The trucker rally taking place in Canada right now has somewhat restored my faith in our neighbors to the North. After electing effeminate weirdo Justin Trudeau twice, I figured Canuckistan had gone full blown WOKE(!) The protests prove that at least a sizable minority of Canadians still have a decent bit of testosterone left in them. Some of them still remember what freedom is, and they are not going to allow themselves to be enslaved without a fight.
However, the media coverage of the Canadian trucker rally looks very familiar. It turns out the US media aren’t the only ones who are big enough assholes to lie about their political foes. The Canadian media is probably even more left wing than ours, if that is actually possible. They are certainly less subtle about their biases. The CBC is Canada’s state-funded media company. Check out some of the blatant propaganda in this hit piece they recently published.
The article starts out noting that scores of angry left wing Canadians have been breaking ties with anyone who dares to join a peaceful protest they don’t agree with:
“I think I’ve unfriended, like, 100 people — and that includes some family,” he said. ” I won’t even talk to them anymore.
– some self-righteous left wing Canadian jackass
The author assures the readers that this is a totally normal and healthy reaction to have over a political disagreement, because there are “core values” being violated by the protestors. This next gem has to be the pull quote from the entire article:
Flear said they were shocked to see that one of their friends from their Nova Scotia hometown posted that he had attended the rally. Flear, who has a master’s degree in biology, said they reached out to him, said they would talk about vaccinations, and clear up any misunderstandings or confusing science jargon related to getting a shot. “But he just replied with something along the lines of ‘Canada is a free country’ or something like that,” Flear said.
– some arrogant Canadian wanker
Wow. I can’t believe that person turned down an opportunity to be lectured by some random fuckwad with a Biology degree. What a missed opportunity. Mr. Biology could have cleared up all of this guy’s “misunderstandings” and explained all of that confusing medical jargon using simple one syllable words that even the hoi polloi could understand. He must have been brainwashed by Fox News into believing freedom was more important than submitting to your intellectual superiors for your own good. So sad. Even on the left, that level of arrogance, self-righteousness, and condescension is rare. Bravo, sir.
Still, it feels like something is missing for a left wing hit piece. Bring in the psychology professor!
“But I think what the vaccine issue and now the protests are really bringing to light are issues that are highly tied to our core values,” she said. These values include the idea of not just protecting yourself, but protecting others, she added. They also include feelings about racism, safety and personal choice versus the greater good — values that you hold that are so important, that they can’t be compromised.
– some obscure Canadian professor with a Mickey Mouse degree
Sacrifice your freedom and personal choice for the “greater good.” Basically forever. Even if the sacrifices don’t do diddly squat in reality. That is the “core value” the left is insisting on. Chairman Mao couldn’t have put it any better.
But wait, did that Professor also throw out the racism canard??? Of course she did. Any time anyone does something a leftist doesn’t like, it is motivated by racism. So we have a bunch of Canadians protesting against vaccine mandates and COVID restrictions. How could that possibly be racist, you might ask? Do they only want to restore freedom for white people? Where is the racism angle?
But the convoy protest has added a new strain on relationships. Concerns and outrage over the participation of white nationalists, the presence of swastikas and Confederate flags at the rally and reports of harassing and intimidating behaviour by some protesters have prompted some to sever their friendships with rally supporters.
Swastikas and Confederate flags! These people are truly shameless. I have seen tons of pictures and videos from the protests. All you see are friendly patriotic folks smiling and waving the Canadian flag. In fact, the atmosphere seems almost celebratory. The Ottawa police were even forced to admit that the crowd was not violent, but still insisted on labeling them “dangerous” anyways. The racism and white supremacy smears against these good people are a pathetically transparent attempt to marginalize them and avoid addressing the substance of their protest. The fact the CBC would take part in it is at the same time appalling and totally expected.
I actually took the time to follow the links in the article claiming the truckers are white supremacists flying swastikas and Confederate flags. The 1st link has a total of zero pictures to back up their claims. The entirety of their evidence is one anonymous woman from Winnipeg who claims to have seen a Confederate flag on her morning drive. Seriously. That’s it. An unverifiable story told by a single person. And the evidence they give for swastikas is even weaker.
To be fair, I did see one video on YouTube where a jackass with a confederate flag tried to join in on the protest. The protestors immediately called this fool out as a left wing saboteur. With his cover blown, he quietly slinked away. I am quite confident 99% of all the other allegations of racism are astro-turf bullshit too. I’m really getting sick of the left’s slimy tactics. Maybe we should start doing the same vile shit to them. Any time they have a protest, conservatives should pose as pedophiles and join in. Then we can say, See! The left is chock full of pedophiles! Everything they do or say can be linked back to pedophilia! Only problem is, I don’t think leftists would be all that upset to be associated with pedophiles.
In the 24th paragraph, the author does finally get around to the other side’s position. Journalistic Integrity! Just like the US media!
Following the weekend rally, Sheila Mills, from Salt Spring Island, B.C., posted on Facebook that anyone who believed the media’s negative spin of the protest and accusations of racism should unfriend her. “Anyone who believes that is not my friend, they don’t know me well enough to be considered a friend,” Mills said. “Anyone who is going to label all of those people as racist or supporting white supremacy. I lose respect.”
So Canadian media is total garbage, just like in the good ole U. S. of A. All of them can choke on a bag of wangs.
