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

[Flan Handler]

There is a process for pulling operating authority. It's there to get rid of sketchy fly-by-night operations.

You need a lot of registrations, permitting, licenses, tax agreements, use taxes, insurance, lease agreements, and bonding to operate a commercial vehicle. I carry a three-ring binder full of paperwork that I have to show to law enforcement on demand to prove everything is kosher.

They aren't cars.

Very true. But working in the repossession biz the bank couldn’t just yank cars the second someone bounced a payment. There are a lot of legal stops along the way, even if some of them are just rubber stamping.

The process could be done pretty quickly in certain circumstances but there were still notices and cure periods to let people fix their problems and make the finance co prove they were legally able to do what they were about to do.

I just assume the permit revocations etc need a certain amount of paper trail, in which case some clerks just put in some OT.

Not sure exactly how it works up there but I assume it's similar. We synergized our regulations a long time ago with the CVSA. But the way it works here is through the motor carrier registry. Agencies can report failures to the registry for lack of fuel tax or violations or whatever. When you roll through a scale or port of entry they punch in your MC/DOT number (that is displayed on your truck) and it will check their system for flags and they shut you down until it's resolved.

I got stopped last fall for it. A computer glitch that flagged my carrier as not having paid it's fuel tax. I had to wrangle for over an hour to get someone at HQ to email the DOT lady a registered copy so that they would let me go. I wasn't going anywhere until that tax was paid.

I would imagine all they would have to do here is for the city of Ottawa to tattle to the transport ministry about aggressive parking violations to flag them. Unpaid fines and other moving violations are more than enough to get carriers bounced.

Makes eminent sense. You tend to learn a lot about English when learning a foreign language. Didn't know what a gerund was in English until I learned gerunds in Korean language school.

Another way to learn about English is to have to explain it. I knew a Dutch guy who said "gone to the ground" instead of "gone to ground" and after I corrected him I realized I couldn't quite explain WHY it was wrong. Took me a lot of looking to find out nestled alongside "a" and "the" there's something called the null article.

Another time was the time I found out about adjective order. This one messed me up hard. For instance: "In my house is an old nice shaving French square mirror." The sentence looks completely nuts.

Spoiler: Try reordering it so it looks right then click here.

"In my house is a nice old square French shaving mirror." right? There's a fixed order to adjectives in English that we almost all obey but almost none of us can enumerate.

1. Quantity or number
2. Quality or opinion
3. Size
4. Age
5. Shape
6. Color
7. Proper adjective (often nationality, other place of origin, or material)
8. Purpose or qualifier

Spoiler: EDIT: Why it messed me up, a ramble

Not long before I learned this fact I'd been reading some D&D (yeah, nerd) 2nd Edition (OLD nerd) stuff and had noted a dragon (the Avatar of Chronepsis, as I recall) was a "Great wyrm shadow dragon dracolich".

It hit me - "Great Wyrm" is his age category (item 4 on the list above) and "shadow dragon" is his species (item 7). ("Dracolich" is the noun. Undead dragon, you either already know or don't care so I won't go into detail.)

When I remembered this, I paused and said out loud "Shadow dragon great wyrm dracolich" and it sounded wrong. It didn't even flow well. I never would have said it if I hadn't deliberately set out to say precisely that. The other order, the one conforming to the standard order of adjectives, was plainly the "right" one.

I was shocked to realize that I saw these fictional constructions of draconic age categories and species - things I most certainly had not seen in school - and I was intuitively putting the two adjectives in a specific order without any conscious intent or even understanding of what I was doing.

But what utterly did my head in was when I also realized the sourcebook writer had done the exact same thing in the same way, possibly just as ignorant to what he was doing as I had been - and so was everyone else who'd strung two adjectives, even jargon and fictional terms, together.

Trudeau getting cucked on the EA really snuffed out the momentum and this is all getting memory holed thanks to the shit with Ukraine. The country has definitely entered a stage of irreversible decline and will collapse, but it's going to be slow and painful unless a general strike or tax revolt or something happens. Personally I'm debating whether to run away to Saskatchewan or maybe a red state and start over with nothing and no money, or stay in Ontario with family and our few acres. This probably sounds extremely gay but I've become completely unable to function in this country; our money is already worthless and mass immigration will continue to fuck everyone in the ass, so what's the point?

Nah I'm with you. It feels pointless to even try when even the most rural bumfuck town has everything unaffordable.

I'm honestly am not too sure exactly on whether I should just consider leaving the country to a red state/province in North America where I start over homeless completely until the tyranny fully ends while also considering there quite a few personal details that I want to share to those as a factor that are listening to put into consideration if I'm feel like immigrating otherwise, or if I should stand my ground so I can inspire people to being taking risks to stop the government from further restricting our freedom to the point where we're not allowed to do things for ourselves in the hands of the tyrants, or I should try to prepare in the meantime to best of my abilities until a greater opportunity comes by, even though there may be more bad events coming in our way in the process. I wanted to post this in case if by any chance the internet goes down or if JT decides he wants to ban websites like this where I can share my unpopular views about the current state of the outside world and the inside such as the internet or get in touch of this place.

