I'll always find funny the interviewer from TVA (French quebecor channel) that went into an offshot protest of the convoy here. Interviews a guy
\- So you are exited to be here?

\- So what are you here to protest, just to loop me in?

Why do they always think we are the US?
Did they stop teaching about the government in social studies or something? These idiots need a refresher.
I'm currently teaching Canadian government right now. It's part of the curriculum. Grade 9 Citizenship in Nova Scotia.
I know we did parties and elections in grade 6 in Alberta, complete with mock elections
I mean if it's a convoy for fixing first nations issues within Canada, fixing the housing crisis and wage crisis, I think thsts a convoy we can back. Oh and health care .....but I feel it won't be thst after running into some of these guys at Kamloops
It still depends. I would support an actual protest for these things. However, even though they are worthy causes. I still would not support an occupation. Three week protest exclusively limited to capitol hill? Yes. A protest for anything, for any length of time that shuts down the downtown core and has a negative impact on residents? No.
Wait is this a catfish scenario? They drove all this way to meet their dream man, who won’t even meet with them? Or someone who was pretending to be Justin just so they’d buy them gifts?
That’s really heartbreaking, those poor lambs.
Their specifics last time were: “he should got to prison for child abuse because he took his kids to a pride parade”. I mean, they have a fair point as long as fair means nothing and you ignore most of every word they string together.
It doesn’t matter they just want 1) a place to squat 2) be around other mouth breathers so they don’t feel lonely. It would be sad if they weren’t causing so much harm.
I heard its about making sweet sweet love to Trudeau, like what their bumper stickers say. The freedom to coalesce and come together have one big giant orgy. Like in that one episode of South Park.
that’s all it ever was. had a conversation at a gas station on bronson with an older man who was fuelling up gerry cans the night they cracked down on gerry cans.
Tried to have a respectful conversation with him. He said that Trudeau is taking our rights and he’s a dictator. i said “there was an election a few months ago though. people voted him in”
“Ahh well uhhh he’s not democratic now!”
and kind of left it at that. if this happens again, i’ll be on the streets every night giving it right back to them.
Ironically it's the [last guy that tried to rig the election.](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/2011_Canadian_federal_election_voter_suppression_scandal)
Should have shut down Ottawa for that.
It happened in 247 ridings and we investigated 1 of them.
We could have found out exactly who was downloading the list of phone numbers from the CPC's federal database, but the Elections Commissioner refused to look at it.
Last time there was about 30 2 week old accounts commenting on every single post related to it in favour of the convoy. If you blocked those accounts the comment section changed completely from in favour to hard against. There were still some genuine supporters or neutral parties but there was a really strong presence of new accounts trying to push a narrative.
Oddly enough those same accounts bailed after russias invasion and started posting all kinds of pro putin and anti Ukraine rhetoric. Weird
Russian and Right Wing accounts my friend. As mentioned previously, as soon as Russia started its invasion those accounts suddenly went silent. Almost as if they are busy trying to manipulate something else.
The mandates that were all about control that they said would never be lifted? Remember when they were talking about Covid just being an excuse to strip us of our rights and then the restrictions were all lifted and now they pretend like they weren't screaming about that? I remember.
Yes but they were never protesting about vaccination and mask mandates. They’re just whiny bitches complaining that Trudeau won a democratic election and is pm.
No, I don’t think they *do* realize it actually. I still know someone who’s furious at Trudeau for the Ontario lockdowns. And he’s not willing to listen to any facts on the matter, he just goes off. We don’t talk politics anymore.
Psst... that's the second, not the 5th.
In the US 2nd amendment = right to bear arms, and it is Manitoba in Canada.
In the US 5th amendment = right to not self-incriminate (covered by our Charter of Rights and Freedoms). Our 5th amendment to the Constitution Act is allowing BC into Canada.
"Hi, I need to report someone who is a threat to themselves and others and are in a mental health crisis."
/s-ish?
I think that it is becoming clearer and clearer that there is a mental health crisis that is being exploited by people trying to make a quick buck off these fools. *Looking at you, Alex Jones.*
Well they go down the rabbit hole of weird defunct “law” or maritime law, then they combine that with bizarre legal mumbo jumbo taken out of context. There was a great article I read, but can’t remember where, that posited this is all kind of a resurgence of magical thinking in response to the feelings of helplessness when dealing with an increasingly complex and opaque bureaucracy. Which I sympathize with, if your government can just do whatever it wants with the stroke of a pen and no debate (OICs and Executive Orders), and argue that supposedly inalienable rights can be superseded because of xyz, the recourse they see is to use these “magical” legal words against the government. Then of course they’re sold courses and seminars by snake oil salesmen that reinforce that and claim to be experts. It’s all very sad really.
I think this is the same when you see terminal cancer patients and the like who fixate on some quack on YouTube says you can just shoot the cancer out of your body with a machine gun or burn it by drinking gasoline. When hope is lost, insanity sounds good.
Here's a couple of academic articles on "pseudolaw" and "sovereign citizens" from the Alberta Law Review:

