The police handled these protesters with kid gloves compared to how they treat pipeline protesters, all under Trudeau junior.

B.S. The Government did nothing when the Natives blocked the rail links causing harm to CN/CP and Canadians across the country. Your attempt to obfuscate the facts makes you unqualified to comment and you should refrain from participating in this conversation.

Request for self-censorship duly noted and denied. Read up on Fairy Creek, for example.

As one of the donors included in this hack, I am not entirely sure what they're out to accomplish. Despite eye-rolling media mischaracterizations of these truckers as you-know-whats, it's a run of the mill workers strike. It has also been extremely peaceful and frankly comical at times. (We can contrast this with the "fiery yet mostly peaceful protests" of 2020 that negatively affected working class neighborhoods and…

Yeah I found it to be tone deaf when my supposedly progressive software eng colleagues would share videos of lockdown protestors on IG saying F you idiots, as they work their cushy job. A lot of these people were protesting because they want to work, and not be dependent on government handouts.

You seem misinformed, Canada does allow "recovered from COVID" as a way to bypass testing requirement when you enter Canada through the borders. Source: https://travel.gc.ca/travel-covid/travel-restrictions/covid-... Canada also has no vaccine passport. Vaccine passports are decided by provinces and every provinces is free to choose criteria of their choice for the passport or if they want a passport at all. Not ever…

From the link you gave:

"What is not accepted as a fully vaccinated traveller

Recovered from COVID-19 with only one dose

If you’ve recovered from COVID-19, you still need at least 2 doses of an accepted COVID-19 vaccine or mix of 2 accepted vaccines."

And Canada does have a vaccine passport, for example, you can't go to WalMart of Costco without vaccination.

What to fear? Some lunatic calling an employer and citing Trudeau to say the donor supports homophobe racists. Its happened with other leaked lists.

Another problem is that, if the Canadian government tightens the screws, the donation might be deemed material support for crime. BS, but I wouldn't trust the Canadian judiciary.

The protest is super unpopular in canada. It could just as easily be a random canadian citizen who is pissed about the protest and wants to prove that the protest is not grass roots but foreign meddling.

Unpopular with wealthier people who are inconvenienced, very popular amongst what the media like to call 'populists' - ie the people who deliver the rich people's chattels

Do you have a citation on that claim? For example, it seems like they're on the wrong side by a large factor on things like vaccine mandates:

It also seems unlikely that, say, the workers at factories who were prevented from working are rich people…

GiveSendGo appears to be a Christian crowdfunding platform. Maybe it's nuanced but I am unable to see a Christian connection to the mask mandates or whatever the truckers are protesting.

Foreign support to this movement is not exactly a secret. They were waiving Trump flags, confederate flags and lots of MAGA signs were seen among the protesters. Also the movement has been publicized on Fox News and by famous right-wing people in the US, that's just normal that it would eventually lead to a lot of people in the US deciding to start donating. The simplest explanation is more likely than the conspiracy…

>The simplest explanation is more likely than the conspiracy that the Canadian government had time to make up fake donations from the US.

Isn't it convenient how all contradicting evidence is dismissed by evidence-free conspiracy theories?

And the evidence from the leak is fully testable and falsifiable! You could literally just email people who donated and ask them.

If you're going to attack "media mischaracterizations" let's be truthful. > but because white collar, work-at-home employees are mildly inconvenienced for a week, they're advocating police action against them and calling it an insurrection. "Mildly inconvenienced" is an interesting term for shutting down a border crossing that handles $350 million in trade per day. "Mildly inconvenienced" is an interesting term for r…

> We're "calling it an insurrection" because that is a stated objective of the organizers, to overthrow the elected government of Canada. I'm liberal, but the far left jumping to call protests an act of " insurrection " makes me want to warn you that this is an extreme characterization that will only further polarize us. We have to stop this nonsense. It's like when those on the far left call for an end of free speec…

You're ignoring what I wrote entirely. We're not calling it an insurrection because it's a protest. We're calling it an insurrection because it's a protest with the express stated goal of overthrowing the democratically elected government.
