The truckers protest in Ottawa is out of hand

I think we can all agree that it's bigger than a fringe minority at this point. 

I think you're wrong.

I think we can all agree that it's bigger than a fringe minority at this point.  Just because trudeau says it is, doesn't make it so!!!

I think what people also need to realize is that the Conservative Party of Canada are not like the Republicans in the US. They are Social Conservatives. They aren't far right, they are right centre. The Liberals are left centre. There are other parties that are further left and further right. Prior to the Liberal Gov't in Ottawa, we had Stephen Harper's Conservative gov't in power. There were differences but our social programs were pretty much identical.

The Conservative Party shot themselves in the foot years back when they joined with the Reform Party of Canada who were the further right often Christian, conservatives. There has been of inner fighting in the party ever since.

There is also the People's Party of Canada which is far right.

Many of the protestors are part of the "hard" right conservatives group within the UCP or the People's Party of Canada. The interesting thing is that they are starting to split votes within the Conservative groups making it harder for them to get a majority in parliament. I have a friend who is an avid gun enthusiast. He and his friends were having a FB discussion on whether it would be beneficial to collectively vote Conservative or PPC. If they vote PPC, they are splitting the conservative vote making it more difficult for the Conservatives to win or win with a majority.

People like my friend "Dave" watch way too much Fox news and Tucker Carlson who has absolutely no idea how Canada works politically. He refers to right and left like we have 2 extreme major parties on opposite ends of the spectrum and the Liberals and Conservatives are not. In many respects, the Conservative gov't of Canada is more social than the US Democrats.

Nope. I’m saying it’s not a riot. I consider a protest peaceful if there is no destruction, burning, looting, destroying. What middle ground are you referring to?  I didn’t say it was a quiet protest. I said it was a peaceful protest. And I’m not wrong. 

"Personally I think it’s members of..." not anything about "the truckers not being a fringe minority".

She said she would HIT THEM. She later clarified while she wouldn't KILL THEM she would still HIT THEM.

Ur welcome.

She CLARIFIED: "I'd move them out of my way by slowly moving my car forward. I NEVER said KILL!! Geez."
Not "hit them"
Hit them implies with speed and destruction. What she said does not.  

And once again, no, you did not post her words in their entirety. A clarification is NOT beside the point, as you are suddenly claiming. If it wasn't when I didn't include the clarification, then it isn't when YOU didn't include it.

Just for once, you should hold yourself and your side to a set of standards. It's dishonest to demand them from others, but refuse to hold yourself to them.

Stop being so damn dishonest.

Yes "hit them". That's what she said. Her "clarification" didn't negate her original intent. To use her 2 ton vehicle to get her way by "moving people" out of her path (hit them) when they were protesting.

That's sick and it's sicker that you're still here defending it.
