    The polls say otherwise.

    Fact check: Strong majority of Canadians oppose convoy protests, poll after poll finds

    This thread is disturbing but rather predictable. Liberals sided with Soyboy while free thinkers in here sided with freedom aka the truckers.

    The cool self-assuredness of loud, obnoxious antivaxxers like @AroundTheWorld @tinman and @Commodore frequently runs aground on the shoals of truth.



    Reminds me of the 1/6 terrorists crying after they got arrested. Oops!

    You hate to see it.

    Especially when it comes to money to pay off debts.

    Who is scared? You mean the majority of people who don’t want the convoy? The longer this plays out the worse it is for those truckers. More and more people will be against them

    My Canadian friends say they are tired of Trudeau and that they were initially supportive of the truckers, but that (as portrayed by the media) some bad apples infiltrated the truckers which now makes it hard to still support them.

    However, wanting them to go home doesn't mean also supporting Trudeau stealing their assets (without as much as a court order) like the Chinese government would.

    Also, nice try - ATW is not an anti-vaxxer.

    Typical move by disingenuous leftists like Sammyboi - misrepresent someone else's position. When you cannot keep up intellectually, which is unfortunately ambulance chaser ScamFisher's problem - smear them.

    The provision to freeze assets isn't that controversial here. The reason for this is that the government couldn't get court orders to limit funding fast enough as protestors could constantly switch banks. So the emergencies act just allows the government to directly issue orders to banks to speed up the process.

    You have to understand that it became clear early on that a majority of this funding was coming from outside of Canada and that in turn poisoned the perception of these rallies. This is yet another example of how the truckers screwed the whole thing up. By openly allying with the American right and accepting funding from the US, it fed right into the hands of the government. This went from a basic protest against Canadian pandemic restrictions into an extension of American right wing conservatism.

    So in turn, the government became the defenders of Canada because the protestors were now an extension of American right. And this also has the counter-productive effect of increasing support for pandemic restrictions because Canadians don't want to be perceived as governing like the US. I'll say it again but we'll actually have restrictions lifted slower because of these morons.

    How can that possibly not be unconstitutional?

    You are describing why the government likes it for their own convenience and practicality, but do you realize how much of a violation of the constitutional rights of those affected that is?
