Most of downtown and the beltline shut down because of marches. Traffic is nuts.

Bring a truck and a flag and they'll wave you right on through.

I'd take a super soaker down there. The kind with the backpack for reserve.

Load 'er with ice water. Give these people the stray cat treatment they deserve.

I've come to the conclusion that their lives are so sad and miserable, they just want to ruin everyone else's too.

^ That's pretty standard human behaviour. Misery loves company.

The trick to pay them no mind. Residents and workers need to just treat them like they don't exist.

If we could do that, imagine how quickly they'd get bored with their pointless rallying. They need something/someone to push against, which is the whole motivation and reward for this from the start.

We tried that...for a year. It didn't work.

I've been living life 100% normally for weeks now.

The only exception was international travel where I needed to mask up in airports and planes and grab a negative covid test. Big whoop.

These dummies at the Freedom Rally are literally too stupid to insult.

this shouldn't make me smile as much as it does...

in victoria, police have setup checkpoints to keep all vehicles away from the bc legislature. only local traffic is allowed past - all others can pass, but only on foot.
one 'smart guy' decided to bypass a checkpoint and go thru a field... which he then got stuck in.


i enjoyed this part of the story...

After attending the scene, police discovered that the vehicle had previously been given a level 1 Notice and Order for a defect that required immediate attention.
The vehicle plates were seized and the vehicle towed to impound. The driver was issued $600 in fines for the defect.

Oh surprise. The American convoy crew are just as stupid as the Canadian one. Maybe they can reference their Charter Rights when they eventually end up in front of a judge.
