I don't get it even after excusing the dictator part.

Oh yah cool our dictator is fearsome and more likely to kill us indiscriminately instead of be a candyass... weeeeee winninggggg

The weirdest thing about all these memes is how many of them sexualize Trudeau and fetishize him.. Like all these fat hairy white guys definitely want to suck his dick. Like really, really badly

I mean I’m not a fan of Trudeau, neither hate him or like him, but he literally beat people at boxing did he not?

I’ve never seen anything about Putin athletically except clips of national team level hockey players letting him score in a game to pump up his ego.

But he’s supposed to be so tough and manly?

Putin was in the KGB... I mean that's definitely something to scoff at.

...I think you mean nothing to scoff at...unless I guess you're like in the KGB and Mossad at the same time.

Yah… As an intelligence officer and translator… several former agents have said he was doing little more than collecting press clippings and keeping tabs on foreigners.

He wasn’t out assassinating people.

I’m not out to scoff at the guy although I do hate his guts…. But this glorification of him as some fuckin badass is ridiculously unearned.

There’s a lot of great documentaries out there on the subject. He was a pencil pusher, not an ‘operative’

"You will answer to god, and he will send you straight to fucking hell".

Man, this shit is making me sad. It's 2022, and here we are starting to look like the US.

I never quite realized we had such a major evangelical demographic in this country. I suppose it has always there, but never a fundamental trigger to bring it out.

Apparently, there is local truck convoy DT YVR causing a traffic mess!

Hondaracer ... what's it like down there in the epicenter?

Dunno im in the sleeper cab of a Peterbuilt on Capitol Hill

I have been listing to Zello and I give up, going to do some woodworking. It's sad hearing little kids on there saying things like " thankyou truckers for our freeeedooms" and you hear their parents in the background coaching them. Then hearing some dude say " it's great to hear so many young free thinkers. Dude the kids 5.

Just remember, when you don’t get what you want, don’t take the time to think how your actions affect others. Just have a temper tantrum and compare your plight to Jews in WW2, ok little billy?

Liberals have been writing laws allowing all this religious freedom BS and now we have people Protesting we aren’t allowing these people associated with fringe terrorist groups in under the immigration act.

It’s not just these archaic catholic/Christian ideologies, it’s all garbage.

A statue of Terry Fox near the Parliament buildings in Ottawa was defaced Saturday during the protest against COVID-19 restrictions, sparking widespread condemnation.
A photo circulated online of the statue with a sign saying “Mandate Freedom” stuck to it, and holding an upside-down Canadian flag. Another Canadian flag was tied around the statue’s neck.
Ottawa Mayor Jim Watson tweeted Saturday afternoon that he had asked staff to remove the sign and flag.

But after those were removed, people continued to place other objects around the statue, including another Canadian flag and a sign saying “He will not divide Canada.”
Fox, long considered one of Canada’s most iconic and heroic figures, died of cancer at the age of 22 in 1981, after having run cross-country with a prosthetic leg to raise funds for cancer research, dubbed the Marathon of Hope.
“Terry Fox died of cancer that he exacerbated on his Marathon of Hope running across Canada trying to raise money to fight a deadly disease — quite the opposite of what’s happening here,” tweeted former Conservative Canadian heritage minister James Moore on Saturday.
“Have a protest, do your thing, don’t disrespect this monument of a Canadian hero.”
Thousands of protesters opposing COVID-19 restrictions and vaccine mandates gathered on Parliament Hill Saturday, including truckers from a convoy that travelled across Canada this week.
Multiple people took to social media to call out what happened to the statue.
“I’m the Mayor of Terry Fox’s hometown. He’s our city’s hero, national inspiration and an unifier,” tweeted Brad West, mayor of Port Coquitlam, B.C. “Whatever your cause, you don’t get to appropriate his legacy and you don’t touch his statue. Ever. This should be removed immediately.”
Toronto doctor Andrew Baback Boozary pointed out that Fox “sacrificed everything for people with cancer.
“Shameful as there are now thousands without access to cancer treatments as our hospitals care for the unvaccinated,” he tweeted.
The Terry Fox Foundation also tweeted out a photo of the statue, untouched, but without referring directly to Saturday’s events.
“The Terry Fox Foundation is proud to continue Terry’s mission of funding cancer research,” the foundation tweeted. “Terry believed in science and gave his life to help others. Thank you to all of our supporters who help us work toward realizing Terry’s dream of a world without cancer.”

Saw this shit. Nobody in the city gives a shit about these protesters. Most of the trucks I saw are beat up pickup trucks. Go drive around Chilliwack where people might give you the attention.

The Terry Fox statue thing 'defaced' is a bit overblown. I expected paint to be poured over it or something .. they just draped some flags on it and made him carry a placard. That's the Canadian way. Once they start painting it or doing permanent shit to it, then I'll start getting upset.

The point remains that terry fox would have been one of the people with their surgeries delayed due to an ICU that wouldn’t be nearly as full if people were vaccinated. I’m quite sure many of these people aren’t exactly models of health that are going to be in mint condition when they are infected.

Man-Karen and Karen's continue to waste their lives throwing temper tantrums while the rest of society moves on and carry on with life.
