SDA commenter ‘Eagle’ posted the following yesterday:
One thing long overdue is a big Thank You to the freedom convoy. They truly lit the match that led to this long awaited ousting of Trydeau. The response of the Liberal Party to the truckers was to drop the mask, and all (most) saw the Liberals for who they truly are.
Yes, indeed, we are all greatly indebted to the brave Freedom Convoy Truckers who literally changed the direction of Canadian history!
Personal Note: I lost complete respect for longtime friends who besmirched the Freedom Convoy. To this day, I don’t know if they are just cowards or merely liberal elites, much like Justin Trudeau. Either way, in a time of crisis, I realized that their values are completely different from my own. I can no longer have such people in my life.
Update: Here’s a lovely Freedom Convoy Tribute.
” I can no longer have such people in my life.”
Unfortunately they are in our lives no matter what. You need to spend time with them, just enough to be able to “keep your friends close and your enemies closer.”
The Freedom Convoy has divided families as well, with largely the same division line as the vaxed / unvaxed & purebloods…
It hasn’t healed at all within my family, there are still some saying the unvaxed wouldn’t have gotten reinfected if the unvaxed had gotten vaxed. When I counter, “that’s not how vaxes work but it is closely related to tyranny…”
The silence is welcome, they’re 100% unable to admit that they’re wrong. All Canadian gov’t is good… etc…
As a vax denier, I never got the whu who flu, so how could I possibly infect a vaxxed or unvaxxed person with anything?
It feels like TrueDope is the Canadian “Shiva”, the destroyer of a Nation…
Behold his works, ye peons, and despair!
Is there a word for “Amen” in Hindi?
all the staged contrived whining about horns getting honked.
something that happens, oh, l dunno, a billion or 2 times a year in TURDeauland?
In the UK there was a court case that prevented porogarion for purely political purposes like turd potato is doing. Democracy watch is filing a case hoping to overturn it here! Imagine the pickle the liebranos would be in if it happens.
Don’t hold your breath. The SCOC held off hearing a charter challenge of the covid travel bans by the last living signatory of the constitution and charter until they were rescinded then dismissed the case as moot. No court in this country will rule against the Libs.
The SOC is as corrupt as the liberal party
I removed all people from my life who “besmirched the Freedom Convoy.” And have not looked back.
There are billions upon billions of people on Planet Earth. I refuse to waste my time with those who do not have the core values that I do…
As I age, I more and more understand the truth of the notion that your friends are not those who share your interests, but your values.
Very true!
If being a feminist blackface bank robber is a good skill set, Justin will easily find new work.
It didn’t feel like it when they brought in the emergencies act, boot stomped the truckers and froze their bank accounts, but that truly was the turning point. Thank god. Until an election though, I won’t feel relief.
An incredibly lengthy, indirect and circuitous process for removing (and I still don’t think that’s guaranteed) a head of government who despises a substantial number of the nation’s citizens.
Yes, allow me to echo your personal note, Robert. I can no longer associate with members of my own family who obviously do not share the same values as I have. One of my brothers expressed dismay when he saw my image on the internet working to support the freedom fighters.
He is a died-in-the-wool, Tommy Douglas socialist, who admired Jack Layton so much, he named his cat after him.
He admonished those who value their personal freedom. He believes that personal freedom should take a back seat to our “duty” to take an untested, unproven “vaccine” in order “to protect grandma.”
He obviously doesn’t subscribe to the dictum that says those who are willing to give up their freedom for security deserve neither.
How can I associate with someone like that, even if he is my own brother?
God bless the Freedom Convoy!
We share much in common, FC. I’ve been estranged with my brother since 1994. No regrets whatsoever!
Most of my former friends and associates happily masked, distanced, washed, tested, vaxxed and boosted. Several put senior “loved ones” in solitary confinement, without a trial. Most will never hear my voice again, if they do, it won’t be polite this time.
