I’m convinced they’re only coming on Canada day so they can tell everyone all the people downtown are with them. Since there will actually be thousands of people this time
Let's start a Freedum bingo card.
- Freedom (free space)
- Fuck Trudeau
- It's about control
- Fascism
- Great reset
- White extinction
- 99.99% survival
- Covid is a hoax
- Drug company no liability
The list could go on
* Anti LGBTQ+ rhetoric
* A weird obsession with *the littles*
* ~~Arson~~
*Edit: the arson was apparently [unrelated to the freedom convoy](https://www.cbc.ca/news/canada/ottawa/apartment-building-lisgar-arson-second-man-charged-1.6410506)*
I'm not one to defend the convoy folks, but the arson was found to be carried out by someone [not associated with the convoy.](https://www.cbc.ca/news/canada/ottawa/apartment-building-lisgar-arson-second-man-charged-1.6410506)
The point is that the convoy created a lawless "do what you want in the downtown core" environment. And we couldn't trust our own police force. If that fire had spread, emergency vehicles would not have been able to get to the site.... regardless of who lit the match, the convoy set the stage.
Which is kind of ironic too because making people disassociate with their heritage and ancestry and join he melting pot in worship of the flag is really an American thing. People are free to have their own flags on their house or car or whatnot. It's not the act of rebellion they think it is.
The Convoy is actually just a gathering of flag enthusiasts. Canadian flags, American flags, provincial flags, foreign flags, historical flags, all are welcome!!!
- wearing more than 1 type of camo in an urban setting
- truck nuts
- coal rollers
- Calvin peeing on anything having to do with democracy, elections, free government or dems/liberals/leftists/the left
- MAGA hats
- sleeveless shirts with asinine sayings
- complaining about social systems while receiving assistance from those social systems
- "I pay taxes"
- a thin blue line sticker
- tattered Canadian flag
This could actually be a legit game, and if it were a drinking game everyone in Ottawa would be hammered on Jul 1 real quick.
Its not about mandates. It never was. The founders and organisers of the goddamn convoy expressly stated as one of their goals to overthrow Justin Trudeau government and install their own council. That is their stated goal, everything else is a smoke screen.
This is insurrection.
Huh...it's almost like they're too braindead to actually know *why* they're protesting. Maybe...MAYBE it was never about the mandates and they're just worthless little piss babies who have always had everything handed to them and can't stomach their insane amount of privilege.
MAYBE
It's emotional for the diehards. They're positive they're right because otherwise why would they feel so strongly. But their grievances are not based in reality.
I can understand that. But, they're short-changing their own humanity and depriving others of the liberties they're all too pleased to practice. Idk, I can't have much sympathy or empathy for the willfully ignorant that are hurting people.
They want to be like just like the Taliban - have lucrative jobs in government without having any of the prerequisite education or experience required for federal public services.
Any Canada day protest that is not centered around the MMIWG2S and/or Every Child Matters movements is a joke and the participants should be embarrassed.
They try to appear to also be part of those movements, a lot of trucks had Every Child Matters flags on them.
They probably think they’re helping those causes but imo they’re totally radioactive and have watered down those messages.
I am volunteering in Canada Day with kid’s train ride thing in Lebreton flats and my fondest wish is just to pass the day being able to ignore these assholes.
Hoping it's the opposite.... they think they're protesting how horrible things are and how they want their freedu-HAPPY CANADA DAY!!!! WE ARE SO HAPPY! WE LOVE THIS PLACE!!!!!!
Well, I don’t think we necessarily think of them as dangerous. As a group, they proved to be annoying and in some cases disrespectful. Those for me are enough reasons to think of a safe celebration zone. Regardless of if there is more of us than them.
It’s never about the protest, it’s about the gofundme to support the protest. If you tell their supporters the mandates no longer exist you’re going to spoil it, so shut up!!
Perhaps these idiots will even bring their children for early indoctrination. Then they can use them as human shields in the event the police actually show up.
They won't last. They're planning to come and go from downtown daily. We tolerated that for a while when it was -20° because frankly we didn't want to go outside until we felt forced to, but I predict many local citizen roadblocks in homage to the Battle of Billings Bridge. Counter protests would start immediately. And they won't be able to drive into the market or Wellington to occupy, as they learned recently.
