Media coverage of these protests is vastly negative. I remember only a few years ago (2020) when protests were undoubtedly violent across the United States. Video evidence of this violence as well as mass crowd driven theft was widely documented and distributed. I have yet to see video evidence of any violence from freedom convoys, and the ground based video evidence I have seen appears vastly peaceful. This does not…

Well they did say they were watching videos of it and it seemed peaceful. Basically that the videos they are seeing don't support the message they are hearing. I would be interest to see evidence either way.

Honestly your post looks like a fraudulent/troll post as you have only posted once. Professing to be a very concerned covid citizen and then saying how peaceful this protest is. It has significant impacts so far: Shutdown the largest trade border, cache of guns found in Coutts protest, local downtown core of Ottawa closed, $800,000 per day to the police services to manage it, harassment of people on the street, white…

Several of the most prominent acts of violence during the BLM protests were indeed Boogaloo Boys (murders of multiple police officers in Oakland, arson at a police precinct in Minneapolis, shooting up a different precinct with an AK-47 while shouting "Justice for Floyd!")

Are we in the same reality? https://www.nbcnews.com/news/us-news/man-pleads-guilty-minne...

Yep.. that was the 4th person arrested..

Here’s one of the others;

> According to the complaint, Hunter would later post multiple messages on Facebook bragging of his actions in Minneapolis on the night of 28 May and morning of 29 May, writing, “I set fire to that precinct with the Black community,” and, “My mom would call the FBI if she knew.” “I’ve burned police stations with Black Panthers in Minneapolis,” he claimed in one message, and in another, “The BLM protesters in Minneapolis loved me.”

That says a lot if that's what a violent protest looks like in Canada when the "peaceful" ones in the US involve millions of dollars in property damage and numerous injuries or deaths.

While we're on the subject of the fallacy of relative privation, you'll surely acknowledge that the closure of the Ambassador Bridge for a week is a couple orders of magnitude worse than the 2020 protests. After all, the appropriate measure of a protest is dollars lost, and hundreds of millions of dollars of goods cross the bridge every day.

Not really that fallacy - no claim was made that it wasn't a problem. If anything, it's a musing on how media bias may affect how things are portrayed. Specifically with calling something violent. If violence is the adjective we are examining, the loss (or delay) of revenue from the protest would not fit in this model.

I am curious though, are goods not being rerouted?

Please don't cross into the flamewar style here. Your comment is a noticeable step in that direction, which is against both the letter and the spirit of the site guidelines. You can make your substantive points without that.

It appears this was the result of terrible security at GiveSendGo. I'd agree it could be state sponsored, but I am certain there are enough people with the skills to do this on their own downtown Ottawa (even if it turned out they work for the gov't). That said, I am thoroughly disappointed the Federal gov't and much of the media coverage. They have done nothing but make the situation worse. I think it is intentional…

No they weren’t! People protesting BLM didnt get scratched as America got together to condemn police brutality. Antifa, who highjacked the protests and torched cities, got arrested. But most were released by sympathetic DAs. In fairness the BLM organizers are getting arrested. For fraud.

I don't want to get political here, that's not my intention but this even was 100% peaceful protestors who just happened to be somewhere the President wanted to go were gassed for no reason. https://www.npr.org/2020/06/01/867532070/trumps-unannounced-...

No worries, your cool. But it didnt happen (i mean they did get gassed, but not because of trump)

https://www.washingtonpost.com/nation/2021/06/09/park-police...

Note the source (WaPo is anti trump) and year (after the 2020 dust settled)

This based on an investigation done by the Biden admin.

One of the casualties of our 24 hr media cycle is that in the orgy of current news we don't pay attention to the follow up.

> Furthermore, it can be effectively argued that forcing workers to get vaccinated or lose their jobs is inherently discriminatory and perhaps even anti-freedom. From my understanding, this is only the case for truckers crossing the border. Most of the vaccination mandates I have heard of have been at the provincial or municipal levels and only affect employees of the government or publicly controlled institutions (h…

It is not the employers that are demanding these people be vaccinated, They just want their products delivered. The government wont allow drivers to cross an imaginary line without submitting to vaccination: an even more egregious trespass of an individuals liberty than their usual practice of extortion and/or delay.

It was an open S3 bucket linked from the source code of the Freedom Convoy's donation page: https://techcrunch.com/2022/02/08/ottawa-trucker-freedom-con...

An open S3 bucket is a huge red flag that this feels state manufactured. Most people aligned with this protest probably possess the technical chops to know to do better.

I suspect both Occam and Hanlon would disagree.
