The Coronavirus thread

Quote: ams288

Aren’t like 90% of the Canadian truckers vaccinated?

Is this another case of the “loud minority” stomping their heels and having a hissy fit?

Over 50% of Canadians are tired of Covid regs and want to see the end of them. Close to 90% of all adult Canadians are vaccinated, 95% in some provinces. Just because you are vaccinated doesn't mean that you think the Covid rules and lockdowns aren't infringing on your rights.

What a bunch of idiots.

Burning up all that diesel fuel for a monster convoy of empty / unloaded trucks traveling cross-country.

Yeah, that'll show 'em.

Well, it sure seems to be. And a good chance we will see the same in the USA and other countries. Courage is contagious.

Translation: yes, it is a small number of whiners having a hissy fit.

Elon Musk: GoFundMe ‘professional thieves’ for withholding $10M from anti-vax rally

GoFundMe issued this statement explaining why it withheld the $10 million from the anti-vax demonstrators:

“We now have evidence from law enforcement that the previously peaceful demonstration has become an occupation, with police reports of violence and other unlawful activity,”

Fair enough, but they also shut down conservative fundraisers while continuing to allow fund raising for Antifa and BLM.

They allow donations for the people who attacked Rittenhouse, but refuse donations for Rittenhouse.

FLASHBACK: GoFundMe supported Antifa-occupied ‘CHAZ/CHOP’ even after people were murdered

Elon Musk: GoFundMe ‘professional thieves’ for withholding $10M from anti-vax

What a BS post
If they are returning the money, nothing stolen.
No thieving
WTF, who cares what Elon says. Probably believes Trump won.
Wizards house, wizards rules
Same goes for gofundme
You can easily raise money without gofund me
Look at Trump. Constant money begs via email
You think Trump would be stupid enough to raise money via gofundme. Of course not. He's not as dumb as the truckers.
Looks to me like conservative are such idiots, they go into another person's house to raise money. DUMB AND STUPID. They then complain that they can't do what they want in somebody else's house. Don't like the house, get out. Gazillion houses out there. Build your own like the Wizard
Trumpers got to be the cheapest bums out there. Instead of using a little coin to pay somebody to build them a house, they go into a private house and raise hell.
Politicians are the kings and Queens of raising money. I don't think a single senator depends on gofundme

Ottawa police thanked GoFundMe for the action.

We want to thank @gofundme for listening to our concerns as a City and a police service. The decision to withhold funding for these unlawful demonstrations is an important step and we call on all crowdfunding sites to follow.

Are Trumpers going to throw the Ottawa police under the bus like the Capitol police. We live in interesting times. Doesn't look like Trumpers back the blue

Also, remeber when the Trumpers said it should be legal to run over anyone illegally blocking a roadway illegally for a demonstration?

They have no consistency so it should not be surprising.

I understand that a small number of whiners had a hissy fit a couple of hundred years ago in Boston harbour, something to do with tea?

Right wing protestors don't shoot cops that is reserved for the BLM and lefty protests. The protest has been surprising peacfull. The biggest things the media can find to whine about are people peeing in public near a war memorial and hanging an upside down flag on Terry Fox.

I wonder just when Covid will be gone for good. It seems that everytime were just about to be out of this nightmare, a new Variant is found somewhere and begins traveling the world just like the first Covid Variant did.
