For two weeks, the 18-wheelers, the semis, the tractors and the pick-up trucks streamed through the snow and ice into the center of Ottawa, the Canadian capital.
They came from across the country. Vaxxed, unvaxxed, white, black, Chinese, Sikh, Indian, alone or with their wives and kids. They huddled around campfires.

Been watching this from the Netherlands through the live feeds from folks in the street. One of those hardly says anything and has no commentary on events, he just shows you what is happening as he visits the same intersections every day.

And then you have another, for whom reality beyond the purview of his or her indoctrinated mind simply does not exists, who finds him-or-her-self standing in the midst of a violent racist uprising and occupation. Reason has completely absconded.
It’s weird, fascinating and scary all at the same time — I mean, of course, to behold the sight of one so out of touch with reality. ‘They,’ without knowing it themselves, are the real danger in our midst. I do not say that lightly. And there are many of them. Half of the population or close to it.
