The truckers are overwhelming white men. I'm in Ottawa. I was at the protest yesterday that stopped a convoy of trucks, all driven by white men. The people who I see driving around with giant flags, yelling at pedestrians are all white men. The people at the LCBO fighting security without masks on - white men. People at the grocery store harassing actual essential workers - white men.
I was providing a link in corroboration as to why there is a disproportionate amount of not-white people protesting. While some media are covering how this is not white supremacy as claimed by the CBC... https://notthebee.com/article/come-and-laugh-with-me-at-the-...
The point is missed.
>The truckers are overwhelming white men.
So the reason why the convoy exists is antivaxxers. The way averages work, if Black canadians are at 50% vaccinated 'because reasons' and our average is 85%. This means white people are even more vaccinated and not concerned with the change.
>'m in Ottawa. I was at the protest yesterday that stopped a convoy of trucks, all driven by white men.
So you're a counter protester? I support your efforts so long as you also remain peaceful.

Here's the thing. The narrative that the truckers are a racists, sexist, etc fell apart. You can watch several eloquent Indian truckers explain in depth about how this is not about race.
There is a very relevant video from the notthebee page above: https://twitter.com/ezralevant/status/1487513119119261696
A counter protester with a sign saying 'white nationalist agenda' is confronted with reality.
Wow - that’s quite a summary of what’s going on right now. I keep seeing the same pattern of your comment on right wing media lately (e.g. with the insurrectionists): defend the racist group by blaming either a false flag or “a handful of individuals”, call the protesters “largely peaceful and just exercising their rights”, then turning the charge around to call the people accusing you, of being the actual racists. I find it fascinating to see this on hn - it’s usually the kind of comment I would find in the Breitbart / Fox News comment sections.
You can watch the livestreams for yourself. You can watch videos like: https://twitter.com/QTRBlackGarrett/status/14876208353639833...
There is absolutely no nazi flags or confederate flags. The media and Trudeau smeared these people. This is literally the definition of 'false flag'
>call the protesters “largely peaceful and just exercising their rights”,
This has been confirmed by Ottawa police chief. This is infact a logical conclusion because if the protesters were anything but peaceful they would be arrested by the police. The Ottawa police are unable to do anything because it's peaceful and protected by charter right.
>then turning the charge around to call the people accusing you, of being the actual racists. I find it fascinating to see this on hn - it’s usually the kind of comment I would find in the Breitbart / Fox News comment sections.
Did I call someone racist? I did not. Not once did I say Trudeau is a racist. You are the one who just connected that. Is that by chance because you believe Trudeau is a racist? Interesting.
Also I don't know anything about the final part of your comment. I'm Canadian and not interested in Breitbart / Fox News.

I remember a time many years ago when Trudeau would have open mic town halls and any manner of people would come after him. He would stand his ground and talk to anyone. Including terrorists, I even remember the terrorist kind of rushed toward him and he had to tell them to back off. In the end he literally spoke with that terrorist as a person. What happened to that Trudeau?
