There will be many history books written on what has happened and is about to happen. I hope I get to read them, maybe I will even write one. This will be an impossible subject to wade through due to the very charged reality of what has gone down. Preconceived perceptions are broken. I respect Bill Maher's opinion: [VIDEO] I respect Jimmy Dore's opinion: [LINK] One of the best objective timelines I have read on this subject to date: [LINK]

This is the latest: [LINK] Joe Rogan: "Handsome fellow, kind sensitive guy" is pretty accurate. Something happened in 2019 where he went off the rails and is now being called a dictator and it is reasonable. Maybe hitler is too far, but it's Trudeau's own words that he was planning to not allow antivaxxers to be part of society. Hence Bill Maher's video. Here's is 1 of Russel Brand's videos: [LINK] Bill Maher: [VIDEO] The gist of what happened. In the USA all but 7 states lifted all mandates. UK and much of europe had dates set to end the mandates or ended them already. Trudeau on the otherhand in January 2022 increased restrictions putting thousands of people out of a job. Mostly bipoc because race plays a significant role in the remaining antivaxxer communities. Trudeau knew race played a significant role and before the convoy showed up in ottawa, he started calling them white supremacists and racists. Meanwhile the mostly punjabi truckers thought it was pretty hilarious to be called white supremacists with unacceptable views. [LINK] Trudeau wouldn't even send a staffer to speak with this legitimate protest. Not once would he meet with them. Instead he initiated a never before used national emergency, whose requirements is that ANY other law must be used before this one. That declaring national emergency cannot be used to crush a protest. That's exactly what they did. Obviously gone much further than when the canadian police arrested indigeonous over protesting pipelines. O

>You grossly exaggerate throughout your post. Not exaggerated though is it: [LINK] Lantsman used Trudeau's words against him. "Conservative Party members can stand with people who wave swastikas. They can stand with people who wave the Confederate flag," he said This is Trudeau himself saying it, I am not exaggerating anything at all. My comment being 'canadian media' who absolutely covered it much more. Canadian media absolutely covered it exactly how I said. [LINK] There was a grand total of 1 nazi flag and nobody ever positively connected it to the protest. The guardian may have tracked it down and they asserted that the flag was alleging that Trudeau is the nazi. Not that the flag holder themselves were nazis. I dont know if that is true or not. which hey, bill maher commented on Trudeau. [VIDEO] To note, bill maher made this comment BEFORE he crushed the protest using force. >You are behaving exactly in the way that has discredited the protests. On the contrary. The protests never got discredited. They got smeared by the media. [LINK] One Indo-Canadian trucker, Kamal Pannu from Montreal, I spoke to, was bemused that the protestors were being bracketed as white supremacists when so many of them including he himself are ethnic minorities and people of colour. > Quit shooting yourself in the foot like a damn fool! Report honestly, and you’ll find that people will grant you more credibility. Here's an interesting reality. [LINK] Antivaxxers tend to be racial minorities. Why
