Thoughts: Freedom Convoy 2022

[DonJuan]

^ I'd find that so distracting. I'd take up smoking just to go watch, especially a spicy protestor + counter protestor one.

There's spies everywhere.

I'm not even kidding.

There would be more if you quit closing your blinds at night

We went to a weekly outdoor market in Chestermere last night. One of the vendors had a proud sign saying 10% of all proceeds go to Action4Canada - which as you might suspect is a right-wing group assembled to fight the government and their policies - and was also a strong player in support of the so-called "Freedom Convoy".

In any event, I started wondering if posting this sign was more likely to prompt a potential customer to buy from them, or if it actually did the opposite. For the record, I'm all for keeping the government accountable, but not in favour of any kind of radicalization to do it. I checked my phone quickly to ensure my suspicions about the org were correct, then just passed right past their stall. I'm sorry - I'm not interested in part of my payment going to a group which degrades Canada.

What was the name of the vendor? I’d like to buy something.

Oh yeah, there were a few times they'd start yelling at each other.

Some of the protests were just nuts - one was "Expose the UFOs! Aliens are REAL!" And it was a good sized crowd.

[ExtraSlow]

I was at that one.

I saw you. I was at the counter protest. I don't want the aliens exposed. They can keep their pants on like the rest of us.

[ExtraSlow]

I expose my alien pretty often.

The grays are real, and they're in ES's trousers.

I'm more about marches or parades. I was at the Cancer march and I participated plus donated some money to cure cancer. Then I went to the Pride Parade and donated some money so they can cure Gay.

This is the kind of deep self loathing I can really get behind.

You must spread some Reputation around before giving it to ThePenIsMightier again.

Maintaining your rights is now considered "radicalization". Interadasting.

As opposed to schools fundraising for We Charity to pay the PM's mother and brother $238k+?

I don't agree with these extreme right parties but at least they're not trying to forcibly indoctrinate children.

The Freedom convoy in Britain seems to have a great turnout today.

I'm not sure I would call it "closeted" when the door is wide open and we can all see him. #ISupportPenisMightier

Anyone who thinks the trucker convoy and supporters has anything whatsoever to do with being a right-wing radical group, is the one who is radicalized. The group that degrades Canada is the federal government, and a lot of your payment is funding it.
