00:00:00.000 We're here in Niagara-on-the-Lake in Niagara, Ontario,
00:00:02.760 and we're talking about the Freedom Convoy.
00:00:05.020 Let's see how that goes.
00:00:08.220 What do you think of the government's treatment
00:00:09.980 of the Freedom Convoy protesters?
00:00:11.920 Was it justified?
00:00:12.920 No.
00:00:13.760 Nah.
00:00:14.600 No?
00:00:15.440 I don't think so.
00:00:16.720 Yeah, I'd honestly probably say no.
00:00:18.400 No.
00:00:19.100 No?
00:00:19.940 No.
00:00:20.440 No?
00:00:20.940 It doesn't sound right.
00:00:21.840 No, not at all.
00:00:23.100 It was Canadians standing up for their rights
00:00:25.100 against the totalitarian regimes
00:00:27.560 that the government was trying to bring down upon them.
00:00:29.520 think they should have had some conversation with them or treated the same as they do any other
00:00:33.520 protests in ottawa right what happened to freedom in canada it disappeared overnight we didn't live
00:00:39.760 in ottawa we didn't know it was we we just saw it on tv so i was yeah get them out of there i would
00:00:45.760 say no for sure um again like as somebody who was there all i saw was peacefulness um we were there
00:00:52.320 in like the beginning of it so people were handing out free food to others we were supporting all the
00:00:57.200 businesses in ottawa i get a lot of people had a problem with the noise and i understand people
00:01:02.000 who live there but it was also we were fighting for the freedom of people living in canada so we
00:01:07.360 were trying to obviously make a difference i don't think it's fair to prosecute people who come
00:01:11.920 together and protest and exercise our right to protest as canadian citizens what do you think
00:01:16.240 they should have done spoken to the people heard them heard them out and then negotiated from there
00:01:24.000 Was he justified though in also freezing their bank accounts and arresting like some 200 of them?
00:01:28.880 When it comes to something like a convoy where you're expressing an opinion or matters of opinion,
00:01:34.080 I think that freezing people's bank accounts might be a little extreme.
00:01:39.360 I don't think so. I think it was a little much.
00:01:43.120 Oh, that's messed up. That's messed up. I don't think that's right at all.
00:01:46.240 What do you think it says about our government that they wouldn't even talk to these protesters? 0.66
00:01:50.320 They're a bunch of yellow-bellied carrots. 1.00
00:01:53.440 Liberals are nothing but a bunch of jerks. 1.00
00:01:56.080 I'm not going to comment on that because it's not friendly on TV or whatever you're doing here. 1.00
00:02:05.120 That they're not paying attention to the needs of Canadian citizens. I think if there's that much
00:02:09.200 of an uproar of people and you see that many people gathering something needs to change
00:02:13.440 to just kick them out and like my parents were there when the police started pushing in and it
00:02:18.000 it got bad and it was one of the scariest things I've ever seen because everybody was being peaceful
00:02:23.320 and it was the police who were pushing people away and I think that was scary and I think again
00:02:28.080 like yeah it's all it says is all of these people are coming together and gather I think the
00:02:32.040 government should take a hint and see that maybe it's for a reason. In a free country everyone has
00:02:36.480 the right to protest but the way they treated that protest was very very heavy-handed and we don't
00:02:43.740 see them as heavy-handed with other protests like especially like the pro-Palestinian protests the
00:02:47.860 in Montreal that those lasted for like over a year there were about 12 protests and some of
00:02:53.400 them were extremely violent and for those protests they made 109 arrests overall but for the freedom
00:03:00.620 convoy protest that lasted three weeks they made about almost 200 arrests so is there do you think
00:03:08.600 that they're overreacting to something like that yes I definitely think there's protest bias I think
00:03:15.980 It's interesting when you can make a comparison like that, and it could indicate that there's some sort of bias, right? 0.56
00:03:23.120 The woman who actually organized the event and got the funding for it has been fighting legal battles for three years now.
00:03:29.380 And they're still making accusations and stuff like that. 1.00
00:03:33.240 But she's actually facing seven years in prison for organizing that event. 0.94
00:03:39.000 it's merely just like looking at seven years and it's absolutely it's asinine like it it makes us
00:03:45.780 look like a laughing stock and rightfully i think we deserve to be looked at as a laughing stock
00:03:52.760 because we just voted them back in so it doesn't sound precautionary yeah i can imagine i i'm
00:03:57.820 honestly not surprised whether that's a good or bad thing i'll leave it up to you to you know judge
00:04:02.760 But sadly, I'm not surprised, but I definitely do, you know, recommend that a lot of young girls look up to women that stand up for things that they believe in. 0.89
00:04:13.320 They are obviously in the wrong.
00:04:15.580 I mean, why would you destroy somebody's life over this unless you want to control?
00:04:20.620 So as a visitor here in Canada, I go on my Facebook page and guess what I see in my scroll?
00:04:28.620 Content not allowed in Canada.
00:04:30.840 Blocked.
00:04:31.280 Content, not allowed in Canada, blocked, over and over and over again.
00:04:36.940 What is happening to the freedom here in Canada?
00:04:41.040 What is going on?
00:04:43.360 Why are the people putting up with this?
00:04:46.020 Well, we're really nice and polite in Canada.
00:04:49.700 I see a lot of conservatives who don't want to speak up.
00:04:54.580 like we're so afraid now because it's happened for so long that we're afraid that we'll be
00:05:00.780 discriminated against we'll lose our jobs and a lot of people actually have because they've spoken
00:05:04.700 up against this there's so many people that have had to move to the states because they spoke up
00:05:08.600 against this so like just think about this like during the next election cycle that the government
00:05:13.940 when someone questions the government's authority they freeze their bank account and they arrest
00:05:19.500 them so like think about that and like judge your vote based on that like how
00:05:26.460 they respond to people questioning their authority that was really good to have
00:05:30.240 some differing opinions there and great to have the American side of it as well
