I use to listen to NPR, CNN, MSNBC. I come from a liberal educated family as well as myself studied liberal arts.

I use to read all the liberal news and believe all of it! It’s not our fault. There’s supposed to help educate the public, but they are so biased and have an agenda. It’s really hard to know what to believe anymore. It’s on the right too! I’m not picking sides, I’m just saying mainstream media has an agenda no matter what side your on. It’s really hard unless your professional journalist to get to the bottom of this stuff. We’re all just trying to out food on the table. I don’t have time to research this shit! I honestly quit watching the news. I know that’s says a lot about my privilege because not everyone can. If do watch the news, I’m mindful about their agenda and biases.
All truths are half truths. I’m partially right and you’re partially right too. We need to synthesize our perspectives to get a complete understanding of the world. No one single person has all the answers.
It's on video. Here's what residents have to put up with:

The Canadian people are generally VERY supportive of the truckers.
Honking horns all day and all night, emitting diesel fumes into people's homes, and harassing people who wear masks isn't peaceful.
Maybe you are. The majority of Canadians aren't.

What a let down. No violence. No destruction of property. No burning , looting or pillaging . They call THAT a "protest" ?? We have to send them some BLM'ers and Anti-Fa's to show them how it's supposed to be done.

You're making a straw-man argument. BLM has nothing to do with this. Honking your horn in front of homes all day and all night, idling your truck in residential areas and giving off poisonous fumes, and harassing people for wearing masks, is not peaceful and is not acceptable.

Sean Devine went to the blockade with the intent of speaking to as many people in the convoy as possible.
“I don’t want to take away anyone’s right to protest, but I wanted them to hear that they’re having a negative impact on the citizens of Ottawa,” said Devine, who said about two-thirds of drivers in the convoy agreed to talk.
“Most of the people I spoke to were surprised at the resistance. I think the convoy is under the false impression that they have unwavering popular support. It helps them to see opposition.”

This hyper-emotional overreaction by Trudeau is nothing short of chilling and should serve as a warning to any population that is considering ceding more powers to its government.
And let's stop overplaying the horn honking. They stopped that once a judge ordered them to.

I am actually Canadian. I was actually THERE for awhile. It's really disappointing to read so many misinformed posts here, obviously linked back over and over from MSM time and time again. And then people just parrot the MSM lies. So disappointing.

exactly. this is f--ing terrifying. freezing bank accounts? what the actual F

It's not necessary to be there to see what's going on. There are plenty of videos showing what's happening there. There are plenty of residents who are there, telling what they're going through. Here's one:

I support the right to protest, but not the right to disrupt the lives of others. The people living there have nothing to do with this. The autoworkers who can't work, due to automakers shutting down production lines because they can't get parts, due to the blockade, have nothing to do with this.
Re: Trucker border blockade..
It's a mess, that's for sure..
I hope it get straightened out soon!
Re: Trucker border blockade..
Here's what the people who live there, think of the protesters:

Re: Trucker border blockade..
I stated right at the start of this thread that I supported protest but NOT blockade or disruption.
I had no problem with judges telling them to stop the horn honking nor with the police ordering them to move their trucks and open up roadways. Some of the arrests were clearly justified. All done under existing Canadian laws.
My problem is with Trudeau. His equating the protesters with Nazis and their symbols with swastikas. There is zero evidence of either. And worse yet his assumption of dictatorial , Emergency powers and application of same. His father had a big ego and was a big government guy BUT he never ruled as a dictator and believed in freedom and pluralism. He probably rolled over in his grave with Justin's blackface routine. His latest probably has him spinning.

There were flags with swastikas.

One of the protest leaders said, "the only way this will get solved is with bullets," as well as putting out white supremacist conspiracy theories. Please see the video I posted in one of my previous posts:

Re: Trucker border blockade..
^^but does this reflect the majority of protesters or a small minority?
the real problem here is government using their power to freeze bank accounts and cancel credit cards. that is frightening. like is this Canada or North Korea/China? is the threat to seize/euthanize protesters' pets real or fake news? WTF Trudeau
