”

    Sooooo maybe we let it go? We can’t go on forever pretending that vaccinating the remaining 12% of eligible Canadians is going to be a magic pill.

    I don’t like the idea of government forcing any meds on people, just on principle. Dangerous precedent. I also don’t like the idea of limiting public health care only to people who follow govt orders. Again, just on principle.

    Let these goofy truckers go back to work. Donate their doses to people in poor countries that don’t have access to them yet.

    • It's impossible to continually vaccinate the whole world every 6 months. Plus it's probably dangerous.Chimp
    • Vaccinations aren't more dangerous than Covid. Why not try to fight this shitty pandemic? Darwin has a place for you if you want to wave a white flag.CyBrainX
    • If you've already had covid, it's more dangerous to take the vaccine as it offers you no more protection. But carry on shouting antivax at anyone who disagrees.Chimp
    • For sure all the lockdown have hurt more people than the pandemic. Who trust pfizer? Most sued company in the world. Who trusts the government?Raybandana
    • More people die of suicide in Spain under 50 than covid. This says it all really.Chimp
    • truckers are 90% vaxed, its about the mandate not the vax. Do you like being forced by your government to do things, that dont make sense?Raybandana
    • You're all dancing around the fact that your anti-vax and pro disease.CyBrainX
    • I hate government as much as the next person but I'm in favor of some laws - the ones that protect us from people who endanger us. You know who that is.CyBrainX
    • honestly its just about the mandate. Its not about the vax. For real. Im vaxed the truckers are vaxed. No mandates please, it doesnt make sense anymore.Raybandana
    • There is nothing but love and unity in ottawa right now, the media is spinning it so badly, its so sad. Ive never seen Canadians stand up like this. EVER.Raybandana

    • Those vaccines have exemptions. So many cases were people provide exemptions but still being forced.Raybandana
    • The lockdowns are mandates hurting and killing way more people. We will feel the effects for years to come.Raybandana
    • @raybandana you’re speaking for the so-called truckers and not the citizens of Ottawa. This isn’t peace and love and it isn’t a protest.colab
    • As if anyone is forcing medically exempt people to risk their health with vaccines. And who is being killed by lockdowns and mandates?CyBrainX
    • Yea i know the residents arent having a good time, but what do you do, keep quiet and let the gov walk all over you? Rules are changing now, the honking workedRaybandana

    GoFundMe shuts down donations to ‘Freedom convoy’ as fundraiser surpasses $10 million
    https://www.washingtonexaminer.c…
    https://www.therecord.com/ts/new…

    Initially they wanted to redistribute the donations to other charities:
    "The crowdfunding platform announced Friday that they will be distributing the remaining funds to 'credible and established charities"

    https://twitter.com/gofundme/sta…

    "The update we issued earlier enabled all donors to get a refund and outlined a plan to distribute remaining funds to verified charities selected by the Freedom Convoy organizers. However, due to donor feedback, we are simplifying the process and automatically refunding donations."

    • lol... I get not wanting to have your company attached to certain events, however 'you' (GoFundMe) doesn't have the right to pick "new" charities...PonyBoy
    • ... give folks back their fucking money if it's not going towards what they intended... else that is straight up fraud by GFM.PonyBoy
    • It always should have been automatic if they cancelled funding, even if a group breaches terms of service, which they definitely did by getting violent.BuddhaHat

    Question for the qbn Canucks - Is it true that the Canadian press is portraying the freedom convoy in a negative light?

    How is the Canadian press conveying it?

    Here in 'merica - CNN is calling it a Canadian white supremacist insurrection. Something similar to Jan 6.

    What are the facts? What is the word on the street?

    • It's hard to imagine how this group's events could be put in anything but a negative light. Sometimes the facts just speak for themselves.CyBrainX
    • what is the sentiment of general public?hotroddy

    Federal Conservatives reverse course on supporting trucker blockades, call for an end to all barricades

    https://www.theglobeandmail.com/…

    Looks like the idiot truckers have started costing their conservative overlords money, and so the support evaporates.

    • The cons were never pro-occupation. In Ontario, at least, fatty-ford was against the occupiers and offered the mayors whatever they needed to help themGnash
    • Also, seems to be working as many provinces have started to relax mandates this weekGnash
    • They do get heard when they start blocking roads and commerce I’ll give them that. Almost impossible to move/tow all the trucks and barricades._niko
    • They’ve realised that the mandates were wrong.Chimp

    @hotroddy

    Sentiment: 54% of Canadians agree it's time to get rid of mandates/restrictions - see Angus Reid Poll linked earlier
    ~1/3 polled say they understand or identify with the issues the truckers are protesting (I can't remember who did that poll, it was from around the same time as the Angus Reid poll)
    90% of Toronto Star readers polled thought the truckers should be allowed to continue to protest
    Support definitely split down party lines. It's something like 85% against for liberals and NDP, 50-70% support for Cons, PPC, Greens. Something like that anyway.

    Coverage:
    Very biased toward the 'hateful/dangerous/insurrection' talking points that the liberals/NDP are putting out. You can check out some livestreamers to see just how different from reality that coverage is. Viva Frei has been livestreaming on youtube every day of the rally talking to both sides. I've been watching lots of different streamers about this. I haven't seen a single symbol of hate on the livestreams. I have seen some pretty questionable things done by the police in Ottawa, maybe hoping to instigate a response that they can crack down on. So far, no one has taken the bait. Ottawa police sicking-out and resigning in droves as they don't seem to like the orders they're getting. Ottawa residents mixed between support and frustration.

    That's the Ottawa protest. I think things are taking a more serious turn in Windsor at the Ambassador bridge. The auto plants in Michigan and Ontario are having to shut down because they can't move parts across the border. That's going to get everyone's attention real quick, as automotive is Canada's #2 export worth about 12% of GDP. (Oil is ~18%).
    If the protests continue, and this type of strategic civil disobedience increases, it could become a real problem.

    I think this protest has been pretty toxic for the current government. Conservatives smell blood in the water, Liberals are defecting, NDP, which props up the Liberal minority government, seem to be changing their tone as of late. Bloc Quebecois appear to be aligning with Conservatives. JT has been reading the same script since the beginning, with no change in sight. I suspect we're heading towards a non-confidence vote as a result of all this.
