Here's a Twitter Space voice room of dead-enders bloviating, whining and deluding each other. Kinda fun. They keep saying they're going to "shoot" (remove) trolls, but Care hasn't been deleted yet and I haven't either. They are nutz, very SovCit. Will they elect Scir as their leader? Turn it down, Scir!

Re: "Freedom Convoy" Canadian Trucker Protest against COVID Vaccine Mandates and Other Grievances
If you can withdrawal all you money from an ATM, even multiple days etc.... face it, you're too poor to influence many banks. A girl I know at work was kid of impressed by some little phuck boy whose social media was basically slefies of him holding out a stack of money. It iwas all $100 bills, and not just a few on the top, it would still be at most a few thousand dollars.
So I asked her, is she impressed by that? I told her I'm a legit millionaire, I can buy any of those fancy and surely rented or borrowed cars he poses in front of with check. And yet, I hardly ever have more than $40 cash on me (what I take from an ATM when I need pocket money) and I drive a normal boring car even though I can choose anything the motorcar company make. People on IG trying to brag about how rich they are are in fact showing why they'll never have more than you can get from a hich limit ATM in a few days. Because they think $10,000 is a lot of money.

Re: "Freedom Convoy" Canadian Trucker Protest against COVID Vaccine Mandates and Other Grievances
These people are nucking futz! Some woman just described the vax as a "bioweapon". Now they are going on about "the vaccine injured" that took the vax "without informed consent" and how they are going to sue and own the world. Lots of crazy here.

Re: "Freedom Convoy" Canadian Trucker Protest against COVID Vaccine Mandates and Other Grievances
One woman tells a heartfelt story about her protester boyfriend facing verbal abuse, and fearing that the protest is going to implode if they don’t figure out a plan. Then there’s the sound of someone flushing a toilet.

Re: "Freedom Convoy" Canadian Trucker Protest against COVID Vaccine Mandates and Other Grievances
Heard this on the Twitter Spaces call and looked into it -- This dude says he's raised $150K for the fruckers and put it in his PERSONAL account. When he went to withdraw "40 $2500 bank drafts" for 40 fruckers who are out of funds and about to leave, they told him his account is frozen and they'll get back to him in 3 business days.
Druthers News & Information
Shawn Jason from Druthers had his bank account frozen today after trying to get money for the truckers. To help, send etransfers to a new account at info@druthers.net. Big thanks!
Now dude is doing a "press conference"

ETA: Today's message on FB:
It's like the old joke from The Producers where the lady says, "You want me to make the check out to CASH? What a strange name for a play!"

Lol. If 40 $2500 orders hit any account that SHOULD hit the Panic button for the bank.

Re: "Freedom Convoy" Canadian Trucker Protest against COVID Vaccine Mandates and Other Grievances
Canada's Minister of Finance is being very clear.
The goofballs on the frucker call get more and more extreme. Some woman from the US was wrong, and wrong, and wrong about almost every "fact" she mentioned but they lapped it up. Some dude said his family had 2 Canadian premiers and he KNEW that Trudeau and government officials just got a placebo, not the bioweapon. The level of lying and delusion is just nutz. Back in the 90s when we were part of the kickoff of consumer use of the web, we worried about this. There was no way around it but there was discussion at that time that all internet use would be connected to a consumer's account. It raised far too many civil liberty issues, but regret we didn't all work more on some version of that. Have advocated Twitter having two parts, a gated area that was only with named registered users, and the sewer. It would cut so much out of the mix.

Now Hannity and Geraldo are having a slug fest over whether these truckers are good guys are bad guys. I don't know why I tuned into this...

The Canadian Civil Liberties Association came out against the use of the Emergency Act.

Not seeing anything from the US ACLU but it's Canada I guess.
BBC has a deep dive into the Act at https://www.bbc.com/news/world-us-canada-60381096. The Act only lasts for 30 days; the fruckers clearly haven't read or understood it.
Fascinating to consider the balance of civil liberties with the economic and security issues the fruckers and protesters have created. While I get the CCLA's position, considering this has been going on for a long time with no real leader and massive disruption, I'm for using the Emergency Act if that's what Canada wants to do. It's their business. Does anybody have a counter opinion, that the Act shouldn't be passed in Parliament?

TV interview with the very new head of CCLA, Noa Mendelsohn Aviv.CCLA STATEMENT ON THE EMERGENCIES ACT
By CCLA February 15, 2022
Home » PRESS RELEASES » CCLA Statement on the Emergencies Act
The federal government has not met the threshold necessary to invoke the Emergencies Act. This law creates a high and clear standard for good reason: the Act allows government to bypass ordinary democratic processes. This standard has not been met.
The Emergencies Act can only be invoked, according to its own terms, when a situation “seriously endangers the lives, health or safety of Canadians and is of such proportions or nature as to exceed the capacity or authority of a province to deal with it,” or “seriously threatens the ability of the Government of Canada to preserve the sovereignty, security and territorial integrity of Canada” and when the situation “cannot be effectively dealt with under any other law of Canada.”
The Emergencies Act is there to address these kinds of extreme threats to Canada, not to protect the economy.
Governments regularly deal with difficult situations, and do so using powers granted to them by democratically elected representatives. Emergency legislation should not be normalized. It threatens our democracy and our civil liberties.
Video is here: https://www.cp24.com/video?clipId=2382262Canadian Civil Liberties Association @cancivlib·Feb 9
We are thrilled to announce the appointment of Noa Mendelsohn Aviv (@NMACanada) as the CCLA's new Executive Director and General Counsel.
Congratulations Noa, wishing you the best of success in your new role!

Canada trucker protest: What powers will Emergencies Act give Trudeau?
Published 15 hours ago
Prime Minister Justin Trudeau has invoked the never-used Emergencies Act to give his government enhanced authority in response to the anti-vaccine mandate protests and blockades gripping Canada. The law will grant Mr Trudeau's government extraordinary powers for 30 days - including the power to prohibit public assembly, travel and the use of specific property. The move comes amid weeks of disruptive - and expensive - demonstrations against Covid-19 restrictions.

Re: "Freedom Convoy" Canadian Trucker Protest against COVID Vaccine Mandates and Other Grievances
Original post here was an Ambien rant, but my point holds. The drug lord stacks, well that's another problem. That's too much cash to be usable. If someone without a banking history of large cash transactions just found $1 million cash in the woods, it wouldn't be much use to them. Free groceries for life? Its not like it can be out into a bank or used to buy anything legal for more than $10k.RTH10260 wrote: ↑Tue Feb 15, 2022 11:44 pmtsk tsk tsk - now let me show off....Gregg wrote: ↑Tue Feb 15, 2022 1:36 pm If you can withdrawal all you money from an ATM, even multiple days etc.... face it, you're too poor to influence many banks.

Being the Public Defender of anything means that a lot of the time you are representing scumbags who deserve to lose in court because scumbags deserve lawyers too.
IMHO, they have a role to play and they are playing it. It doesn't mean I don't hope they get their *sses kicked in court.
