Dude from BC goes to Ottawa. Spends 13k buying fuel and food for the truckers thinking he would get reimbursed. Now he is broke and can't afford to get his van out of impound.

All he wanted was to help people.............

Damn, son, donate your time and efforts at a homeless shelter or food bank or places like Covenent House. Use your brain. Lots of people getting caught up in the hype of it all.

Seriously, give blood, organize a fundraiser for a worthy cause. I feel sorry for people like him. Got no brains to speak of. Declare bankruptcy and live off others............. and get help from the government.

The fundamentals of modern conservatism. Prey on the disenfranchised to put themselves at risk to carry out the dirty work for the good of the few.

CBC has had to make a number of retractions over there reporting on the Convoy recently. This could be yet another?

No idea they just stand there waving flags. No signs. They have little kids stand there with them breathing in all the fumes from the cars that go by. I might go there with some of my own signs one day.

Practicing for Canada Day?

MG1 04-07-2022 06:38 PM

Fucking assholes!

I took down the flag in front of my house, because I didn't want people to remotely think I was one of those fucktards.............

I was going to put it back up on July 1st, but it looks like this shit isn't going to die. It's like COVID. Not ever going away. I was proud to fly the flag. Now I'm ashamed. My son told me that's letting them win. He's right, but..............

Yea that's tough, and extremely unfair that they've managed to turn such a symbol into a symbol for "huurrr durrr".

Is your flag a tasteful size and hung up appropriately? I think the size and number of them goes a long way from seperating the two. The idiots tend to take the appropriate amount of flag, then add like 15 too many. Same for size. Ridiculous sized flags, almost like they're compensating for something right.

One of my neighbours has always had a small Canadian flag hanging outside their front door. Its tasteful and appropriate, but I guess there's always the small possibility for being mistaken in these times... Maybe not worth getting egged or worse.

It's not small, but it's not Lexington Steele size, either.

A conservative government. Lol

westopher 04-08-2022 06:09 AM

It will be funny when that happens and they see the issues plaguing Canadians will just be exchanged for other issues that are equally or more difficult to deal with, depending on the demographic.
They think cons are gonna get in and money will just rain from the sky, gas will be free, the real estate they buy will be cheap but the real estate they sell will be expensive.

SkinnyPupp 04-08-2022 06:09 AM

Yeah they want to overthrow the government without an election, placing authoritarian right wing leaders instead

These people are the lowest of the low Canadians. Just absolute dirt worst.

hud 91gt 04-08-2022 06:21 AM

I wouldn’t say it’s the low of low. They are either of below average intelligence, Albertan, or Gen X and older individuals who click the “email bait” every time their workplace sends out a phishing test. Hahaha.

True; most are just followers who don't know any better, that's the case with most movements. Everyone's life sucks right now, and everyone wants a way out. For some, they are getting duped into thinking this is it.

The people setting it all up though, they're absolute shit.

I’d agree with that one. The leaders are likely high in intelligence… and evil. Ha. My comment about Albertan’s is an oversimplified way of saying, it’s easy to be persuaded when your life is flooded with those of a similar mentality. Sometimes pure hatred to a certain political party (saying that, I spent the weekend with a group of AB’s. None of them agreed with this convoy… unless they were keeping quiet, ha)…. And then there is those who are technology crippled. Haha.

I think it definitely goes both ways. The die hard leftest, is never going to sway right (despite the reasoning), just because it’s against the general fundamentals. This is where politics sucks.

Total and utter narcissism... on some group chat of old friends, 1 dude on there, he's very intelligent and runs his own business, most would consider him wealthy, but his leanings are all completely right wing. He's the ultimate "no matter what they do I hate the libs"

Eg: the housing announcement yesterday, if anything it was a total Conservative type announcement from the Liberal government, anyone with half a brain can see it's totally toothless and only dumbass walrus fin clappers at the bottom will be like "urh urh urh muh govment did sumthing to proteck meeee" it is literally protecting all the fiscally convservative and current home owners while doing nothing at all to lower house prices but it will make all the poors think they did something at the very least... which is exactly what he wants... but instead of taking the win and keeping his mouth shut or whispering "Bravo... bravo I say" while quietly clapping to himself in the back of the proverbial theatre, he has to say "What a stupid policy, typical Liberals, so easy to undermine, they just don't get it."

Oh okay, so you actually wish this policy was more hard hitting? You're FOR lowering the value of your various properties and making housing more affordable for other Canadians?

"No. I wouldn't want that."

Well what the fuck then? So indebted to hate of the political party itself, will literally take on the face of caring about what happens in society if it means taking a shot at the political party itself when in fact he'd be crying bloody murder if they actually did something that affected his assets in any way.

Hypocritical pieces of shit (diehard extremists, not just people with ultra conservative views... same goes for crazy liberal minded people).
