Freedom Convoy protests [Split from All things 2019-nCoV]

[Halifax Tar]

Credit where due: Canadaland publisher Jesse Brown (very broadly & generally leftist, but also very anti-anti-Semitism shenanigans going on these days) has public second thoughts about his original concerns with the whole convoy protest thing - a decent 40 minute listen.

#1207 I Was Wrong About The Freedom Convoy

Was the Freedom Convoy a violent uprising or an act of political protest?

The article by Matt Gurney (a guy who's far from a fan of the woke elements of the world) referred to about some of the more hidden elements of the protest is this one:

Dispatch from the Ottawa Front: Sloly is telling you all he's in trouble. Who's listening?

The scale of Ottawa's defeat is a jarring and continuing indictment of the capacity of the Canadian state, and the state must reverse this situation, decisively.

Agree or disagree with the guy, this isn’t the first time he’s applied new info into a new take.

I have to say that while Brown's revision is welcome his foil's obturacy was not.

There might have been bad things happen because there might have been anti-social elements present. And they were protesting the wrong government.

Meanwhile we regularly have the same confabulations of the aggrieved out supporting each other regardless of the cause... and many of them are out for the socially approved chaos they enjoy.

To my knowledge no fences were torn down, no pavements torn up, no bricks thrown, no molotovs made.
