I don't think the majority of protesters are even protesters. I think, in Ottawa anyway, many are just bored people looking for something to do in the evenings. :) There's some truth to that. Ottawa is a sleepy government town. When Ottawa got an NHL hockey team, fans at the games were...

I don't think the majority of these protesters are terrorists...more like misguided maroons. If it comes to tear gas and tazer guns to disperse them from the bridges, the imagery won't play very well in the media I guarantee you that.

My point of view is limited and probably misses many aspects of the situation. I ain't a trucker, and I ain't Canadian. We're Canadian and just as confused as you are! lol!

My take? The left manipulates using language. The right manipulates using machinery. And these two are about to collide, folks!

Fair points, Serryah, The truckers may only be that 10%, but the support and sentiment for them is far more reaching imo. Anyhoo, looks like Doug Ford has mowed Trudeau's lawn and fired the first real shots at these truckers.

I'm really not sure what to think. a) Army, fines and jail time? Or/ b) A statesman-like address from our PM attempting to reunite Canadians. I've got lefty friends and righty friends all giving me their viewpoints. I believe 'A' could get ugly and violent. But 'B' may be construed as a...

This is very true. It's not how much you make, it's how much you spend. But I imagine many Canadians have taken out Personal Lines of Credit on their homes just to keep up with the rising costs of day-to-day living. I think many people (seniors included) are 'house rich' but 'cash poor'.

The food court at my local Mall asks for vaccine proof. But I've never frequented the establishment, even before the pandemic. The vaccine passport sits in the glovebox of my car, and I swear I've never had to use it in any of my travels.

Taxme wrote- "I cannot go into any place of business unless I have a vaccine passport." Strange. I've had my vaccine passport for months and I'm out and about all day. I've never needed to use it once. Histrionics much?

Adverts... Is it just me or was that Juicy Fruit Gum jingle just a tad provocative? "Take a sniff, pull it out...the taste is gonna move you when you pop it in your mouth."

If I were Trudeau's speechwriter, it would go something like this- Hard-working truckers of Canada and their equally salt-of-the-earth supporters...we're all in this together. This pandemic has tested our resolve, tried our collective patience and forced adversity upon all of us. But now is...

I think at it's core this protest is becoming about top down control and the evaporation of the middle class. Can you say 'Oligarchy'?

I guess my point is hard workers back in the day could own a house...raise a family...and have a reasonable lifestyle. You're a hard worker today? You're probably stuck in a Mc Job or pouring coffee at Starbucks for minimum wage.

My dear old Dad used to use the expression... "Son? He knew the price of everything, the value of nothing." With the advent of Free Trade and the opening up of Global Markets in the mid 90's, it became all about costs and savings. The 'value component' that was fuelling the livlihoods of the...

But wait! I have another theory! Revenge of the Nerds- The bullied outcast Nerds of society all grew up and went to Silicon Valley and entered Politics. Hence, they control most of the social media information...and politically enact laws against the rest of us imperfect people. Society is...

I forgot about Come By Chance NFLD as well.

Really? Never heard of that town. lol!

Fractured caucus...sounds painful. Add on beavertails and Dildo Newfoundland and the Americans must think we're the kinkiest Nation on earth.

Q; Why are most Italians named Tony? A: Because when they got off the boat it said TO NY on their luggage.
