Edmonton and St. Albert's mayors released a joint statement calling on an area Member of Parliament to apologize for attending the "freedom convoy" rally protest opposed to COVID-19 mandates.

Thousands of truckers and others opposing cross-border vaccine mandates and other public health restrictions rolled into Ottawa on Saturday for a rally on Parliament Hill. While police said there were no reported incidents of violence or injuries, some protesters carried signs and flags containing symbols of hate.

...And the MSM smear-job marches along, smartly...

Apparently it is also doubleplusungood for a Member of Parliament to go down to the protest and actually LISTEN to the concerns of their constituents.

They want people to ‘apologize’ for standing up for freedom?

You know, I’m not really all that old (mid GenXer to be exact), but I can still remember a time, when personally going down to a protest or rally to actually TALK to your constituents, and listen to their concerns was considered one of the most important parts of a politician’s JOB that they were ELECTED FOR.

But, what do I know? (rolls eyes)

Such bought and paid for shills. If they understood anything they might understand that those symbols on defaced flags are what they think of the government. I loathe the media.

What exactly are these symbols of hate? An upraised clenched fist perhaps? Middle fingers? Oh wait, that’s BLM and Antifa...

Doubtful there’d be much LGB or FJB since he’s our village idiot, not Canada’s.

I am not a Canadian, but these civil servants need to be reminded that THEY work for us and not the other way around.

A blog friend of mine in Calgary is telling me the lefties up in Canada are saying Trump is behind these protests and that he’s bringing in MAGA supporting drivers to pose as Canadian truckers. I guess COVID isn’t the only virus to cross international boundaries.

Typical Lefties, blame someone else and not themselves.

I know…and running away and refusing to talk to them like Trudeau would have made you the subject of ridicule, possibly even removal from office, and certainly would have meant you wouldn’t get reelected.

But that was then. Now they’re praised for ignoring the voters.

It’s not a peaceful convoy, it is an INSURRECTION.

That is why ‘brave’ Trudeau had to be sheltered by security forces in light of the eminent threat presented by the peaceful convoy.

The truckers are all facing solitary confinement without representation or being charged.

The unvaccinated will likely be shot on sight on Trudeau’s order.

I'm waiting for the truckers to tell Nova Scotia to go to hell.

"You don't want our convoys?"

"OK, We'll keep our trucks out of Nova Scotia rather than risk a misunderstanding."
