Children

So, the news yesterday was that many/some of the truckers in the Ottawa convoy have children living in their trucks. The decisive police force feels that this adds another layer of complexity to the task of dismantling the encampment.

I shouldn't have to say this, and it shouldn't be true, but we all know that if those were indigenous truckers with indigenous children, those kids would be whisked into foster care so quickly, soooo quickly, that journalists wouldn't even have time to snap one blurry picture.

Bloody cowards hiding behind kids.
And then there's this:
A member of the Canadian Olympic women's hockey team wears an N-95 mask under her hockey mask. The caption says 'The Canadian team is playing FREAKING OLYMPIC HOCKEY in face masks. I never want to hear another dude bro complain about having to wear one in the grocery store ever again.'
