the convoy’s “dangerous and divisive rhetoric,” and said he has spoken to his brother-in-law about returning a $13,000 donation to the movement’s GoFundMe.

Conservative MP Jake Stewart said the convoy is a culmination of a divided and frustrated nation, and that he supports the protests as long as they remain peaceful. Elizabeth Simons, deputy director of the Canadian Anti-Hate Network, said the group has seen “several layers” of hate groups embedded in the Freedom Rally movement, which espouse Islamophobia, anti-Semitism, racism, and incitements of violence. She noted Pat King, a far-right personality associated with the movement,for truckers to “shut down” Ottawa in response to the federal government’s “huge over-reach.

NDP MP and infrastructure critic Taylor Bachrach said in a statement his party is concerned by the “harmful rhetoric and provocations of violence that have been expressed by certain individuals.” The MPs that have come out in support of the convoy make up a small portion of the Conservative Party, but Hughes said the “loudest yellers often get the most attention.”

Matt_HorwoodHT Correction….the “FreeDUMB” convoy!

Matt_HorwoodHT On this day, how many non-Canadians are protesting the Canadian government on Canadian soil? How many non-Canadians helped organize, and fund, and promote the convoy? Every patriotic Canadian must know the answers to those questions. TruckersForCanada

Matt_HorwoodHT Perhaps erinotoole doesn't understand: The implicit credo is that people should not have to do what government officials recommend, shifting from a cooperative entity to individual deal-breakers. Whereas, accepting restrictions is a simple ask to fight this virus.

Matt_HorwoodHT Nobody believes that. PPC is almost third place in Canada.

'Freedom convoy' needs to lose extreme rhetoric, says association head as truckers reach Toronto | CBC NewsAs the convoy of trucks opposed to a federal vaccine mandate makes its way through the Toronto area, the president of one trucking organization says the protest's original message has been hijacked by far-right or extreme rhetoric. Extreme rhetoric is anything the CBCNews disagrees with. Horse has already left that barn. Interesting to see the CBC (& by extension the current government) already in the 3rd stage of grief - Bargaining 1. Denial 2. Anger 3. Bargaining 4. Depression 5. Acceptance

Trudeau concerned trucker convoy converging on Parliament Hill could turn violentPrime Minister Justin Trudeau says he's concerned about the potential for violence during this weekend's planned protest on Parliament Hill by truckers and others joining the crowd. That’s a possibility whenever thousands of people converge. Literally hockey games result in violence. His policy has been abusive to Canadians so I wouldn’t be surprised if it got ugly either. 😬😫 He is so concerned that he 'quarantined' needlessly, insults the whole group and then hides somewhere. He needs to grow some balls and answer for what he has done to Canada. He can bring all the premiers to take some of the heat. The very unintelligent on the way in this TruckersForFreedom2022 , violence most likely going to happen sadly, too many very low iq people and this ConvoyForFreedom2022 shows that in its supporters 💀🤣
