Hell no. I am far below most people.
I do wish that legitimate questions be answered. I like dealing with real questions and real answers. I learn from real answers. I have learned what BS smells like.
It's like a child asking why they cannot do something and the parent says because. Because is not an answer, it is an excuse for not being able to explain.
"Violates my rights." What rights? "My rights" Please explain. ........ Crickets.
Anybody care to take it on?
My point of view is limited and probably misses many aspects of the situation. I ain't a trucker, and I ain't Canadian.
But seems pretty clear to me there's a mix of issues here.
First is the vax itself. Some folk genuinely believe, rightly or wrongly, that the vax is useless and possibly dangerous. And they believe there's a right of personal autonomy contained in or implied by the Charter or the common law. And they believe that the vax mandate punishes a choice that's theirs to make.
Second is a more nebulous notion that the government should not be mandating things unless there's a clear, indisputable connection between what they're proposing to mandate and what the problem is. The way our courts put it is "a compelling government interest and narrowly tailored to serve that interest with a minimum intrusion on the rights of the people."
There may be other things, but the third thing I'm thinking of is a widespread dissatisfaction with "the way things are going." I know that's not very helpful, but it's important. Revolutions are caused by an un-analyzed dissatisfaction with "the way things are going." If you're in power and sit there and insist that you will only listen to problems that are clearly stated on a nice little list, you have no-one but yourself to blame when they storm the Bastille or fire on the redcoats.
