SpeedFlex27 Posted February 15, 2022 Report Share Posted February 15, 2022 Who in their ******* right mind targets high school & elementary students?? I swear to God these idiots need to be dealt with. This enraged Karen who spat on that student needs to be charged with assault. And her employer needs to see what kind of ugly person they have in their employ. Some serious jail time & a heavy fine would do her good. You know she'd be wailing in the court room crying for mercy saying she was sorry. the watcher, Bigblue204, Mark F and 3 others 2 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tracker Posted February 16, 2022 Report Share Posted February 16, 2022 2 hours ago, the watcher said: Sometimes this doesn't look like Canada anymore. It is very easy now to be come despondent and cynical about the social culture of Canada right now, but these idiots comprise probably less than a tenth of one percent. However they are very vocal and the media and some politicians and popular figures have given them a profile completely out of proportion to their numbers and purported popularity. The politicians have been divided and hesitant in their responses as have been the police, and that has compounded the problem. The net message the protesters have taken out of this is that whenever they do not get what they want, even if illegal and outrageous, they can repeat these behaviours and escalate if they choose to with little or no consequence. Bullies rarely respond to negotiation- they see that as an admission of weakness and renew their demands.

Tracker Posted February 16, 2022 Report Share Posted February 16, 2022 Ottawa residents respond to anti-vax truckers with a song about gay cowboys Anti-vaccine truckers from the "Freedom Convoy" in Ottawa, Canada on February 12, 2022, Wikimedia Commons In Ottawa, Canada’s capital city, a convoy of anti-vax truckers have been protesting against the Canadian government’s COVID-19 vaccine requirement for truckers reentering Canada from the United States — and many Ottawa residents have grown impatient with the traffic jams and gridlock they have created. Some of those Ottawa residents, according to LGBTQ Nation’s Bil Browning, have responded by “using an explicit heavy metal song about gay cowboys having sex to overpower the group’s communications and broadcast it to anyone listening.” The song is “Ram Ranch,” a 2012 recording by Canadian rocker Grant MacDonald. “Ram Ranch,” Browning reports, “is being blasted over several Zellow channels dedicated to the convoy.” Noeller, Bigblue204 and Fred C Dobbs 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Probably just a coincidence. Most definitely in Coutts. "Coutts is also located in one of the most intransigent regions of Alberta. It is a part of the province long settled by religious minorities escaping persecution, Americans, cattle ranchers and rural folk who have more time for their neighbours than far-off governments. This has always been a hot-bed for distrust in official narratives and public-health guidelines: Whooping Cough is now endemic to the region and doctors fear the return of rubella thanks to lagging vaccination rates — and all of this was well before COVID came along." https://theline.substack.com/p/dispatch-from-the-coutts-front-god?utm_campaign=post&utm_medium=web Some of the surnames popping up from the Emerson blockade support your suspicion as well.

Noeller Posted February 16, 2022 Report Share Posted February 16, 2022 ******* ******* Cons.... she wants to cozy up to the base that is the convoy, and doesn't want any of the blame, so she gets Trudeau to do it for her, so she doesn't take any heat from them and she can blame him.
