Ivanhoe Posted June 7 Share Posted June 7 Here's the (non)apology from the school principal; I shall note that in Canada, Pride Month has run over National Indigenous History Month. Intersectionality at its best. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not especially. The convoy participants had little public support. Polling at the time was something like 85% against. It didn't changer policy at the time and I doubt it will if s similar situation happens again. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
glenn239 Posted June 14 Share Posted June 14 IMO, it wasn't the level of public support that scared the shit out of the Liberals, (15% support is BS I think, probably more like 35%). It was the fact that they were on the verge of mass organized protests that they did not have even a fraction of the resources, (police, etc.) to deal with.

Lot's of people I bump into have at least sympathy for them, if not outright support. Get out of the major city and that grows. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rmgill Posted June 15 Share Posted June 15 I am still amused by the Canadian Communist party ( in all but name ) denigrating a true workers’ movement. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
R011 Posted June 15 Share Posted June 15 Based on his track record, if Glenn says 35%, he's off by an order of magnitude - at least in our world. Mass protests? Wishful thinking. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BansheeOne Posted June 16 Share Posted June 16 Well, if statistically speaking every million of social media posts fired by Russian bot artillery increased public support for the truckers by one point, we can assume total support was 350 percent, the balance to 100 being made up by the public of other NATO countries identifying as Canadian ...

Get out of the major city and that grows. I don't think it was as high as 50% though. In particular urbanites despised everything about the protestors. But that wasn't going to help the government, which did not have the resources to deal with a big slice of inceasingly pissed off people who had had absolutely enough of the lockdown bullshit.

Colin Posted June 16 Share Posted June 16 The challenge for the Freedom Convoy is that they were not the usual "Professional Protesters" They did not know how to play the game and were also not a united group. They would have been more effective to have left earlier and then cranked up the social media campaign. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JWB Posted July 7 Share Posted July 7 For decades Canada’s national security establishment has sounded the alarm about foreign authoritarian interference. Their dire warnings fell on the deaf ears of a political class bedazzled by China’s potential to counterbalance Canada’s dependence on American markets.

EchoFiveMike Posted July 7 Share Posted July 7 People project their own mentality on others. It's inevitable. That's why the urban shitlibs were so terrified by the trucker movement. The shitlibs know what they would have done had they the same mass as the truckers, and it certainly wasn't what happened. S/F....Ken M Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
