Canada, as it turns out, isn't broken. That was the message coming out of Pierre Poilievre's big rebrand rally, where he tried to reposition himself as a champion of Canada's virtues rather than just another critic of its failures. And while Liberal partisans will look skeptically on this attempted political metamorphosis, the biggest doubters might actually be some of his erstwhile fans: the freedom convoy.

Right out of the gate it clearly is a hit piece on Pierre.

Check the social media accounts of any prominent convoy participant, whether it's Tamara Lich, Pat King, or their dedicated transcriptionists in the alt-press, and their sympathy for Donald Trump and antipathy towards Canada becomes immediately apparent. "Your sudden, newfound, fake patriotism is truly indicative of how stupid you think we are," Lich said. "The entitlement of certain Canadians is humorous," fellow organizer Chris Barber wrote. "If we had leadership in Canada who cared about Canadians like Trump cared about Americans … we wouldn't be in this situation."

Yes the !leafs who like freedom want to be part of a country that unarguably has more rights and freedoms.

They insist the real problem isn't Trump's ongoing threats to our sovereignty but Justin Trudeau's continued existence — and, of course, the injustices and affronts that were inflicted upon them by his government. Rupa Subramanya, one of the most sympathetic chroniclers of the convoy's exploits, suggested that "Canadians have bought into the lie by politicians across the board that Trump wants to annex Canada, when what I believe is that he really wants Canadians to get rid of the Liberal government and have greater economic integration and cooperation with the US."

Trudeau drove the country into the shitter. He is why it sucks here. I don't give a frick about Trump and his "threats", "threats" which amount to "We'll make you a full state and give you all full citizenship in the best country on the gods green earth"

That's right: for these folks, public health orders aimed at protecting them and their fellow citizens are a greater threat to their liberty than an American government explicitly threatening their liberty. Policies like vaccine mandates and mask regulations — most of which, it's worth reiterating, were implemented by provincial governments — are worth resisting, apparently, but unjustified economic warfare is best met with submission and docility.

Yes forcing me to wear a mask that doesn't stop the spread (inb4: well you shoulda worn a kn95! No I don't care they were sold out everywhere and tons of the one in circulation were fake!) and get vaxxed to be able to buy food (This was seriously floated and why I finally gave in, well that and being able to work) is and was a massive threat to my freedom.

Getting to be American is the opposite of a threat to my freedom.

In some respects, the convoy's refusal to join the rest of the country in its fight against Trump's repeated provocations isn't all that surprising.

The convoy is over. It ended years ago. This is some g*mergate in current year shit.

What brought them to Ottawa in 2022 wasn't love of their country but hatred of the government in charge of it

No shit r-slur

hich helps explain the very conspicuous presence of American flags, Trump flags, and even Confederate and Nazi flags. It's why they plotted, at least in the beginning, to overthrow that government. And it's why, in a moment where the country they claim to love is being actively threatened with economic and political subjugation, they're rooting for the person doing the threatening.

I'm getting a stars and bars shirt just to piss off this jslu

They're welcome to believe whatever they want, of course. That's one of the virtues of living in a free and democratic society: you can pretend it's a woke dictatorship if that makes you feel better about your life choices.

After reading all of that I just came to the conclusion that I don't like either of you. (1830)

Thanks for taking the time to read through. That's a fair assessment. (-40)

Basedness: 🔥🔥🔥🔘🔘

Why are you talking to your girlfriend like this its so strange and condescending. She's being immature but she is right that you two just aren't compatible (259)

Thanks for taking the time to reply. I tried to clearly articulate my boundaries over text. I wanted to show if I had treated her the way she had treated me in a previous disagreement, she would think me to be a wildly inconsiderate and demeaning. (-77)

Basedness: 🔥🔥🔥🔘🔘

You come off as very possessive and the way you kept referring to her as "your woman" grossed me out even as a guy. I'd be leaving pretty promptly, this seems exhausting over a Facebook status (which she says you don't even use often anyway) (518)

Thanks for taking the time to read through and responding. I had responded to another similar comment up here, let me see if I can find it …Here it is "I could have worded that differently. I'm my thoughts it's that in a committed relationship her as my woman and me as her man that we honor requests big or small because feelings we have are both valid and important. Definitely did not come off this way" (-91)

She is two of those three things. I haven't heard of that. Looking now. Thank you for replying! (2)

it can be many different things like avoiding daily care tasks, but it can also be getting mad when someone reminds you of something they asked ofyou, it can be when someone is mad you told them to do something in the first placebecause she was so upset & hyper-focused on the part where you told her to do something multiple times, especially with her dish washing example, it reminded me of myself & i have pda so she is arguing that she doesn't want to be told what to do & she sees you as an butt for telling her & telling her without giving her time & space to do it on her own and you're getting upset that she didn't already do this things & you see it as disrespectful on her end to not care about your needs as much as you doso you have her thinking you're an butt, and you then getting upset & insulting her character & telling her she would be a bad mother, basically you told her to give up on her life dreams because you don't think she is right for it: that's being an butt. then she ne...

If it doesn't matter then why not just do it to make your partner happy? (18)

Exactly. This. If it didn't matter, then the person would change it. And comparing this to a couple that is married for a decade who decided maybe jointly to keep their lives private is not an apples to apples comparison. This woman didn't want to change her status for one reason: what she looks like to outside world is actually more important to her than her bf's feelings. She keeps saying the opposite, and bringing up all sorts of bullshit replies. It's ridiculous. Every time in my life a woman has said she wants to keep our relationship private, there's a reason that is not good. Consider that in the time it took to text all that bullshit, she could've gone to her profile and changed her status 100 times, FFS. She clearly doesn't want to do it, and she is lying about why bc she wanted to have her cake and eat it too. OP's mistake, which in my past also was a mistake, was trying to argue or convince the person to change what they are doing. To find out who people are, watch what t... (7)

Angriness: 😡😡😡😡😡

I mean… I think it was a weird thing for you to decide was a hill to die on. I personally am cautious about posting a lot of anything on fb… I have a toxic ex and friend that would stalk my FB and cause drama over anything I updated on Facebook. Maybe she has nosy family that she doesn't want getting up in her business about a new relationship status. Or maybe she just likes to keep things private. Whatever the reason, I 100% agree the communication thing is more important than a fb status- there is just a lot of justified reasons someone might be hesitant to do that that have nothing to do with the relationship itself. And if you have only been together a short time those reasons may be something she is not yet comfortable disclosing. I think you tried to compare apples to oranges with the communication and "honoring" wishes. It just seems very trivial. (437)

My now wife was like that when we started dating for a couple of months. But that was because I met her when I was with my ex. My wife is the owner of the boarding barn that my ex and I went to board our horses with. My ex was kind of a nut job and cheating like crazy again when we started boarding there, and the relationship was in turmoil, so I broke up with her. Then I started working on the horse trailer that I had at the barn owners property to get it moved off of her land. And me and her would hang out platonically as friends, and we eventually got together. So she was hesitant on changing her fb status as it kind of looked bad to be screwing around with the barn owner after me and the ex broke up a few months prior. But my ex kept trying to prod and message or call me real late at night, and my wife said screw it and just changed her relationship status and just kept ignoring the ex and she eventually went away. But idk why she was so tore up that I was dating someone else wh... (7)

A quick post detailing some drama on a prostitute forum. A black man wants to find a white working girl to pleasure him. This is difficult to do because many white girls do not see black guys. To advertise this, they will write ROAR on their profile.

Soon enough, the thread is visited by Pluglife420 who has a bit of advice for OP

The prostitutes don't take kindly to that!

Other "punters" (Johns) also have some opinions to share