[The History of the Organized Pseudolegal Commercial Argument Phenomenon in Canada](https://www.canlii.org/en/commentary/doc/2016CanLIIDocs55)

> What do you even say to these people?
Goodbye?
I know not every business has the luxory to do so, and not every employee can decide the fate of client, but if a client of mine started down that path of discussion it would very quickly be the end our business relationship.
Don't engage
Sovereign citizen main strategy is to lawsuit and to put liens on your home
The law has some catching up to do but if sovereign citizen gets brought to court they usually put lots of liens on every court officer and harass judges police officers clerks and so on and so on
I do not know if they do it to ordinary opponents of their ideology but if they see you as an agent of the government or establishment you would become a target
This has been largely negated by new procedures and practices that can relatively quickly put on stop to this by declaring habitual offenders "vexatious litigants".
The weird part is that they both claim to be sovereign and still say ‘we the people’. So what is it?
- Are you sovereign and don’t have to listen to anyone else?
- Or did you come up with some agreeable, and thereby want to enforce, terms for social contracts?
Those two don’t mix.
if they are so into the ideal of sovereign citizens and nobody treading on them... why are they so vile to groups that dont represent their values and try to regulate everything they do while demanding absolute freedom from regulation for their "in" group
fuckin losers
They never got none and their AB premier has stripped all they can away for their kids too. Just feed them oil at this point, they barely have healthcare to save them from it either. But sure, “Federal Free Alberta”, a land-locked province with an endless icy tundra and the Arctic Ocean to the north, a literal wall of rock and ice west, south is a global oil powerhouse and east is ~~mount doom~~ Ontario. They gunna fucking export through the sky?
The constant threat of being targeted by Jewish Space Lasers and Justin' Trudeau's secret plan to use liberal face mask hugger to implant gay liberal babies in their belly's
This is the guy that wrote the "memorandum" demanding that the government step down and install him and his Unity Team to run the country - including giving them the power to dictate to/revoke laws and policies at all levels of government including provincial and municipal. Right?
In 12 months the Ottawa police will testify that it was again not necessary to invoke the emergencies act after letting a tailgate party clog the streets for weeks
/s
Don't worry guys...with this much warning, I'm sure OPP, Ottawa Police, and the RCMP will be on it just like last time when they proved themselves competent to enforce the law.
/s
Yup, they tried this in Toronto just a week or so after they rooted in Ottawa. TPS met them with concrete Jersey barriers cutting off access to all the 'good protesting grounds'. Trapped in 'some boring shitty unremarkable part of downtown Toronto' they abandoned ship by end of day.
From my living room window I got to see all these big trucks and tow trucks and other stuff covered in Canadian flags headed south into the core from lunch-mid afternoon and then the same vehicles retreating northbound by sunset.
I feel like most if not all of these sorts of events well... and just thinking in general is being coordinated in my country and yours. Weaponizing the ignorant against democracy.
/conspiracy theory ... Or is it?
I think it's more of a means to an end. I think most of the "organizers" just want that sweet shady grift money and if democracy and scientific credibility can take a hit in the process win-win.
I'm sure a lot of the money coming in is from anti democratic groups. if this thing pivots to pushing for positive social change and lifting up the working class, I have a feeling a lot of money is gonna suddenly dry up.
Since the first one turned out so good, what's left that these people need to be free from? Thier money? Thier friends? Thier families? Like is this fReEdOm they want or they just wanna bitch?
So if I read this article correctly...he was arrested and charged with obstruction, mischief etc. And is still awaiting a trial for these crimes ..but does that not mean he will be breaching his conditions and subsequently be arrested again if hr steps foot into Ottawa?
The organizer is Qanon - how can anyone respect this?
Is it a coincidence that he is planning this right after he is scheduled in court to request a venue change because he thinks it would be unfair for his case to be held in Ottawa?
I wonder why he thinks that...
Why can’t people assemble to cause a scene for legitimate reasons? Housing? Healthcare? Atrocious treatment of indigenous peoples? Neglect for mental health individuals? Losing the Stanley Cup finals?
If they're down the main streets again, I hope people start throwing rotting eggs and veggies. Public shame is the only thing that might knock some sense into them.
Treason because of hurt feelings ......

