error in judgement



Normally I avoid politics in my blogs. Especially politics of a foreign nation., however, I just want a slight bit of leeway here.



Just bare with me briefly as I speak my peace. A considerable portion of our income is derived from trucking and interstate commerce. Truck drivers are a different breed of cat.... one of ours has been with the family over 20 years. Also Canadians, from my experience, are probably the most docile, law abiding people to walk on the face of this planet.



Some of you might have noticed events up in Canada where Canadian truckers have formed a convoy across Canada then occupied the capitol of Ottawa. The truckers have various Covid mandate queries they wish to bring up for discussion with the government. This seems to me most reasonable, prudent, and proper.



PM Trudeau had plenty of time and opportunity to meet with the leaders of the movement, however, he out of hand dismissing them essentially as yokels unworthy of his council. . Yet the PM met with the BLM, an organization that has burned, looted, and murdered across the USA, Canada, and the world. I believe the PM has made a grievous error in judgement. When you can upset the very persons who have seen to it food gets delivered, fuel to heat the homes and clothing to protect from winter's bite have been abundantly provided... then I believe there is a serious problem developing.

side note........

I have since heard it is illegal to honk your horn in Ottawa..... LMAO !!!! you gotta be kidding me. Also reports of CONFEDERATE FLAGS & SWASTIKAS In all the footage from Parliament area I seen 2 "Don't Tread on Me" flags.. 1 13* Star Betsy Ross flag attention CBC these are from the REVOLUTIONARY WAR.. not Confederate. and NOT 1 swastika???? Plenty Red & White Maple Leaf flags of Canada everywhere along with some provincial flags too. I dislike the dishonesty of the mainstream media.

I could point by point challenge much of the information in your blog.... but I'll just say that you have no idea what you're talking about.

Enjoy your day~~~

so far your only qualification is you are Canadian??? Are you in the trucking or cartage industry? Do you hold any sort of medical degree? What are your sources for your "expert" stance. Let's go...

From March of 2020 until August of 2021.. I wore a mask... first to protect myself and second to prevent the spread.. There was no guarantee it was going to work..It was my decision I could live with.. In August of 2020.. I was fully vaccinated and felt almost everyone had the opportunity to do the same..
I now do not support any mandates for masks or vaccines. but not for the same reasons protestors do......I am not my brother's keeper.
In an uncertain world.. in which one gets to make decisions.. one must live with the consequences.
If you do not...you just delay the inevitable, it will come back in a different form and bite you.
People who are unvaccinated die... so be it. Dead people don't bite.

Some people feel to correct the situation it takes a Revolution..I just think it takes Evolution.. This planet isn't going to adapt to Us... we need to adapt to it.

Docile you say. Tell that to the woman who broke into the firehouse last night and took the fire truck for a ride. To be more precise banning the horns is only outlawed in the downtown area where the truckers are. Lawyer Paul Champ said air horns and train horns are blasted at sound levels of 105 to 120 decibels for prolonged periods and can cause permanent hearing damage. The request for an injunction came out of a proposed class-action lawsuit filed with the Ontario Superior Court of Justice on Friday by lawyer Champ on behalf of his client Zexi Li, a 21-year-old non-docile female public servant.

I have to agree with your very first premise for personal responsibility also the "not being your brother's keeper" I am not vaccinated on religious grounds... my choice ..my maker however, I would never force my beliefs upon you.

We only ask you to 'report' your information accurately and completely.
Is that too much to ask? Good 'reporters' confirm what they have found. Your sources sound a bit biased. Did you get any information from those who live in the affective area. My guess is NO.

you guessed wrong... Ottawawalks... lives in the downtown... Neither a truck driver nor activist... just a resident who walks and jogs the area.

The correct quote from CBC was 'Though less well known than the Confederate flag, the Betsy Ross flag has been also been used by white supremacist groups'. Seems to me you are twisting information to suit your own needs. Naughty naughty.

Loose the attitude and your preconceptions. I AM looking for the basis of truth to the situation NOT an entanglement of biases and preconceptions.

The Betsy Ross flag has been on display in every form and situation. One even hung in the gymnasium at my high school. Loose the attitude old gurl.

Take your meds... Yes the profile is correct. Ottawalks is a friend from Ottawa who has a youtube feed... Talk a walk into the 21st century and the network society.

So you would rather use some blatantly biased info on your blog than do your own research. Another Naughty for you. Good for your colourful gym in high school but how does that mean that it was incorrectly used by CBC. Another Naughty

Thanks to my good health, I have no need for meds. Did you know that I worked for a very large computer company writing software so I think I could ride the net better, longer than you? I just don't tolerate listening to those who are nuts. You should do the same.

Get over your "naughties" you self righteous pretender. My Gym had the Betsy Ross, the 36 star 48 star and 50 star historical flags of the United States. Blatantly biased lies with a PM who wears blackface then hides out except for pre-scripted statements. I have one direct trucker source and one resident of Ottawa... do you wish to be a reliable source or just an off to the side heckler? I give you the floor to produce reliable information to share with the members in here or just be a pettifogging detractor.

Still working at age 79??? Canadian pensions must not be adequate to meet the needs of the elderly. I am of that rare breed of self employed who work from home/office or out getting my hands dirty. I have managed to pick up a tropical disease and drag it back with me to snowy Iowa where it is seldom seen and doctors had to dig to even find it. "World Traveler" does not belong in my job description.

That is a joke. I think you should have a look at your own politicians first. Those who live in glass houses shouldn't throw stones. I have given you reliable information and I am not biased as you seem to be

I retired at 58 yrs old with no pension at all.

Who gives a rat's arse about your flags? Who gives a rat's arse about where you have been. I have been to Africa... so what? Stick to the issues.

Sometime I will post the pictures of my 25th Birthday Party on the Nile River... In the meantime I will go back to refinishing and upholstering my French Provincial dining set. Maybe you should get some meds for your agitated condition.

Typical liberal... Everyone else has biases, is a racist, a misogynist or a Fascist quibbling over the validity of sources. Go about your day as I shall mine intent upon showing a profit by the setting of the Sun.
