Some Canadian truckers being interviewed:

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Jtu6NtErmbQ

I liked these parts:

Where the protesters complain about the police infringing upon their activities, but then show how they’ve self-deputized their own internal force to take care of folks who they think will cause them trouble.

Where the protesters complain about the government taking their freedoms away, while those protesters clog city streets and prevent other citizens from exercising their own freedom to come and go, sleeep or travel as they please.

Where the protesters claim that a One World Government is coming to subject everyone to ‘something’, but then those same protesters sit dumbstruck and doe-eyed, preached to and uncritically drinking in talk of how they’re part of The Plan™️ - itself a type of One World Government - and how they must trust it without question.

It’s interesting to watch folks who enjoy more freedom, prosperity and good fortune than most other people on earth complain about how they cannot merely toss aside their responsibility to their own community whenever they decide to adopt a conspiracy theory demanding that they do so.

There are about a thousand unintended and underdiscussed problems that have arisen from these assholes’ refusal to do the right thing. It’s outrageous, and yet, here we are.

Those who don't follow recommendations, including vaccinations, are the primary reason we are still in a pandemic. Some of them are certainly assholes, but most are good people, who for a number of reasons don't understand what their actions are casing on society. I just wonder how you communicate facts to people who are so dead set on believing BS.

Yup.

The division is between a huge (circa 90%) majority of Canadians who are vaccinated and pro removal of those obstructing the roads of the capital, and what some have been misleadingly calling "the people".