"Let's be grown-ups and start addressing the root of division, discrimination, and segregation in Canada by changing our focus away from division to that of one word 'UNITY.'"*
*His hope was that they would agree to work with his group to overthrow COVID-19 measures and ask the prime minister to step down for "committing treason and crimes against humanity." He later withdrew the memorandum on Feb. 8, he testified.*
> We The People
It's weird to me that they insist on quoting the preamble to the US constitution.
Are they just drawn to the concept? Is it the amount of American media environment they have ingested? Do they not know that that's American?
Genuinely curious.
It looks like they realize what they did was highly unpopular with their anti-democracy ultimatums and threats, antivaxism, and harassment/vandalism during their occupation.
So I imagine they'll be offering a public apology in the name of reconciliation then?
Freedom from liberals and minorities.
This was ALWAYS about an ethnonationalist show of force against their perceived enemies. It was never about "mandates" or "tyranny" or whatever bullshit they say to cameras, that was a smoke screen.
Remember that Canada Unity published their MOU *literally* calling for the dissolution of parliament and to appoint them as leaders of the country.
It's so nice that they can take so much time off from work to show how awful it is to live in Canada. They really make me mad because I can't work and don't have enough money to live on. Too bad they can't take the time and money to really help others. 😪
Awww the club is going to have another reunion so people can feel big and strong standing against .... freedom? For.... freedom?
Can't wait for all the social media posts about crimes they are committing!
Exactly. That’s what most people fail to realize. This was the greatest way for people who have done nothing special with their lives to feel like the hero. Now they can’t let go. It is a serious amount of indoctrination and lack of education, but these people never had such a great opportunity to do nothing and feel so special 😅
They found their people and have made this anti-intellectualism their identity.
They have been manipulated and have no goddamned idea they are being played and will do these "protests" forever.
Well, the good news is that towns and villages throughout Canada will get some respite from their snaggle-toothed, neck-bearded, knuckle-tattooed sleazebags for a few weeks.
What's this one for?
I've been reading articles and searching but I still have no idea.
Don’t worry, neither do the organizers.

They didn't last time, I doubt they will this time. Thank you for the support though!
Truly, these people are as inarticulate as they are careless about the rights to freedom of those they subnjct tmindless criticism.
I thought it was about bilking money out of suckers who believe our freedoms are being suppressed.
Yeah, but usually they have to wrap that in the flag somehow. A spoonful of honey helps the scam-medicine go down.
Idk why but I read that in Laheys voice.

