A Salute to Our Truckers
02/15/2022
What is happening with the truckers is not terrorism and should never justify the same state response that insurrections like the FLQ crisis brought to bear-namely Canadian soldiers and police carrying out mass arrests on the streets of Montreal.
I've
searched media for actual incidents of real violence from the truckers and I
can't find any. The average Vancouver, Toronto, or Montreal gang fight or bar
brawl causes more trips to the emergency room than thousands of truckers
protesting. If the trucker protests thus far can be qualified as violent, then
any two regular, ordinary citizens protesting would fit the definition of
insurrection or terrorism.
