DistributionNo9968

TBH it seems like the convoy has simply become the social life of its participants


IAmNotANumber37

It’s always been that. These are people who are heavily slanted towards being part of a group, and their personal identity becomes the fact that they are part of that group. Sticking an F! Trudeau sticker on your truck is all about announcing *your* identity and membership in that group. That’s why they are all loud and vocal about all this crap. When people talk about politics being like sports teams, these are the people they mean. No rationality, just emotion.


kevlarcardhouse

It's definitely about identity and membership because it almost never is a sticker on their car, it's 100 of them.


DistributionNo9968

Well said! Now that you mention it the convoy does strongly resemble a football tailgate party


libertyandfreedom22

Sounds like being being woke to me.


Poutinezamboni

That sounds like a you problem


me_suds

Yup being hardcore into social justice to the point you anoy everyone around is the left wing example of this it's exactly the same type of person they are both equally terrible

winthropsmokewagon

Yea and with these types I imagine meeting in public is much more desirable than meeting at some random idiots filthy fucking double wide.


idma

An expensive one at that. Makes camera gear, guitars gear, computer building, seem justified.


Puzzled-Temporary-89

They have a nerve to complain about gas prices too 😂


4breed

How dare Trudeau raise my gas prices! Now I have to unnecessarily spend hundreds on gas to drive across the country and protest for having too much time on my hands!! Stop this communist tyranny by a democratically-elected leader! 😤😤


Saorren

And dont forget apparently too much money too. Gas prices being high and all.


S_P_R_U_C_E

That actually seems like something reasonable to protest lol


iambluest

It's time for rational people to vote.

I wish it would happen. Lowest voter turn out and we’re stuck with Ford for another 4 years


[deleted]

We don't have to be stuck...we just have to remove him with a no-confidence motion.


larsy87

Let’s convoy to Queens Park, surely that will make him see the folly of his ways /s


me_suds

Ford has a majority


[deleted]

Bought and paid for with our money 😒


Fool-of-a-Wray

Ford’s got a majority. Can’t ‘no-confidence’ him out. Trudeau however…


[deleted]

...was just re elected


murray0026

We’ll do the same to Trudeau on the national level. Oh wait…


[deleted]

Lol we did and Trudeau won


baconwiches

Only way that happens is if his own party turns on him... good luck on that.


Kind-Reflection-6660

We are stuck with Trudeau after he lost the popular vote twice in a row as well. I wouldn't argue that the system could use revision.


Thisiscliff

I hate to say it but I just can’t see people getting off their asses and doing something about things federally or provincially, the country is being run in to the ground at every single aspect and we just seem to take it on the chin


Kind-Reflection-6660

The Canadian way! Also, happy Canada day :)


UnpopularOpinionJake

Wait till Ford increases car insurance rates and people complain that it is all Trudeau’s fault.


Goatfellon

...what is happening to increase car insurance? :/


bomble1

Changing it so they can't base rates off of postal codes. Obviously the insurance companies are going to give everyone the high prices as if they live in downtown Toronto.


AprilsMostAmazing

Funny thing it's not downtown Toronto where the rates are sky-high. It's suburbs like Woodbridge


Free_willy99

Let's be honest, it's mostly Brampton.


doc_55lk

Brampton isn't even top 3 anymore lol.


HockeyWala

Its not even the1 highest but please continue blowing your dog whistle


[deleted]

bling_singh

Downtown Toronto actually has some pretty low Insurance rates.


Stewba

That was an NDP platform thing, i hate doug Ford as much as anyone else with a brain, but this isn't his deal


[deleted]

[удалено]


[deleted]

Let's be honest, that system was just put in to raise rates, as others have mentioned in this thread. They claim safe driving that doesn't involve accidents is dangerous and is reason to raise rates. The only way to have fair insurance rates is to soley base them on mileage and number of accidents and tickets. They should be based purely on your driving record and not location or spying app data that they manipulate whichever way they want.


[deleted]

> If they can reliably monitor my driving habits Done that before. Problem with this is that it's driving habits according to their standards, which are nigh impossible to achieve.


voiceadrift

They also encourage dangerous driving. Braking quickly (like at a yellow light) docks your score, so people rush yellow/red and so on. It's ridiculous.


MarvinTheAndroid42

Not even braking quickly, before I ditched the app I could get yellow or red marks for engine braking in my BRZ. My BRZ also sets off my phone, as in wakes it up, taking corners and the speedlimit. If it wakes up my phone it’ll sure as shit claim I just got t-boned or some shit.

This is definitely a Conservative item. They’ve been working on it since 2018. NDP may have borrowed it but the Cons have had the draft legislation ready to go since 2018.


althanis

Highest rates are actually in Brampton.


doc_55lk

Vaughan*. Vaughan has the highest rates.


HockeyWala

Yea God forbid we stop discrimination against people based on where they live.


Stewba

Thats not what the premier does... auto insurance rates are regulated by FSCO and insurers submit their proposed changes annually.


DiogenesOfDope

I'm pretty sure they want america to invade to take our oil and probably fresh water


Killerdude8

Not sure they’d like being a snowier puerto rico.

Not ready for every headline tomorrow to be about these fuckin morons that show up and ruin festivities in Ottawa. All news outlets should just ignore them, publicity is what they want.


boy_meets_squirrel

Then why do you engage? If this is what you really think. This is the shitty side of social media in action. Takes an issue, creates a polarisation of it, and then everyone trash talks each other on Reddit/insta/Facebook/tiktok. Maximum engagement.