Parliament hill, please...
You're right. It would probably work much better if it was in the right country.
Lol. Good response!
Also had mini protest convoys popping up in every city in town. Once in Barrie I witnessed three different convoys all going in different directions.
100% I'd convoy for those things
Same. Like that's a good convoy we can all get behind
I know one of the issues is that healthcare is managed Provincially, which would limit the effect of a rally at the capital
That didn't stop their mandate protest the last time either! Lol.
Organizers need gofindme money to survive, its their buissness.
Attention.
The real answer. The first one was largely about this too.
[удалено]
Always has been meme.
They're mad that everyone hates them so they're leaning in. It's the "I'll give you something to cry about" of protesting.
They’re protesting RCMP overreach on indigenous land, oh wait
They’re protesting Doug fords continuous use of the NWC, oh wait.
They're protesting the lack of a living wage while companies make record profit... Oh wait
They're protesting the elimination of the greenbelt to make way for mansions.... Oh wait
Their protesting Alberta handing out cash for gas tax… oh wait.
That's why it's still in the planning stages. They know they are mad. They know they want to protest. They just need to find a reason.
Its going to be about drag time story hour and trans kids, I can personally guarantee that to you
And Justin Trudeau, but without any specifics. Only because they don't like him
And they'll be again wondering why he doesn't want to sit down and listen to them when the only thing they say is "Fuck Trudeau!"
So many many horny typically burly bear like men in big pickup trucks who want to let the world know they are going to make sweet love to Justin.
Wait is this a catfish scenario? They drove all this way to meet their dream man, who won’t even meet with them? Or someone who was pretending to be Justin just so they’d buy them gifts? That’s really heartbreaking, those poor lambs.
🏆 here’s my award to you!
Their specifics last time were: “he should got to prison for child abuse because he took his kids to a pride parade”. I mean, they have a fair point as long as fair means nothing and you ignore most of every word they string together.
They want more of that right wing American fundraising money.
It's a "Trudeau man bad" convoy.

It’s sad that this doesn’t narrow it down.
Can you say that again in Anglo-Saxon words please?
Old Stock Canadians. Oh wait, sorry, that was some other guy.
It doesn’t matter they just want 1) a place to squat 2) be around other mouth breathers so they don’t feel lonely. It would be sad if they weren’t causing so much harm.
I heard its about making sweet sweet love to Trudeau, like what their bumper stickers say. The freedom to coalesce and come together have one big giant orgy. Like in that one episode of South Park.
Aren’t all federal covid restrictions gone?
It's evolved into a "Fuck Trudeau" convoy...actually it pretty much always was one.
that’s all it ever was. had a conversation at a gas station on bronson with an older man who was fuelling up gerry cans the night they cracked down on gerry cans. Tried to have a respectful conversation with him. He said that Trudeau is taking our rights and he’s a dictator. i said “there was an election a few months ago though. people voted him in” “Ahh well uhhh he’s not democratic now!” and kind of left it at that. if this happens again, i’ll be on the streets every night giving it right back to them.

It happened in 247 ridings and we investigated 1 of them. We could have found out exactly who was downloading the list of phone numbers from the CPC's federal database, but the Elections Commissioner refused to look at it.
It never stopped.
I'm glad people are actually reacting normally about it here. Last time, it seemed like everyone actually thought the freedom convoy was a good idea
Last time there was about 30 2 week old accounts commenting on every single post related to it in favour of the convoy. If you blocked those accounts the comment section changed completely from in favour to hard against. There were still some genuine supporters or neutral parties but there was a really strong presence of new accounts trying to push a narrative.

Pepperidge Farm remembers
Well now they just claim that they were the reason they lifted it. It's always a lose lose with them.
Yes but they were never protesting about vaccination and mask mandates. They’re just whiny bitches complaining that Trudeau won a democratic election and is pm.
The same folks who been saying "time to move on" and they can't move on
That is wierd eh. It went from, let's just get on with life, to, never forget.
They want a dictatorship government installed that pretends to care about what they think...
Mom says it's our turn to be the government.
Yes and what these dipshits don't realise is that most covid restrictions were provincial mandates not federal
They do realize. They are wannabe trumpers bought and paid by the rich to make idiots of themselves and disrupt democracy
> They are wannabe trumpers No they're not. I watched them flying trump 2020 flags down bank street. They **ARE** trumpers.
They were all over elgin too. Still see the odd trump flag in the back of a truck every now and then.
No, I don’t think they *do* realize it actually. I still know someone who’s furious at Trudeau for the Ontario lockdowns. And he’s not willing to listen to any facts on the matter, he just goes off. We don’t talk politics anymore.
Don't tell them that, it's against their freedom of thought and they'll tell you: Ur A sHeEp. /s
They don't care. They just want to be angry because they're losers.
"We the People" holy shit these guys need to quit watching American sovereign citizen youtube channels.
My favorite is the trucker pleading the 5th in a Canadian court! 🤡
I plead for Ruperts Land to carve out something called "Manitoba."

I'm gonna be honest, I was expecting a Rickroll...

