Convoy

So I'm hearing

gee guys after 36 pages of appearing to have gone down the rabbit hole I was really just trolling ya

mostly

and so now all them convoy protesters are now douchebags and the whole thing was the CBC's fault

I am not sure the news has changed that much, but people see different truths way more.  I saw the rally at the start and it looked exactly like a MAGA march to me, but I am a liberal so that kind of scene triggers me.  Almost all white rednecks with lots of fuck Trudeau flags, but the main message was to stop all mandates and that had a pretty wide and willing audience of my fellow liberals that have been complaining about all the restrictions, some of them anti-vax.  For those people they felt like this was a growing movement of fed up Canadians of all stripes and there is some truth to that.  Others like myself saw the presence of the alt-right that propelled Trump into office and didn't want any part of it and there is truth in that as well.  I think CBC did a decent job personally, but they probably should have done more to put a face to the supporters that weren't alt-right Christians supported by US dollars.  Once Trudeau enacted the emergencies act the convoy people saw it as unprecedented tyranny because they never supported a protest before and always thought those hippies deserved to be pepper sprayed and go to jail and vice versa, while people like me saw a protest that got away with way more than any protest I had seen before by allowing them to set up in downtown Ottawa in the first place.  Again I think CBC dropped the ball because they didn't really delve into the need for the act that much even though so many on the right were outraged.  

Same facts, different views.   I am not sure the media can do much about that.  This shit has a life of it's own on social media and that is were the facts get spun.  My brother posted a tweet this morning from an EU politician calling Trudeau a tyrant saying "You won't see this on CBC!"  To my brother this is proof the world think Trudeau is a tyrant, to me, it was a far right asshole from the EU and why would CBC waste any air time on him.

did you ^^ look at any other news feeds like global or CTV or the guardian they were all saying pretty much the same thing

quoting yourself is a weird flex.

I wondered how quickly that would become a meme.  It was inevitable really.

Assuming that was a miss-post, considering it was within a minute of the original, and not a flex.

an alternative to the mainstream news,  basicly buddy is saying the average convoy protester is too stupid to understand many basic concepts of civic law

HAHA.  Read my words!  Ya, I don't know how that happens.  It is part of the NSMB charm.
