Your reasoning is just as questionable to me all I am asking for is actual evidence which you can't provide. Even the point I made about how Trudeau is treating an actual peaceful protest compared to the riots (videos of which do exist) that went on in 2020 speaks volumes to what kind of person he is. All of the points you are making about downtown Ottawa could have been avoided if Trudeau met with the protesters but instead like a stubborn child he refused to and you seem to agree with him refusing to meet them in a previous post.
The only reason this has gone as far as it has is because of the lack of leadership Trudeau has shown now he is throwing the toys out of the pram and demanding he get his way which is one of the many reasons the truckers want him to resign.  After the stunt he pulled last night he cannot remain in a position of power.  I know he openly praised Chinas dictatorship before but this is taking things to a whole new level.

Of course crime happens all over the world but the basic point I am making is this has gone on for four weeks and not one violent video has surfaced. I don't know how long you have been living in Canada but when I lived there day after day videos would pop up on CTV, Global, CBC etc. pushing a narrative. Yet after 4 weeks not one video has surfaced from the protest. Hundreds of thousands are gathering in Ottawa at the weekends and you would think at least one of those would have caught something.

Yes I did read the debate and I could comment on plenty of other things you brought up like why Trudeau got into office etc. (yes Harper was awful but that is one of many reasons) but no point in wasting my time when you have clearly made up your mind.

All of my posts are relation to what is happening Ottawa and have absolutely nothing to do with Alberta where you said you currently are which is nearly 4000km away (just putting that in for anyone who bothers to read this post giving them some context as some seem to think you very to close to the capital), I don't currently know anyone near the protest in Alberta so I can't comment on what is going on there I actually thought the protest on the boarder there ended last week.

I have Canadian citizenship and if what Trudeau is currently pushing passes through parliament and he gets his way then I really worry about the future of Canada as a country. Before all this even started the country had never been more divided than they have been under Trudeau.

As you said we will just have to agree to disagree. We clearly have completely opposing views as to what is going on. I am clearly pissed off with the whole thing from my point of view as I am sure you are from your viewpoint.

Well, I could continue countering as well, but like you say, we'll just draw a line under it there and agree to disagree.

Like the Sunday times cryptic clue and the answer is limp bizkit but we all know that's never the answer



KC, did you have to use a snorkeling mask to breathe, reaching that far down to stir the shit?  :laugh:

Ah sure, why not. Not much newsworthy going on at the moment like.

Once a racist, always a racist....
I'm fuming here. Bring back Bertie.!

Still all boys then...

Was at the parade yesterday and on comes the local pride contingent. Not really doing anything just waving and shit not even dressed up and of course the crowd clapped and cheered and "well done lads" etc.

My thought was have we not moved on from cheering the subtle nuances of people's sexuality, has this not become acceptable ages ago, we're all fine with it fair play for their self acceptance etc?

I just think a bit more panache to earn the applause rather than simply existing might be in order is all. I mean the same applies to the local dance academies and what have you but at least they're providing some entertainment. The special needs crowd put on a great show even with all they have going against them, you could see the effort etched into their pained expressions and they were well worthy of the bit of adulation. Y'know it's not just limited to the pride lads either, there's a lot at the parades could do more to get the crowd going. There was a few army lads who did a bit of peacekeeping in Lebanon who did fuck all as well only waving but they did have uniforms on at least I suppose and they looked about 90 but then why am I letting them off the hook either they could have told a few war stories over a megaphone or something.

The standard has gone to shit basically and in future I'm going to be fuckin calling them all out if they don't put more effort in. Same for the prick who only had a few sheep on a trailer and a Ukraine flag
