You'll have to forgive me for not jumping in with a crew of people that think wasting time and thousands of liters of diesel fuel is going to make Trudeau change anything. I don't necessarily hate the goal, but the execution of it is so fucking stupid.
Do you know what the execution is? I sure don't at this point in time. The messaging has been pretty unclear to date.Quote:

And in that case, Trudeau actually would have to give in at some point. He can't just let gas stations run out of fuel, and grocery stores to run out of food.
So is their intention the above? Or is it just a big retard rally for the sake of it?
This is what I was going to say. What's the message?Quote:

If people would just get vaxxed then there's obviously less need for restrictions. If people want freedom to not get vaxxed then they can't expect the freedom to go around spreading a disease.
I can choose to get drunk or drive my car. I can't get drunk and then drive my car because it endangers the lives of others. Pretty fucking simple.
Mandatory blow boxes in every vehicle. Can’t be too careful.Quote:

From what I've been seeing they are anti-mandates, and that most of them are vaxxed.Quote:

On a basic level I support anything that burns fuel, and overall I like trucks honking their horns, reminds me of good times at the overpass as a kid. Don't think Trudeau, or anyone east of Winnipeg, will give a single shit. Also don't think this will look particularly big once it gets east of Winnipeg either. Maybe I'm a cynic, but I'm guessing most of the folks in the pics from the weekend were day-trippers.
Real winners are the folks running the fundraising. Ka-fucking-ching baby!. Freedom is a great business!

Also trying to figure out which one of the members on my ignore list this Turkey99 dude is. Probably doesn't matter
Not on anyone's ignore list, that I know of... signed up a few years back when I was living out of country and missing home. Didn't post a lot until I moved back.Quote:

Good group of minds here, I enjoy that people say what they're thinking.
Vaccine mandates are basically completely unenforceable.Quote:

Well... If my grandmother needs to go to the hospital for something like chest pains, I'd prefer her "journey of care" to exclude getting CoVid from an HCA who never got her Grade-10 and lives in a trailer walking distance from the the town's bar.Quote:

Like you are thinking that because people were hospitalized, that it was serious, whereas the question that should have been asked in the first place is whether plopping them in a hospital would be of any help.
And you do understand that this thing is going to always be endemic, because holy shit if I need to explain to you that there's always going to be people that are unvaccinated and if you can't figure that out on your own, you're even dumber than I first thought.
I'd retort but since Reading >> You....Quote:

Oof. Are you even a real person? This sounds like such a non-sequitur response from an NPC who ran out of speech options. Turn your brain back on dude.Quote:

If there is anything that has been learned from covid.. is that all common sense is completely gone and people are either one sided or the other and don't give a shit about the middle.Quote:
