Some trucker convoy organizers have history of white nationalism, racism
Global News ^ | January 29, 2022 | Rachel Gilmore

As the first vehicles from the trucker convoy started appearing on Ottawa streets, some Twitter users shared a particular photo: a pickup truck with a confederate flag flying from the bed.

Now, as the convoy descends on Ottawa with the stated aim of opposing all COVID-19 mandates, anti-hate experts allege those with white nationalist and Islamophobic views don’t just represent the fringes of the movement but are among the organizers of the convoy.

“We’re saying that this is a far-right convoy because — from day one — the organizers themselves are part of the far-right movement,” said Evan Balgord, executive director of the Canadian Anti-Hate Network.

“...anti-hate experts...”

Can anybody explain to me what an “anti-hate expert” is? How does a person obtain that title? Are universities offer a degree in that now, or can you take courses at the local community college?

Wise as serpents, gentle as doves.

We need to stop rolling over for them and letting them walk all over us.

It can be done without resorting to their tactics, but standing up for what is right and for truth to be known is essential.

The right is under no obligation to capitulate to the left’s narrative to prove what “nice” guys we are. We have caved far too often and far too long.

All the Left has is screaming racism. They believe they will successful lead a commie revolution by the cry of racism.

What about the First Nations dudes that I saw in the live-feed this morning? Are they white nationalists?

Or all the Sikhs in Canadian trucking. Do they have “irrational” fear of Islam?

But Slim Pickens (the foreman of that group in Blazing Saddles) went "toe-to-toe" with the Russkies, which Biden seems to admire.

Evan Balgord is just an extreme left-wing dirtbag associated with the Munk School of Global Affairs, a left-wing extremist organization.

Demo liberal leftist losing the narrative and must play the white supremacist/race card. This mention by the MSM was inevitable. I surprised they didn’t pull out the mistreated LGBTTGDS card.

Shout out to “Republican” Nikki Haley for her part in demonizing the Confederate flag. Never forget.

Almost certainly untrue. And if it is true, I don’t care. They can’t possibly be as racist as BLM.

Of course they do. /s

That vague accusation never goes out of style with the Left nor the government.

Exactly what is wrong with being for your nation of birth?

To the left, anything to which you provide allegiance outside of Leftism is "evil".

You must give undivided allegiance to the party, and only to the party!
