Moving the reunion from Ottawa in the first place was a sign of weakness, and it doesn’t matter whether the protest takes place or not in Winnipeg. Why the city has been drawn into this is hard to fathom. Manitoba, let alone Winnipeg, has nothing to do with federal COVID mandates that spawned the siege of Ottawa last February, and the confusion now surrounding the protest is telling.
Unrealistic as their demands were, the protesters still had COVID mandates to rally around. They also caught Ottawa police and city government off-guard last year, and before anyone realized the danger, the protesters were fully entrenched in the capital. It took the extraordinary measure of the Emergencies Act to clear them out.
The other harsh reality for protesters is a police force that has learned its lessons and is now fully prepared to deal with public disturbance. When organizers decided to move their reunion from Ottawa, it wasn’t because police prevented them from organizing a peaceful protest. It was because of the police warning that trucks would not be allowed downtown and any troublemakers would face the full force of the law.
aren't they aware that its against the rules to pass any emegency a bill that seeks to give clearance only selfishly not of due course. Emergency laws need two readings and a an asset. I say no more Privilege
Freeeeedummmmb
Vancouver sun……… LOL
Another narrow minded journalist with an agenda to impose his culture and undermine Canadian values.
Mohammed Adam writes? What does a Muslin know about freedoms in Canada? He wants all women to wear burkas and obey their husbands.
Another bs article from an alt left rag.
Seems out of touch with reality. Truth is if the Feds fuck around again they’ll find out. People in Canada aren’t going to sit back while governments violate our charter. This isn’t a theory it’s fact.
Reality that JT has divided the country like they said and that they were right about what they were protesting for? That the reality.
Thank you trucker from the bottom of my heart ❤️ ❤️🚛🚛🚛❤️❤️
Yet one more reason to be glad I stopped subscribing..
What are you pretending to know about reality ?
Convoy supporters and protesters are the only ones actually living in reality and seeing this treacherous govt for what it really is. 🖕
Do we tolerate 'those people'?
Without the convoy and the show of people not accepting the biomedical security state in the millions we would still be scanning our way through society with unjust and ugly ideological restrictions. That some don't realize this is stunning to say the least.
The more the media insults them, the more I want to attend the next one.
Sponsored by Mckinsey!
I see some similarities with other western newspapers: Qanon, conspiracy theory (I missed extreme right/racist in this article) and no recap on the fact that Covid by end of 2020 equaled influenza and thus vaccine mandates were a sign of capitalism than protecting our health..
An OP ED by an irrelevant “journalist”! Blah blah blah!
It was about far more than just dropping the mandates. It was a protest against Trudeau & his gleeful overreach of our fundamental rights & freedoms guaranteed by the Charter & Bill of Rights. Using the power of the EA to end the protest was massive, vindictive overreach.
Super professional. This propaganda piece gives a gmail account for the author. I wonder if he lives in NY part time as well?
The MATRIX has mouthy crap writers.
2. Come and join us. You are loved. Sad for your hate.
MSM. DEAR MSM. Reality is yours. Who reads your dribble?
This propaganda paid for by Klaus Schwab.
Klaus Schwab runs The Vancouver Sun.
Find something else to write about. Like Trudeau is a member of the WEF Freeland is the WEF treasuer. Conflict of interest. We did not vote for the WEF to control our country. YOU WILL OWN NOTHING AND BE HAPPY
HONKHONK Thank God for the truckers who stood up to the tyrant and defended our Charter Rights and Freedoms. Heroes Reality is, history will not be kind to Adam. TrudeauDictatorship TrudeauMustGo TrudeauNationalDisgrace
Go Away - How about China?
You are completely out of touch with Canadians. Crawl out of your woke little bubble and do some real journalism!!
mohammedAdam says 'has become more irrelevant' -- yet a year later;
It’s disgusting that you don’t believe Ashley Biden.
Interesting when China does it, it’s democracy. And they weren’t even mandated to take the vaccine.
When the truth comes out about the negative effects of the vaccines, the truckers will be hailed as the people who were brave enough to stand up to the pressure applied to take the injection.
Just say you're anti-freedom, and cluelsss, we didn't need a whole article about it
His article is a hot steamy mess. Adam needs to do better. This is another perfect example of the failure of journalism.
Garbage article. Yikes.
Reality catches up with the vaccinated😐
Silly Adam
Mohammed: “…was never popular with most Canadians…” I think you need to step back & realize that it was not a ‘small fringe minority’. It was a movement of the people, by the people. Any disagreement of this FACT is 100% unpatriotic. Wake up you bootlicker hack.
GillPowell4 This is what disinformation looks like. Completely fabricated accusations and nothing but media talking points. This 'journalist' lies numerous times in the article. No facts. Just lefty propaganda. sad fakenews
“Becoming more irrelevant” but still top of mind for this writer and The Vancouver Sun 🤔
HONK HONK!!! The so called fringe minority showed the world how blackface is a tyrant and woke up the world on how to get their freedoms back. FYI if you had any actual journalists you’d know they chose Winnipeg because it’s in the middle of the country and is more fair in costs
Reality is what the Freedumbers fear the most.
Pee Pee and the Conservatives support these domestic terrorists.
Meanwhile all PostMedia newspapers across Canada, like Vancouver Sun and National Post, were making these protesters seem like real 'patriots' and 'freedom fighters' at the time.
