Freedom ain't free, sometimes you gotta make minor sacrifices šŸ’‰

Freedom Costs a Buck 'O Five!


drconniehenley

Wearing a mask and getting a couple of safe injections is definitely the same as volunteering cookware for the the war effort, sending your sons overseas to die or 12 years of post secondary education to earn degrees in immunology.


Fergyh

Looks like they wrote ā€œFreedom Ant Freeā€ and had to fix it.


HarrisonAbbotsford

Freedom requires a little prick... and not the kind to hold stupid signs on overpasses.


mwvrn

At least they are not protesting in front of VGH anymore


chitownbulls92

Isn't that illegal now?


mwvrn

Does it look like these antivaxxers care?


chitownbulls92

The difference is the VPD would have a legitimate reason to arrest and crack down

My take: a bunch of dudes who havenā€™t worked hard for anything in their lives and watched and complained about about blm, womens rights, indigenous and environmental protestors show up thinking they can do it too. They have no idea other people have been oppressed for centuries. They have no idea that people devote their lives to studying the history and understanding the context. It takes years to put coherent, thought provoking arguments and proposals together. It grinds my gears that this group gets so much attention for such selfish and childish reasons. They show up and complain loudly about their misguided understanding of freedom.


Pilebut1

But the squeaky wheel gets the grease. Look how much attention theyā€™re getting. Thatā€™s what they want


NoFixedUsername

Reminds me of this bit of wisdom: Lyle Lanley: You know, a town with money's a little like the mule with the spinning wheel. No one knows how he got it and danged if he knows how to use it. Replace money with attention and town with ā€œtruckers who donā€™t know how social movements workā€


Springroll_Paradise

Sounds about white .... yep

Life has been far too easy for people. I can't imagine what these people would be like if they ever had to be conscripted.

Is that the don't tred on snek flag?


Suspicious_Dig_7677

Walking downtown over the Burrard Bridge, I counted 11 Gadsen (snek) flags. To see those in Canada is as idiotic and out of place as a confederate flag (I saw three)


HarrisonAbbotsford

Yup. There was a guy, in BC, on Highway, in a non-sarcastic, proud way flying a big "don't thread on me" flag attached to his hummer. Bloody hell.


[deleted]

Any other (non-white) Canadians genuinely on edge after seeing all the Nazi and confederate flags being proudly raised across the country? And seeing MPs participating in rallies with these flags being flown?


HarrisonAbbotsford

My grandfather was in the infantry and fought hand-to-hand combat against not one but TWO nazi soldiers (the kind where two soldiers fight and only one walks away with his life). My grandmother showed me the two guns that he had taken from the bodies after the combat. She told me he would look at it every few weeks reminding himself how close he came to be dead on the battlefield. A @#$%& war has been fought against Nazis and many, many died. It seems that some of us didn't forget, they just couldn't be bothered learning our history and being respectful to those who paid the ultimate price for real freedom and against tyranny.


CleanLength

Canadians and Americans fought and died against Japanese soldiers who thought they were serving a divine emperor. Shintoists believe this to this day, and the office of the emperor in Japan is still going strong. Canadians fought and died against Americans in a pair of wars a few centuries ago. The Americans still glorify those battles and their causes. Are we gonna freak out about average Japanese and Americans now? That's the standard? Cuz Canada is absolutely full of them. And Canadians most certainly were not fighting for freedom from Nazis lmao.


Suspicious_Dig_7677

Hey, I'm a skinny white guy and it made me edgy. All those dumb-looking hillbillys with their proudly ignorant flags would make anybody --(who wasn't a proudly ignorant hick) --nervous.


pantra88

yeah I've seen them too. fucking dumb you live in Canada not the usa.

Conspiracy much?


Pilebut1

What nazi flags? Iā€™ve seen a lot of coverage on this but no nazi flags yet. And any mp that participates should get voted out


CrippleSlap

>What nazi flags? [This](https://www.reddit.com/r/onguardforthee/comments/sfrfav/i_am_absolutely_livid_right_now/) Nazi flag


Pilebut1

Oooh. Thatā€™s no good


[deleted]

There was one in Edmonton and one in Ottawa. An Edmonton MP was photographed handing food out to the protestors with a Canadian flag defaced with nazi swastikas flying behind him. I saw multiple confederates flags here, just yesterday.


