Lol. I was watching a stream earlier around the crane truck. It was a crowd of mostly young women holding hands and singing and dancing to pop music. This whole thing is about as intimidating as a Care Bears sing-a-long.

I didn't know that George Thorogood did one, I just discovered it moments ago. I think that one is pretty good too. For anyone interested, there's a pretty comfy thread for"unusual cover songs" here.

The thing I find most amazing is Trudeau ineffectuality during this whole situation. He's had his way for the last 5 years and he's been able to do everything from change the anthem to protect troons unchallenged. Even at the beginning of this whole thing, when he was leaving borders open to "not be racist", while filling the country with Covid, no one blinked an eye.

Now that his authority is being challenged, where is he? Hiding. He crumbled at the first sign of a real crisis that requires leadership.
And of course, the mentally ill on reddit and twitter are blaming the police (who they've shit on for the past 5 years and demanded the defunding of) and Ford, because everything is his fault.

Imagine the Joker saying: "Justin Trudeau let the borders open not to be racist and letting Covid going, nobody blink an eye. Truckers challenged Trudeau lost his minds and he hide like a coward".

Last time I checked SD.net forum a few years ago, it was effectively dead with barely any activity. Though no argument here on him needing to get Honked.

I'm not shocked. If it means anything to you, I was in an AIM chat group with a few people from both forums, namely Countess Marina and Big Steve. Wong was so damn toxic the admins had to stage a coup to keep him from driving people off because he just banned anyone who disagreed with him too much. What he did to ASVS vet Boyd was inexcusable.

Funny how those two boards were like a foretelling of modern clown world, especially with all the troons that popped up. Might as well have confirmed the Dysphoria vs. AGP theory comparing Marina to the ones that came later. I'm sure Wong's at least bitching about how racist the Truckers are, so even if he's not getting honked hopefully it's making him angry.

At most, there'll be reactions like this trucker protest, which demands nothing but to slow down the slow boil and rewind some policy or another a few years.

This is precisely why the truckers must not only demand the restrictions be lifted, but that they be made illegal.

In the US, there are a lot of red states which have this kind of stuff banned, in one form or another, but it's mostly based on executive orders, which are easily reversed the next time the state gets a blue governor. Last I checked, there are three states in the US with vax passes and shit like that banned not by executive order, but by law passed through the legislature: Arkansas, Florida, and Texas.

We need to be certain that we don't allow our political elites to trap us in this quicksand again; of years-long, never-ending """states of emergency""" with no win condition, over what is effectively the common cold. Canadians MUST make this shit illegal. Amend the emergencies acts at both the federal and provincial levels. A state of emergency is meant to allow for a rapid response, needed faster than a legislature can legislate, such as in the event of a severe natural disaster; it is absolutely an abuse of state of emergency law to renew it every two weeks, 100x in a row. Make vaccine passports uncontrovertibly illegal: strengthen medical privacy laws, and strengthen medical discrimination laws.

This one is a really huge hurdle, but: Canadians need to reopen the constitution, more specifically the Charter of Rights and Freedoms, and scrap or substantially reform Sections 1 and 33 of the charter. We absolutely need absolute rights in this country.
Section 1. The Canadian Charter of Rights and Freedoms guarantees the rights and freedoms set out in it subject only to such reasonable limits prescribed by law as can be demonstrably justified in a free and democratic society.

Section 33.
(1) Parliament or the legislature of a province may expressly declare in an Act of Parliament or of the legislature, as the case may be, that the Act or a provision thereof shall operate notwithstanding a provision included in section 2 or sections 7 to 15.
(2) An Act or a provision of an Act in respect of which a declaration made under this section is in effect shall have such operation as it would have but for the provision of this Charter referred to in the declaration.
(3) A declaration made under subsection (1) shall cease to have effect five years after it comes into force or on such earlier date as may be specified in the declaration.
(4) Parliament or the legislature of a province may re-enact a declaration made under subsection (1).
(5) Subsection (3) applies in respect of a re-enactment made under subsection (4).

In effect, what Section 1 says is that your rights and freedoms can be infringed, as long as a politician can justify to a judge that this infringement would be reasonable in a "free and democratic society," with something called the Oakes Test. This is a fairly easy legal test to pass, and it is passed most of the time when tested. However, if the politician really fucks up and absolutely cannot justify whatever rights infringement he is proposing to the judiciary, this politician is then free to invoke the notwithstanding clause and do it anyway. So in effect we have no rights at all. This is how Canadians purportedly have a right to free speech according to Section 2 of the Charter, but can also get sent to prison for making a transphobic remark to Jonathan Yaniv; because that has been deemed "justifiable in a free and democratic society." This is also why they have been able to trample all over what are purportedly our fundamental Charter rights during the scamdemic, for example banning protests, or banning emigration for vaccine-free individuals.

