Our fragile medical care system is the reason. It isn't nearly as hearty as the US system. Yes it needs to change, but it can't while it's being over run.

If only they had two years and hundreds of billions $$ to prepare...............

Seems to be a pretty retard rally for most part and like other rallies that the platform is stolen by even louder and more retarded people so it just became annoying noise and ignored.

This one is pretty retarded as they should have driven to White House's front lawn and chanting Let's go Brandon.... oh wait..

Just got neg rep. So sounds like some are catching on that bitching at Trudeau to get Biden to let them in probably won't be very effective.

They had more respect from me when they rally for carbon tax last time and that's actually something could be accomplished. But this one is totally misreading the room other than just typical fuck government rant.

Also, GoFundMe has frozen the fund

On Sunday I was pretty impressed with the amount of Trump flags that were hanging off vehicles in the convoy, that sure helps drive the message home! I also can't help but notice the huge overlap between the group shouting "my body my choice" in regards to vaccination (either pro or anti) and the groups with the signs "abortion is murder". I've have the pleasure of driving by a few protests this past year where signs for both were at the same rally along with the typical "Fuck Trudeau" and "Arrest Hinshaw the Tyrant". I think my favorite one so far has been "My body belongs to Jesus not Justin Trudeau".

I was loading material into my truck the other day at Home Depot when I overheard two of Alberta's finest discuss how "Trump warned us about governments like Trudeau" and since the liberals have deemed the convoy a terrorist organization and the GoFundMe was frozen as proceeds of terrorism that their solution was that we all should just give truckers cash because Trudeau can't take cash from them.

The pandemic has been a hilarious demonstration of how true horseshoe theory is.

Last rally was organized pretty well to make sure all these other elements are out of the convoy if I recall. You can't let other people hijack the message. Stick with one.

I'm not sure if terrorism is the reason. Sounds like Gofundme is looking for clarification on distribution of fund is the official word.

The man with the moustache said terrorism and he looked pretty trustworthy so I'm going to say it was probably terrorism. /s

What they mean to say is: "My body, my choice" and "Her body, my choice".

regardless of money, you think trained medical staff just magically appear? It's not about space or beds or even most equipment it's properly trained people.

People go to the company (organization) that pays the most.
Again, $300 bn goes a long way if its properly managed

I meant the 2019 carbon tax rally to Ottawa. I recalled the organizers publicly denounce other messages that went along with them.

This one is pretty tough to get on board. The head of trucker association won't say the % of vaccinated among its members last night but keep insinuating it matches Canadian average of 85%. If that's true, this is a pretty small minority group that unfortunately with pretty loud voice in a trucker shortage.

If that actually is the case, it should alarm the fuck out of you.

Remember Karens say there is questionable contents at Pornhub and that cut off their source of revenue from CCs? If they want to cut you off, they will find a way.

Wait til cash isn't a thing any more and we moved to digital currency to "save a buck".

Oh I know. But the fact that people applaud it happening just because it's happening to someone they don't like makes me sick. The incoming shift to digital "currency" is a whole other thing......

Except it is bullshit. No one declared them a terrorist organization, and GoFundMe halted the account until the organizer can prove the funds will be going to where it belongs. (as they do with any large charity situation)

Well that's excellent and, why I said "if that actually is the case". I was skeptical but still wanted to bitch.

nobody expected the Jan6 capitol attack to be a terrorist event, until they got there, and it turned in to one, there's still time.

[Pauly Boy]

The comments on the Gofundme are great.

"Medical tyranny"
"This is about wealth not health!"

Personally I don't care about any of this outside my bubble anymore. I've burned through all my fucks right around Best Summer Ever!™. I also I realized the ven diagram of people I don't want to hang around with anyways & the 'BERTA STRONG/ma freedoms/anti-vax crowd are the same circle.

I do look forward to the drama at the end once these neanderthals reach Ottawa though - Maybe we'll get another ol' fashioned capitol heist like in the USA?
