I know. I was surprised to read that too, given what I’d seen of the treatment dished out to the truckers on the streets of the capital by Justin Trudeau’s Police thugs, and worse, the Stasi-like shite pulled in freezing their credit cards and bank accounts in order to effectively destroy them while leaving them breathing.
But if you read the following Twitter thread it turns out that the protests actually worked, something that the MSM in Canada and the rest of the West, have not reported on since they were heavily invested in the C-19 narrative of lockdowns, vaccine mandates and massive State control.
Check the link for details on the key points but as she summarises:
Within 1 month the trucker convoy had effected a hostile overthrow of the Governments of Alberta and the official opposition, the Conservative party of Canada – from pro to anti- lockdown – and crushed the moderate wing of the conservative movement.
At Multiple points Trudeau was nearly forced out by his own party and his government was humiliated with most of its perceived power destroyed, it now exists as a rump failing to pass gun control bills (IN CANADA!) against moderate opposition.
Within 2-4 months all domestic restrictions were gone and within 8 months even the pantomime of international restrictions didn’t exist, Canada had fewer covid restrictions than the US.
Rather puts New Zealand in the shade, and given what a creepy place Canada is becoming that’s saying something. But as the Twitter author puts it, the reason both the Canadian government and their MSM wing wants you to think the protest was a failure was that its success freaked them out and for what it portends for the future:
The greatest possible threat to them is that the mass of the Suburban and rural Middle-class: Flyover country, the Petite Bourgeoise, the small business owners, the farmers, the truckers, the Kulaks… The greatest possible threat to the regime is that this mass will realize its incredible power both in coordination, logistics, and initiative… And that it will overthrow the governing class of Bureaucrats, Regulators, Lawyers, DEI Administrators, and leaches who’ve gotten rich surviving of their tax cattle who actually work and produce things.
It’s class warfare Jim, but not as we’ve known it.
Doncha just love living in the “Free World”™”.
My eldest after gaining a masters degree in Emergency Nursing and over ten years experience in ED has just given her middle finger to her employer because they want to subject her to experimental vaccines and to be frank treated her like shit during their bogus “Pandemic” – 12 hour shifts in hard core PPE gear while the bosses who inflicted this torture upon on her and her colleagues postured before the cameras of globalist propaganda outlets.
If you think that I hold the modern West in utter contempt you would be entirely correct
Good on your daughter for standing up to the evil being perpetrated on us, a brave girl.
Our “elite” may have acted like Nazis over the Covid bs but at least they’re not deliberately targeting civilian infrastructure and maiming and killing children like your toxic runt Putin and his cowards are doing.
There’s no moral equivalence to be found here Andrei. I share your contempt for those that perpetrated the Covid travesty but what your hero Putin is doing is way beyond evil.
I look forward to you trying to defend the murder and maiming of children.
Mean while back on planet Earth the masters of hypocrisy and the mass murder of the innocent, the Godless evil empire, capital city Washington DC under its current senile Emperor Joe Biden, continues to fund the slaughter of Christan children in East Ukraine.
But of course you think the issues of our age are climate change and the “rights” of sexual deviants to indoctrinate impressionable children into believing that mutilating themselves to become a poor facsimile of a gender they are not is a good idea and that doing this is progress
C’est la vie
“But of course you think the issues of our age are climate change and the “rights” of sexual deviants to indoctrinate impressionable children into believing that mutilating themselves to become a poor facsimile of a gender they are not is a good idea and that doing this is progress”
Poppycock Andrei. Lunatics abound in every society, unfortunately it’s a very loud minority who have scared the majority. There is always a reaction to these things and a push back is underway.
There would be no slaughter of “christian children” or any children in Ukraine if the lunatic runt hadn’t decided to try and be the new Peter the Great.
Admit it Andrei Russia is a very sick society. I feel profound sorrow for the ordinary Russian as they have been badly ruled by a succession of crazy despots who think nothing of slaughtering their own citizens. Take Stalin as an example he made Hitler look like an amateur.
The runt would have been better to work towards ensuring his subjects have indoor plumbing and toilets. Then he could have claimed the title of Vladimir the Great
Dear old C, it is indeed true that lunatics exist in every society but unfortunately for you and me and more to the point our children and grandchildren the lunatics have taken over the asylum in the ironically named “Free World”.
Of course you sneer at VVP and call him the runt because you can’t cope with the reality that the medocrities who are running the West into. Third world status are shown up by men such as him who are demonstrating real leadership.