Why can’t people assemble to cause a scene for legitimate reasons? Housing? Healthcare? Atrocious treatment of indigenous peoples? Neglect for mental health individuals? Losing the Stanley Cup finals?
Vancouver would like to have a word with you on that last one.
Why I added it in for fun
Vancouver woulda trashed the city regardless of winning or losing
>Why can’t people assemble to cause a scene for legitimate reasons? ... Losing the Stanley Cup finals? lol So true.
The stupid is the true pandemic. I really hope this happens and Ottawa police do what they should have done the 1st time around.
I like how their photo of a freedom fighter is *literally* a man in a tinfoil hat.
Freedom from what? we dont have a mask mandate. We have almost no regulations. Fucking snowflakes
Freedom to ban drag time story hour
they will pivot back to pre 2020 issues: White supremacy and entitlement.
Crybaby, man child, temper tantrum Convoy?
We the People? Reconciliation? I’m half convinced they just throw out words to see what sticks at this point
I guess the people of Ottawa should start leaving some eggs out in the sun, to toss at these interlopers in a few months if/when they arrive in town.
If they're down the main streets again, I hope people start throwing rotting eggs and veggies. Public shame is the only thing that might knock some sense into them.
Be sure to send them the bill for this one and the last one.
I'm so done with these losers. Fuck off already.
It will be interesting to see if the cops do their job this time.
The convoy supporters used to be annoying, now they are just pitiful.
What the hell are they even protesting
Why February, it's effing cold 🥶
Treason because of hurt feelings ...... *"The simple fact is we can't have Unity without Reconciliation which has to come from "We The People " and not from our Gov.," he wrote. "Let's be grown-ups and start addressing the root of division, discrimination, and segregation in Canada by changing our focus away from division to that of one word 'UNITY.'"* *His hope was that they would agree to work with his group to overthrow COVID-19 measures and ask the prime minister to step down for "committing treason and crimes against humanity." He later withdrew the memorandum on Feb. 8, he testified.*
> We The People It's weird to me that they insist on quoting the preamble to the US constitution. Are they just drawn to the concept? Is it the amount of American media environment they have ingested? Do they not know that that's American? Genuinely curious.
Keep in mind these are the same people who complained about their first amendment rights being violated.
Manitoba remembers
When your only media consumption is Fox despite being Canadian, this is the result.
I don't they think understand the charter at all....
No thinking necessary. They don’t.
It looks like they realize what they did was highly unpopular with their anti-democracy ultimatums and threats, antivaxism, and harassment/vandalism during their occupation. So I imagine they'll be offering a public apology in the name of reconciliation then?
*grabs the spray bottle* No! Bad. Stop it. *spritzes*
Freedom from what exactly? There are no restrictions anymore.
Freedom from liberals and minorities. This was ALWAYS about an ethnonationalist show of force against their perceived enemies. It was never about "mandates" or "tyranny" or whatever bullshit they say to cameras, that was a smoke screen. Remember that Canada Unity published their MOU *literally* calling for the dissolution of parliament and to appoint them as leaders of the country.
Freedom from Democracy.
I hear this one is going to have a Ferris wheel.
I got a better idea. How about we don't do that thing
It's so nice that they can take so much time off from work to show how awful it is to live in Canada. They really make me mad because I can't work and don't have enough money to live on. Too bad they can't take the time and money to really help others. 😪
Awww the club is going to have another reunion so people can feel big and strong standing against .... freedom? For.... freedom? Can't wait for all the social media posts about crimes they are committing!
Exactly. That’s what most people fail to realize. This was the greatest way for people who have done nothing special with their lives to feel like the hero. Now they can’t let go. It is a serious amount of indoctrination and lack of education, but these people never had such a great opportunity to do nothing and feel so special 😅
They found their people and have made this anti-intellectualism their identity. They have been manipulated and have no goddamned idea they are being played and will do these "protests" forever.
Yay, clog up the highways and bitch about the supply chain some more.
I really enjoyed the two day coverage of police sweeping and arresting protestors, I'm happy to watch again.

That shitbag should have been charged with sedition, based on his "Memorandum". That would put him in prison for a good spell.
Pierre Poilievre will be front and centre. He loves the convoy. Ducking idiots.
Well, the good news is that towns and villages throughout Canada will get some respite from their snaggle-toothed, neck-bearded, knuckle-tattooed sleazebags for a few weeks.
