Appreciated. Generally speaking, I thought it was very good.
Those truckers acted, well .... very much like Truckers found anywhere on the globe. They seem good humoured hard working types. There seemed to be a large number of Canadian protesters too.
For the Truckers to win, they should have just stayed in Ottawa for the just the 3 days as agreed with the police beforehand imho. This is not just hindsight, I would have known this from the outset. I would have told them that too, but just looking at their demure, I doubt such words would have been listened too. If they had gone after the agreed 3 days, they would of retained good will and got 95% of what they were looking for. An own goal for the Truckers.
When the USA invaded Iraq and Afghanistan, likewise they should have just taken care of the immediate threats and then left. Sadly they didn't do that. In Ukraine Putin has decided to take over the whole country. If he manages to do that, my advice, would be the same. After taking care of the immediate goals sought... leave. Apart from a few provinces, the Ukraine population are fiercely independent and will fight like dogs to get their country free again. An occupation would not do Russia any good in the longer run.
But we will see how that all goes.
See all that arms cache stuff, the "foreign agents etc", the "far right extremists"... see all that? It's guff imho. Really, and it's obvious. There is a popular movement, and rather that have it "contained" or opposed, it would better to have it defused. Remove the cause of the pain, and the problem just disappears.
Back to the Truckers. There seems to be a problem that is unrelated to the Canada's medical health and it's being ignored. Pretended it's not there. When it comes to real problems, my experience is that it's best to get them out in the open where thay can be seen and revied in the clear light of day. That is why I am here really, there does seem to be an issue on a global scale, Canada included.
Regarding the Protests and and Free Speech issues in the Trucker video, The reporter and host Gillian Findlay forgets history a bit when it comes to a protest movement. She seems like the disapproving schoolmarm the whole time, but maybe she would not have gotten hired if she hadn't.
Sometimes things do need to change. History tells us that. Pardon, a minute or two of utube.
Clearly as you like.
How in the open, (where we can see what it), is that issue for you?
I have more to say as well, but feel free to comment on whats said so far.
