It's unfortunately people didn't look into who they were giving money to before they did it, but people were thinking this represented their own message, which, frankly, is still one of selfishness that if governments caved to their demands, would result in many more dying and being hospitalized needlessly, while taking precious hospital space away. So even in the most generous interpretation of their support, it's still bad. Does it make everyone who supported it racist? No. But they supported racists, soo...

He also used pipeline protests as an example of some noble protests when they are no different than this convoy. Worse in fact as the recent ones in BC have shown with the violence and destruction. I'm just saying that his post comes from a far left point of view upset that some people are calling out both sides. Clearly in his view this is all about the far right and anyone supporting the far right is misguided despite the fact that the far left has it's own issues as it's leading us into socialism, taking away rights and freedoms.
I got vaccinated and I don't support the convoy. I'm not left yet I don't support white supremacy, anti-abortion, anti-LGBTQ, etc. Heck I don't support any sort of protest because they are borne of angry people which is always easily misdirected. However I am very concerned about that the far left has gone too far and is attempting to silence any opposition by branding it with identity politics. I ####ing despise being lumped into any unsavory group just because I am not far left leaning but this is what the far left wants because I do not support them or share all their beliefs. It's a big problem right now.
This convoy protest has been an embarrassment for the entire country. Far left, far right, middle, etc. You only have to go to the Beaverton's latest articles on this to see how easy it is to sit back from afar and laugh at what has transpired over the last month in this country.
