I can just see those toddlers trying to escalate with police. Babies. Took a week of work to be a hero in their own minds. Honk Honk.

of vaccines into their movement. You know give the country and those frustrated a week long emotional, inflection point. Right now there are a bit more than a million people who voted against vaccines in the election this fall. Maybe more. But Canada is 80% vaccinated. That in a country of 38 million. The undemocratic right need to grow the movement. Canadians do not like Trump or the lack of Democracy in the USA. The truckers raised $8million. The city wants some of that for clean up and policing. They are like Jan 6 in that some of them are sh***ing everywhere (outside). But that is a small percentage of the thousands who came. Lots of hangers-on in pick up trucks and suvs who came to have something exciting to do. They are the ones with some nazi or Confederate paraphernalia. All in all the bad people are small in numbers. Police are continually de-escalating. No one has been arrested. Some claim they will not leave until their demands are met. Nobody told them it is the provinces responsible for the health regulations at the border. Some organizer factions demands are that the Governor General and leader of the senate depose Trudeau. Basically babies. Freedom!!! Crowd is getting more aggressive today apparently. Fascist in that the German people were given Hitler rallies to change their thinking by Hitler. Again and again. There were a whole bunch of anonymous donations to the Go Fund Me account. Some people like the idea of kabuki theater so they can control the masses but do not want it to be known they are anti democratic. Cross border truckers have to be vaccinated if they cross into the US. So it is all bullshit promising something the Government cannot deliver on to grow fascism in Canada. Intentionally frustrating anti vax truckers, holding a playdate for racists, trying out the new "no you're the nazis" meme of fascists and creating wedges amongst canadians. Nobody is saying you can't demonstrate. Idiots have defiled some emotional totems. Some in the mob forced a homeless shelter to feed them. Percentage wise we are nowhere near as divided as the US is. But they are giving it a good try. Basically the vast majority of Canadians have a bad opinion of Trump so by using the fig leaf "Truckers" they are trying to grow the fascism here. At least some are. Meanwhile Trump gently supports the convoy. Trump Jr wishes there were convoys in the US. Very polite. Complimentary. There is some grooming going on.

About organizing a counter protest in support of the government? There surely must be more than a few that disagree with that fringe minority that would be willing to help.