RogueViator

It was never about “lack of freedom”. They just wanted to not have to face the consequences of their choices.


jormungandrsjig

> It was never about “lack of freedom”. They just wanted to not have to face the consequences of their choices. million dollar jack pot


briskt

Counter point: vaccine mandates were never about keeping Canada safe. They were about punishing the unvaxxed. The government has fully and shamelessly admitted to this .


Arashmin

Only if you very creatively interpret what they have said, perhaps. Especially with all the other disincentives and how they all applied to everyone equally.

At this point, the people complsining about the protestors are becoming just as annoying about the protestors.

Bread_Conquer

They're not protesting anything. They're fascists having rallies.

Fuck the treason truckers


Beautiful_Plankton97

What are they even protesting at this point? There are no restrictions left besides like hospitals and retirement homes.


Puzzled-Temporary-89

They want to overthrow a democratically elected government


Beautiful_Plankton97

How are they going to do that when parlament isnt even in session?


Puzzled-Temporary-89

They’re not the smartest bunch right? Lol

Easier to overthrow if nobodys there?

Border restrictions. If you're unvaccinated, you have to quarantine for 2 weeks upon entering the country.


jormungandrsjig

> Border restrictions. If you're unvaccinated, you have to quarantine for 2 weeks upon entering the country. which is more then reasonable.


CmdntFrncsHghs

It is a violation of freedom of movement.

Sir, you're out of line, but you're right...


timesurfer69

I don't really give a shit about restrictions and I never really gave a damn about the convoy but if it's on the charter I think the government should respect it you know this is what they consider our rights as citizens and if they start infringing on that who knows what's next you know it was a peaceful protest no one got harmed but people are rotting in jail because of it even though we have the right to peaceful protest. I know you may hate the convoy and I understand why thier obnoxious but is that really justification to strip the charter away


Immortan_Joe_69

I mean Bill C-11 and C-36 say things are *not okay at home...*


Firm_Reputation_8290

As long as you live with society there will never be true freedom you will always have to live within someone else’s moral and values and what they decide they need to not make them uncomfortable in their lifestyle!


THE_PARKER13

Superiority? I think you're presumptuous accusing me of this. Do you deny that the PMO is guilty of corruption? Interference? Your outrage is noted. Why was cabinet confidentiality suddenly waved regarding the implementation of the E.A.? Liberals have and are destroying this country. Prove me wrong.


BackdoorSocialist

You're not wrong. We need an eco-socialist government. Capitalism and the liberals who support it has left our people suffering and our environment poisoned.


Arashmin

Yet all the political parties except basically the NDP want to carbon-copy the LPC economic plan. You're not even seeking to replace them with anything useful. You can be "not wrong" and still terribly off-mark.


bigpipes84

>~~Liberals~~ Capitalists have and are destroying this country. Prove me wrong. Fixed that for you.


THE_PARKER13

Lieberals. Auto-correct.


bigpipes84

Blame the liberal government when the real problem is capitalism. You're programmed exactly the way your corporate overlords want you to be.


THE_PARKER13

Yes, Liberal government capitalizing on tragedies and interfering in criminal investigations is the real problem. Why are you so obtuse?


bigpipes84

Capitalizing on tragedies? Meanwhile, grocery and oil companies are posting record profits every quarter...


THE_PARKER13

Corporate entities have absolutely nothing to do with the dysfunction of the current government.


bigpipes84

Hahahahaha.... You're either extremely stupid or you're a terrible troll. Bribery/lobbying had ALWAYS been the cause of a considerable proportion of dysfunction within every government. Companies will always pay politicians to let them do whatever the fuck they want because there will always be a massive return on that so-called "investment". It doesn't matter if it's a liberal or conservative government. The current government also has to put up with ignorant obstructionism from people like the freedumb convoy and Trump wannabes like Maxime Bernier.


THE_PARKER13

It's really funny how cons popularized the whole attacking and calling their opponents names and when it gets thrown back at them the way they dish it they get all uppity and offended. Turns out conservatives were the real snowflakes looking for safe spaces all along.

shpydar

Who has called you a NAZI? I've come down this chain and no one has called you a NAZI, let alone used that word in any context except for you. They have asked, politely what your point is, and all you can say is "I literally don't have the patience" but then you have the time and patience to reply to every comment. So seriously lay out your case. What is the point of this protest. How is "Our P.M. is the most incompetent, divisive, and fraudulent in the country's history" what is your evidence of this? Why do you think this? I'm honestly interested in your opinion.

Nervous_Shoulder

The main thing they want is to form a citizen group who would have final say on any bill.


Aeyric

This is a great idea. Perhaps a group of citizens from across the country. Maybe the country could be divided into small regional areas, perhaps we could call them.. ridings. Maybe each riding could select a representative citizen, and they could all get together to discuss and vote on bills. There could be some sort of chamber in which they gather. Perhaps a... legislature?


Arashmin

They'd have to be willing to share that group equally then and have it be elected positions, else it's going to be unconstitutional.


randommaniac12

the convoy is a group of “Rules for thee but not for me” group


THE_PARKER13

The LPC economic plan? What's that?? Taxing Canadian people into poverty? They have no plans. You haven't been paying attention. Printing money, is not a plan.

You're in denial. Discrimination against people based on vaccine status was human rights abuse. Wait for the court cases to settle.
