Trudeau calls trucker protest an 'insult to truth'

[pgs]

Oh clueless one, the vaccines have been proven not to work as advertised. People with three shots are getting COvid. Meanwhile people that require surgeries are dying because surgeries are being cancelled and hospital space is being held in case a few covid cases come in. DO try and read some real news.

The trusted sources in the legacy media do not publish those numbers so it didn’t happen .

He says they are choices . He chooses to let government to run roughshod over people’s life’s , like a good subject .

The governments, municipal, provincial and, federal allow you to make choices, That is what democracy is all about.
No level of government that you and the people elected will ever prevent you from making foolish choices.

Whereas you, on the other hand, get on the internet and bitch about it, Bravedork.

Says a internet Mel Gibson bravest Brit ever . Are you British per chance ? You do parse words like one .

So far, Covid's killed almost six million people worldwide in two years. That's World War II levels of death.

So I invite the De Nile Swimmers to condemn all the unusual measures taken during World War II.

You mean like the government steeling all the fishboats from citizens of Japanese Ancestry and moving them to concentration camps in the interior of the province? That the kind of unusual measures you are talking about?

Raymond J. de Souza: CBC bias on full display in coverage of Freedom Convoy, Coastal GasLink protests​

Excerpt from article.

"Generally, there is nothing newsworthy about the CBC: how it covers the news is as predictable as its vanishing ratings. Yet a faithful reader sent along an article, which he thought bears comment. It does.

“Two key organizers of the so-called Freedom Convoy, Tamara Lich and Chris Barber, have been arrested in Ottawa,” reported the CBC on Thursday. “The two have been described as key leaders of the occupation in Ottawa.”

According to the author, the Freedom Convoy is “so-called,” but there is nothing “so-called” about the “occupation.” I don’t demur from calling it an occupation, but the “so-called” business really ought to cut both ways in news reporting.

Why does it matter? Because as the CBC and many other formerly venerable news outlets decried the trucker occupation, they failed to recognize their own role in it. Amongst the multifarious grievances that the truckers brought to Ottawa, they complained that their voices were never heard, their stories never told by the “so-called” mainstream media. They appeared only as objects of disparagement.

A grievance is not justified, much less true, simply for being aired, but over the past three weeks, it was certainly the case that the establishment organs of our national media took a decidedly negative view of the truckers and their supporters. The operating editorial position was to find reasons to discredit them and to highlight discordant notes.

It’s not a novel, nor uniquely Canadian, phenomenon. But the hostility of many in the media is a significant part of what is driving the estrangement that the protesters on the streets of Ottawa feel. When freedom gets modified as “so-called” but occupation does not, there is more than a disagreement at play. Add in other terms presented straight up recently — “sedition,” “treason,” “insurrection” — and you see why so many conclude that the deck is stacked against them.

I wrote earlier in the week that when the Indigenous blockades of February 2020 were rewarded with wholesale concessions by government authorities, many who would come to sympathize with the truckers took note. It turned out that opponents of the Coastal GasLink pipeline in northern British Columbia were also watching the truckers this week.

After three weeks of examining how the media covered people it did not agree with and did not like, someone calculated that it would be a good time to get violent at the pipeline site. Sympathetic to the cause if not the tactics, the CBC and others would see that it did not become too hot of an issue.

In the early hours of Thursday, some 20 assailants wielding axes and metal grinders overturned heavy equipment and destroyed construction trailers. Millions of dollars in destruction was done, and the workers were terrorized, including an attempt to “set a vehicle on fire while workers were inside,” according to the company.

After three weeks of lamentations about blocked roads, blaring air horns and bouncy castles in broad daylight, what would the national broadcaster have to say about broken bulldozers, barricaded workers and barriers set for police, all done under the cover of night? Nothing.

All day Thursday passed without the story making the CBC’s national website. Late Thursday night, a B.C. bureau story went up, but until late Friday morning, the main CBC news site completely ignored the story. When it finally posted a story about the attack, the quotation marks were back: “acts of violence" were seen to have taken place.

You might think that given the remoteness of the area, in contrast to the proximity of the trucker convoy to the organic salad bars where CBC producers lobby government ministers for a bigger grant, it was difficult to get the story. Not so, as the National Post had the story within hours.

The CBC’s website even had a story on climate change in Nunavut up and ready to go before the one about the confrontation over the pipeline. Apparently, the news from the north moves faster when it confirms the political positions of the producers.

Blaming the messenger is often a technique of distraction. But the messengers here are a part of the story, and they too must account for their part. It is the responsibility that come with freedom of the press. Or should that be the “so-called” freedom of the press?

I have a certain amount of respect for the protesters. Misguided they may be, in my opinion, but at least they put their money where their mouths are.

Can't say as much for you.

 

[Tecumsehsbones]

You mean like the government steeling all the fishboats from citizens of Japanese Ancestry and moving them to concentration camps in the interior of the province? That the kind of unusual measures you are talking about?

Yep. And all the other wartime measures.

But y'all just go right ahead on and try to dodge the fact that Canada was effectively an authoritarian socialist country during WWII. It shows how smart you are.

No stupid. That is NOT how democracy works. We allow the politicians and bureaucraps to do certain things to keep the country functioning. Governments have no powers that we do not permit them to have. THey work for us, NOT the other way around.

See there is some real news. You should pay attention when you get your head out of turdOWE's ass.

 

[Twin_Moose]

Still can't do it, can ya? It was a very simple question.

OK, maybe not so simple for you.

I know it is tough for you to understand the obvious answer is yes and it is recorded in the school records in case of health emergency of a school student.

 

[Tecumsehsbones]

Well, only took that back-and-forth to get you to say "Yes."

Is that a horrible violation of your human rights?

Don't bother squealing "That's different!" I'd only ask you to say how, and I think we've worked your brain enough for today.

 

[taxslave]

Yep. And all the other wartime measures.

But y'all just go right ahead on and try to dodge the fact that Canada was effectively an authoritarian socialist country during WWII. It shows how smart you are.

You have a strange way of agreeing with people.

The governments, Federal , Provincial and Municipal serve by the will of the and are elected to manage not rule . We the people give them the power to create law in accordance with our Charter and Constitution . Which laws concerning health mandates were passed in the House of Commons and when was it debated ?

P.S. I Swe nothing in the Charter that says the government allows me , maybe you would like to point that section out .

I've produced several. I guess your inability to recognize that means you're not really a liar.

You're a fantasist.

I am a realist. Disagreeing with the facts or how they are implemented is not the same as denying them.

You're lying, and like all American and Canadian liars, you reach reflexively for the Nazis.

You know what else kills a lot of people? Traffic accidents. But only in a dictatorship would they require training and qualification and a government-issued card to operate a car you paid for with your own money.

NAAAA-ZEEEES!

It isn’t a lie that overdose deaths in British Columbia are up and killed more last year then the deadly Covid . The rise is being attributed to Covid induced isolation by the social workers and medical community.

But they didn’t kill them , just stripped them of their dignity and possessions , and after a year or two they moved them out of tents into tiny houses . It was the beginning of a movement .