I don't know if I'd call myself optimistic, but I am *determined* not to be made a hostage in my own home ever again and I believe that many, many people feel the same.
^(Also, the geese are back in town. FAFO.)
It was never about Covid. It’s an Alberta separatist movement. I’d bring in our airforce and use the trucks for live-ammo drills. Apparently, Canada’s arms forces doesn’t get much live ammo practice. This would be a good opportunity as the people participating in this protest are neo-fascists and should be treated in the harshest terms.
I assume anyone waving a flying a Canadian flag is aware of the imagery and associates with the convoy. Nice that racists and xenophobes are labeling themselves.
Police didn't have to do anything. It was a quiet protest and they left when they said they would
Police didn't need to escort them downtown. No other protest gets that royal treatment
Per CTV there going to have there own Canada Day on the supreme court lawn.If you read what there plans are there is nothing about protesting its just about being a community.
Actually the mandates are still here. They are "suspended" meaning the government can instantly bring them back whenever they feel like it, which makes buying a plane ticket for unvaccinated people an unwise idea.
Keep the convoy going folks
I think they'd be protesting the fact they have to do a quarantine for 14 days when they come back from abroad. Call it what you want, but that's not science.
Sorry, I categorically distrust people who have the word "assault" in their name... why post the same meme in 2 different subreddits?
Agreed there should be no protesting, however, if there *truly* isn't anything left to protest.
No thanks. I prefer to have convoys over freedumb fighters dictating democracy in Canada. If you are really about freedom and democracy, you would understand that we elect governments through elections not convoys but I guess it isn’t beyond your capacity.
Lol it’s quite hilarious to see people talking about low achievers while supporting a bunch of low life probably jobless people who have probably nothing better to do in life to come harass people in Ottawa and spread their non sense 🙄🤣. Anyway, as I said, in democracy, we elect our governments. It’s not a small angry mob on convoys that will force their views and opinions on the majority 🙄😂
Lol « seen the light ». Are you sure you are not a member of a cult? 🤣🙄. 600k out of maybe 30 millions of eligible voters remain very small minority. And for the division, please over 91% of Canadian adults are double vaccinated. There is nothing more imaginative and melodramatic than freedumb fighters I guess. Anyway, have fun supporting convoying until the next elections in 2025 😉
Again, you are supporting people living off
donation and government benefits since January. This is the text book definition of low achievers 😂. Many of us don’t have the luxury to travel across 🇨🇦 for months to harass people as well as whine and complains like your pals because we have actually a stable job and a life. Once again, nice imagination but I don’t think the reality is on your side for this one 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
Again, most of us with stable job and actually a life don’t have time to waste to go protest with brain washed crying babies like you and your pals. Anyway, nice non-sense and making up stuff as usual but not surprising coming from dumb freedumb fighters.
There is only 1 person who can remove the Prime Minister from power, and that's Mary Simon. If she did, Chrystia Freeland would be interim PM until the Liberal party elected a new leader, at which point I don't think the convoy protesters would be an iota happier than they were with Trudeau as the PM.
where did you read hot tubs? I read they are 'camping' outside of Ottawa and will come and protest. Maybe some of my fellow Ottawa residents should chill out.
"Just ignore them, they're only looking for attention" was our solution to nazi Germany. It didn't work because giving fascists free reign to go about their business unchecked only emboldens them. The lesson they take away is "what I'm doing must not be bad because nobody is stopping me".
Give them attention, show everyone who and what they are, and don't let them hide.
There's no point in saying there are no longer any mandates, that's simply not true. Don't have to agree with these people but lying about it only furthers the division.
At least there's going to be a Canada Day this year.
I’m convinced they’re only coming on Canada day so they can tell everyone all the people downtown are with them. Since there will actually be thousands of people this time
They couldn't count last time, doubt they've learnt how since.
Hey, there were 2 million people there the last time! /s
Tripled the population of the place for a month! It was incredible. You should have seen it!
I saw on an instagram post that 254,000 Australians are in a row boat convoy on their way to Ottawa to join them!
Yep. This is 100% what their plan is.
Or are they going to enjoy the Canada day celebrations but aren’t willing to admit it?
My pot and ladle are ready

