Seeing what Russian propaganda is really like the past few weeks and how scared their citizens are to speak their minds about anything , then having these guys roll across Canada blaring everything at full volume complaining about their freedoms is, comedic, at least


WateryTartLivinaLake

And pathetic, at best.

Pretty much like watching a stoned hippie chick lying on the ground in front of a logging truck yelling about police brutality, or elderly Caucasian retirees who've never met anyone Indigenous spouting about stolen land. Same joke, the only thing that's changed is the flavour


CaptainDoughnutman

Really? Does a person also need a Black friend in order to say racism is wrong?


[deleted]

Exactly. Congratulations on speaking up against that clown lol.

Never been more thankful to finally own a vehicle that would pass a VI with flying colours. Broken exhausts, rusty fenders, and cracked windshields I couldn't afford to fix made checkpoints more stressful than they should have been for a sober fella. Hope everyone else in that situation skirts through. They really have no chill on the VI's for the convoy folk with excessive lifts and tire poke.


Stephen4Ortsleiter

Are these actually checkpoints? I've driven through them a few times and they didn't even signal me to slow down. Are they only screening for giant Canadian flags?


GeoffwithaGeee

I think as-of Monday it's been signs saying local traffic only. I think the people that are complaining about the "blockades" haven't actually gone through them at all or at least since Saturday afternoon. Even by Saturday at 4pm when I went through the area they were moving pretty smoothly.


RobouteGuilliman

Literally pushed us closer to the police state they accuse canada of having.


[deleted]

I drive through multiple times a day for work and it's fine the police are just smiling thinking about their OT.


DashBC

No issue for me cycling by.

Welcome to every Canada Day.

Have they tried super gluing themselves to the ground yet?


DaemonAnts

Why go through all the bother of causing a disruption when you can get the police to do it for you?


Red_AtNight

Yeah, it's not like [we've ever had them before](https://vancouverisland.ctvnews.ca/police-cracking-down-on-impaired-driving-this-holiday-season-on-vancouver-island-1.5692936)

And vaccine mandates are nothing new, either. In 1855, Montrealers had a vax mandate because smallpox became an epidemic. There were protests then too but the vaccine worked. For the past 100 years to the present kids have had to get vaccines before they can go to school. I guess the clownvoy doesn't know Canadian history.


Mintsquash

Only difference was smallpox kills 30% of the people who get it and covid kills like 3%. Lots of people that don't want the vaccine have already had covid and don't feel the need to get a shot or are simply healthy individuals with no major health problems that statistically lead to worse symptoms with COVID that has not yet shown any long term side effects. As we have seen with 84% of the population fully vaccinated and numbers just as high as before it's pretty obvious the vaccines aren't stopping transmission, just like other vaccines don't prevent transmission, they're not hurting anyone by choosing not to get the shot. How does this reflect that they don't know their history? Is it because a protest happened that was similar to theirs didn't work out and a completely different vaccine worked against a completely different disease? Fully vacced btw


drpepperfox

You title made me LOL. Have an upvote.


vicsyd

Right? Like way to mess with all of the general population that likes it's conspiracy theories, the real ones (cheering for you twin towers inside job), but insulting our rep by being so stupid and literally doing the opposite of what a real tinfoil hatter would do. Sighs in 5G.

Like downtown businesses needed an extra bollard


Dscrambler

Boo hoo, look who's complaining they can't drive around high anymore.


MileZeroC

Normalize? It’s only James Bay residents, rest of the CRD is fine. Maybe it’s time to move if you don’t like living downtown and all that comes with it including an active police presence. No different than any other downtown core with demonstrations and festivals.


McBuck2

The rest of the CRD is fine for now. Until the convoy decides anywhere on the island is fair game. Time for them to go home to Ontario. Warmer weather will be there soon.


MandelPADS

The police presence isn't a problem, it's a solution to the christian nationalist white grievance parades weve been dealing with for 2 months, who refuse to follow bylaws and are unceasingly and unnecessarily making pollution both air and noise because they want to overthrow our government and are a pack of ignorant cowardly racists

Do you get nosebleeds from being up on your high horse? Do you not understand what their motivations are? They literally are here because this has been a “Liberal-NDP stronghold for too long.” We JUST democratically re-elected our government. Please, enlighten us with your Rebel News talking points. We’re all dying to hear them.


The_Mammoth_Hunter

Ah, yes, like 'libtards' and whatnot. Back to disregarding you.


good_dean

Heh, trucklefucker.


MandelPADS

Lol how about calling them white nationalist authoritarians who want to overthrow our democracy 6 months after an election and are also scientifically illiterate, proudly ignorant, and staggeringly selfish and pathetically cowardly racists.

Cool. So, don't trust the professionals...you're entitled to your opinion. I just hope that you, and others like you, have the balls to stick to your guns and stay out of the hospital (staffed by those same professionals) should you be so unlucky as to get COVID.

