    Jesus, that is a stupid video. His comparisons are far far wide of the mark, comparing Manitoba to North Dakota...he probably has been to either if he is trying to compare them.

    LThe good ol truckers were protesting here at the weekend in Vancouver outside the convention centre. Why, you ask? When all of our restrictions have been lifted (no masks or vaccine passports for a few weeks now), because Bill Gates was speaking at TED talks, and they didn’t want any 5G around these parts.

    If you supported this crowd, you are as thick and stupid as they are.

    Same crowd and same tactics in Dublin and this week protesting fuel prices. Threatening “complete lockdown”.... We’re well used to them at this stage lads.

    Freezing protesters bank accounts in Canada was way OTT. The whole government need to go for that.

    I really don’t understand all these protests shutting down traffic for ordinary people. It’s not the way to get people on your side for any cause. It seems every other month it’s another cause doing this crap. Protest outside the Dail.

    Edit: Also now no one cares about vaccine passports. It’s all disappeared and now it all about Ukraine.

    Exactly, I think the response was far too stern, but their disturbance and actions deserved some sort of recourse. They were an absolute pain, and still are. It boils my blood seeing a bunch of morons chant "Freedom" when there is a war going on in Ukraine where legit freedoms are under threat. They don't see their privilege for what it is.

    The tide turned against them long ago, now it is just bafflement as to why they are actually protesting...and over what?

    The freedom to earn a living and access basic services without it being conditional on taking unwanted pharmaceutical products are "legit" freedoms. Just because some other people are being killed with guns and bombs doesn't invalidate it, they're in two different categories.

    Two-thirds of Ukrainians are unvaccinated incidentally so if the passes had been kept on many of them would be restrained in their countries of refuge.

    They are totally free to do that, they always have been. If a private business have their own set of rules for entry or service, tough luck. They are clearly free to drive around and make a racket and kick up a fuss. And they are not restricted from working at all, truckers were able to work anywhere in Canada, and currently can.

    So again, why are they still protesting? Is it because, maybe...they don't actually have a real agenda and it is all based in conspiracy theory (5G injections and so on).

    Nothing to do with freedom. It's health precautions. If you want to disagree with certain health precautions, fine, go protest it, but do so legally and peacefully (as pointed out countless times, most people understandably have strong negative opinions on those people who protest against health precautions, vaccines, masks, etc for obvious reasons)

    People have a right to protest, peacefully. Whatever the belief. However they don't have a "right" to block motorways and cities and selfishly impact other people's rights and livelihoods. Doesn't matter what they are protesting, that's illegal. There's no validation for it.

    There is still a bunch of dangerously stupid fúckwíts "protesting" every week around my area.

    The signs are

    Death Jabs, Tony has to Go, Freedoms, etc.

    Absolutely unhinged.
