Apathy.

That and they know they were wrong. All the “crazy” mfers in trucks from Alberta were right. Hard for people in the Laurentian corridor to admit.

Nothing scares me more than an apathetic majority.

The trucker protest was a clarion call for the world, and it failed.

Yes, it saddens me so much.

Down here all the good little boys and girls aren’t leaving their homes, so I guess at least y’all had a frickin protest.

The prairies and Quebec have always had a contentious relationship with the federal government. Thankfully, the provinces still have a lot of power and are relearning how wield it.

Experience is teaching me a confederation > a republic in a technical sense.

Who would’ve thought that local sovereignty would be a ballot issue again?

Yes, and I’m up for it!

Me too, but power never flows downwards peacefully. That’s the only part I think is sad. I have this feeling that suffering is coming.

I agree, but through the suffering there will be a resurrection.

My kids will be ready for it. I hope.

And I hope it won’t be as bad as it has been in the past.

My prayer as well.

And it doesn’t matter what the protests were for. It’s the principle and the precedent that was set.

It’s the knowledge of something you know exists but haven’t witnessed, so you can kind of convince yourself that it would never happen. Then to to see it play out in front of you, in real time, vindicates what you have always feared.

Same shit will happen when the conservatives are in power and the eco terrorists protest.

Now one side has done it, it just gives permission to the other side. You’re seeing that play out down here with the investigations. The dems did it to trump, so they’re doing it to Biden, who will in turn do it to the next guy (or gal).

The real question i always ask is, “what are they doing they don’t want anyone to notice?”

I learned a long time ago this stuff only ever happens when they are getting ready to change things people don’t want changed.

Yes, smoke and mirrors. From up here it seems like every president is going to be impeached for the foreseeable future.

Are you not entertained?

Gotta give that CNN ticker something to scroll.

😂 it gets more and more obvious and extreme.

Has to. Do you honestly think the American populace will even notice if the next president gets impeached at this point? Naw. They’re gonna get caught with a goat or something at this point. They’ll be gay for Putin. Or even better, they’ll get caught with the goat *and* Putin.

😂😂

Even Putin isn’t scary enough to mobilize national “fear”

I’m afraid for what the next “emergency” is going to be.

Gotta be a drama, and an emergency.

Russia and Covid for example.

There’s always got to be an “other” for the in group to fear, or to be fighting.

If an R gets elected (other than Vivek) that’ll be Hamas this go around for sure.

You mean Iran, right?
