No way.

It would be totally appropriate to do that in this case.

Personally I'd like to see them trashed.

No, there is nothing religious about this movement.

The problem is that liberals are scared to hell of right wing extremists like this, so they try to ignore them and hope they go away. But they don't.
^ This is an astute take.

I have always regarded Canada basically the way Margaret Atwood portrays the country in The Handmaid's Tale, or to provide a real-world example, the way American objectors to the Vietnam War viewed Canada - a potential place of refuge, a place an American could hopefully flee to if something really horrific happened in the U.S.

This "trucker" siege has shattered that perception of Canada. This internet-fueled far-right scourge is infecting nations throughout the world and apparently even a country as amazing as Canada is not immune to this pathetic fad.

My sincere advice as someone who has watched first-hand as this element has destroyed America - crush this. It is terrorism and these people will only continue to escalate until they are met with serious consequences.

My Halifax office has received a suspicious package matching the description of those sent to other NS MPs containing a chemical irritant.

There’s something happening in our country right now. And it’s not good. We all need to take a step back & return to a more civil discourse.

I'm schooling you on religious symbols. The only thing I said about Quebec society and politics is that if they are waving flags with Christian symbols on it, then they are clearly motivated by religion. I don't know anybody who would wave a flag with religious symbols on it, that has no political significance, if they were not motivated by religion. And that flag has no political significance. It is a Christian flag and that is the way it has always been used, according to online sources, which I have posted.

And I am telling you that this is entirely based on ethno-cultural history and there is no Christian-based right wing French Canadian movement that can bring out even a tenth of this type of crowd in the streets.

Stop trying to impose American socio-political norms on other countries. Things are different here. There is a border for a reason.