All this shit needs to be majorly reformed. It's a huge undertaking, though. Canada would probably need a constitutional convention, after replacing the PM, a majority of premiers, thus a majority of MLAs/MPs in a majority of provincial legislatures and the House of Commons, all with sympathetic agents. Quebec would probably want to obstruct due to language stuff; that's why these clauses are present. But they should either get a French-specific language exception applicable to their province, or Quebec should be granted independence. No more of these broad infringement clauses. Canada keeping Quebec is not worth the Charter being so impotent that it is legal for the entire population to be indefinitely kept under house arrest on the premise of a bad cold going around.

Also, something needs to be done about Canada's media landscape. For one, it should be illegal for the government to send the media hundreds of millions of dollars to air Covid-19 or vaccination PSAs, or otherwise ever transfer tax dollars to media corporations. Also probably scrap the CBC, or substantially overhaul it from top to bottom.

Finally, the longer this contrived crisis goes on, it becomes more and more obvious that these decisions are not mere incompetence, but rather fueled by some blend of malice and corruption. Aside from amending laws or the constitution, there needs to be a major, publicly transparent investigation into why this happened, how this happened, who is responsible, and so on, along with trials. Such people need to be brought to justice through all the proper legal avenues. Part of the role of the legal system is to punish an offender, but another part is to make an example of that person, such that everyone else knows not to do that thing. Future generations of bureaucrats and politicians need to know there are serious legal consequences to this kind of malicious, corrupt power grab.

Justin-kun not putting himself before the public is such a retard mistake I'm stunned

Huge void and the press can't cover for you anywhere near as effectively if you literally don't show up. Silence from a politician in a crisis or contest is real bad. Even Justin-kun isn't too stupid to understand that until now

The CoVID was a stupid play. He's max-vaxxed so he can't say "oh I was too sick to govern" because that will undermine the whole credibility of the vaccine effectiveness, the root topic of the protest.
He's already denounced protestors as a "racist fringe minority of terrorists" so if he comes to the bargaining table he is now negotiating with "terrorists" according to his own propaganda.

He's painted himself into stupid corners any which way. It makes me wonder how this party even came into power. It's like the Keystone Cops of politics.

Listening to the Flying Burrito Brothers' version, I was thinking "that sounds like it would be right up Jerry Garcia's alley" and looked to see if the Dead had done a cover. Well no, but New Riders of the Purple Sage did.

This is better than the V for Vendetta solidarity scene.

Fuck, we should ship them Guy Fawkes masks. Or... Something. Subvert V for Vendetta is my point.

This bitch is the head of state and the most politically important person in the country, his absence cedes a lot of ground to the honklers and gives them the initiative. This is a challenge to the policy supported and implemented in own areas of authority by the national government. Saying it's a provincial issue is a retard dodge. Lobbing some standard attack bombs through social media is pathetic. There's neither quantity nor quality in the national government's reaction. It's pure political retardpractice apart from who is right and wrong

Is poor Justin-kun actually kinda pretty sick from the coof or something?

I don't think Trudeau has very much wiggle room. The truckers have made their demands plain and Trudeau has no room to compromise. If he kept coming out and going "yeah, negotiations aren't going well" he'd look like an obstinate dumbass.

Granted he looks like an obstinate dumbass right now but he can at least claim "I took a stand for public health by not negotiating with white supremacists."
 
Another quick one from Australia; looks like the cops have succeeded in intimidating asking the protesters to move elsewhere. They're now getting set up in a caravan park about 15 minutes drive from the parliament buildings where the local council can charge them 35 dollarydoos a night. That is, they appear to be successfully sweeping the protesters under the rug, and are now trying to extort them.

I fear this may be the end, but hopefully with more people from across Australia heading into Canberra to support the protest they'll say a collective "nah fuck yas" and go right back where they were. Either that or start blocking roads, but unfortunately Canberra isn't a major population centre (it's pretty much just the parliament buildings and a few museums, with a small local population) so not sure what would come from that. Someone more up on how road freight in Aus works might be able to weigh in.

Keep honkin Canabros, looks like it might just be youse guys speaking for the world a little while longer.