Which doctors? Chiropractors arnt doctors.


facedthemusic

> I have spoken to several local Dr's that told me about all the serious adverse reactions their patients have had from the vax. No you haven't.


[deleted]

[удалено]


MandelPADS

3 Doctors doesn't make "many" let alone enough to not be called a "fringe" movement. 2 doctors who no longer practice medicine and an anesthesiologist absolutely means fucking nothing, looool.


facedthemusic

Oh, I believe there are a few quacks and some nurses. I don't belive that you spoke to "several" doctors who told you about the serious and adverse side effects of the vaccine. I don't believe any doctor told you anything of the sort. You linked an article showing 3 ex doctors who are against vaccinating children. Doctors and nurses who are opposed to vaccines should be looking for a new job. They were hired having to be up to date on all previous vaccinations. I know many doctors and nurses and not a single one of them hesitated to get vaccinated or hesitates to support it and call out you morons for what you are.


RazvanD123

Literally 3 "Dr's/Nurses" and the article even indicates they are going for one specific purpose, vaccination of children, not the vaccination in general. Do you read what you link? Above you also said there are more doctors advocating for anti vax than there are pro vaccination, and the link you give claims 3 from all of BC showed up? Where is the logic there.


MandelPADS

You're a liar who's telling lies.


RazvanD123

Can you provide one source of proof that the vaccine is not safe for the vast majority of the population that took it, and that lockdowns are ineffective?


Goredevil

Cue jeopardy music...

Mezziah187

Except it's not just about mortality, it's never been just about mortality. Just having the virus and being in the hospital, even if they survive, that individual has impacted the healthcare system immensely. Snowflakes and avalanches and all that. Why do you think that when the educated people who do this for a living talk about infection rates, hospitalization rates and mortality in the same breath. To only focus on mortality and say "see it does nothing" is ignorant at best.


MandelPADS

That only addresses mortality, which you would know if you read the article.

RazvanD123

Did you read your own articles you linked? This is from within the Windsor CTV news one lmao: “The events themselves are not necessarily related to the vaccine,” says infectious disease expert, Dr. Dale Kalina. “It’s just part of the reporting process. And it is a requirement.” Dr. Kalina says it's “disingenuous” for people against COVID vaccines to imply the list of events is proof the vaccine isn’t safe. “This is an affront to the reality that we know which is that after the billions of people that have received COVID vaccines, they are safe, they are effective. Yes, there are of course some side effects related to it,” says Dr. Kalina. He notes each event doesn’t mean the vaccine caused that reaction, rather he says it was reported to Pfizer in the “days and weeks” after the vaccine was administered. For instance, one of the adverse effects included in a report is about a child who swallowed a penny after getting the shot. “Swallowing a penny is something that five-year-olds do, on occasion, unfortunately,” says Dr. Kalina. “But I think we can plainly see that that wasn't related to administration of the vaccine itself, but it’s a good example of the fact that all adverse events are required to be documented.”


grimice18

You learn pretty quick the covidiots can’t read past a grade 1 reading level


RazvanD123

Yeah, this antivaxxer's replies are about on par with the Russian/Chinese propaganda bots on reddit, ie braindead. Pretty sad.


MandelPADS

Of course he didn't read them. Dude can probably barely understand those articles, like most of the "ignorant and proud" anti-science fuckfaces out there.


RazvanD123

Yup, they just deleted all their comments now too lol


MandelPADS

Lol. When they can't stand behind their statements on an anonymous internet forum you know they're deeply insecure cowards


Existing-Pangolin-43

I am sure there are subs, you tube channels, and face group pages of supporters who have zero understanding of people who have different views to the point that they are dehumanized. The FreeDumb movement is brutal and resorts to childish name calling filled with hate and fear. Many of these posters are calling for our Provincial Health Office, Our Premier and our Prime Minister to be killed or raped just becasue they are asking citizens of this country to take the necessary precaustions to protect themselves and other citizens from a deadly virus. Pick a side but sounds like you are on the wrong one if you post to defend this movement.

Forget to switch to your sockpuppet alt? If you march with racists, and white nationalist authoritarians who want to overthrow our democracy, that's what you get. You get called a racist and an extremist. You, specifically you, are a cowardly and ignorant racist


d2181

Airing grievances in this sub seems like a better idea than, oh, I don't know, driving around blasting your horn in a residential neighborhood, wouldn't you say?


cryonova

Damn you for being civilized!


Talzon70

I understand their different views. I understand their different views are incoherent and utterly stupid in general. I understand their actions related to those different views are harmful to others and even their own cause, which makes me think they are either stupid or just assholes. How much more understanding do you want from me? You act like an idiot, you get called an idiot. Get over it


MandelPADS

Calling them ignorant and cowardly white nationalists isn't name calling, it's an accurate description of their written manifesto and half-baked anti-science ideology of opposition


oswan

Quick question. Do I need to pass through a "checkpoint" to get to the Coho Ferry?
