So lets discuss what happened here. In the middle of January the federal government made it mandatory to get vaccinated. Effectively putting many Truckers out of a job. They are also denied any benefits. So what are they to do? Tons of other major countries have already removed all restrictions. UK, Ireland, Scandinavia, etc. So we are sitting here wondering what's wrong with our government.

Hence the now unemployed truckers went to Ottawa to protest. Which is their human right? Even their charter right?

Before they arrived in Ottawa, 1 guy with a nazi flag walked around all over Ottawa and had photographers following him. There's a pretty large bounty to identify this dude, yet nobody can seem to do it.

However, the stories wrote themselves. From our state propaganda... They are a fringe minority of white supremacist truckers. Very unusually there were updates from the police on the highways saying the convoy was tiny, only a few trucks. Like an attempt to label this fringe minority tiny and can be ignored? Very unusual, never seen the police do this before.

The trucker convoy showed up in Ottawa and we discovered oh wait, they are a bunch of Indians. Not white supremacists at all. I dont know the statistic, but pretty significant portion of truckers are Indian. The number of videos mocking the propaganda media where not-white people are claiming to be white supremacists is pretty hilarious.

Then the media spun it again and now people believe the protest is against masks? LOL?

They raised significant $ on gofundme, who seized the funds and at first were going to be donating to left-wing charities. They have since autorefunded. However, what was the rule that they broke? It actually required the government to label the protest a military occupation. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Military_occupation

This designation is very narrow international definition. The allegation by the Canadian government is that they lost control of Ottawa to the protestors. This fringe minority trucker convoy who hasn't invaded any buildings is labelled a military occupation in order to remove their human/charter rights.

It's worse, the propaganda media labelled the solidarity protests in various cities around the country as a 'nation-wide insurrection'

The ottawa police have also started arresting anyone who is bringing 'material support' to the military occupation.

So why the sudden need for an online censorship bill? The government who clearly removed the protestors human rights wish to go further. Remove their ability to counter the clear propaganda being produced against them.

Canada who has some of the most strict covid restrictions is ignoring the protestors and not joining much of Europe by returning our rights. They are planning to remove more of our human rights.

This bridge isn't the only way in and out but this shutting down is huge. Not much of a fringe minority eh?
