In reply to the discussion: Truck convoy: City 'outnumbered,' says mayor; Protesters given Monday deadline to leave [View all]cadoman
(1,617 posts)17. these aren't protests, they are a RACIST OCCUPATION
They are literally occupying the city and have refused to leave until their demands of white patriarchy are met, when in fact the Canadian government isn't even involved (they should be protesting at the province level).
This is fucking MOB FASCISM against the duly elected Canadian government. We need the military involved stat or there could be hundreds or quite literally thousands of BIPOC and Jewish Canadians assaulted or dead from this foreign occupation.

As for communicable diseases, well they already likely have it and are slowly dying because they refused to mask or social distance, let alone vaccinate! The only question is how many vaccinated will now be infected due to their hateful irresponsibility.

yes, calling for semis to be towed is the exact same as speeding thru a crowd of protesters.

The whole thing is a Russian strategic op. The truck drivers are just "useful idiots"

This group isn't a bunch of progressives, they are nationalists and chauvinists.

Sounds like the class action suit is the best way to let this go--along with boycotts etc.

A proper siege would do the trick indeed. No food, water, or fuel. Only bad smells, bright lights.
