The RWNJs are very upset with Canada clearing these idiots and towing these trucks
Link to tweet
In a largely peaceful operation on Saturday, Canadian officials took advantage of an emergency powers law to arrest protesters and tow vehicles from the streets of Ottawa.
Rae spokes out about the protesters in a tweet on Sunday.
"A truck is not a speech," he wrote. "A horn is not a voice. An occupation is not a protest. A blockade is not freedom, it blocks the liberty of all. A demand to overthrow a government is not a dialogue. The expression of hatred is not a difference of opinion. A lie is not the truth."
Rae's tweet was shared thousands of times within minutes
