Tucker questions the left’s overall response to the trucker protest in Canada. Where’s the care for the working class and human rights they spouted to get themselves elected?
“Watch what happens when actual workers, working people from working families who constitute the working class, actually come together as a group to protest how things are going — what happens then?”
“Does the ‘intellectual class’ greet these workers as heroes? Throw a parade, listen intently to their stories? Does NPR do a sympathetic feature on them?”
“Or do self-described progressives recoil in revulsion and horror at the grubbiness of the people who, as we used to say, work for a living? Do liberals immediately denounce them as nazis and call for their suppression by force?”
“The very same finance ghouls who cheered lockdowns for two solid years are now ‘deeply concerned’ that small businesses might be hurt by the trucker protest. Hilarious. It’d be interesting, by the way, to poll small business owners in Ottawa to see what they think. No one’s doing that poll, of course.”
“Instead, they found an easier way. Justin Trudeau has just ordered police to shut the whole thing down. How do you do that? How do you stop a truck protest? Simple. You seize their fuel.”
“The very same people who told us we had to defund the police are now telling the police to seize fuel from working class Canadians who are trying to say alive in arctic temperatures.”
“As they used to say in the 1960s, scratch a liberal and you will find a fascist. That was a Black Panthers slogan, actually. In this case, they were absolutely right. According to Justin Trudeau, possessing gasoline in the city of Ottawa is now a crime.”
“No one in Canada’s government or the media in Canada, which is mostly controlled by the government, is engaging with any of the arguments of people like that. Instead, they’ve gone directly to force, as crumbling regimes always do. They don’t have an argument to make. All they have is police power, and they’re using them.”
