Normal people who live in NYC and most other large US cities also live in fear, every day, thanks to Soros.

Why are they fearing violence? These have been peaceful so far.

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

Silly goose, don't you know that the stuff that makes it so they can live dowtown...just happens? And now the truckers are disrupting it. The downtowner's fear, whether based in reality or not, is all that matters now.

Pure lying propaganda. The trucker protests have huge public support in Canada and the US.

The only violence is from the liberals driving cars into the crowds.

I’ve lived ‘in town” on main streets several times......first you grow accustomed to the traffic noise, parades and protests which are ongoing. 2nd, those with brown skin are afraid because they know their people have been crying fake racism against whites ever since BLM took to the streets...why not now as well.
3rd, Truduea sees those protesting as “peasants” and himself as speaker for the elites...certainly not that he serves the people.

masks, and feeling let down by all levels of government and police since the first vehicles set up Jan. 28.

I'm browsing MSM photos of the convoy right now. I see American flags, Canadian flags, freedom and anti-vax and anti-mask signs. Are these the "symbols of hate" they're talking about? I sure don't see much else being waved or displayed.

Oh, wait ... there's a sign that says "to thine own self be true"! Such hatred! *gasp*

Might have just found one. A trucker has a middle finger to Trudeau on the grill of his rig. And some F Trudeau signs. Had to really look for those.

This is an over used and common gaslighting tactic: “subjected to racial, homophobic and transphobic slurs”.

Whenever you see that sentence you can be sure that the article is pure bullshit. The convoy protest is so peaceful and civilized compared to the summer of hate we had to go through in america.

“All levels of government failed the citizens downtown.”

The truckers and their supporters believe “all levels of government” failed them.

The truckers and their supporters could make quite a few of the complaints levied in the article.

"Being a woman of colour, I felt very fearful," said Arushana, who left her home in the ByWard Market to stay with a colleague in the Glebe last weekend. CBC is not using her last name because she is concerned for her safety.

After putting up with sleepless nights and fireworks being aimed at her building, one of the final straws was seeing a Confederate flag on her way home from work.

"I broke down," she said. "As a first generation immigrant child, seeing such hatred, especially when my parents came to this country to provide me and my sister with a better opportunity and a better life .... I didn't feel safe."

Wow, this is written like it was a feminist monologue.

First generation immigrant? To Canada? From another Commonwealth country? Seems to be doing pretty well if she can afford her own flat in Ottawa.

And exactly how is she afraid of a US Confederate flag when the only one seen was carried by Trudeau's official photographer and henchmen, for a photo op?

Such hatred ... by the government towards its own citizens. That's what she should be afraid of.

I am quite sure the CBC was very selective in whom they spoke to and put their own spin on what was said.
