"According to the group, the plan was to shut down freight services from Canada to the U.S. to show solidarity with Palestinians starving in Gaza."

 

Excuse me? They aren't blocking anything?

And look at that, arrests were made, and only two incidents.. not weeks long locking down the nations capital and using noise pollution to terrorize the locals.  They also aren’t stopping people from working or assaulting people at their will.  They are also not blockading three major border crossings, one of them the largest trade crossing in Canada.  The difference is the Clan members were coddled and allowed to do these things. Imagine if authorities let these current protests go the same way!  The fringe minority would be crying in their typical ironic fashion. 
 

to add..right there in the article, unlike the convoy, they don’t believe it will have any major impact.. see the difference yet?  Or are we again manipulating facts.

The war is still going dude and probably will be for a while. If you think these protests aren't going to get more fierce if they aren't kept in check, then you are kidding yourself. Look what happened in Texas yesterday.

Ahhh yes, I forgot. Justin Trudeau definitely doesn't have his own ever growing list of scandal's. 

 

And then yes of course the ever popular buzzword "far right" Literally from the article  - "Dean later asks Poilievre if he will pose for a photo next to his car draped in “f*ck Trudeau’ flags, but Poilievre suggests they “stand in front of something else.”" 

 

Just like how Mr Trudeau gets chauffeured around like the every day peoples man that he is? 

 

 

Yes all PM's do no matter what party.

Sorry I thought we were talking about the story of PP stopping  to visit the encampment and whether he could have/should have expected to meet some extremists. If he’s drawn to photo-ops with the “F*CK Trudeau flags” he should have a pretty good idea by now.

 

If you are serious about bad apples and read the article you would know that I didn’t bother to mention the really  bad apples that even this group wanted to distance themselves from like Gordon Barry and the “Save the Children Convoy” sovereign citizens nutjobs. So you have a problem with the author calling these people far right? I can only say that’s a much more generous term than I would use.

 

Oh, and yes PP and JT can have chauffeurs and security details, quite understandable.

Trudeau literally said PP supports Alex Jones conspiracy theories. 

No, he did not say that.  Listen again.  He said PP refused to condemn and reject Alex Jones' endorsement.   He then went on to talk about Alex Jones.

What does that have to do with pro Palestine protesters blocking ports and railways?

 

A lot. PP encourages the extremists on the right. Trudeau didn't. It's all about leadership.

😂 as if every leader of a G7 nation doesn’t get driven around.  So scandalous!  Grasping at straws much?

No, your opinion is that he encourages extremists. His current polling would suggest people think otherwise

Not everybody polled is going to be an extremist.   It's beginning to look like a certain percentage is though and PP seems to be in no rush to distance himself from them.

It's pretty concerning when a guy claiming to be the pm in waiting goes to hang out at a weirdo camp.

That is literally what I was implying... 🤔

but PP isn’t a leader of any country.  Just a telemarketer who’s made himself a millionaire off the taxpayers.

He's the leader of the opposition party man.. obviously he's going to get similar treatment. I don't know what we are even arguing here

Meanwhile in "keep your nose out of our jurisdiction; that's not your right, this is our province and we want smaller government with less interefence.

 

Alberta's UCP announce they are tabling legislation to remove municipal politicians and mayors they don't like under the guise of "fair elections"

 

Not even kidding.  Talk about over reach
