The actual convoy crowd was littered with bad apples.

The people pledging support to the convoy from home are probably of more of the moderate crowd. They had the sense to not abandon their jobs and remain with their families and tend to their responsibilities, which says enough about them.

But the people at home are also taking offense for comments directed at the convoy crowd when they shouldn't. They shouldn't be associating with the convoy to begin with.

What people are essentially saying is they're not who you believe they are. The media isn't planting actors and editing clips.

Publicly pledging allegiance to these people was shortsighted, if you're a sensible person who is tired of mandates. They hooked you with the freedom talk, but they aren't the poster boys/girls you want for that movement. Their intentions are not sincere nor honest here.

The point is... don't throw your support behind something without properly vetting it first.


eg. People at home (who I know) wanted Trudeau to come out and have a discussion with protestors. To discuss how we will get back to normalcy in a set amount of time.

People that traveled thousands of miles to parliament (not all, but many) were looking to coerce Trudeau to sign a document to forfeit his powers to essentially a group of unknowns. Some wanted to mount his head on a hockey stick in their snow banks.

There is a clear distinction in those two objectives.

Just because a group shares your view on one prevailing issue doesn't mean they're who you would associate yourself with in the best of times. In this case, they're the sort of people you'd warn your children to stay away from.

It's just mindblowing how the pandemic has some level headed people bunking up with the likes of these individuals.
