You have really hit on something. It's amazing that some young people will foam at the mouth and scream in the streets against Trump or a cop shooting some criminal but will submit to lockdowns restricting their freedom of movement. AND will call those protesting to have our freedom back racists and homophobes.
Welcome to Clown World.
My personal experience, my friends and almost 90 percent of my clients are in favor of the protests. I know the polls are saying only 30 percent of Canadians are, but these are also the same ones that painted them as the fringe minority.
Imagine from a fringe minority to the one third in just few weeks.
That same media was feeding us the news regarding the pandemic, the virus, the solutions, etc.. Time is the enemy of lies, and with time, people are realizing that something is wrong with what we have been fed as information. Lots of contradictions in explanations, and regulations versus reality. Most of the people had a direct experience with the Virus by now (either directly or through others). Unfortunately, while some had horrific ones, most of the others, their experiences were not so scary.
The media just focused on the scary ones, and painted (voluntarily or not) the whole scene like a Zombie movie. Fear was always the main theme, and they kept feeding it to us on many levels: Your health, your elders, crash of hospitals, longue term effect, etc. Amid all this fear campaign, they claimed the solution, and pushed it through punishing those that refused it. It is hard to rebel when you do not really see clearly what is correct and what is not. One of the biggest success they had achieved, was mixing the
Anti Mandates and
Anti Vaccination. While you can be both, but you can also be with Vaccination and anti Mandate. I am Anti Mandate, and I believe that people at risk should be Vaccinated. To this Government, I will be considered anti Vaccination (or conspiracist)
This winter, their solution was tested, and their solution has failed. The Vaccine's objectives regressed from
stopping the Pandemic, to just
reducing your risks of getting "very sick and hospitalized". However, the measures that were used to stop or control the Pandemic were kept, instead of being removed. Trudeau keeps saying our way out of the Pandemic is getting Vaccinated. What does that really mean? Our way out? If we all get Vaccinated, will COVID with all of it variants stop from spreading? The Clear Answer is NO. He needs to redefine the "way out". A new theory is now emerging, the ones the British have decided to go with, and more countries are following, and it is "Living with COVID".
The Convoy protest is the first, and it will not be the last if this continues. What this action has demonstrated is that people have a memory. You cannot claim something, and then just switch it. Until just recently, my hopes were really low, but I think that people just needed time. The convoy has broken that Fear of coming forward. More and more Politicians are taking that fight. At least, at this stage, the abuse is not going to increase, and hopefully, all this will become a thing of the past very soon.
