The wholesale adoption of pandemic rules was really wearing thin by the time the convoy took place. When Trudeau gave the interview where he called them racist and other things it really felt tone deaf to me. I know I’m not alone in neither welcoming them nor pretending I didn’t understand their frustration. I was not a fan of their tactics but I mean only in Ottawa could a protest pit truckers loudly partying on Parliament Hill against residents who were mostly complaining about the noise.
There was ONE guy with a Nazi flag wearing a face covering (why? The protesters were anti mask) who was jeered out of the crowd and disappeared into a hotel. He was NOT with the convoy and definitely NOT supported by the protesters.
One is enough IF he was actually part of the protest. He wasnt. There were even people in the convoy protest who offered a cash reward for his identity and no one ever found out who he was. Maybe coincidence, maybe not, but he disappeared up the steps into the hotel that the RCMP were staying at. The protesters werent staying there. So who was he?
And no, ONE person in a protest does not mean you can paint the thousands of others there with the same brush. If that were true you would have noticed that there was a counter protest just a few blocks away where ONE person in the crowd was carrying a hammer and sickle flag. Does that mean that crowd support Communists? Hardly. Chrystia Freeland held up a symbol of the Nazi party and then quickly deleted it (https://www.cbc.ca/news/politics/freeland-nationalist-scarf-1.6372995) Does that mean the Liberals support Nazis? Hardly.
Okay everybody, protest over. Time to go home. Thousands of you have travelled hundreds of miles to be here but there’s no other choice. A Nazi was spotted scurrying around on the outskirts and the TV cameras found him.

One is enough. That’s like saying there was one rapist.
