Had a busy day yesterday, let's see...
oh same here np, Id rather you take your time with your replies, one of the things I like about the discussions here is that they're not a twitter spat.
You don't get to define what 'rape' is. 'Rape' is not open to interpretation.
Don't be naive..Rape as a term is redefined all the time, the last one in your country was in 2012,
so yes, ' Rape' as a concept is most definitely open to interpretation and not set in stone.
I mean, I agree with that quote. A protest is supposed to be uncomfortable and inspire social action. but..
but?
Except that's flat-out not true. The only people detained before yesterday were two indigenous counter-protesters (

David Alexander Zegarac is part of Manitoba’s Antifa Punk scene, The man’s the frontman and vocalist of o.a. Brat Attack, who has multible allegations running against him of sexual misconduct, including a 13 year old girl.
Legally, the police can't do much to the truckers because the truckers aren't violating any explicit laws. If the truckers were indigenous, you can bet that the police would make something up and begin mass arrests.
Bit of a weird statement as there’s indigenous truckers in the freedom convoy. So I don’t know what you’re trying to get at with that? Trudeau as a prime minister was a hell of a lot more soft and open to dialogue in the 2020 railway blockades in Canada by indigenous protestors,
and if they haven’t violated or broken any laws, wouldn’t that lend credence to the idea that this is, infact, a peaceful protest. Instead of an “insurrection” ? and that Justin now having to granthimself emergency powers to actually force an end to what is painfull legal nuiscance, is a rather dictatorial move?
I don't know about that. Maybe they are, who knows.
One thing i've been doing to see whats actually doing on in these protest without media colouring (from both sides of the isle) is to just have the daily livestreams on while i'm working. Ottowa and Convoy alike. unfiltered, unacted, direct footage, by average Joe's. I'm not going to post the full livestreams here but there's plenty of clips to be found.
Flat-out not true. You're the first person that claims the truckers are being helpful and providing food to local Ottawans.
flat out not true eh?
see: ^above.
you guessed correct, there's footage of it all over the net you can easily find.
This is true, at least based on a statement by the mayor. That's from before Valentine's Day - not sure how things are right now.
Same.. They're holding up their end of the bargain. Again, their beef is not with residents, Their beef is with politicians wanting to strip them of their charter rights/freedoms. Which includes the freedom to chose not to get jabbed.
Those tow truck companies have contracts with the government, which by the way should be rescinded as they are not doing their job.
It might have something to do with the fact that, for some honest people who aren’t moral cowards” just following orders or contracts” in the sight of what is (or was) breaking up a legal and peaceful protest isn't a good enough reason.
The tow truck operators either agree with the freedom convoy, or are fearful that their employees would be in danger.

To put it simply, if tow truck companies are too scared to send their employees in and tow away the freedom convoy trucks, the freedom convoy protest is not that peaceful.
nowhere in that article can I find anything about employees being threatened by truckers. Up until this morning, there has been one incident of the police
lying to Ottawa Metro Towing in order to get them to remove vehicles from protest, hence them getting backlash which has since been resolved amicably by both parties.
Yeah, that's a disaster. He did not do his job, realized he fucked up. Someone who can do the job needs to step in.
you want people legally and peacefully protesting to freeze to death… my.. you're very pro police crackdown all of a sudden
Dude, if Trudeau were a dictator he would let people tear gas the freedom convoy truckers.
It doesn’t have to go that far chat that immediately, he knows the world is watching.
Before he was bound to respect the rights of his citizens, now he can. he recently invoked the “emergency act” (1e in canada’s history) to forcibly remove law abiding and peaceful protestors who, because of the nature of the protest. He couldn’t forcibly remove by conventional means.
Yes. Again, this is the first time I've seen so many claims in support of the truckers, and my first time reading about the "child molester who rammed his car into the protest." Official sources from Ottawan residents and media don't indicate anything like that.
Well I think in this longwinded post i've backed up my claims sufficiently including the childmolestor who rammed his car into the protest, See links above. And it doesn't at all surprise me that "official" sources and MSN don't or very scarsely report on that or other matter mentioned.
Which is precisely why i've been following the livestreams. as its very difficult to colour them to any prefered narrative. And which is why I think having these discussions, like the one's we're having now is important. you're not going to get the truth from the BBC or FOX anymore these days.
