So where do these protests go from here?

[nobody's_hero]

Trying to be optimistic and definitely Canada (of all countries) has given a huge morale boost to the world, but I predict one of two things will happen:

1) The protestors eventually go home without anything changing
2) The government relents and repeals the mandates, yet the same people who caused the problem in the first place get to remain in office

I know how a lot of people feel about political action being rather meaningless, but it seems to me that it is easier to get people to spend a week or more protesting in below-zero temperatures, than it is to get them to spend 15 minutes voting in a primary election so that choices in November don't end up being between a douche and a turd sandwich.

Canada has it probably worse than we do. They have a half dozen or so political parties and 90% of them are the same with only minor variations. We have two wings of the same bird in a two-party system, whereas they have some ungodly deformed 6-winged mutated bird, lol.

But seriously, where does it go from here? Because I swear to God if this thing fizzles and fades without anything changing, then a-political action seems to be just as useless as political action.

No sign of a no confidence vote yet, but I seriously think Trudeau is toast. Whether that means someone like Candice Bergen (who definitely seems to be the best and brightest) can build a coalition and score the PM spot or not, I don't know.

The narrative is crumbling. Whether that means people hunt down the criminals and separates Medicine and State, or clamors more for universal health care because their immune systems are compromised as hell, I don't know.

The trucks are moving in on every capital in the western world. I doubt they can make as big an impact, at least not separately. But this is the first sign of the global hegemony facing a global grassroots movement. God I love typing that. A global grassroots movement! Yes!

The MSM is out of credibility. Whether people find new ways to get informed or retreat into pure apathy I don't know.

The human race just got a life lesson. Will it collectively grow up a little, or is its development too arrested? I don't know.

But Canada showed the world how to simultaneously tell the Schwabbies to fuck off, and reconnect their sense of community. And my friend, my team lost yesterday and won't go to the Super Bowl, and I just don't care. I haven't had this much hope for the world since ever. The world situation has been sinking my whole life, slowly at first, then in an ever-quickening spiral. And this is the first sign I've ever seen that anyone even wants to try pulling back on that stick to see if it works.

What happens next? I'm damned if I know. But I'm not looking to see what comes with a sense of dread, my friend. And it's so weird and wonderful I don't know how to feel tonight.

I do know this. Those brushfires we've been working our asses off to light in men's minds are scorching a Schwabbie named Trudeau, and that's the best sign of my life.

It's happening. I don't know what it is yet, fish or fowl. But it's fucking happening!

Resistance just might not be futile after all

Look at where this conversation is going (link below). Hard not to agree... Basically, they need to take over now. Otherwise, they'll just go home with their tail between their legs and the existing regime will utilize this moment as their best example as to why government will have to crack down more...
If there are tens of thousands like the pics and videos suggest, that's enough.

Then again, aren't the protests supposed to be peaceful? Isn't that our M.O.?
It seems peace has only gotten us ruin. Meanwhile, the left uses violence and seems to get their way(s).


Edit: I think there have been some gofundme's going around for the truckers. Do your research to make sure it's a legit one but I think they're sharing funds for fuel, lodging, food, etc. Definitely support them on your social media accounts so people can see.

I don't think it's a question of peace vs violence. It's more of a question of impact, typically financial. The damage and disruption of the riots had an impact and TPTB wanted those disruptions stopped. Disruptions can be peaceful with strikes and civil disobedience. If there's no disruption in a peaceful protest, it's not going to have much of an impact. Assembling in the town square and giving speeches might be annoying to TPTB, but without any real disruption it's literally business as usual.

I think most will eventually go home and the rest will be run off by the police. Wish it was otherwise, but that is what I expect to happen.

It has to.

It has to spread to Toronto and the US Canada border.

Each individual nation has to do the same.

But nations' capitals are often times uneventful.

Choose a major metropolitan city, or all of them.

I did see a video of what someone alleged was police officers taking food to the truckers. I don't know how well it can be corroborated, and if it is true, I suspect someone up top will put a stop to it.

EDIT: I've also seen reports of police harassing the convoys as they moved across Canada, so it's a mix.

Don't write off Canucks or the US. Our ancestors were a tough lot, but we are also nice easy going people. We'll tolerate a lot for peace. I think a lot of people have been pushed too far, but I don't think anything real will happen until parents have trouble feeding their kids.

Saw the PM's speech today. Was all about the bad behavoir of the protestors and never addressed their concerns at all. No surprise there.

There has been NO BAD Behavior. except from one idiot egging trucks today.

The Convoy Has been peaceful. the few reports otherwise have been entirely Fabricated on social Media..

In reality truckers are Cleaning streets,, Feeding Homeless from their supplies.. They have Truckloads of Food.

And the Makeup is all nationalities and skin colors..

Alberta Border has been the REAL FUN today.

I read about them harassing fast food workers about mask and trying to get food from homeless shelters. I also saw video of some drinking and carrying on in the middle of the street at night. It only takes a few idiots to ruin a good thing.

I have read a lot of TROLLS posting shit,,
And I trust the Live footage I can see.. Why would people with several mobile Kitchens cooking foood be taking anything from a homeless soup line..

You might question the origin of that Story..

Ottawa Police say it never happened.. Go see some live video of the Pizza oven.. or the Provisions Table..


Why would people with Literal TRUCKLOADS of Food need to steal it? They are giving it away.

Saw the PM's speech today.

I saw the RCMP in full retreat..

it was a better show.

Canada actually has fair, hand-counted public elections. Organize candidates to take Parliament. They can't pull the hijinks there that they can here. A vote is still a vote.

Electronic voting in Canada

I read some other reports yesterday:

Apparently these people are littering everywhere
Apparently they're all racist
Apparently everyone is leaving because there's a bad winter storm coming


No idea if these can actually be verified but those things were swirling around some popular social media sites. My first thought was that was all just slander.

Go read the thread. That soup kitchen owes Trudeau. The city has never been cleaner. Its homeless have never been more well-fed. There are more races participating than serving in parliament, and that pic you saw was obviously staged (that guy with no mask next to the Nazi flag waver is none other than Trudeau's personal staff photographer).

Yeah, the thread is twenty-something pages. It's painless. It's easier to read than it was for Occam, myself and others to gather that information and lay it before you gift wrapped. Make the investment and be knowledgeable.
