Canadian Truckers Convoy 2022 - The Leaf calls you a Nazi as he gasses you

I finally got the donation site to load long enough to send a donation through. In the time it took from the first page refresh that showed my donation in the little ticker on the right-hand side to the second refresh to see if it was changing at all, my donation had gone from the very top of the "recent donations" list down to the second-to-last entry on the (long) scrolling list.

Even under DDoS conditions (c'mon, Cloudflare, do your fucking job and start mitigating some of this shit instead of just plastering your banner on the "fuck off it's busted" page) this campaign has still raised over $1.5 million in 24 hours.

Get fucked, GFM. See all that vig you're missing out on? I hope it was worth it.

Hard to explain what this is like to Americans, but the Canadian public sector and its employees are extremely smug. Imagine if every nurse, every bus driver, every teacher had the attitude of a Washington DC-based, Democratic senator's aide and you're approaching what it's like to deal with government workers in Canada.

There's this air of entitlement and moral superiority, as if their mission as public servants to righteously guide the retarded masses. These massive bureaucracies have these internal propaganda programs, where the basic gist is "if we let the public know what we're really doing, they would get mad because they're unsophisticated bozos and they don't understand that we know what's best for them".

Of course, the public sector is where competence goes to die and mediocrity seems to thrive...that's pretty normal for any government in any country, but the difference is that Canada's public sector has been massively fattened by decades of Liberal governments trying to simultaneously buy union votes and the loyalty of the permanent bureaucrat class (CRA, CRTC, etc.).

Case in point: in the States, an elementary school teacher makes maybe $60k a year if they're good. It's a good salary for solid, albeit simple, work. Do you know what they get paid here?

These are not difficult jobs. It's not hard to show up for 6 1/2 hours a day with only children evaluating your job performance. It's almost impossible to get fired here because of the union. Put in a couple years and you're in the top 10% of Canadians--elementary school teachers should not be in the top 10% of salary brackets!

Government work used to trade salary for benefits and job security, but now they have all 3 and these jobs are given out according to your connections to the teachers' unions and their "diversity and equity" scoring chart. Research has consistently shown a 10-15% premium in public sector work for the same job in the private sector, and that's just in base salary. A couple years back, there were so many people trying to become teachers they were begging the universities to stop admitting people for B. Ed. programs.

That's before we get to the benefits and the pensions. The Ontario government matches the teacher's pension fund 2:1. Can you name another employer that will double your contributions? They're so overfunded that the Ontario Teacher's Pension Plan was featured on Billions as an important investor for Axe Capital; that's how notoriously overstuffed they are.

Meanwhile, nurses start at $67k and top out at $100k. That's before you include overtime, which the rest of us don't really get unless you're in an entry level position. The average US nurse makes somewhere between 60-70k across their career.

Those are just two tiny examples of public largesse in Canada. The real problem is that they actually make much more than the average person here, which gives them an inflated sense of self-importance. The net result is that we have an incredibly wealthy public servant class and therefore they think they must be smarter than everyone else because why else would they get paid so much for doing so little work?

Don't even get me started on the amount of grift going on with "government consulting" gigs; we waste literal billions on commissioning "studies" from thinktanks set up by assorted friends and family of our politicians. It's a very "you scratch my back and I'll scratch yours" kind of environment. Construction bids are another common grift; you'd think this was New Jersey or Chicago and not Canada...

Again, hard to explain to Americans what it's like, but I'm sure you all know someone who gets paid much more than they're worth and you see how it affects their attitude. Now imagine if 20% of all employed people were like that

its the same here, blacks make up a large portion of government workers, so much so you have tiny little black towns with complete governments but no tax base and they refuse to merge with the nearby tiny black town because that would get rid of middle class government jobs.

even though merging would improve the lives of the regular people.

It's not that hard to explain. "The brain drain" sends our best and brightest to the US. The best of what's left work for thr government, and then whatever is left over make up the staffing of private sector competitors. But this is because the Canadian "system" rewards mediocrity, and the government prefers diversity hires and people who are overleveraged with student debt because they are easier to control.
 
lol apparently the redditors managed to stop the Vancouver convoy briefly earlier:
There are more cops and media there than there are counter-protestors.
watching the council livestream, they really want to use force against the truckers and protestors. In a way I kinda wanna see how much of a shitshow that will be if they do. Cause that'll just make martyrs and people dig in deeper into this movement. Literally looking at short term resolution that'll cause bigger issues in the long run.
They are literally one town meeting away from a declaration of war. I am sitting here speechless. It's amazing that the only one in the meeting that seems to have any sense of proportion and the scale of this is the cop. It's not an Ottawa issue, this is not a national issue. This is now an international issue. And all these retards care about is their own little fiefdoms.

