Geoff Russ: The 'irrational orgy of hysteria' surrounding the trucker convoy

The protests in Ottawa have been a gift to Canada’s Laurentian elite, who have framed it as if Adolf Hitler and Jefferson Davis were assaulting Parliament Hill. The trucker convoy was obviously no Panzer division, but goose-stepping rednecks weren’t needed for a narrative of something similar to be pre-packaged before the protesters even arrived in Ottawa.

Gee, leave it to the Toronto rag that's owned by Conrad Black to actually post a small bit of common sense from time to time... :P

You can still see the slant of the author:

"The convoy is a ridiculous clown caravan, but it’s coverage has been dishonest and hysterical in equal measure. Keeping Ottawa residents up all night with blaring truck horns and a few awful people throwing rocks at an ambulance were the most harmful things that happened last weekend, despite the apocalyptic discourse."

Except that clown caravan won't be so funny if they decide to shut it all down. And they can point directly at the politicians.
I have a feeling the author if the article at some level is getting a peek of what is in store if things really get dug in.

If you screw with the truckers and YOU STARVE TO DEATH!!!!

These mayors and MPs wanting to fine the Truckers are in for a reality check.

Thanks for the video!

I liked the part about the folks in Ottawa opening their homes and feeding the truckers.

This guy can F.O.A.D. In the lame attempt to appear "unbiased" he trashes hundreds of thousands of average Canadians, working people and their reasonable demands.

Goliath government telling little guy David, “Oooow! You didn’t have to do thaaat!”

[I want the USA back]

The statists hate it when the folks refuse to bow down and obey. I’m betting the fbi has already started to track their movements and cell phone signals.

Just copying the demonization of the J6 partiers.

Good one!

Some point soon, the armed servants of the State will be ordered to go against the truckers in Ottawa.

What will they do?

History indicates that 99% of the time they do whatever their tyrannical masters demand of them, even if that involves murdering the very people they purport to "serve and protect." As usual, they will serve and protect whoever's paying them.
