I'm confused as to why truckers fighting for their livelyhood are going to blow up their means of livelyhood and fellow trucker friends in order to hurt Justin Trudeau who immediately ran away and went into hiding outside the city.

Are you ok or just totally buckbroken by profoundly Canadian dudes chilling? Are you still mad they upset the bug people in their bughive located in the very place where they spend all day planning out a life of destituion for you and everyone else in Canada?
The truckers were honking their horns as a message from the hinterlands because the retards in Ottawa had censored actual sentiment and feedback so badly they literally had no idea how pissed off people were.

I am not litigating this again but the same week the convoy fired up, Quebec was trial ballooning extra taxes on unvaccinated people and the panicky retards were talking themselves into more restrictions and punishment.

It was a peasant revolt with no elite support, but it really did pop the Covid bubble and snapped western governments out of it.

Also: Justin could have diffused it with some wink-and-gun charm, meeting people and appearing to take them seriously without changing actual course. He could have flattered them into a mild weekend party and easy dispersal. But no, he had to hide and shit talk them and leave them with no recourse but to make themselves heard.

Which reminds me of this situation we are in. Justin Trudeau is fundamentally bad at the basics of governance. He hides and gossips like a bitch from people he can’t control, like truckers or Trump, and his response always makes things worse.

Can anyone think of a situation he’s actually finessed like a talented politician would? Like, taken a situation where someone disagreed with him and found a mutually beneficial solution where everyone got at least a bit of what they wanted?

Anyways, look! Complete capitulation, wasn’t this Traitorous Danielle Smith’s position yesterday?

All that, and all Canada got was extra overtime taking bourbon bottles off the shelf, and a lost Starlink deposit.

Genius!

I need you to know the only way I can have a reasonable conversation in this thread is to never ever mention the convoy because of how badly it triggers chuds as if it was Vietnam. I managed to not mention it once until a poster quoted me and asked me to present a discussion with no emotional attachment about his emotional attachment to the convoy.

I know real truckers and most of them agree that they drive a weapon on the road. But nope, not a weapon sitting on parliament. That cognitive dissonance makes it impossible to debate with convoy supporters and I have no respect for them as they too are Canadian Niggers. Seethe about it some more.

Please note: I wasn’t responding to you, you don’t get to control conversation here. I don’t actually give a shit about your “needs”. I was even nice enough to spoiler so you could avoid being triggered.

On topic: 10k military personnel at the border is actually a good chunk of them

You sound pretty emotionally attached when you re-imagine truckers as dangerous terrorists and throw out that super sly zoomer shade of "real truckers". Some slick gourmet shit right there Jimmy. Meanwhile Ottawa continues to fills the country with actual terrorists and that doesn't alarm you. Them heading for America certainly alarms America.
 
I’m just picturing our fat, underequipped soldiers camping in February in Saskatchewan wheatfields and this is somehow the funniest thing we’re going to see all month.
 
From WH: "Canadians appear to have misunderstood the plain language of the executive order and they're interpreting it as a trade war,"

Media is already jumping on it as gaslighting but you know, maybe the WH is a bit surprised that Trudeau and the Liberal party is willing to take Trump's gambit and escalate it into a full blown economic war against Canadians.
 
Canada has developed into a deeply unserious nation that doesn't take its sovereignty seriously.

Instead of making an equitable deal with the native tribes here, instead they formed the Indian Act (name didn't age well), which basically gave them their own sovereignty on native land and led to years of money funnels into native land. Not only did this deal not do us any favours, but natives in Canada now experience extreme levels of crime, poverty and unemployment. They don't need to work, after all, treaty natives get tax exemption and free money from the government ad infinitum. Normally, when you deal with someone, each side of the table offers something. Not with the Indian Act! There are no obligations placed on them at all, instead culminating years of collective white guilt into bags of ever depreciating Canadian Dollars dumped on their property. In some provinces (MN), we even air-lift in medical professionals just so they can have access to health care! Aren't we caring?

Forming a nation of French and English settlers, we once again set the standard that we, as a nation, will be tread upon until our oppressors get what they want. A culmination of the events of the Seven-years-war made Quebec's citizens sour with France, who ceded them to Britain in lieu of their plantations in the Caribbean. Finding themselves unwilling British citizens, the Quebec colonists got themselves provincehood during confederation. What did they do after this? Nothing but rock the boat for 150 years. They demanded special status from any government program (All of Canada, Except Quebec became important rhetoric), and it was granted each and every time. Exception from the Canadian Pension Plan? Granted. Special access to transfer funds from rich provinces? Granted. Canada even sat back and watched them vote to separate. Like... bitch, you do not get the leisure to sit back and "vote" on whether or not you're part of the province. But it didn't matter, we let them vote and fail twice anyways.

And good old America. Once the shackles of WWII were off, and we didn't have to focus on military as much, we experienced a great boom like the US did. After all, we were a western nation who didn't get bombed and won WWII without any economic sanctions. Instead of doing what the US did with its new advantage, who used that capital to proceed to financially dominate the rest of the world now that Britain was selling off all its foreign assets to pay for its war, Canada instead decided that it was time to tax the living shit out of its own people. Income Taxes, provincial income taxes, fuel taxes, road taxes, hidden taxes, luxury taxes, and eventually Federal sales taxes and Provincial sales taxes! Napkin math says that out of every dollar a Canadian earns, 60c goes right to the government in one form or another. Needless to say, businesses in Canada came to the realization that they'd make a lot more money simply trading with the US than with Canadians. So that's what they did. As we sold and sold to the (albeit willing) American markets, our dependence on them being willing to do so increased.

We taxed things so hard that any time a project landed on the desk of a legislator that allowed us to trade with other Canadians more easily (typically by developing the Canadian Shield with better logistics routes, such as pipelines, ice routes, highways, railways and the like), they were shot down each and every time. Why bother? It's easier to just sell to the US. Now thanks to how hard Canadians are fucked by the Canadian Government, it's cheaper to own a cell phone plan roaming on an American plan than it is to buy one from a Canadian Carrier. It's cheaper to fly overseas through customs twice to another Canadian city from west to east cost or visa versa than it is to simply take a direct flight because US flights are half the cost!

Canada spends too much time shitting on other provinces than it does acting like a unified country. It's like the more advanced version of a collection of Congolese tribes too busy fighting among one another to realize what teaming up even looks like.

Getting an energy pipeline across the question shouldn't be "but what if Quebec objects?" (hint: it did) - instead, the question should be how quickly Quebec can come up with a project tender and how much they stand to make from it.

As it stands right now, the country will buckle under an even tiny amount of stress. It doesn't take its own sovereignty seriously.
