Things only look bleak if you currently live in Canada. I certainly don't envy any Canadians right now, and if I had any Canadian friends I'd be offering them refuge here in the States.This thread helps me stay positive, but honestly, things are looking bleak right now.
I knew that I couldn't trust the government, but I guess I didn't seriously consider the possibility of them doing something of this scale. This might be retarded, but I'm in my 20s and have only voted in 2 elections. I haven't seen anything close to this scale of mobilization this close to home. It doesn't help that Russia decided to pull the trigger on Ukraine, so that's another depressing moment.
I feel like I've had the rug pulled out from under me. The streets I used to walk are either empty, closed or full of police asking me what I'm doing. It's suffocating. At least when the lockdowns first happened I had hope it would only be two weeks, now I'm not sure if things will ever be the same again.
Sorry for the blackpill, everyone, but these are my honest thoughts. I can't really voice these thoughts or confide in anyone IRL, lest I get called a bigot.
For the rest of us? The fun is just getting started. This is the beginning of something really big. Hopefully the beginning of the end, but we'll have to see.
No matter what anyone says, this is not Jan 6. All the unsanctioned boomer tour of the Capitol accomplished is giving Democrats something to whine about (so... a day ending in y) and some boomers rotting in prison. One could say it was truly useless, and even detrimental to their cause. The Freedom Convoy and Trudeau's response, on the other hand, has already had major consequences, consequences that are nowhere near done presenting themselves yet. It's hard to say what lays at the end of the tunnel, but at this point we can definitively say that it won't be a return to "normal".
