I’m no expert on the Canadian trucker issue, but a few things seem fairly obvious to me. <\/p>\n
First, the truckers have every right to protest. That’s one of our most sacred rights, and it must be protected, no matter what point of view the protesters are coming from. <\/p>\n
But just as with Black Lives Matter, the right to protest ends at causing public mischief. It was wrong for BLM to riot, set fires and topple police cars, and it’s wrong for the truckers to block bridges. <\/p>\n
I’m also very concerned about these efforts to block and\/or redirect funds that people have sent to support the truckers. That sounds wrong in so many ways, and sounds like one more piece of evidence in the growing government \/ tech tyranny. <\/p>\n
The other issue of concern is the complicity of the legacy media with the government agenda. When I was a kid, the media prided itself on being the skeptic — always suspicious of power, looking for evidence of corruption. Now, the legacy media has gone all-in with this government \/ tech \/ media \/ elite worldview, and has become its mouthpiece. <\/p>\n
The good news is that trust in the media is very low. It should be lower, but it’s very low. <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
