We are such a joke. As much as people shit on the states, citizens alone would never stand for shit like that there. People actually respect their own country.

Americans love the first amendment.

They also paid that guy $225,000 in settlement compensation. And this was in Texas.
They didn't stand for it so hard!

Would love to see someone do it in a public forum like Vancouver and see what happens

People could use a punch in the head occasionally.

Well like this is the perfect example of how backwards we are

Turd cries and wants to forcibly shut down truckers who are protesting having their livelihood taken away for not getting a Covid shot which ultimately proved to be useless

But then we openly accept burning flags, praising Hamas, and chanting death to Canada?

:lol

So fucking backward.

Criticizing your own govt. is far different than burning flags and praising terrorist groups

Do you remember though that when the truckers were protesting, it was the USA not letting them in... had nothing to do with Canada. Trucks were allowed to cross into Canada, it was the USA that wasn't letting them come down.

Problem is all those mouth breathers just wanted to go off about something... if you think that entire thing was about Covid you're sadly mistaken. Just a hardcore right wing platform.

All these years later and people still think a bucnh of truck drivers and their 300lb wives are the ones you should have been listening too/somehow knew better than everyone else? Fuck me man lol

68style 10-09-2024 01:33 PM

Aside: I got a text today from the Conservative party asking me to text back with who I voted for... 1 for Cons, 2 for NDP etc etc.

Fuck you Cons that's none of your damn business!!!! The fuck kinda text is that.

What truckers. I don't know a single working trucker that went to those protests and I know someone who owns a trucking company with over 400 employee's. You have a right to protest but you don't have the right to reduce the quality of life for others.

It's actually in the Canadian charters of rights and freedoms that you can desecrate the flag.
I think it's funny that the same Americans that would go fucking crazy about their flag being burned are the ones that would like to overturn a democratic institution like during the Jan 6 riots, and cram their 300# ass into an American flag bikini.

What’s there to protest when you’ve got slave labour propping up your 30 person household? Lol life is pretty sweet when you can abuse the system to its fullest

Trudeau gets so “angry” when countries “harbour” terrorism yet allows its promotion right here in Canada :lol

Thank god this liberal experiment is almost over.

68style 10-09-2024 01:54 PM

I'm with you on Turd going bye bye

Wish I wasn't for PP... inevitable though...

But the harbouring terrorists thing is just weird bro... that's a big logic leap...

Didn’t say we are harbour terrorist here, he promotes and encourages missle strikes by Israel on Hamas abroad, but allows the burning of flags and open promotion of them domestically.

What do you want him to do? It's legal:

Hondaracer 10-09-2024 02:55 PM

Bra.. we got police investigating “hate crimes” for calling people faggots, saying death to Canada and praising Hamas is about as far out there as you can get

Ironically, if the chant was death to Israel, can pretty much guarantee sonthing would be done.

westopher 10-09-2024 03:33 PM

Honestly, the people chanting death to Canada, at that point they are uttering threats promoting terrorism, just fucking deport them, I'm with you on that, but to make the point about how you can't say faggot anymore just puts you in a bad faith argument with some stupid contrarian stance. You sure as shit shouldn't be able to utter that word to some group of "the gays" either.
This just happened and we don't know what will be the process here. They very well could be identified and face consequences for it but people would rather use it as something to say "but but but this is worse than that" scenario.
These people, the coutts fucks, the fucker convoy, are all shitbags and are a waste of space here.

I got 2 messages already. Reported to my carrier as spam.

Hondaracer 10-09-2024 03:39 PM

I use that analogy more to outline the double standard than anything

I would never say anything like that to anyone,I would never encourage that or accept it if I had a friend or family talking like that

The govt. at all levels tries to play both sides of these foreign affairs, and now we end up here.

westopher 10-09-2024 05:49 PM

I know that, but I'm just saying it diminishes the point. You're totally right, but it dilutes the argument, and in my opinion the "but this side does this" is such a big contributor to the idiots doubling down, and why the far right and far left are all just fucking retards at this point. Anyone with some sense in the middle 60% gets drowned out by those because they can use this as rhetoric to be like "but this but this but this" nazi that and woke communist this.

Truckers had the same take rate for vaccines as everyone else, and they could all still run domestic routes, it was just a handful of idiots who were unable to do international routes because of the rules the US had.

As for the flag burning, wasn't that like yesterday? Calm down and wait a little longer to see what actually does or doesn't happen before getting all upset, that stuff takes time.

Manic! 10-09-2024 09:38 PM

None of the people on trial for the protests are truckers. One of them is a free lance programmer, one of them is a one legged white nationalist, and another one is a wannabe politician who's Iranian husband left her for another women during her court case.

Hondaracer 10-10-2024 08:46 AM

It’s all the same subject bra, the sad state of this country.

68style 10-11-2024 07:09 AM

As compared to ?

I see so many people saying "THIS COUNTRY IS IN THE TOILET" online yet it's still ranked one of the best places in the world to live.

I've been driving back and forth between Vancouver and Calgary... 3 times in the last month? Many stops in between obviously... running into many people from many different provinces, especially New Brunswick weirdly enough and seeing the changing of the seasons in the Rocky Mountains and all over.

It's a beautiful place, people I've run into everyone is happy, people are doing their jobs, their walking their doggies and driving to places or running their businesses.

Go outside instead of watching the news, the world and, dare I say this country, ain't so miserable.

Did I run into a problem in Richmond last week where I couldn't get something at LifeLabs without a doctor referral and don't have a doctor to refer me nor could they suggest a walk-in clinic that took walk-ins to get a referral that way? Yes, that's true we are all aware the medical system is not in tip-top shape right now and things to address. There's always going to be problems and hotspots... the world is in a global recession of sorts right now, but it's not going to die.

Hondaracer 10-11-2024 07:18 AM

Well someone like you who can own multiple homes, it’s a pretty sweet place

For a huge majority of people, it’s pretty terrible lol.

The idea of “safety” in exchange for being a wage slave that can’t afford a hotel room for a night isn’t exactly anyone’s dream.
