fukn loled. funny enough I was a bit late for my dentist appointment. inb4 JAIL.Castro has been a clown overreaching and overstepping his authority while dividing Canadians.lol. I mean the country is 70% white, guessing the organizers were from Western Canada which is even more white. Most of the diversity is in Toronto/Montreal/Vancouver. I don't really give a chit either way. At least anecdotally from my minority friends/family (I'm also a minority myself) more than half of us support the truckers and even more of us think that Trudeau needs to go. It's mostly the boomers anyway that don't although ironically many of the people out there are boomers. But alot of the young people support what they are doing. there was even a muslim friday prayer near the convoy in ottawa dedfknsrs.

typically i dislike people bringing race into this and race hustling (from both sides). but it's usually the liberal side that injects white supremacy into everything in attempts to deflect and distract from the main issues and as if they speak for all of them. which leaves the more conservative side playing defense against the liberal media. having to play their game and prove (sometimes in a cringeworthy way) they are not racists. there's an instagram page called poc4freedomconvoy srs lol. I think a lot of people have their own reasons in general for why they oppose the mandates and all the division the PM has caused.

What do you think the demographic breakdown of truckers might be?

So now they're protesting mandates and division?

Nah. This act didn't exist then.

If Toronto is an example, it is 99% punjabi

When we were literally at war with Japan, who was on the other side during a massive global conflict. You forgot that part.

“It’s ok as long as it is for the right reasons”

As of 2016, visible minorities accounted for 24.5% of truck drivers in Canada, up from 3.5% in 1996. South-Asian drivers account for 17.8% of the overall truck driving population as of 2016, up from 1.8% in ‘96. In Vancouver and Toronto, the number of South-Asian drivers is even higher, at 55.9% and 53.9%

Immigrants from South Asia have accounted for a massive shift in the demographics of Canada’s truck drivers, according to research conducted by Newcom Media’s editorial teams, drawing on more than 25 years of Canada Census data.

Don't quote actual facts. ITT people hate that.

Just so I’m following…

In American an insurrection involves boomers walking around taking selfies. In Canada an insurrection is honking horns and bounce houses. Here I thought an insurrection was a violent uprising against authority/government.

Dark times are upon us boyos

Full Definition of insurrection
An act or instance of revolting against civil authority or an established government

https://www.merriam-webster.com/dictionary/insurrection

"It's okay as long as I leave out the most important part of the argument because it negates my point completely."

It was totally cool to revolt against Trump though.....because orange man bad

We literally had "political leaders" telling people to get in the streets, get angry, demanding civil unrest, and telling others to "get in people's faces"

They aren't using that act.

So is protesting an insurrection?

When the act of exposing a crime is treated as committing a crime, you are being ruled by criminals.

we should confine and detain Canadian citizens originally from the countries we are at war with, including the offspring who were born in Canada. For the "right" reasons of course. too bad, you were born the wrong ethnicity, just lol @ ethnic-cels.

Has anyone ITT been directly negatively impacted by this trucker protest?

Is J.L.C. a Canadian? appears to be the biggest commenter against the truckers


The media on the ground especially the independent media is documenting complete opposite as to what the Canadian government, CA tv and US liberal media is saying


nb4 the RCMP is in disguise as truckers and are the real agitators just like the FBI did on 1/6

Whenever there is the need of mass censorship, you also know you are being ruled by criminals

Criminals wouldn't fear the free flow of information

Its like the 2020 United States election, where any questioning of fraud was treated as a near-criminal act and censored. They deemed it the "most safe and secure election in history" with zero real auditing or investigation. Yet it was perfectly fine to say the 2016 election was stolen from Hillary and "hacked by Russia" which was all based on a dossier funded by the Hillary campaign which we now know was all bullchit (yet no one was prosecuted).

Its insanity.

No. But this hasn't been a protest for a while now.

Yes, I'm Canadian.

Yes, I've been impacted.

Not sure why that's relevant.

No, I have nothing against truckers, far from it. Nor have I said anything against truckers. But, this movement isn't about truckers.

what impacts have you personally experienced ? travel delays, sleepless nights?


its not about truckers, but the truckers have the strongest flex along with farmers for the people's protest against government over reach / mandates

if that is not it then what is it...since I seen you reply its hasnt been a protest in a while

its like threads of American politics and you get people from across the globe leaving their comments who only get news from their sources and not knowing what is actually happening


you are directly involved, a Canadian citizen, Im not there, I dont use Canadian media so asking a local is relevant if you ask me

its like that one Canadian dude that post on here jaroctor, dude always comments on US politics and is always wrong

It's been detailed several times in this thread.

Canadian truckers were not impacted by the Federal mandate.

The other protections were/are provincial.

Leaders of the movement want to form government

Leaders of the movement have demanded the PM resign.

yeah not gonna go thru 80 pages thats why I directly asked this morning and hanging around to get an answer


So you are on the side that believes this is an actual legitimate attempt to take over the Canadian government.


as an outsider and going by what US government is trying to pull, and seeing the same in UK, France, Austria, Germany, Austrailia etc they are all doing the exact same chit to their people
there are so many similarities of this and 1/6... pretty creepy how much the same.... even seen Trudeau bring up the American boogey man of the KKK/ Confederate flags at these protest..
That chit had me cracking up...Canadians have concerns / issues over US Confederacy

Its basically the same globalists strategy white pole are racists, white supremacists, etc

Regardless of you views on this current "protest" you dont find these similarities around the world a bit odd?

It's the similarities in particular that I find telling.

Division is the goal.

AIER and WEF are just opposite sides of the same coin.

The majority of this movement's finding is foreign.

It honestly blows my mind that some people are so brainwashed that they literally can't see this. They can't see the patterns, the hypocrisy, and the outright lies.

Psychology is truly amazing.

Indeed.

Ffs please stop responding to JLC and woofie.

So now that the truckers bank accounts are being frozen and a decent amount of Canadians are ok with this, it pretty much confirms what I suspected. A large number of people in the west are ok with tyranny as long as it's directed towards the opposite side.
More specifically, progressives are ok with tyranny as long as it's directed towards conservatives.

The next few days are crucial to see how this plays out. I'm really hoping this unites the left and the right against tyranny.

Well, totally. Its just keeping the people safe. These are dangerous insurrectionists trying to overthrow Democracy that we are talking about. Need to freeze and seize their bank accounts for the safety of Democracy. Totally understandable.

In all seriousness, I doubt this unites anyone currently not aware of what is going on against tyranny. Anyone that still doesn't "get it" at this point is a lost cause and too far gone.

Why do you find disagreement through civil discourse so off-putting?
