The Canada Convoy

It was in our house twice. Both times it came from crèche after Xmas. However, there were no vaccines the first time and everyone got it. There were vaccines the second time (with booster) a few weeks ago, and only the child that was infected in crèche got it.

You were doing well until you launched into the “main office” conspiracy. What is the conspiracy? Who benefits? Why would people who are elected TD’s (and can be unelected by not getting enough votes) suddenly work for the “main office”?

You could get elected, and be part of forming a government. How does the switch trigger, and you end up working for the “main office”? Do you forget who you are or something?

There's a heavy reliance on guilt by association.

Why do Irish people lap it up? As usual Irish people are babes innocently accepting everything that is placed before them.

The US and Canadian media are themselves political activists, pro-mandate and will do everything they can to represent the convoy as tiny and illegitimate.

Are you pro-mandate? Because that's what's at issue.

It could be argued that the mandates themselves create suspicion around the vaccines. Using force, dis-employing people looks really really bad.

You're talking past me.

What does a poll of people's attitudes have to do with my point about the media?

nice deflection. I do not support terrorists. i think the point being made was that it's laughable that the muslim brotherhood would somehow be active in Canada let alone some sort of major force. just more meat for the base i guess.

on the other hand, do you support or sympathize with white supremacists and/or neo-nazis ?

the protest was organised by one..

Austria's vaccine mandate is up in the air. It's been delayed and their health minister says the Austrian government's own constitutional lawyers may veto it. That's before any legal challenges, domestic or at the European court in Strasbourg, are brought which could also derail it.

Bouncing people from their jobs is very extreme and in this case puts pressure on food supply lines. I guess if Canadians go hungry from food shortages the Canadian authorities will look to blame "the unvaccinated" rather than their own unwise and inflexible policies and no doubt you'll be there to parrot them.

The Austria mandate was a tactic to get people vaccinated, it worked. Whether they follow through on it is up to them.

Putting people's lives at danger during a pandemic is extreme. A clear majority of Canadians support the measures, if a minority of truckdrivers want to use their trucks to block supply lines, that goes beyond peaceful protest. The law should deal with them, before people get angry enough with them that the mob does.

@Fandymo gonna answer my question in #179 ?

i suspect you won't...