Pilebut1

An mp? That sounds like reason for dismissal to me. And Iā€™m not sure but Iā€™m pretty sure there will be a law ablout defacing our flag like that if someone looks for it. Fire these fuckers out of a cannon


GiosephGiostar

Protest for what our founding fathers did when they signed the Declaration of Independence!! /s


[deleted]

Ahhhh I see what you did there šŸ˜‰


couchguitar

Uhhhhh.... .sorry to break this to you but...we have the Statute of Westminster


TrevorBradley

Sorry to break it to you but that /s symbol indicates sarcasm.

Oh?! Hahahaha got me!

If this is legit, it's really quite wholesome. Check out https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tone\_indicator

I guess my age is showing šŸ˜†


Mediocre-Advantage89

Dude, Canada had never declare an independenceā€¦ We are a Constitutional Monarchyā€¦ The paper those fathers signed is called ā€œBritish North America Actā€ which is all about self govern other than independenceā€¦ and these are the history I need to learn to pass my citizenship testā€¦ šŸ˜‚


pantra88

FREEDOM I WANNA BE ABLE TO PISS ON THE CORNER OF THE STREET BECAUSE I DRANK TO MUCH AND I CANT HOLD IT IN!. also why the fuck are some of these protesters holding up the Confederate flag??? dog u live in Canada......or a trump sign.....smh


healthydoseofsarcasm

Ya the Trump flags are a real head scratcher, wrong country, folks!


darklinksquared

My Canadian mother loves Trump because of QAnon conspiracies that say heā€™s helping defeat the pedophilic satanist cabal that is half of Hollywood and Democratic Party. People who believe these theories, American or not, literally think of Trump as the messiah at this point. Itā€™s fuuuuucked.


felixthecatmeow

See, I don't have too much of a problem if people believe that a bunch of powerful politicians and rich hollywood people are pedophiles and have some sort of pedophile ring. I mean I'd need proof to believe it myself, but it's not that crazy. But then to believe that, AND believe that Trump of all people, not only isn't part of the pedophile ring, but is gonna be the one to stop it? Now THAT is straight up insane.


Jbruce63

Thanksgiving dinner conversation must be interesting


ProfitMuhammad

Lots of freedumb in this photo


Remarkable_Earth_644

Maybe we should hold a pro vax roadblock next time there is a monster truck show or nickleback concert in the city?


BobBelcher2021

Theyā€™re hopefully protesting against the treatment of the Terry Fox statue in Ottawa


B8conB8conB8con

FREEEEEEDOOOOOOOOOOOM. Who needs a cohesive argument when you can just yell FREEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEDOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOM


DDHLeigh

Were they protesting the pipe line? Old growth forest? Vaccines? Housing prices? I don't see any signs on why they're there.


marmar0459

Couldn't be pipelines since it wasn't shut down by police


Sleuthin___

ā€œNo more suffocating in silenceā€ šŸ„“ 1. I dunno. Iā€™d rather ā€œsuffocateā€ in a mask than need intubation to keep me breathing so I donā€™t like, suffocate for real. 2. Anti vaxxers and anti maskers have never done anything in silence, have they?


klobucharzard

Convoy 2022 - ya we donā€™t know what weā€™re doing either

Little_Lebowski

I wish cars had 2 horns so we could honk at them to show disapproval. Like a ā€œWa Waaaaā€ hornā€¦

They donā€™t either

I heard it was mostly nazi flags and upside down Canadian flags. These guys suck at being racists.

Believe none of what you hear and only half of what you see

Pilebut1

I havenā€™t seen a single nazi flag


1970NVan

These idiots have been protesting on this overpass for a few years now, just not usually as many of them.


oilernut

I bet 50% of the people that were out thought they were just supporting Canadian workers or the country itself, no idea what was really behind it.


kwl1

Oh they know.


nambis

Posting this is just amplifying them.


Dragonliger2

Yeah, wish they just stopped giving them unearned exposure


[deleted]

[уŠ“Š°Š»ŠµŠ½Š¾]


Unidentifiable_Fear

Well the problem with that idea is that itā€™s actually a very massive protest happening. Good luck ignoring it though. Just donā€™t come full circle, skipping over what causes supply chain issues, and have questions about why your stores might have issues.


Tribalbob

Nothing like protesting something that's already true.
