Since the weekend, the protest (against vaccine mandates) has shut down their capital and a border crossing. Coincidentally their Prime Minister caught COVID and either went in to hiding or quarantine.

Some media and politicians have called the truck protesters racists, fascists, and authoritarians

Government stays out of it; people get sick; some die; the pandemic morphs into endemic and life goes on. I don't need the help of Government to handle my health and the idea progressives are going to tell me what to do is a fucking non-starter. Its why despite a mask mandate in my City, my office is mask free.

No stupid Iceefag U/I costs are 100% paid by the employer, the cost is based on the employee wage amount, but the amount is plus whatever that employee earns not one red cent is deducted from wages.

P. S. Your tax refund is subsidized by your employer, your refund consists of not just what you’ve paid in tax but partially by the employer match amount as well( ie: child tax credits) that too is a giveaway to leeches like you.

Usually Republicans are fighting for the Plantation Economy, for the 1%.

But when it comes to fighting the COVID mandates and against that vaccine, they are fighting for Main Street, and that is a huge improvement.

I paid my employees generally above average and way above scale, that was never an issue in my business, most of my employees owned their own homes, cars and some owned boats every one had paid vacation health insurance and 11 paid holidays a year, so that’s really an unfair characterization of the relationship I had and still have with many of my employees.

A new poll conducted by the Angus Reid Institute shows that the majority (54%) of Canadians now say they want all COVID restrictions to end. This is an increase of 15-points since early January. The institute points out that many Canadians now feel that they want to manage their own level of risk instead of having government do it for them.

The tyranny and abuse-of-power continues; and all the more reason to not only keep protesting but increase the protests:


Canadian Court Freezes Freedom Convoy GiveSendGo Donations

Thursday evening, an Ontario, Canada, court effectively froze access to monetary donations to truckers and other Canadians participating in the Freedom Convoy protest in Ottawa, Canada, and elsewhere, through a government order. The Freedom Convoy, a group of more than 50,000 truckers protesting the COVID-19 vaccine mandates and restrictions throughout the Canadian government, raised more than $8 million through the online crowd resourcing platform GiveSendGo after GoFundMe kicked the group off of its own platform last Friday. Now, that money is in limbo as neither truckers nor donors can gain access to it, per the court order.

“BREAKING: The Ontario government says it has effectively frozen all donations made to the trucker convoy through GiveSendGo,” Canadian talkshow host Andrew Lawton tweeted Thursday. “It is now a criminal offence to have any ‘dealing’ with money from donations through this platform.”

The donations have not been seized by the government, merely frozen, but seizure could be the next step.

This decision by the Ontario government highlights why attorney for the Freedom Convoy Keith Wilson recently discussed the importance of Bitcoin as another viable solution for the protesters in Canada and elsewhere, as pointed out by The Post Millennial:

“With respect to bitcoin, what we’ve witnessed… what the world has witnessed is the power of government to manipulate the flows of peoples hard-earned dollars, to advance a government’s objectives and to seek to defeat the will of individuals in their democratic process.”

This is another beautiful example of leftist lies, hypocrisy, and profiteering from strife. Trudeau calling the truckers racist, terrorists, etc.; after having supported BLM and Antifa rioting and looting. Using courts and executive orders to unlawfully freeze funds and have truckers arrested. Even Canadian law enforcement is refusing to arrest them. Biden wants us to be afraid that American truckers will disrupt the superbowl, and has DHS alerted for it, LOL. Surprisingly, the oppressive government loves having the pandemic to hang over us and try to make us live in fear, remove our right to gather, impede our ability to pursue happiness, disrupt entrepreneurs and small businesses. Any leftist who says the opposed vaccine mandates or BLM is fucking liar. It's like gun control, they want to control YOUR guns, not their own. Defund the police while they pay thousands for private security. That's what makes the average democrat voter such a useful idiot.

Canada has an 80% vaccination rate. The pandemic is endemic. Like influenza, some seasonal strains will have higher mortality than others. The vaccines have failed. The boosters have failed. Masks are ineffective. It has been demonstrated that lockdowns hurt more people than they save. The only reason for dragging out Draconian COVID measures is to maintain power and control over the electorate. It is inexcusable for anyone to fail to see that.

I’m generally not-in-favor of the law been broken (w.r.t. the truckers stopping traffic; etc) – but I have a bigger issue w/ the double-standard where leftist rioters are often coddled by the left although they do way-worse such as:

+ attacking civilians

+ attacking police officers

+ destroying both public and private property (police stations; courthouses; private-businesses; etc)


Over the past 2-years we’ve continuously had two systems of justice; one where they go as easy-as-possible on often violent leftwing rioters, and a different one for those not on the left – recently a black-dude was sentenced for burning down a business; there was someone inside the business that was killed b/c of his actions – he was charged w/ murder but the leftist politicians came out to defend him and demanded a lower-sentence “because he was protesting for social justice”; and he got a reduced sentence – leftist violent rioters are coddled and the current powers-to-be go after law-abiding citizens w/ everything they have for way less non-violent acts.

Left protests, like BLM, are generally very lawful.

Those people who came out in support of Cliven Bundy, they were just chamber at the federal agents because they knew that being White, they would not get into any trouble.

If Blacks did anything like that it would have been really bad, and we would have new gun control laws, like we did in response to the Black Panthers.
