And the Nonsense Continues

[dewline]

Apparently the "freedom" convoy crowd is gathering in Confederation Park tomorrow as a prelude to forcing some shopping mall or other to host their maskless spree.

Yeah, this is an obedience-coercion stunt.

More to the point, they don't plan to go away like they ought to.

So what if I'm working from home? Other people can't, and they're stuck coping with this crap.

I have not heard the term obedience-coercion before, what does it mean?

Also UGH, this sucks, I wish the antivaxxers would stay home and stop spreading their germs, or better yet, get vaccinated.

I continue to marvel at how, when we protest (on Saturdays, usually), the right yells at us to get a job, and yet these people can somehow get an indefinite amount of vacation time to harass minimum wage workers and homeless people.

Case in point:

Yeah. You saw that report re: the Shepherds of Good Hope too, didn't you?

Re: Case in point:

I did. And the reports from the paramedics where at least one trauma patient died because these assholes blocked the ambulances.

I haven't got confirmation of the instance of the patient dying en route to hospital, but it seems there's some truth as far as ambulances being targeted...

Jesus fuck.

Today I read that no one's been ticketed or towed because the cops fear "inciting" the mob. I guess next time we do a protest we shouldn't be so chill.
