Oh yeah, sorry I didn't mean to sound as if I was justifying them. It is really sad, but that's the way our minds work. If people are lost or dissatisfied with our lot in life, movements like this give them something to lose themselves in and in many cases become a part of.

The issue in their minds at this point shifts from "I haven't accomplished what I wanted to in life" to "it's immigrants, the LGBT community, wokeness etc that are holding me back, me and this group can change that!!!!".

Purpose is fine and good, but I don't even know if they know what specific purposes they're pursuing any more.

If it was specifically vax mandates to enjoy freedoms and mask bylaws, well both of those will be lifted here in short order.

So why the #### are you still protesting?

Just call it socializing with signs, because you're not protesting for anything any more.

Unless this is a getting back at Trudeau thing. In which case, it also makes no sense. He doesn't give a ####, and you're just doing more to disrupt communities here.

Just go chat in a park instead like normal, civilized adults. You know, where you're not in people's ways.

It is an option to you.

Are they lifting the vax mandate federally? I still need it to work on base and as far as I know you still need it to cross the border.

Some local anti-vaxx/convoy supporting restaurant's specials board a few days ago:



Totally normal behaviour.

The only time I wrote on a restaurants chalk board was when I added a special item because a friend was the hostess; Penis - $5

That sign is from a restaurant in Sarnia, I believe. The "Leaky Tank".

Yeah. They “apologized” for the outcome of the message, but have since deleted the “apology” and doubled down. Imbeciles.

These people really live in an alternate reality. Do you think when they were kids they cheered for Cobra Commander, Megatron, and Miles Mayhem?

All of us already guessed, but this swing from the freedom ####ers to Putin is a freedom fighter too just cements the fact that they are all just russian propaganda puppets right now.

The "question everything types" really don't question much at all. They strike me to be the same type of people who don't like the Beatles because they are too popular.

Just remembered something about my conspiracy lunatic friend, in the early days of the internet he was constantly sending me chain emails and links to ridiculously fake content. Snopes was incredibly useful, I would send him the link and he would feel silly, eventually he stopped sending nonsense. Until the pandemic hit.

Same type of people, idiots.

Another complete moron, another bail denied. This is Pat King's right hand man, who could always be heard in videos yelling "let's gooooo!" like a no-good buffoon, and I'm convinced that was the extent of his vocabulary.

I see that they consulted some top-end advertising and media firms and concluded that as far as rallying cries and battle slogans go they determined that "Honk Honk" is about as good as it gets.

Forever enshrined in the pantheon of great marketing slogans

“Just do it.”
“Think different.”
“FREEDOM! HONK HONK!”

"Honk Honk" isn't even an acceptable slogan for a low-rent strip club much less a 'Freedom Movement.'
