Brougham: Truck protest — it's about as far from a 'freedom convoy' as you can get
Ottawa Citizen ^ | February 09, 2022 | Dennis Brougham

Posted on 02/09/2022 4:38:38 AM PST by Kriggerel

...In downtown Ottawa I see people wearing Canadian flags to declare themselves patriots because they march to reject the government’s mandates.

I disagree: doing this does not make you any sort of a patriot but rather just a complaining obstructionist with a flag on your back. Eighty-four per cent of Canadians have received at least one dose of vaccine against COVID-19, as have 90 per cent of truckers. So the protesters represent no more than 16 per cent of the population and no more than 10 per cent of truckers.

Yes... Those peasants are still revolting. I think, if nothing else, the Freedom Convoy has opened a lot of eyes to the fact that the very idea of a fair and unbiased media is nothing but a pretty little lie that we once told ourselves. There is no mystical, heroic "Fourth Estate" that upholds freedom. No, the Fourth Estate became a Fifth Column long ago.

They keep saying the large percentage of the population has taken the shot.

BUT the truckers said over and over they don’t care. It’s NOT about having the shot. It’s about being FORCED a to have one, FORCED to close businesses at the governments will, FORCED to not operate as normal, and FORCED to wear devices that do NOT work.

It’s about the rule of their charter being broken over and over again which means they have no safety.

Conflating getting vaccinated with supporting mandates.

Tricks of the devil.

Ottawa resident Dennis Brougham holds a bachelor’s degree in journalism and a master’s degree in political science.

Nuff said, eh?

Whatever you think of this there is certainly no science that supports a distinction between 90 and 100% vaccination rates.

Why did you post this article against the trickers? Just curious as there’s every reason to offer support.

A recent poll says well over 50% are for the end of mandates and for the freedom convoy. It’s third grade logic to think that just because you are forced to take the experimental jab and do it, that you are for it.

What science does support is that the survival rate is 99.9%...almost Ivory Pure!!

“Eighty-four per cent of Canadians have received at least one dose of vaccine against COVID-19”

Yes you stupid a@@ because they had a gun pointed at their head. Like saying 99.9% boarded the trains so the .1 who resisted are troublemakers.

The logical fallacy of popular participation.

98% of the Peoples Temple drank the kool aid in Guyana, so it must have been okay.

I think the article was written by a tricker.

Barf alert is missing!

Eighty-four per cent of Canadians have received at least one dose of vaccine against COVID-19, as have 90 per cent of truckers. So the protesters represent no more than 16 per cent of the population and no more than 10 per cent of truckers.

So, the author is saying that, because I'm not, e.g., a Jew, I can't protest the persecution of Jews?

FAIL!
