Looking at the ties of the organizers, I’m kind of surprised that so many people are uncritically sharing the ‘freedom convoy’ content.

    They should demand fair wages, benefits, reasonable working hours and conditions since they did drive all that way after all.

      They’re demonstrating to the government against things the government is doing.

      I’m pretty pissed off as a worker about the condition of needing to present my papers like it’s Nazi Germany, and that’s entirely der Fuhrer Justin Trudeau’s edict. He can’t dictate much of that other stuff, but he did that. Incidentally, that resulted in a lot of natives losing their jobs because some justifiably aren’t that trusting of the federal government forcing them under threat to endure some medical procedure. Trudeau is good at firing natives who don’t do what he says.

      And reality check for a minute: The prices of basic necessities are going up every year by a hell of a lot, and it’s because of his government’s irresponsible policies. You want fair wages? Well even if you get them, if this buffoon gets his way it’ll only be for a year or two because you’re not going to get a 10% raise every year forever. On the upside for the folks actually paying him and his family under the table, the stock market will happily continue to rise thanks to the same policies.

      The dummy doubles the national debt right before interest rates start to reset (Taxes will rise and services will collapse), and there’s still native reserves without clean drinking water. That’s embarrassing. Worth marching on Ottawa over.
