Excuse me, I’m a Canadian and I’m confused. All I know is that if I drive down to the closest border crossing to the United States of America and park my pick-up across the traffic lanes, I will get a ticket for impeding traffic and eventually arrested if I persist.
But if I bring some friends with me, wave a flag and tell the cops it’s a protest, I can do what the hell I like?
Get off it. Is this a country of laws or not? If your cops are afraid of a few fuckers who call themselves truckers, you better get some better cops.
Is my country at the mercy of assholes? I really don’t care about your colour, your birth language, or how long your ancestors have been here.
If our country does not have suitable laws to deal with the unruly, then we need to make some:
Nobody has the right to hold our country’s economy to ransom.
Nobody has the right to block citizens from the quiet enjoyment of their homes or downtown streets or to go shopping.
If you don’t like our politicians, vote for those you do like.
If you do not like any of them, run for office yourself.
But you cannot command the prime minister to sit down with you. Send him a letter. Canada Post is still functioning, I hope. I would suggest you be polite and use grown-up words. If you do not respect the person, respect the position.
I am sorry to be so demanding but like the rest of Canadians, I am fed up with this goddamn pandemic. We are all tired of it. Just remember though that millions of people have now died. This is no way to cull the human herd.
Those of us who are still wearing surgical masks where requested are trying, as best we can, not to spread the disease further. We are not fools. We got the shots, we self-isolated. We did what we were asked to do.
We need a path out. We do not need people blocking that path. Please help.
