And in case you're wondering?

I am NOT living under "martial law", as the American far-right "news" services would have their audiences believe.

I was thinking about how false parallels were being made.

It was nice seeing the PM state that the blockade would end and trucks could cease being a traffic jam for miles and hours.

Well, the occupation is arguably martial law, given that the police are doing the bidding of far-right thugs.

I'm angered and scared to have to continue to admit that this might well be the case.

But at least it's not the kind of martial law that those propaganda outlets want their audience to believe exists. Right?

You're just saying that to appease your fascist Canadian government overlords who are keeping you down!

I did read yesterday(?) about a weapons cache being seized by the RCMP, I believe it was 18 firearms, LOTS of ammunition including high-capacity magazines, and I believe some body armor.

This is why I get most of my news from non-American sources first, my country's media is not to be trusted.