The woman cop was very specific in her language, that they are being "forced" to follow the CCRF and that is a problem they are working on. They want to suspend the charter rights, and it sounds to me like they may actually be expecting to succeed in this. It's both amazing and horrific.

Although hardly prophetic for anyone paying attention, Brian Peckford (the last living drafter of the CCRF) was right on the money with his recent lawsuit. The conspiracy theorist in me would say it is suspiciously on the money.
 
Are those Canadian Dollars? Because those arn't nearly as absurd if we take a good 20% off of them.
They are as absurd as they look. If you adjust for the exchange, you have to do that for the private sector wages, too.
 
Now this is seethe. And bikers don't tend to support government mandates. At-least the badass ones and not some posers.
By “biker” they mean spandex-clad assholes who clog single lane roads going 10 miles an hour and think they’re in the Tour de France, not the Hells Angels. The former definitely support government mandates.
 
The BEST case scenario is the crack down works, this time, but leaves everyone pissed off for the next few decades.
Might happen, and truckers vs Reddit will continue, but more sides will just bring some more heat next time.
Fuck the police and all that, but Sloly has done a done a good job thus far. You can't just capitulate outright, he has sent resources to the places the ought to be sent, and has shut down all attempts by the establishment to escalate, quickly revealing misinformation in the media, and pushing back on demands to bring in outside agencies or escalate. His goons have so far responded appropriately to a raucouse but otherwise peaceful demonstration.

I get the impression that he knows the score. He's hoping everyone gets bored, and beyond that is hoping there is a political solution that doesn't involve him. That is the gist I got from what he was saying when he said he didn't have the resources or authority to do what those deranged cunts were asking of him. He didn't outright SAY he can't do it. He's a political creature after all, but that was very clearly the subtext and those cunts very clearly realized that was what he meant. That was when they started talking about war powers and national defense emergencies and other retarded escalations.
So how long before Sloly's canned for someone more trigger happy or bloodthirsty or he resigns because he knows something is coming that we don't?
But nobody cries over the Turks taking Constantinople
I think there was a few yers ago when Erdogan was making moves.
Japanese using the Chinese as lab rats as recently as the 1940s
China themselves do. A lot.
Now what can make this collective action assume "the" moment is if the federal government (or any provincial government for that matter) attempts a real crackdown or calls out the Canadian military. Not since Oka has that happened, not during all the environmentalist road blockades, not during the pipeline protests, not even during the native railway blockade a few years back. You do that now in this environment and the gloves are off, people won't miss the implications and what started as mere anger to health mandates will morph into collective rage at government hypocrisy and overreach. This is why Trudeau hasn't responded to such calls outside of sniveling drivel, why the military has outright rejected calls to act over this. For all the political vitriol a lot know if you take that step you've truly entered the unknown, and no one can predict where it leads.
Meanwhile, Reddit would lament how the Belfast paramilitaries weren't around in Canada, be they supporters, descendnts, or exiles, if the knew what The Troubles were.

Where are the drone shots of Ottawa?? I'm gonna assume they're not allowed lol
omg that drone video really gives you a scale of the it all, no wonder Trudy's in hiding.

Also, there was notice of a Mexican solidarity convoy posted awhile ago but some Canadian expats had a rally in Playa del Carmen last week.

Freedom has gone global, thank you Canada, and Canada Goose!
 
Well, well, well, if it isn't liberals' old nemesis: the consequences of their own hubris.

Cocksuckers have the video unlisted/shadowbanned.
This is literally just the "am I out of touch?" meme, but pretending to be a serious headline.

"Is this grassroots movement consisting of a huge amount of people from many walks of life based on simple, legitimate grievances? No, they must be extremists."

They're not asking for anything extreme, or even complicated you dumb fucks. It's not extreme to want to walk back things from tyranny and batshit irrational policies to somewhere remotely fucking normal.
