"It has become something of a habit in both the American and Canadian media to insist that the Canadian trucker protest against v*****e mandates is an "illegal protest." They are "illegal border protests," one American news affiliate proclaims. Canada's National Post dutifully refers to the protests in its headlines as illegal acts. The term "illegal" has been used a multitude of times by Liberal Party politicians in the House of Commons. The premier of Ontario—one of Canada's most hysterical politicians—not only paints the protests as illegal but as a "siege." Other opponents of the protests refer to them as an "occupation" and as an "i**********n."

So why the obsession with labeling the protests illegal? The idea, of course, is to cast suspicion on them and portray them as harmful and morally illegitimate. We could contrast the rhetoric surrounding the trucker protest with that of the Black L***s M****r protests. In the case of the B*M protests, illegal acts were downplayed and ignored, with one obvious r**t labeled a "mostly peaceful" protest. When it comes to protests and other acts of which the regime approves, legality is never an issue.

The regimes of the world, of course, like to use legality as a standard for judging human behavior because the regimes make the laws. Whether the laws actually have anything to do with human rights, private property, or just basic common sense is another matter entirely.

We can always expect the regime and its supporters to try to outlaw things they don't like. And once such things are illegal, we'll hear all about the evils of the "lawbreakers" any time those lawbreakers threaten the prestige or power of the regime. (Lawbreaking in favor of the regime, of course, is always tolerated.) It's a highly successful trick they've been using for thousands of years.

L*****t hypocrisy at its finest....

Protest is not illegal either in Canada or the US. Blocking roads with trucks and blocking international commerce on the other hand is and conspiracy to do so is terrorism by description.

So by your very own criteria the B*M/A****a goons are terrorists.

I agree.

I should also point out that the Truckers did not, l**t, firebomb, injure people and destroy property. Without the government's illegal v******tion mandate, there would have been no Trucker protest. So, Kevy, place the blame where it properly lies!

Michael Rich Loc: Lapine Oregon

Exactly!

I'm not sure why the common sense needs to be pointed out, except perhaps because some people have none...

Obstructing traffic such as bridges is pretty much illegal everywhere, there are noise ordinances which airhorns pretty much are in violation of. Loggers have to observe not using their "jake" brakes in towns or risk getting tickets for excessive noise.

When 90% of Canada's truckers are v******ted, these "protesters" come from a small group of right wing butt hurters.

woodguru

the ones that acted out, yes, by all means they were...

Meanwhile there were tens of thousands of people peacefully protesting that cannot be lumped in with those acting out as terrorists.

Wake up and face reality. Many of those protesting had the illegal shots. They were not protesting the shots, but the illegally discriminating mandates.

***Meanwhile there were tens of thousands of people peacefully protesting that cannot be lumped in with those acting out as terrorists.

>>>Meanwhile there were tens of thousands of people peacefully protesting that cannot be lumped in with those tens of thousands of people acting out as terrorists.

Simple. Get the facts straight.

I second that. They are definitely terrorists. D******c t*******ts plain and simple. Even kevy can see that.

"When 90% of Canada's truckers are v******ted, these "protesters" come from a small group of right wing butt hurters."

You see Wood, herein lies the problem. You actually buy into the fact that 90% of the truckers are v******ted. Who says so, the main street media? The same main stream media that promoted the "Russia Collusion" myth, and the "J****** 6 I**********N", and the "FACEMASKS" help prevent C****-**, and the v*****e prevents you from getting seriously ill or dying? That main stream media?

The Simple logic of the number of truckers demonstrating speaks for itself. If they were already v******ted, then what would be the point of their protest. Some may have received the first "clot-shot", some may have even received the second, but refuse to be manipulated into the forever "booster" phase of this false narrative. So the vast number of protesters and those supporting them should serve as evidence that the REAL number of fully v******ted people is way "OVERBLOWN". But that observation requires an open mind and power of discernment that is lacking in too many people.
