When the so-called police start stealing Canadians personal property, They are no longer police they are armed thugs. The police have guns, tasers, batons, and pepper spray… The people of Canada can not own any of those items. Which allows armed thugs to steal personal property from Canadians. Funny how government media have comments turned off…. Not allowing to give Canadian people a voice. Just their opinions which are the opinions of their "MASTERS" the government. Next, we will see the government stealing children. WE MUST STAND TOGETHER. Go to any protest near you SUPPORT SUPPORT SUPPORT. To the true police who protect CANADIANS stand up to your masters, it is no longer a thin blue line it is a WIDE Red Canadian line
What's up with the confederate flags there? They could get their point across about vaccine mandates without polarizing the people.
No video of the violets haha 2 flags that were not Canada flags! If yall can't see what liberal media is doing you will all be slaves. This is way more peaceful than BLM protests
Its never about the vaicine..gov Harrasing their own citizens
This is about alot more than mask mandates. Right wing agendas are their focus. Disgusting
PATRIOTS WILL WIN
That's bs saying the protestors don't want to talk, more like you don't want them to talk. No proof of the racist displays either, everything I've seen is mostly a peaceful protest about government overreach. Stay strong 🇨🇦.
🍁 TRUE NORTH 🇨🇦 STRONG AND FREE
🍁LET THE MILLION MAN MARCH BEGIN CANADA🇨🇦
This is because unJust Trudeau's woke philosophy is not tenable and it bled over to more social mandates like forced vaccinations. Why don't you people get it – if they can force you to take a medication thereby removing your freedom, you got nothing left. Imagine if the Government said having babies are bad for your health, everyone must take oral contraceptives and have abortions immediately – would you like a government that operated like that?
Why media lie about them? They not doing anything wrong! Black life matter group destroy citys and towns not this truckers

There can be no democracy if individuals have no freedoms. I’d rather live in a Dictatorship with abundant freedoms.
Soo getting the jad means that i wanted to live in a medical tyrannical globalistic state?
Remember when you guys got kicked out of the Kyle Rittenhouse trial for following the jury?
All these protesters and their supporters are just far right wing conspiracy theorists, waving nazi flags. Every last one of them is a racist, white supremacist and that's what this is really about. They want all other races gone.
Hold the line 🇨🇦 Stop the Lie ❤️
Whom Can We Trust If No One Is Trustworthy?
One of my favorite quips from Mark Twain’s The Adventures of Tom Sawyer is when Tom is defined as “a glittering hero…the pet of the old, the envy of the young,” and there were “some that believed that he would be President, yet, if he escaped hanging.” With these few words, Twain captured the essence of leadership in our world. Those who get to the top are the fiercest, most determined, and most ruthless. Today, the latter quality has become so intense that we can no longer believe our leaders, and certainly not trust them to have our best interest in mind.
I am not accusing any leader in particular, or even leaders as a whole. It is simply that in an egoistic world, where people vie to topple one another on their way to the top, the one at the top is clearly the one who trampled over and knocked down more people than anyone else. Concisely, to get to the top in an egoistic world you have to be the biggest egoist.
So how do we know whom to trust? We don’t know and we cannot know. All we know is that we are in the dark.
In a culture of unhinged selfishness, any conspiracy theory seems reasonable, while truth is nowhere to be found. When every person who says or writes something is trying to promote some hidden agenda, you have no way of knowing who is right, what really happened, or if anything happened at all.
The only way to get some clarity in the news and goodwill from our leaders is to say “Enough!” to our current system and build something entirely independent. The guiding principle of such a system should be “information only,” no commentary. Commentary means that information has already been skewed. Information means saying only what happened, as much as possible, not why, and not who is to blame and who we should praise.
Concurrently, we must begin a comprehensive process of self-teaching. We have to know not only what is happening, but why we skew and distort everything. In other words, we have to know about human nature and how it inherently presents matters according to its own subjective view, which caters to one’s own interest. To “clear” ourselves from that deformity, we must learn how to rise above our personal interest and develop an equally favorable attitude toward others. This is our only guarantee that our interpretation of things will be even and correct.
Once we achieve such an attitude, we will discover that the bad things we see in our world reflect our own, internal wickedness. Our ill-will toward others creates a world where ill-will governs, and so the world is filled with wickedness and cruelty. Therefore, all we need in order to create positive leadership—and to generally eliminate ill-will from the world—is to generate goodwill within us. When we nurture goodwill toward others, we will fill the world with goodwill. As a result, the world will fill with kindness and compassion. By changing ourselves, we will create a world that is opposite from the world we have created through our desires to govern, patronize, and often destroy other people.
Hold the line, I’m coming with reinforcements today.
Well it looks way less violent compared to "mostly peaceful" BLM riots
I think the whole world wants to get back to normal- to bad a lot a Weirdos are making harder to do so…
Her voice is really annoying
Trudeau should do right thing here and resign
Resign and hys
Why is YouTube taking down the live stream, a warning to YouTube you will be held accountable 😠
A couple of thousand people complaining means very little. There's 37 million Canadians who are not with them. The majority rules and that's me 😉
I have jabs and a booster, BY CHOICE. Totally against bullies and mandates. To the ten to twenty percent of Canadians that don't want the shot……. you get a pass. Let's move on. April Wine said it best in "My Life". Moving on……………..
They must be referring to the government "plants" that were walking around with the flags and such.
It doesn’t seem right to demand that everyone get a vaccine. What about all the people who have severe allergic reactions and have stopped breathing or had seizures with previous vaccines? I have a coworker with multiple sclerosis and she does not want to put a newer vaccine in her already fragile immune system. What about all the thousands of fake vaccine cards out there? This is impossible to control. People are actively working, shopping and socializing around many unvaccinated people without even knowing it!! The vaccine mandates are discriminatory and defy all logic.
Religion is followed. Science is questioned.
Don't you guys have immigration laws? These people are uninvited and do not have legal right to be there. It is a national security risk. Do you know who these people are?
For all the vaccine fanatics:
How would you react if the government mandated that you take a regiment of hydroxychloroquine?
