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.

I guess that's what counts as hacktivism these days. Doxxing working class people and their supporters. It's nice to see the left and right's true colors here and how easily they pulled back the veil of opposition to reveal their true contempt for the lower classes and the real class war underpinning everything. These last two years, I have seen so much scary authoritarianism from well-meaning people using their own…

Isn’t this freedom? The right to donate and the right to know who did? Aren’t these donations considered speech (US centric)? Or it only distasteful when your speech and opinion is public? I support very robust free speech perspectives and freedom of speech rights, but there are also consequences for our speech (and the protections, in the US at least, are from your government only).

One of the four pillars of ethical journalism is minimizing harm. Knowing if there are big and powerful donors may be important to surface, but outing your neighbors has no journalistic upside. It's all about tribe vs tribe at that point. If you publish this and target the mob at ordinary people, you deserve to be forced out of the profession, in my opinion.

Being objective here:

- 90 percent of Canada's truckers are vaccinated, so why are you using working class as a substitute for protestor, then using that to call this class warfare?

- Don't you think working class people will care most about this list? The people with the most time to scour lists and make angry tweets probably most likely aren't UHNW individuals...

- Don't you see the irony is claiming authoritarianism has landed under the guise of morality, then assigning morality based on party orientation? Somehow painting the right as working class victims, and the left as upper class aggressors?

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 every provinces have a vaccine passport anymore.

Notorious? And the best source for this is a 52-year-old article from a student newspaper in the US, with no listed author or sourcing? The linked article also reveals that the separatists in question were kidnapping multiple people at the time. This seems like ample reason to arrest a bunch of them.

Please don't cross into personal attack. You can make your substantive points without that.

Alternately, yet another right wing "alternative" site had poor security practices and got exploited. They had S3 buckets full of customer data sitting open for some time, and they stayed accessible days after it was widely known.

Time and again these sites have demonstrated their disdain for security, and it bites them yet again. Anyone making the jump to conspiracy or state sponsored hacking is making quite a logical leap, imo.

Maybe soon, but not yet. Hospitals are still stretched, mostly by unvaccinated patients. If provincial passports included covid recovered, many people who haven't yet gotten infected would have an incentive to get infected.

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…

This read [1] is pretty interesting in regards to the increase in support for authoritarianism that you are seeing. It could just be yet another evolutionary quirk that doesn't work in the modern age.

Perhaps all the development into algorithms that make people click on things, when people click on things they are outraged about is a contributing factor to this if there is a link between perceived moral division and support for authoritarianism.

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
