No! No! That's not what's supposed to happen. The judge found him totally innocent and that the government took away his civil rights and that the Freedom Patriots were right. Now they're trying to use activist judge to put us all under house arrest and make us wear masks until we get our 5G sterile magnetic monkey DNA mutating tracking chip non-vaccine!

You may want to put a sarcasm tag on there. People too dumb to understand that you're joking may take what you've written at face value.

They're out there. Some of the most normal-sounding people have gone very anti-medicine, anti-society through this experience.

It's more fun to laugh at the idiots who take it seriously.

So, you guys are aware that the majority of truckers in that convoy only had problems with their working conditions and pay, right?

From my understanding only about 5% of them were actually borderline-retarded if not completely retarded, and the rest were protesting working conditions, which were absolutely fucking horrific, during covid and they've barely improved since. (the serious morons that came out to "protest" used the truckers convoy to push their 'freedom' bullshit)

There are SERIOUS problems with our trucking and rail industries which overwork, underpay and intentionally remove required safety oversights and training from their workers.

Then they shouldn't have laid siege to the downtown of our capital, harassed the residents, blocked a trade route, and included people with a Nazi flag.

Don't have problems with 99% of truckers in Canada, just the ones who tried to take away my freedoms and overturn a recently elected government to install their own (whats the word for that again?)
