What's wrong with supporting this cause? I get it the echo chamber here doesn't support it, but I'd suspect most people are comfortable with their decision. Sure it being public isn't their preference I'd suspect, but if they care enough to donate, they likely care enough to stand up for it.

Why you folks (more broadly than here, I mean the left) are trying to cancel others for their view is beyond me. Sad tbh, let the division intensify I guess

Because how dare you support something that I don't.

Either way, it is concerning that the list was leaked. I'm not surprised that people are actually looking at it to see if 'certain' people donated. Gotta keep canceling.

I guess if you ignore the illegal stuff and the racist tendencies of the organizers.

I sure wouldn't want my name or company connected to this.

Well zero because I don't really support how they're playing it. Better ways to communicate your message without ruining the core of a city and a few key border crossings. They had the country on their side for a while and then poo-poo'd it away when they went occupation mode.

Eh, the racist stuff has nothing to do with the movement from literally everyone involved's perspective, and I'd contend whatever illegal stuff they're doing is way less than a lot of leftist protests of 2020 when cities' cores burned. But I would agree the methods theyre using suck right now. I wouldnt want to support them, but all the power to those that do

This is the funniest, saddest, most cringeworthy thing I've ever heard and I can't stop laughing.

I'm not convinced there are any protesters involved in this chat. I think it's all trolls. And it's fantastic.

You can be part of the problem or part the solution, right now you’re opting for the former.

You can't be serious. As a guy who grew up in rural Alberta and has relatives in rural Saskatchewan, it is absolutely about racism.

I think at this point, it's all Ram Ranchers trolling. The hosts are known RRs. But I bet they scammed a few into that chat initially.

Yep. It's all trolls. Entertaining trolls. But still mostly trolls.
I've switched over to Zello. Higher trucker:troll ratio.

I may not always agree with whichever party is elected into power...but I am a very big fan of being able to elect a party into power.

They want to overthrow our elected government... That seems like a good reason to me.

The data shows that Canadians donated the largest amount of money at US$4.31 million. American donors sent US$3.62 million and British donors gave US$77,000.
Remember when he had that public inquiry that cost us $3.5 million to find out that foreign environmental groups were legally donating $3 million a year into environmental causesAnti-Alberta development because they received grants that included the word "pipeline" in it?

Can't wait see how much we spend on this inquiry.

Well that part is news to me. Like I said, I don't really follow it nor support the wackyness/approach its turned to.

Yes because Im sure this live feed that is going viral definitely hasn't attracted anyone trying to give it a bad name . Its like people who take the nazi flags that show up at every gathering as anything beyond someone being a bad actor. And even then, bad actor or real racist doesn't mean the whole thing is racist if 99.90% of people have zero care or involvement in race about this thing besides it being a way to disparage the movement.

Its the 2020's version of calling someone a communist
