I ain't confused. I'm acknowledging my limitations in background and presence in analyzing the question. Sorry, I'm in a serious mood. I'll get back to sarcastic sniping in a bit, I'm sure.

I avoided Trump specifically to stay away from what you so thoughtfully brought. . . mindless my-teamism.

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...

OK, so you're looking to feel superior and make sure everybody knows you feel superior. Have fun with that. Easier'n working the problem, that's fer damn sure.

Depends. Are you trying to dig into their grievances and figure out what the real problem is, or are you looking for ammo for an argument? If the former, there are a number of techniques. A good mediator could help. If the latter, you really don't need ammo for a slagging match. Just hunker...

I do, too, and I'm a foreigner with very, very little business speaking on the subject. But a fact's a fact: y'all got a weak PM. Just like we had with Carter. Fine, arguably noble man. Not a great president.

Except for mentalfloss, I don't think you're gonna get a lot of pushback on that one hereabouts, harry.

Legitimate and very telling point. Maybe a member of the Canadian press should ask him if BLM is more important to him than Canadian truckers. Assuming they can find him.

Good for Moe. Keep it up. And get SK's justice minister (whatever the position is called) or a top-level Mountie out there in person. Telling people they're being heard is nice, saying it in person is 100 times more convincing. It's why politicians hold rallies.

Rising. And all of the proposed legislation is the same, banning "books that make kids feel bad on account of race." Obviously they mean "White kids," but I'm sure you'll deny that, blissfully ignoring the fact that all of the books mentioned by name make the same general claim: that racism...

What happens at Woodstock. . .

Provincial and Federal justice officials should offer to meet with any local group. Senior cops too. They should listen a lot, and their message should be "Protest all you like. Do not break the law. It will be enforced on you just like FN protesters, environmental protesters, or just people...

There's also a lot of "True Dope shoulda," but it is a delicate balance, what the PM should intervene in, and what the PM should leave to lower-level and local authority. I don't recollect Trump, nor the Attorney General, nor any other Federal official (nor any state official) offering to meet...

One of the many fine members of the Wa-Na-Be people.

Apparently not in the 14 states (and counting) that are banning books.

Only a hopeless optimist. Anybody who had their eyes open in 1970 could see it coming clear as a Canadian truck. That it took until the 21st century was surprising.

Don't be so sure. If they can make Elizabeth Warren a Native. . .

Well, the racists'll do everything in their power to stop it evolving. Like banning books.

Judge orders protesters to end blockade of Ambassador Bridge; Ontario premier declares state of emergency, threatens fines, prison time Story Turn the Detroit PD loose on 'em.