I haven’t yet FIRED any of my leftist acquaintances. However, my radical leftist sister-in-law has fired me … and most of my immediate and extended family … for our conservative views and Trump support. She chose to NOT attend our family Thanksgiving gathering this year. She fired herself, which is just fine with me. But sadly, she took her kids (my Nieces, and Grand Nieces/Nephew) with her too. I missed them … but not her
Kenji, sounds like your sister-in-law is as much a nutbar as Mary Trump: https://www.amazon.com/Too-Much-Never-Enough-Dangerous/dp/1982141468
Has she written a book about you yet?
Or “get someone who used to drive a Truck!”

When people you know are only defined during something like the covid crap, it means you never knew them before, and that YOU are a poor judge of character. Now dismissed class.

Yup.
The truckers triggered our pathetic Progressive Comrades so badly that Dear Leader fled to his State Funded Cottage.
And the Supreme Court of Canada made their political leaning clear, the “Canadian Charter of Rights of Freedoms” has been revealed as an utter fraud.
Providing neither rights nor freedom from panicked bureaucratic overreach.
You have no rights and freedoms that government dare not abridge,should said government declare “State of Emergency”..
The very times you need protection from Arrogant Incompetent “Help”.
And none of our “Elected Representatives” showed any spine..
338 Duds,who all roundly applauded the Ukrainian Nazi…
They are all “Defending our rights and freedoms”,which do not exist..
So are they ignorant?
Or Lying?.
For it is amazingly easy to “defend” something that that does not exist…Buy my Unicorn fencing and you will never be gored by a Unicorn…
Defending Canadians Rights..har har.
Compounding this insult with ever more Human Rights Tribunal abuse.
Not a big supporter of the Convoy as while I’m a believer in vaccines I do believe that there was way too much government experimenting with how much they can control the population when there’s a crisis. There were way too many wack jobs gibbering about things that were totally like 5 generations of tech away from happening like nanorobotics and the ‘jab” altering your DNA. But they did have good points too and being in a resource industry where we often get loads of city boys setting up camps and protesting logging with the NDP holding their hands I was greatly amused by the city dwellers getting a mild taste of their own back. Also remember a short shot of a pickup with a nazi flag with part of the convoy when it first started out. Personally I think this was probably just a police plant to give everybody a bad impression of the Convoy as this sort of thing is as old in policing as shaking down the local pavement princesses. I guess to sum it all up is while I didn’t agree with all the reasons for the Convoy the way they were treated while doing something EVERY citizen has the right to do was morally reprehensible. A lot of young men didn’t get a chance to be old men to insure that protesting the actions of your government is a hard and fast right of ANY and ALL citizens. (even those damned treehuggers 🙂 )
The Nazi flag was 100% a plant. He came in a van with his own personal photographer, and escaped in same van when truckers surrounded him and chased him off.
Been saying for a while now, Trump”s superpower was forcing the corruption out into the open. The lengths the media, legal fraternity, deep state, intelligence community and warmongers went to to stop him, forced everyone to open their eyes and see the corrupt establishment world wide for what it is. The common mans enemy.
The “jab” does alter your DNA. And does a whole lot other unspeakable things. Study after study has been, and is being, released demonstrating all this. You just haven’t kept up. Go to X and search “studies on Covid vaccines.” That alone should keep you busy for quite a while.
I would go a step further to give credit to the Truckers Convoy.
My daughter and I participated in a number of initial rallies for the truckers. And we watched over 100 hours of streaming of the convoy.
In addition to their influence in Canada the CONVOY sparked similar “demonstrations” in Australia, Netherlands, Germany and a host of other countries. On top of that a large number of countries are throwing out the left/woke governments in favor of conservatism.
THIS WAS ALL STARTED BY THE HEROIC PARTICIPANTS IN THE CANADIAN TRUCKERS CONVOY.
I vividly recall ,at the start of the convoy, Mike Smyth on CKNW asking Keith Baldry if he thought the convoy would effect change. He proffered that it wouldn’t have any effect at all.
HOW WRONG COULD HE HAVE BEEN.(and continues to be)
There is zero reason to believe any good whatsoever came of the convoy thugs and every reason to believe that Trudeau used that to strength his grip on power. Everyone hates those retards.
