over in the states we haven't heard a lot about this, but apparently #FluTruxKlan has been a thing for a while?

stay safe up there friends

oh dude no it's honestly kind of hilarious how backwards this protest is

it's big and loud because they're using trucks, and the PM and family left their house for security reasons

oh is this funny

afaik it's been just noise? and a tiny percentage of truckers are mad

like when they switched to calling it an "occupation" it sounded serious

yeah a bunch of truckers are butthurt that canada is enforcing a "you must be vaccinated to re-enter the country after delivering to another" and want the PM to remove the mandate

except that USA has a vaccination requirement to ENTER the country at all

and... america is the only place truckers can deliver to

Bah, tittybabies thought they could have their own Jan 6th insurrection. It started as a pushback agaisnt vaccine mandate for truckers but it degenerated to a clusterfuck full of racists and Nazis

so if they have to be vaccinated to go there then why is it a problem that they have to be vaccinated to come back

yeah it's definitely escalated into "nah we brought in the crazies"

vaush had a good video about the logistics and the nazi devolving

I have friends living in Ottawa saying that it has gotten pretty bad in some places, so I’m not surprised they finally decided to use force to contain it

it's a lot of shitty behaviour but nothing world ending, so it looks like they're just getting ahead of the potential escalation which is smart.

damn...

I think it actually is more than noise?

like, this shop said one of their workers were assaulted Moo Shu Ice Cream on Twitter

yeah they've been really bad about food

From what I heard, there’s been a lot of harassment, especially of the women and POC?

there was an altercation at homeless food support/soup kitchens bc they're not giving free food to the protesters

They also invaded a homeless shelter and demanded to be fed

and the protesters are like "WE ARE HOMELESS BC WE'RE AWAY FROM OUR HOMES" which is. fuckin wild

Yeah, what fontech said!

and apparently there are people trapped in their homes, too

imagine being so entitled as to invade a homeless shelter to demand food be taken away from actual people in need.....

Jesus Christ.

My best friend lives downtown adjacent and it's been so stressful for her and her poor cat. :\ And I guess the police are doing fuck all.

Mostly I just feel bad because I'm like, wait, MY country is supposed to be the one to initiate and complete the fall of western civilization, and I'm sorry this is apparently spreading, and also I'm just so fucking exhausted that I can't be as mad as I want to be.

there has been some coverage in the US. like the idiots who were peeing on and defacing statues, the group that harassed workers at a soup kitchen demanding free food,

they threw rocks at an ambulance and then verbally assaulted the EMT when he went to check the damage

and they've been running around with Tr*mp signs and confederate flags and Nazi paraphernalia, which is really worrying

so I'm sorry Canada that our stupidity has bled into your country and infected some of your citizens

whaaaat the fuck

it's like the plot of Canadian Bacon

and that whole stupid thing where even if Canada lifted their vaccine requirement, the US still has theirs! So they still couldn't cross the border! Idiots...

Trucker protests: Ontario calls state of emergency

oh my god

CANADIAN FRIENDS, PLEASE BE SAFE

Let's talk about a development with Canada's trucker...

Apparently these mofos think that they can start arresting people. Jesus effing Christ. I'm so sorry that our stupid has spread.

i wouldn't say this is necessarily american problems bleeding into canadian politics. a lot of this is grifters capitalizing on western alienation and generations of trudeau-hating

many of the convoy leaders are Wexit leaders; they make a living stirring up sentiments of "all of our problems are because of the liberals in the east" so it's not a surprise that when they go east, they act hostile towards people living there
