00:00:00.000 freedom convoy 2.0 is going to descend on ottawa january 22nd buddy says a lot of wild stuff in
00:00:08.100 this video but as someone who interviewed over 300 people at the trucker convoy in 2022 i personally
00:00:14.720 don't think this is a good idea but let's talk about this convoy in general i believe it started
00:00:19.260 with this post that has over 14k likes now talking about hey guys i heard rumors of various sources
00:00:26.540 we're going to protest trudeau's prorogation my immediate response was wouldn't this just
00:00:32.220 effectively be a protest for pierre polyev and the conservative party like we might as well just wear
00:00:38.100 conservative party shirts if we're going to protest getting trudeau out that just helps the
00:00:42.820 conservative part and for those unaware pierre polyev and the conservative party have not once
00:00:47.540 stood up for the people who got arrested at the trucker convoy for protesting vaccine mandates
00:00:53.580 those legal ramifications are still going on today people standing up for bodily autonomy
00:00:59.140 getting slammed still in the court but anyway one of the accounts promoting this government corrupt
00:01:04.300 he responded to my comment he said it's pretty straightforward polyev will be the next prime
00:01:09.080 minister whether we like it or not whether we support him or not the sooner he gets into office
00:01:12.940 and fucks things up the better people need to come to terms with the fact that government can't save
00:01:17.620 them from government so he's agreeing with me that this protest would effectively just help polyev but
00:01:23.380 he says no we need to do it quicker because that will help the people realize it's all got a really
00:01:29.100 weird vibe to it they've already set up a website apparently i guess to collect emails to collect data
00:01:34.640 apparently there's a fundraiser as well and this is coming from someone who has been in the right wing
00:01:40.120 in canada for years and i'm telling you this stinks this thing stinks it doesn't smell very good
00:01:45.680 but let's go back to that original video that this guy posted that a violent member of the group
00:01:50.740 diagonal has removed his ankle monitor to evade police and is reported to be heading to ottawa to
00:01:56.600 participate now that i'm re-watching this i'm realizing that this is just basically left-wing
00:02:01.760 like liberal clickbait stuff but uh that's totally outrageous um i have performed at the diagonal like
00:02:10.360 tour over the summer so i know those guys pretty well and a lot of them are making fun of this
00:02:16.820 convoy and they think it's stupid for the reasons i mentioned that this would just help pierre polyev
00:02:22.440 but i love the ankle monitor thing because i don't think there's anyone who currently has an ankle
00:02:27.300 monitor who was arrested like jeremy mckenzie the leader of diagonal beat all of his charges by the way
00:02:32.800 anyway that's just an outrageous lie that someone on twitter pulled out of his ass and then this guy's
00:02:38.300 just repeating but what actually is this convoy i think it's one of two things number one this is
00:02:42.780 either an op by the conservative party of canada to collect data and to build up a bigger fuck trudeau
00:02:48.740 sentiment as they have in the past because it's worked for them or number two now that i see this
00:02:52.720 weird diagonal misinformation i'm like okay maybe this is an op by the liberal party to try and set up
00:02:57.500 some false flag or some nonsense to try and make trudeau relevant again by you know creating a right-wing
00:03:05.020 boogeyman and you know the third option could be that maybe they're actually just collecting data
00:03:09.440 right now based on how people will respond to a viral post about another convoy just to see what
00:03:15.700 the appetite is like for people to uh to do that again i'm sure the people in power in this country
00:03:21.780 probably didn't like that conservatives and liberals didn't like that so they want to see you
00:03:26.520 know what the appetite is but finally a reason why i think this convoy is totally absurd is
00:03:30.900 people forget how desperate people were during 2022 where you couldn't even go to a restaurant
00:03:37.820 i have a friend who didn't even care about politics who came with me to the convoy because he had nothing
00:03:42.540 else to do as an unvaccinated person okay like job can't go to a restaurant can't go to can't do
00:03:49.500 anything if you're unvaccinated back then and let's not underestimate the sacrifice it was for blue
00:03:56.520 color truck drivers to give up their jobs and livelihood to like live on wellington street for
00:04:03.420 three weeks that's how desperate the times were that these hard-working blue-collar men did that
00:04:10.020 uh that's not the same environment now it's not the same circumstances that would allow you know
00:04:16.240 thousands of trucks to show up in ottawa like it did in 2022 sorry if that disappoints you but that's
00:04:21.740 just how i see it
