Reminds me of a movie with Aziz Ansari, they are all stuck in traffic no where to go, the person immediately behind honking at him like that’s gonna move traffic. Ansari sticks his middle finger in his rear view mirror, tells the guy honking, the middle finger is for the car behind him!
And yet 99% of the Canadian Truckers were pissed at those convoys. And by the way many, many Canadians are using universal precautions right now due to Covid, flu, RSV and other respiratory viruses that are hitting us right now.
I thought the "I guess we'll conquer Canada" fad went out the window post-War of 1814, for very good reasons. Absolutely batty stuff, but really such rhetoric should be a 1 way ticket to exile from rhetoric contests.
I don't know if my elderly mother with dementia is going to still have Medicare or get her social security next month, or if we're going to be homeless, but hey, at least I'm not being terrorized by my government.
Recalling the last two times that the Americans were certain that we would greet them as liberators: 1775 and 1812-14. Both attempts to "liberate" Canada were completely unsuccessful.
From the tone of the occasional Conservative voter I get when doing voter outreach for the NDP, I think they're pretty satisfied that they can liberate themselves from the oppression of the Liberal govt by voting (and yelling in allcaps, lol)
(I hope they fail but that's a different question)
Thinking of how hard literally every Canadian was laughing at those truckers.
I haven't felt this much Canadian pride since Bret Hart was the world champ. The long search for a Canadian national identity was always "lol america sux eat a bag of dicks dumb shits"
Oh how people forget WHO put those particular 'restrictions' in place... Oddly, they also forget that most of the trade wasn't restricted AT ALL...
(consumption was down, but that's an ENTIRELY different set of reasons and facts...)
Hey Canadians, have you considered doing a full-fledged brown scare? Why aren't your politicians sweatily compiling enemies lists filled with neonazis? Why aren't you doing more to eradicate the Canadian conservative movement by presenting them as a threat to your way of life?
“our beef is not with the canadian people” is somewhat reminiscent of a *brilliant* statement by George W Bush: “we don’t have a beef with muslims, we want to be friends with muslims… we fighting evil people”
They're fighting our "hostile govt" to liberate us. LOL.I hope the Americans are braced for economic impact. March isn't going to be good for them. I've got no clue what JT's team's got planned for retaliation against trump's 25% tariffs. Kinda like it this way. Them eggs prices tho. LOL.
The liberal gov terrorizing the people. What about the maga gov terrorizing the people? Are they going to do this to the UK and any country that has a ''liberal'' gov. What right do they have to interfere with other democracies?
FU
The REAL truckers were busy working, keeping supply lines moving in the pandemic.
Those wannabes, who are NOT real Cndns, holding Ottawa hostage & blocking our borders, were having a tantrum because PM Trudeau had just beat their Con party for the 3rd time.
Your kind will never be welcome in 🇨🇦!
they're really doing the We Will Be Liberators shit against our best friends this would be so pathetic if it wasn't going to work on like 50M Americans at minimum
I was over in Maui last week and played golf with two strangers from Winnipeg. My intro was “you guys ready to be the 51st state?” Got a big F no. Good guys, enjoyed their company for the afternoon.
It depends on what the war was about. In Canada, as I understand it, popular opinion is ‹The USA tried to conquer Canada and failed›, while in the USA popular opinion is ‹The UK tried to retake the USA and failed›. The official casus belli was conceded before the war began. Victory all around!
Also behind a lot of the TERF stuff in the UK (not that the UK doesn't have a glut of their own terrible people but all the "nationalists" do intensive amounts of global coordinating).
yeah, although IMO that ones more of a two way street where american fundies give cash and resources to a largely british vanguard who push shit to american nepobaby journos and right wingers
I was talking to someone the other day about all these threats against Canada and he kept calling it a Canadian political issue. Finally I asked him how exactly it was a Canadian issue and he said Trudeau was too liberal.
Didn't realize this election was between Trudeau and abolishing Canada.
This guy is a dual citizen! He knows but somehow in his lizard brain "trudeau was liberal", a normal political complaint, is the flipside of "Canada should belong to the US" and how do you even address that?
I'm not sure where he lived before he moved here but he's always talked about how liberal Canada was so I think he might've been a red dot in Ontario or something.
The Canadian truckers were much more popular among the American right that they ever were in Canada, which I assume they know (but with this group, can’t be sure)
it's so upsetting that the democrats and mainstream press aren't blasting out counter-messaging to all of this. they're not taking it seriously at all. these people are treasonous scum and it's a horrific failure of world-historic proportions that our elites are too stupid to point this out
Mainstream press are owned by the oligarchs sitting in the front row of the inauguration. Everything that's happening explicitly benefits them. To expect their empires to counter-message and keep their jobs just isn't realistic.
sure okay, but we're talking about violating the sovereignty of our closest ally. it should be really easy and low-cost for any institution to point out that that is evil, criminal, and insane. like, there are limits.
Well, the theme of this administration, with numerous court losses already, has been, "Make me."
The enforcement mechanism is under the control of executive acolytes. The media is suppressed and enforcement is non-existent. They broke the system from every angle.
jfc, what a brain pickled weirdo…we don't have tyranny here! we have public education and health care, and not thousands of people dying from gun violence every year!
the freeDUMB convoy idiots are an op, just like the J6 arseholes
enjoy your oligarchs and downfall into dystopia buddy
I don't know what's worse: him thinking the convoy was a well liked group or that he said that "tens of millions" supported it like that's not a minority
“Remember that time Germany took over the Sudetenland and Austria with goofy plebiscites? We don’t even need to do that! You can just acquiesce to our will and forget about your own domestic elections coming up”
This is almost exactly how many Russian officials talked about Ukraine, claiming their problem was with a supposedly oppressive Ukrainian government rather than the people.

Liberate Canadians from longer lifespans, universal healthcare, a less violent society, and higher educational standards!
His family were right.
The opposition could bring them down at any moment, but they are dictators I tell you, dictators!
Who elected, re-elected, and re-elected them again anyway?!
(I hope they fail but that's a different question)

Tweeting is life, from his point of view.

NO
And I speak for 98% of the people in the industry I know
A pickup truck, mini van, or RV does not make you a trucker
OIF 2: Bloody Snow - It's aboot to go down.
and I think the Canadian people have beef with him
Same tactics as with the EU.
The messaging is not aimed at Canadians, but the US public to ignite enthusiasm there to annex Canada.
Jfc

Now go eat your diseased chicken.
Also the Right: When we shit on Canada, we are actually shitting on very specific Canadians.
And the part of the MSM that has even the slightest lean to the left has been shrinking and shrinking. With nothing to replace it.

Probably the only thing I miss about Twitter.
That will fix him
