You obviously do not have clue what democracy is. You are openly promoting coups in Canada and the US to overthrow democratically elected governments to replace them with mob rule. People like You are tyrants in waiting. Justin Trudeau won the last democratic election just a few months ago fair and square just like Joe Biden did last yea…

People like You are tyrants in waiting. Justin Trudeau won the last democratic election just a few months ago fair and square just like Joe Biden did last year in the US where Donald Trump lost both the popular vote and the electoral college. You can either respect those facts, then You are on the side of democracy and freedom or You are an enemy of democracy and freedom.
Bernd, the truckers in Canada are not attempting a coup, or trying to overthrow the government; likewise protestors in the United States. They do not want mob rule. They want freedom from the tyranny of mandates and other unconstitutional abuses of power. In the US system power is supposed to flow from the people to the government, i.e. the government has only the power granted by the people it governs. Yet government at all levels; local, city, state and federal, especially in the so-called blue states, is claiming and exerting power that it does not have and has not been given. The truckers in Canada and the like minded in the U.S. just want their freedoms back. You seem to believe that democracy and freedom come from the government. True democracy and freedom comes from the people. We fought the Revolutionary War to overthrow the tyranny of the British government. Canada never fought that war.
A vaccine mandate for people who travel regularly through the entire continent and are therefore ideal spreaders of new covid variants is a necessary measure to fight the pandemic. It's no "tyranny" or "unconstitutional abuse". A weeklong blockade of supply lines and entire cities on the other hand is tyranny against the many by the few. It's a far bigger intervention into other peoples lives the a vaccine mandate. People cannot work, people cannot leave the house to work or shop, emergency services can't get through.....This is no peaceful protest. The opposite is true. There are numerous cases where peaceful protesters against the convoy and journalists are harassed by extremists amongst the truckers. The other day there was footage on TV where a trucker tried to push a bicyclists with his truck out of his way. I'm not saying all the truckers are violent extremists (most truckers in the country are against this blockades anyway and only suffer the consequences like losing income, which makes them victims of the illegal protests), but the time has arrived when originally well intended truckers should see what's truly going on here and leave to let the police deal with the hard core extremists in their midst who have phantasies of overthrowing a democratically elected government. What if everybody who is unhappy with a government decision resorts to the same tactics? Holding the entire economy and country hostage, blocking vital supply lines until the government gives in and the group gets its way? Say for example the truckers get their will and the vaccine mandate gets scrapped and the majority who supports this mandates uses the same tactics to get them back? Or environmentalists asking for tougher measures against climate change? Can't You see what this kind of street tyranny and mob rule can do to any country and its people let alone democracy itself? It would be the end of majority decisions and the start of the tyranny of those who have the most bullying power.
