For sure. I wouldn’t call the average person involved in this a terrorist, but I would call the organizers, especially Pat King that.
I’d call them lots of other things though.

At the end of the day, these people are just fucking idiots lol

Calling these people "terrorists" is fucking stupid. Personally, I think it takes weight off the word, and makes us look a little extreme.

It's like calling January 6th an "insurrection" or "attempted coup", ridiculous hyperbole.

These people aren't actual terrorists -- they're just radicalized/disenfranchised malcontents.

To refer to them as any differently makes us look silly, IMHO.

I mostly agree except Jan 6 was literally a "violent uprising against an authority or government" or "insurrection".

I agree they're not terrorists though, since they are mostly acting against the government and not the people.

It's important to use these words correctly, and when it's appropriate to use them, people need to open their eyes and realize hey, it got to the point where there was literally an insurrection in Washington DC.

And now a movement similar to that is happening in Canada, done and funded by the same people.

And yes, they're mostly just idiots. But idiots can still be dangerous

I donno. Somehow I wish lived in middle of all this and had a water cannon. They'd all be free on to death rite now.

Must say, so far, what is reported from CBC, the Ottawa police, OPP, RCMP are going a great job in clearing the blockade with minimal violence. Kudos. Very strategic, balanced (offering them 2 days and multiple opportunities to leave peacefully), and effective.

never understood standing in front of large moving objects, or jumping in front of them, and somehow it absolves someone of responsibility of self preservation.

even pea brained little dinosaurs in Jurassic Park knew the law of the jungle and cleared way when T-Rex was stomping through

Tampling horses! They’re trampling!

Tramampling!

Hahahaha

Lol best comment on Twitter

"she had 3 weeks to get out of the way"

320icar 02-19-2022 11:12 AM

Those clowns just passed my house I’m pretty sure in Ladner. People on the pedestrian overpass waving flags followed by 5 minutes of solid honking

Footage of the incident.


68style 02-19-2022 11:29 AM

I’m in Campbell River and they just came through honking like crazy, super old lady next to me picked up her cane and waved it at a truck and yelled “shut the fuck up” hahaha

It's very discouraging to see that so many people live in an alternate universe. It's one thing to oppose the government with rational arguments, but it's completely different when there is no longer a common understanding of the facts. These people who remain are in complete disbelief and what we are seeing says a lot about the impact of social media, influencer culture, and disruption.

JDMDreams 02-19-2022 12:25 PM

Hate to say this but ppl in health care should just reject these people and say no. I would go on leave or strike.

underscore 02-19-2022 12:34 PM

Normally this kind of crap has a better turnout in this right wing shithole, but I passed a "convoy" today that was one tractor followed by one truck :lol

68style 02-19-2022 12:34 PM

There’s a bunch of them staying at my hotel, 2 guys were sizing me up in the lobby last night with no masks on asking me why I’m wearing mine just get that feeling they want to fight, just ignored them.

Then today I see one of those guys again, he walks by an Asian dad with his kid and he made a huge point as he passed them, again with no mask on, of really loudly and slowly saying “HI HOW ARE YOU” totally insinuating the Asian guy doesn’t speak English… I was like “the fuck is your problem?” and he’s like “What? I’m just being friendly… not like you with your mask on” and I was like “The fuck you are, racist piece of shit… and even if there was no virus I’d wear one around you to avoid sharing any air you're wasting” and he starts with the “Oh yah you wanna talk about it outside bitch?” thing and the front desk said she’s going to call the RCMP and he backed down, told me “You better watch yourself”

Yah… really representing Canadian values bud!

whitev70r 02-19-2022 12:59 PM

Regretfully, all the reasonable ones left the blockage in Ottawa on their own yesterday ... now you get the cray cray rift raft left.

westopher 02-19-2022 01:15 PM

The most despicable thing going on is there are people that have stayed there with their kids, willfully putting them in positions of danger for their own uninformed bullshit beliefs. I bet there are people there just hoping a child gets hurt so they can use it to further their “TURD IS DICTATOR” narrative.
Fucking scum fucks.

They did get out of the way and there was a path for them to canter thru, if u notice the horse that did the trampling wasn't following the line of horses

The police did even yell out to notify anyone they were coming thru

Come on guys just cuz u disagree with them shouldn't mean you stand up for things like that

Hwy overpass, T-Mills mall, a few other locations around town. T-Commons was packed. Tryna get some A&W was madness.




I'm a bit removed these days, but aren't some provinces ditching the whole vax pass thing and mask wearing soon anyway? If so, why all the hubbub then? Didn't they win?

Ricky yelling from the balcony is the greatest thing in 2022. I can't stop laughing. Dude had enough and fucking let go. Good for him. He tore a new one into like 10 people directly and simultaneously created a whole vibe. I think I even heard a "fuck you and your fucking cunt wife. fuck off" Haha!! I'm dying.
