Trucker Protest in Canada

[K Graham]

It would benefit the rule of law, and everyone else.

So you want them prosecuted. You will probably get your wish.

Which is contrary to your wishes obviously. Because law breakers are cool if they're white and fighting against anything Democrats support. Like common sense "follow the science" mitigation measures during a global pandemic. Us regular folks had to deal with international restrictions because of COVID for two years. It was a pain in the ass for me and my wife to constantly go through testing as we crossed back and forth over borders. But we didn't bitch and moan about it nor did we act like we had some special rights to avoid all laws. So what makes these truckers feel so special and entitled? Right wing media pumping more entitlement mentality and ignorance into their pathetic little brains.

Maybe the truckers don't see your choice of first class vacations as relevant as their livelihood. Could be.

They’re free to choose alternate accommodations in the penitentiary if they want to commit any chargeable stupidity while throwing their lengthy tantrum.

Still dancing around the obvious fact that you believe their lawlessness should go unpunished simply because they're white criminals.

You Republicans are so damned retarded you kill your own people with vaccine dodges because you think it hurts the Democrats. You bitch and moan about supply chain issues and blame Biden, but then you cheer when it happens with a bunch of redneck Truckers, many of whom are white supremacists.

How smart is it really to risk your entire livelihood over this stupidity? These people live in their trucks 24/7 listening to talk radio no doubt. That crap gets hammered into their skulls and it festers. They should have all of their vehicles impounded and they should have their CDL licenses stripped from them. They're not special. They don't get to “F” up everyone else's lives around them because of an idiotic tantrum over quarantining which is something we all have to deal with.

Ottawa Police have provided an update on the ongoing efforts to combat disruption
“More resources means a faster set of results to end this unlawful demonstration,” says Police Chief Peter Sloly.

He says 12 trucks from the Coventry Road area have left, as have ten from Wellington Street. Firewood and fuel are being taken from protesters and charges made. To date, there have been 25 arrests and 1,550 tickets issued.

Mr Sloly says progress is being made but more resources are still needed.

To demonstrators thinking of coming to the city this weekend, Chief Sloly says: “Don’t. There will be accountability for any unlawful activity.”

Mr Sloly says more and more Royal Canadian Mounted Police officers are being brought in, and more Greater Toronto and Hamilton Area officers are coming in 24 to 48 hours to help.

Ontario Provincial Police officers are helping to triage resources in the city and across the province.

“Let me be clear, there is no reluctance to be involved in enforcement efforts. We’ve been enforcing the law from day one and we continue to so as more resources become available,.” says Chief Sloly.

Ottawa Police refute claim they’ve been ordered to return fuel.
No, the police will not return fuel that has been confiscated.

For me, there's something unsettling about the sight of a Black police chief being undone by a group of predominantly white men flouting laws. - https://threadreaderapp.com/thread/1489 ... 54789.html

K Graham, dial it down. That is not what I believe.

Can we call this the racist card? You are playing your racist card, right? How many of those do you have?

Stop dancing. Just say what you've already demonstrated to believe. You think those white truckers are heroes not criminals. The existing laws shouldn't apply to them nor be enforced against them. They're "populists" right?

Canada has one of the highest vaccination rates in the world, with about 4 in every 5 Canadians fully vaccinated, according to data from Johns Hopkins University. Nearly 90% of Canada's truckers are fully vaccinated and eligible to cross the border, according to the government.

What have been some of the impacts so far? The blockades have slowed the movement of goods and caused production issues at a number of car manufacturing plants along the border. Ford, General Motors and Stellantis all announced production issues due to the blockade.

Further, about 60 to 70 vehicles were attempting to disrupt traffic at Ottawa International Airport on Thursday by circling the arrivals and departure terminals, the airport said in a statement. Videos on social media showed a handful of vehicles driving around near a street close to the airport carrying Canadian flags and honking.

So they're flouting their lawlessness as the epitome of white privilege. These morons are so minority they don't even represent a significant percentage of truckers. They were probably upset about BLM protests too. Not because some committed crimes, but because backing the blue is all that matters. Unless they're coming after white people.

You are the only one referring to the truckers by their race, K Graham. What in the hell makes you think they are all white? You certainly did not get that idea or suggestion from me.

You are playing a racist card. I get it. And I am rejecting the taunt and the BS. If you have an issue with the truckers race or level of education or the fact that they work and are not retired, own it. Do not assign your guilty feelings and shame to others. I reject it outright.
