"It's been extremely disruptive to local residents," he said, adding that there have been videos of demonstrators handcuffing apartment buildings so residents can't come out and people have been caught with weapons.”Lol…over truckers protests. How pathetic.
Just wait till the truckers say FU and quit delivering all together for a couple weeks as a show of solidarity. Then you'll really see "disruptive to local residents"."It's been extremely disruptive to local residents," he said, adding that there have been videos of demonstrators handcuffing apartment buildings so residents can't come out and people have been caught with weapons.”
If someone was directly impeding your everyday life and your job/livelihood, you’d ask the same thing of our government lol

Don’t bite your nose to spite your face means nothing to these dumbassesJust wait till the truckers say FU and quit delivering all together for a couple weeks as a show of solidarity. Then you'll really see "disruptive to local residents".
Just for the record, you agree with this action?"It's been extremely disruptive to local residents," he said, adding that there have been videos of demonstrators handcuffing apartment buildings so residents can't come out and people have been caught with weapons.”

If they’re infringing upon the daily lives/livelihoods of others, yes absolutely.Just for the record, you agree with this action?

Are these people running over the truckers to get somewhere? No, they called the authorities to handle it (gasp)So, contrast the trucks with the George Floyd protests using the above logic.
CHOP would be a good place to start.
Oh we know where this is going……So, contrast the trucks with the George Floyd protests using the above logic.

So next time an Occupy Wall Street, CHOP zone protest, or other multi-day, highly disruptive protest is enacted, you agree that the Republican president should be sending the national guard to disperse them. I don't think your leftist brethren on this board had the same opinion on Trump using the national guard in Portland or in regards to the protests in Minnesota, but I'll give you the benefit of the doubt as you may have been on one of your hiatuses at that time.If they’re infringing upon the daily lives/livelihoods of others, yes absolutely.

There is a difference. The country needs truck drivers or it shuts down. The country isn't harmed when the protest is just a bunch of kids sleeping in tents making tik tok videos.Here's my question.
I didn't agree with the tactics of Occupy Wall Street. What's different about the Canadian truckers protest now and why shouldn't I have the same stance here?
The tactics seem very much the same. Is it simply the cause and the ends justify the means; or, is there something fundamentally different in today's tactics?
Not sure that answered my question. In fact I think your statement would further justify Trudeau's escalated response.There is a difference. The country needs truck drivers or it shuts down. The country isn't harmed when the protest is just a bunch of kids sleeping in tents making tik tok videos.
I’d say I’m with you on both as well.Here's my question.

Of course the cause, and the political affiliation of said cause, justifies the difference in response. Its all part of the lib motto: #thatsdifferentNot sure that answered my question. In fact I think your statement would further justify Trudeau's escalated response.
I mean, sitting in at all white food counters seems okay in retrospect. Again a similar tactic. Is it just the cause that justifies the tactics?
I agree. There's a middle ground to be reached here but the government is now entrenched and have been painted into a corner. Use force on non-violent protestors who are in fact breaking the law? Or, capitulate and lose face? There's not much room for compromise now. There was a few weeks ago.I’d say I’m with you on both as well.
That said, I also don’t support going George Orwell on either.
Which they have nobody to blame but themselves for.I agree. There's a middle ground to be reached here but the government is now entrenched and have been painted into a corner.

This. All Trudeau had to do was send a delegate to meet with them. At least have a parley. Instead, he attacked them mercilessly with the full throat of the liberal media. He literally called them Nazis, then he goes and signs an emergency order that looks amazingly like the Enabling Act of 1933.This is a difficult one for me. I can see both sides and understand their logic. What I don't sympathize with is the government's unwillingness to moderate their stances. It has become about power and not what's right for the citizenry. In that regard, I lean towards the truckers.
No single profession could go away over night and be more disruptive. Teachers all strike, and kids lose their daycare, but life goes on. Doctors and nurses strike, then those who are sick are in trouble but for most, life will persist. If truckers go away, we return to localized economies that we're not designed for and big cities will see looting and rioting due to a lack of goods.As stated before- truckers quit we are through as we know it. Bureaucrats quit we are better overnight by 100 fold.
Here's my question.

Authoritarians do not like having their actions questioned and will lash out to punish anyone that does. Glad the leftists have finally outed themselves for what they truly are.
Former Commanders Fault Trump’s Use of Troops Against Protesters (Published 2020)
After military helicopters carried out a “show of force” mission to discourage protesters, retired senior military leaders condemned their successors for deploying such tactics.www.nytimes.com
Oh…that’s different…my bad…When you resort to using whataboutism you have lost the debate.
