"When the foppish dictator of Canada decided to crack down on truckers whose greatest crime was double parking in Ottawa, because those people were declared to be defective, deplorable, and unvaccinated, it was no problem at all to freeze their money. In fact, it was super easy, barely an inconvenience."
Interesting - what I read had the trade disruptions as being more serious than "double parking":
"Hours after a court ordered demonstrators to stop blocking access to the Ambassador Bridge in Windsor, Ontario, protesters were still there late Friday night, but in lesser numbers. Police officers were standing by but had made no move to clear the area of demonstrators."
"The injunction from Chief Justice Geoffrey Morawetz of the Ontario Superior Court was meant to open a way for traffic to move freely across the bridge, which carries roughly a third of U.S.-Canada trade, and which has been blocked for days by protesters."[1]
Were the New York Times and Ontario Superior Court pulling my leg?
There were also countless stories of the terrorists keeping everyone up all night with their noise, blocking access to businesses and other things but we all know Steve's MO by now.
My God, you should read what you wrote out loud. “Terrorists” were partying too loud and blocking businesses with their trucks. Did they make mean faces and stick out their tongues too?
3 weeks of no sleep. Lost businesses. Billions in lost revenue. Besides if you can pretend they were just traffic violations you can't be angry when someone pushes it all the way to the other end. If you expect better discourse maybe you should start with yourself.
