One thing the trucker protests show us is why governments are pushing for kill switches on vehicles. They want the ability to control movement and transportation over large or small areas.

That is one reason I have been terrified of the move to self-driving cars (and trucks). It is pretty easy for TPTB to take control and shut down movement under those circumstances.

Whatever, one thinks of the trucker protests-it is very unlikely that the freedom and capability to pull them (or something similar) off will exist in ten years (or less).

Unfortunately some here probably think governments should be able to control movement.

Actually, what the trucker protests show us is how vulnerable our (and Canada's) infrastructure is to a small number of large vehicles in strategic places causing a major disruption. One of the most worrisome and credible terror threats is an attack of just that nature.

Of that nature? You fear an attack of Plinko and bounce houses? Figures.

Try long guns, body armour, ammunition and stockpiles of fuel.

Try relentless noise outside seniors homes, hospital and schools.

Try teens attacked with attempts to rip off their masks.

Try urinating on the war memorial.

Try dark alt right money being funnelled to the insurrectionists

Try getting a clue.

Most of the right knows exactly what they're doing. Millions of people participating in largely peaceful protest (and it was largely peaceful) in support of Black Lives Matter were a grave threat to freedom as we know it. A few thousand disgruntled people forcibly interfering with literally billions of dollars in trade in order to gripe about having to wear masks for the protection of others is simply democracy in action. --Bob

Your willful ignorance is breathtaking. Not worth the effort to explain how and where you're wrong. At least I've learned that.

Not to mention their utterly delusional thinking. It's astounding.

You'll notice that when Flock doesn't have a valid response to an argument, he makes a statement like this.

And a few large vehicles in strategic locations with explosives could wreak havoc on a region's infrastructure. In 2017, a fire underneath an overpass on I-85 near downtown Atlanta caused a collapse that delayed traffic for months until it was repaired. That wasn't even at a critical intersection and it wasn't caused by a truck. So this isn't Plinko and bounce houses, whatever that means.

All the Canadians I have talked to are tired of the whole thing and have no sympathy for the truckers.

Go figure that blocking a bunch of roads would piss people off!

But I guess we weren’t talking about the brightest bunch of people to begin with.

I do enjoy all the mental gymnastics with the comparisons to BLM. They shut down a bridge in Pittsburgh one time. I think most people stopped taking them seriously after that. Whether or you think someone’s goals are noble or not does not matter if what they do will never work.

Honk honk!

Get vaccinated btw!

Polls taken in Canada support Weyoun's anecdotal evidence.

The truckers have sympathizers in Israel, as well as France, the Netherlands, Australia and New Zealand:

Israeli 'Freedom Convoy' Blocks Main Highway in Protest of COVID Measures

The Kiwis have their own style:

In the New Zealand capital of Wellington on Monday, authorities tried blasting Barry Manilow songs and the 90s dance hit “Macarena” on loop in an unsuccessful attempt to break up a convoy of protesters that has been encamped outside Parliament for nearly a week.

My thoughts, exactly. smh

Perhaps we could ask the truckers to take on our southern border, since our administration has no interest in securing it.

Well, we are just not as bright, tolerant or virtuous as they are. We need to accept that. So we should just shut up and do as we're told, dammit.

I think the protests involving more than ten million people edged out the protests involving a few thousand. Of course, that includes the violence started by right-wing provocoteurs. --Bob

Honk honk! Let me sit outside your window and honk all day. Then I will be triggered when you vote for the other candidate!

Honk honk!

BTW I wonder if Ron DeSantis and his supporters here are in favor of these truckers being RUN OVER.

After all, he helped pass a law in Florida allowing private citizens to run over protesters blocking roads.

Of course, those protesters were Black people and maybe that’s what he really meant.

I get tired of trying to figure out who is being hypocritical when!

Honk honk!

BTW the REALITY of the situation is that the VACCINE IS SAFE and BIDEN HAD WAY MORE VOTES.

So while BLM was reckless and counterproductive to do what they did, they did have the REALITY that black guys are getting shot by cops way too much to say it’s simple bad luck.

So that’s one thing going for them those truckers should look into.

Honk!

Bob, I would suggest you do some actual research on real life. It would maybe help your credibility a bit.

Maybe start by googling BLM Protest damage, BLM Antifa damage, stuff like that. Maybe go to 'images' if you don't want to read about it, which you probably won't. I know, all these people are right wing fanatics, and they made it up.

I like your use of the phrase 'mostly peaceful'. It says a lot.

https://www.nationalreview.com/corner/o ... -peaceful/

But I know I'm pissing in the wind. I'm not going to lift a finger to convince you of anything. Waste of time. You don't want to educate yourself and stay in your comfort zone, knock yourself out.

But I guess words were always more important than actions to you.

I suspect you don't realize that the blockage of the Ambassador Bridge and related protests has already caused a couple of billion (with a "b") dollars in economic damage. That's a REALLY important link between our countries. --Bob
