The ‘Freedom Convoy’ Is Nothing But A Vehicle For The Far Right - Canadian Anti-Hate Network

They say it is about truckers, and have raised over $5.5 million dollars on GoFundMe. But if you look at its organizers and promoters, you’ll find Islamophobia, antisemitism, racism, and incitements to violence.

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

    You are describing corporate behaviour that is incentivized for shareholder value, and goes largely unpunished by weak sauce neoliberal “small government” jurisdictions the world over.

    I would rather wait for another vaccine that seems more legit from a trustworthy organisation

    Canada has 4 approved vaccines with a few more under consideration or in clinical trials. Which one would you consider?

      All 4 are based on the same RNA technology and were pushed through without doing the testing any other vaccine would require due to the emergency at hand. Astazeneca and Johnson&Johnson use viruses as vectors to inject the RNA, and Moderna and Pfizer use lipids to inject the RNA.

      My buddy is waiting specifically for the Novovax vaccine based on a kind of “protein subunit” technology that has been used for decades in other routine vaccinations, and it’s going through much more rigorous standard testing. I don’t know if he’s right or not, but it seems like reasonable logic.
