Whining does not seem like the best way to generate sympathy.

[Tolerance Sucks Rocks]

Residents described being bombarded by relentless honking, fireworks, being choked by diesel fumes, seeing hate symbols openly displayed, subjected to racial, homophobic and transphobic slurs, attacked for wearing masks, and feeling let down by all levels of government and police since the first vehicles set up Jan. 28.

You are fake news! -- Donald John Trump

Not just whining, lying.

“Fear of violence outside”

Lemme know when businesses start to catch fire.

[fwdude]

So, now they know exactly what the hundreds of communities went through in 2020 during the St. George BLM terrorist and antifa rallies, which they probably supported.

[Empire_of_Liberty]

It sounds like Kimberly is ovulating. Journalism is dead.

[canuck_conservative]

more CBC propaganda, designed to paint the truckers as terrorists

yet the CBC was celebrating the BLM thugs 2 years ago when they were looting, burning, and destroying

CBC = Canadian Pravda! Defund these bastards now!!

seeing hate symbols openly displayed, subjected to racial, homophobic and transphobic slurs, attacked for wearing masks,

How likely this is even true?

[Vigilanteman]

I wonder if all these scared little rabbits understand that truckers doing their jobs is what enabled them to live in downtown Ottawa in the first place? Probably not.

“it is non-stop harassment.”

THATS RIGHT AND SO ARE THE MANDATES....HOW’S IT FEEL!!!

I think Justin Castro’s speech writer composed that and handed it to his Gov PR arm...the CNS.

[PeterPrinciple]

But one person wrote about how even fleeing didn’t mean truly escaping.

“What may be the most difficult aspect [is that] most of my family supports the protest.

Karen, is that you?

[Oberon]

I don’t know why I should have expected anything but propaganda out of the CBC... but I will say, they surely didn’t disappoint. This exceeds even my Goebbels-level expectations for CBC media.

[Responsibility2nd]

Fake news indeed.

Black LIES Matter.

[Spok]

The CBC is as fake as CNN.

[blackdog]

Real life “Trailer Park Boys” going on.

[pierrem15]

Liars.

[hinckley buzzard]

People have been conditioned to feel fearful over honking horns. Make up accusations of racism. Sad commentary.

[cnsmom]

I doubt they have been triple vaxed, just a hunch.

"I am a brown woman and I am also incredibly scared of the occupiers. It infuriates me that people seem to be more upset about the war memorial than Nazi flags, Confederate flags and Trump flags being brandished about," she wrote.

Dunno what she saw for sure -- if she even exists -- but all I'm seeing in the pictures are trucks, Canadian flags and some signs.