I've been wondering about the logistics myself.
Like at bare minimum, to legally leave, you need your shots even at the land borders and you probably need a work visa/job offer, or you would be a visitor and need to cross back into Canada every 6(?) months.
Actual immigration? I see Americans talking about how easy it is but I've always understood it as more difficult than ours. Probably easier if you have money and an in-demand career.
Even with both of those, until you're legally an American, are you not still required to pay Canadian taxes?

I've also been wondering if there'll be a moment where the govt starts making it increasingly more difficult for people to emigrate. Remember what happened to some blue states when there was an exodus to the red states? They started talking about taxing them AFTER they left. Now I don't think they ever did it, but it shows that they do think of this shit, and if there's shitloads of Canadians bailing the country they might look to recoup their losses.
Trudeau and his crew don't care about the brain drain aspect of it of course. They only care about the money and taxpayer base.

Here’s a comparison I can’t believe took me over a month to draw:

Occupy Wall Street

A literal occupation. It’s there in the name. How many of the same people complaining about Ottawa would have said the same about New York City?

It went on for longer, caused more crime and more disruption, and the police were also heavy handed in its dispersal, although I don’t think anyone associated with OWS had their assets frozen.

There were no rapes and beatings last month as far as I could tell, so there’s another clear difference.

We actually had our own equivalent, it was called Occupy Ottawa (lol)

Occupy Ottawa - Wikipedia

They were there a whole month too.
Not to mention that we had native groups blocking railroads for a month in 2020 as well. Any time a leftist says "if this was a leftist group they wouldn't have been treated so well" it's a lie.

yeah i hate those disingenious fucks. Reading reddits and all you see is faggots saying, if they were indjun or school student the police would have cracked their skulls. They fucking do nothing to them (because most of the time they actually are ineffectif and dont rly harras the power that be). nobody gives a fuck if some rez indian that do nothing but drink all day and smoke meth gets pissed off for gibs or if god forbid a student stop studying to go harras some working class for another faggot pet cause. But when true workers, true "essential" workers that actually make this country run, organize and protest in a non violent manner we get literal emergency measure, fucking war measure pulled.

To be honest im kinda thinking the pendulum theory shit is true but theres always 2 pendulum. The right is now more like their glorified communism, where people share and values community. Where workers actually own the means of production (most farmers, truckers, etc are right leaning folks who owns their business, their mean). Their trucks, their rigs, their vans, its literally the means of productions and they actually got it. Meanwhile the communist are mostly city dwellers. Activist, artist, lawyers, etc. Work that produce literally nothing but drains from everyone else around them. They just take and take and when you say no they get angry at you.

Let's not forget the Idle No More protests as well. When they gathered at Parliament, the Indians were pretty sure Stephen Harper would refuse to talk to them. That fizzled out really quickly after reports came out that not only did he meet them, he was pretty agreeable to their requests and demands.

Pretty different compared to a certain Liberal cuck.

Arnprior convoy camp update from Big Bear:

Key here he says is "without trucks", because they believe that the trucks are what prompted the Emergency Act. Which is fair, but regular protests have been going on for 2 years and haven't had the same impact...meh
SO it's not over but it won't be the Honkening again, at least not in Ottawa maybe they'll bring bouncy castles again tho lol

Also I've been hearing the Ottawa police is releasing vehicles, probably as they can't legally hold onto them I imagine:

Towed Vehicles

Can I just say I love how every legislation/law is like "don't be racist/sexist/blahblahblah" but they still bend the rules regardless. Like I'm reminded of when in my city a non-white lady sucker punched a white lady whilst screaming "fuck white people", and the court was like "hmmmmmm....not a hate crime" lol

Canada's on the backburner while the Slavs hit each other with big sticks. Now Trudeau will quietly try to pass legislation that hurts everyone.

 

[Sharklaser]

The Russo-Ukrainian War has been an absolute godsend for Trudeau. One minute his utter bungling of emergency powers and Orwellian bank freezing policies are front page news, the next they are forgotten. And believe me, the media Cathedral are overjoyed at having an excuse to bury the whole thing. If the truckers are smart they'll try to force his hand and not let this get memory-holed so quickly.

Already the narrative from the bugmen here is "see, that's what real problems are, ignore the WEF and bank account freezing in your own country, and pay attention to that Slav-slapfest way over there."

[With My Dick]

So have y'all heard about Bill C-36?

I think the intent here is to act as a kind of restraining order for social media. If you suspect that someone will try to harass you online, you can preemptively plea for protection. Once the order is granted, if that person then violates the order, they would incur harsher penalties than if they just harassed you out of the blue.

Of course, this still sounds bad because it is bad. Philip K. Dick's pre-crime unit was comprised of genetically-engineered empaths, and even they were never able to predict anything with 100% certainty. If passed, this will absolutely be abused by public persons to stymie legitimate criticism of their words and deeds.

The smart people will ignore the bugmen and keep pulling their money. Little that can be done re Russia and Ukraine, except boycotting Russian goods. Sadly, there are few Russian goods out there to boycott.
