I think most people figured that out, Zito.

FIrst time on the internet? Ther'es probably multiple dozen youtube videos that think it's real.



Literally one I found in 10 seconds of googling. I'm not accusing you of thinking it's real, sorry if it came off that way. Just commenting on the stupidity of the internet.

This trucker protest is something else.

They are probably the most important people in our daily lives, and they can actually bring a country to a halt.

Does the Canadian government cave? Or do they go full tyrant and nationalize the supply chain so this never happens again?

Sentiment within the Canadian people have changed drastically the past few weeks on the CCP virus response.

Looks to me that the Truckers are heros.

But what happens when the govt doesn't cave?

But what happens when the govt doesn't cave?

Government always caves when they get the results of the internal polling.

They haven't become a full totalitarian state yet. Truckers stepped in at the perfect time.

The 'Conservative' leader has already been booted. the people of Canada have had enough.

Everyone wants to lay the blame all at Troudeau but similar to American the left wouldn't have this power if the Establishment Republicans didn't willfully hand it to them.

I'm not so optimistic.

If they gave to this it sends a signal to all world leaders that they can be taken down from a few rednecks.

I think violence and arrests is far more likely

The violence and arrests will help our cause friend.

I hope the Canadian Government is that stupid.

What the corporate media covering the Canadian truckers has shown you is this: only liberals can have legitimate protests. When working class people do the same thing, it’s an insurrection!

2022 the Year of infinite irony

JUST IN - Canada: Alberta to scrap vaccine passport program at midnight tonight, Premier Jason Kenney announces.

The government should be afraid of their people.

[Jaw]

It could be soon. Lots of speculation that Xi insisted on no action that would take the focus off the Olympics.

If they don’t stop Putin, Xi will make a move for Taiwan. This will be a pivotal moment

[Jaw]

Both would be diplomatic failures. There's no reason for this Ukraine situation to have happened. A simple assurance that Ukraine won't be added to NATO and won't be home to any missile installations probably would have prevented it. Germany and the US are both listless right now. If it wasn't for England and Poland Vlad might roll across the Ukraine border and not stop until France, that's how worthless the EU is militarily. We're seeing how good the Trump administration foreign policy was.

Putin should had been stopped when he invaded Georgia and took thier land and the world did nothing. That gave him the okay to pull this ****.

[thethe]

I still have zero interests defending eastern Ukraine.

Let Putin do what he wants. The most important thing is to strengthen America and her real allies for the coming war.

[Jaw]

I don't like the idea of Ukraine being conquered. At the same time I don't like the idea of the US having to jump in to save every country that's at risk. We don't have an alliance or defense treaty with Ukraine like we have with Taiwan so I think it's important for the national interest to let Europe handle Ukraine. They'll never start defending themselves if we always do it for them.

US's economic standing comes partially from our military presence. Letting Europe fall into chaos isn't good for the Dollar.

[thethe]

This is the only thing they can do. There is no winning on facts or debate.

Notice how even suggesting the summer of love protests go home was an act of totalitarianism.

[thethe]

The mask is fully off

[sturg33]

The mask is fully off

So the protesters won't be able to work or travel?

Isn't that their situation already?
