Check out this mornings post on YELLOW VEST CANADA
As I’m facing yet another sleepless night, pondering on the plight of our beautiful country, I have cone to the following conclusions:
1- We have passed the point for political debate. Your opinion and my opinion are IRRELEVANT. It is merely feeding the ego. Who’s right, who’s wrong...WHO CARES! This bantering back and forth will NEVER yield productive results.
2- it doesn’t matter what political party you or I voted for, nor the province in which we reside. We are ALL living this !!!!!! reality REGARDLESS. So for goodness sake, STOP making it about the West vs the East, the French vs the English, the red vs the blue! IT DOESN’T MATTER. I repeat: IT DOESN’T MATTER. Pointing the finger, bickering, insulting DOESN’T solve a damn thing. My kids see this more clearly than some adults on here, !!!!!!.
3- The French movement, Les Gilets Jaunes, has inspired us to don a yellow vest and to stand up for OUR rights too. Like you, I am inspired and full of passion and resolve to preserve our Canada ‘The True North, strong and free’. However, STOP comparing the two movements! We are two very different and distinct countries! They are united by ONE official language and can be reunited in huge numbers within four hours. In Canada, our land is VAST. It takes us MANY hours to drive from one end of our nation to the other. Not only do we have anglophones and francophones, but Indigenous Nations. We have Immigrants from all over the world living on our beautiful land. Our culture is diverse and eclectic. This DEFINES us as a nation. To compare Canada with France is unrealistic and will forever leave us comparing notes, and feeling inadequate.
3- STOP hating on fellow Yellow Vest members. STOP IT. We are NOT in primary school. We are over 114K members on here. My opinion may differ from yours. Your opinion may differ from mine. ACCEPT that, and MOVE ON without insults and the like. We are LOSING members because of this and we absolutely CAN’T AFFORD to lose a single one. Never EVER lose sight of that. Strength in numbers has never rung truer than it does right now. UNITED we are STRONG! DIVIDED we will FALL!!! What will it take for you to ‘GET’ this??
4- This movement is not all about the pipeline. Is it important? HELL YES. However, each province has its own woes and they are EQUALLY important. What people need to remember is this: the pipeline, the fisheries, farming and logging etc will NEVER be addressed if we don’t focus on the PRIMARY issues of our nation as a whole FIRST: �� UN Migration Compact. �� CO2 tax. �� Bills C-48, C-69 and C-71. �� Government corruption. ��JT!
5- You need to realize that ALL political parties in our current government structure are CORRUPT. Blue, red, green or orange, IT DOESN’T MATTER. Is this a hard pill to swallow? YOU BETCHA! The NWO has been in the works for well over a HUNDRED years, and more. For those of us who have been researching for years, the evidence is available, plain as day. So for goodness sakes, STOP making this about one political party or another. You are wasting precious time and energy on something that is truly irrelevant! STAY FOCUSED ON THE PRIMARY ISSUES. When we topple this current government, and ONLY then, resume your individual grievances and whatnots. I can’t stress how IMPORTANT this is for our group. Keep it classy, respectful and dignified. Anything else will alienate other people from joining us. WE NEED NUMBERS, AND FAST. Do you even comprehend how IMPORTANT this is??!!
6- This may shock some, but nonetheless, here it is: WE ARE AT WAR. I repeat: WE ARE AT WAR. Never again in my lifetime will I stand for something so important. Never have the stakes been this high. Never have I faced such a fight, and I’ve been through many battles in my lifetime. I’m sure many of you can say the same too! For those of us who have gone deep into that rabbit hole, what is coming is incredibly scary. Some days, I curse the day I decided to go in deeper and dig, inquire, discover what I have in the last 7-8 years. I long for those carefree, blissful days basking in pure ignorance at times. I also believe that knowledge is a powerful thing. So I will face death before my three kids and my future grandkids are left to deal with some BS that could have been avoided by any kind of effort on my part. I know you feel the same way too! So for goodness sakes, let’s UNITE AS ONE AND GET THIS DONE!!!
A new year. Renewed focus. Onward and forward. Unity is our strength. Canada is worth fighting for. Let this fight be our resolve. Our children and future generations depend on you and I. May 2019 be the year that the Davids beat the Goliaths in our history booksNothing has been fixed since 2008, it was just pushed into the future0 -

I may well get into trouble for posting this, but this does make me think that, in addition to the 'report' and 'spam' buttons, MSE really should have a 'help needed' button, that refers a poster to a mental health professional for urgent intervention.
Some people clearly need help. Unfortunately I believe it is beyond the scope of this forum to provide such help, and I strongly suspect that the individuals concerned have not yet reached the point that they realise they need help.0 -
So what is the pothead actually going to do?0

If there was such a plot as a NWO who had the power to remove governments and impose new leaders, they could quite easily silence any such protests and force these changes. This is more pathetic flag waving, if there was a single world government, one nation instead of 250+ then so what? It'd be a lot better than petty arguments because you happened to be born in country x and a neighbour was born in country y - there is no difference between us as humans!
Sam Vimes' Boots Theory of Socioeconomic Unfairness:
People are rich because they spend less money. A poor man buys $10 boots that last a season or two before he's walking in wet shoes and has to buy another pair. A rich man buys $50 boots that are made better and give him 10 years of dry feet. The poor man has spent $100 over those 10 years and still has wet feet.

An even harder pill to swallow is that your movement is corrupt.Malthusian wrote: »Perhaps Kay Burley was getting abuse because she was asking all the female protestors whether the Brexit vote wouldn't have happened if they'd had sex with their husbands more often.
After the german wife of Nigel Farage revealed in 2017 that they had been separated for years, but he had only recently moved out, then it answered a lot of questions.0 -