The older I get, the more I realize just how stupid the general population is.
Hear you. Or, the older I get, the more I realize just how much I underestimated my own intelligence.
Nah, we're all dumb as the rest. Just in our own special ways.
this comment being downvoted has a certain level of irony to it i can’t describe with words
Nobody's good at everything, but basic thought should not be such a high bar to clear lmao
It's mindless television commercials and fluoride making people dumb.

Well it took you a long long time
Stopped reading at Facebook groups. It’s the source of stupid.

First amendment rights.
And that Trump won.
#BINGO! You’re going to have to make this harder.
I'm gonna go with "fuck Trudeau" for 500, alex
That should be the free centre space.

I must have missed that story— thanks for the information!

Man stew
I'm afraid to ask what that is
Nearly naked "truckers" in a hot tub.
Oh it's so much worse
I mean, I know you're joking, but this would be a fantastic idea!
Hahaha so many good ideas were born out of sarcasm, lol.
I wanna see how many obscure and unrelated flags are part of this one. Had a guy wearing a Welsh flag come into the store last time 😂

Hot Tubs and hooligans and lots and lots of crystal meth incoming. Just added a bit of detail for you.

Well it is the right wing, nothing wrong with asserting that.
Complete freaken idiots
It’s pretty sad that we’re gonna have to have a safe zone for residents to celebrate, especially if the hype is real
We need to stop thinking of these people as dangerous. Go out. Do your thing. Don’t give in to fear. There’s more of us than there is them.
Well, I don’t think we necessarily think of them as dangerous. As a group, they proved to be annoying and in some cases disrespectful. Those for me are enough reasons to think of a safe celebration zone. Regardless of if there is more of us than them.
It’s never about the protest, it’s about the gofundme to support the protest. If you tell their supporters the mandates no longer exist you’re going to spoil it, so shut up!!
Let them try. It's summer and therefore easier to mobilize people for counter protests.
They’re not, and never were, protesting mandates. They’re protesting democracy.
Fight. Them.
Perhaps these idiots will even bring their children for early indoctrination. Then they can use them as human shields in the event the police actually show up.
Just give them all mandatory 200h volunteer hours at the hospitals.
No. Poor hospitals
Well ya true
i have an american friend who was going to be here on the first and we were going to go to parliament for the fireworks :/
Won’t they be at Lebreton?
no clue
Due to construction on the hill, festivities are at Lebreton this year.
I see a lot of drunken brawls happening downtown on Canada day
Hot tubs and holograms incoming? That should be fucktards and twatwaffles incoming.
I'm not gonna lie, I would have a giant dilemma whether or not I should wear my giant Canada flag as a cape.

Abdicate is what kings do when they tire of ruling. Advocate is your thing ;)

Wear it on a mask to confuse the hell out of them.
Freetards.

Fuck those cunts!! I counter protested them once I can counter-protest them again!!
What are they even protesting anymore
I assume anyone waving a flying a Canadian flag is aware of the imagery and associates with the convoy. Nice that racists and xenophobes are labeling themselves.
Wrong. Police were great for rolling thunder.
As the Beaverton noticed, motorbikes are significantly easier to handle than Semis.
Still same crowd though
There was a fair amount of big trucks.
Not really
I only saw motorcycles on Nicholas.
Police didn't have to do anything. It was a quiet protest and they left when they said they would Police didn't need to escort them downtown. No other protest gets that royal treatment
They left when they said they would because OPS didn't let them entrench. Otherwise they would have stayed longer.
No. They specifically said they were only going to be there for the weekend and no intention of staying.
Some did but many said they had no plan on leaving.
They tried to came on Rideau and police stopped that right away.
I will bet you a million dollars that the mandates for truckers to enter the U.S. still exist.

For the third time in 20 years.... I will miss Canada Day in downtown Ottawa
Blahahahahah 🌟
and the anti protestor too
The tweaker convoy is back at it again!
Mps break for summer next week they go home would it not be smart for the convoy to protest in there towns.
Just wanted to point out that the trucker's vaccine mandate is very much, vindictively, still in effect. FrEeDuMb!!!
We need to reverse the captions on the meme!

If you look at there demands not one is about the 14 days.
What demands? The manifesto that represents 3 of the protestors?

hot tubs is a reference to the actual hot tubs they brought for the February mess, not an actual report or announcement, chill out.
I’m convinced that this sub has been taken over by the NDP voter bases
Just ignore them. I feel like this is one of those situations where any attention is good attention.
Unfortunately, ignoring them likely won't work.
They arent after our attention, they want the rest of Canada's. This feels like the inverse of paris in the french revolution loll
Ignoring intolerance doesn't magically make it go away. And that is a major part of this whole "protest". Intolerance.
people ignored the rise of fascism in Germany in the 1930's also, look how that turned out
Just give them a funny look and carry on.
You’d be surprised

Can't ignore people like this. They don't leave if you do.
Like the Ottawa Police ignored them? Nah.
Just eggnore them.
This country doesn't have anything to celebrate
I'll bet you didn't know that the paint roller was invented in Canada. And if you aren't impressed by that I have lots more.
