This doesn’t actually deserve to be a sticky. For context there actually was a protest about the road conditions as our roads have been absolutely shit kicked and there is no money to fix them.
I used to be in road building in BC. Our roads are dangerous.
Correct. Except, that's what they run with? A small protest, instead of the one that's very obviously happening? Same thing as censorship. How does this need to be explained to anyone?
You’re ignoring local context. Also, look at the date of the article, the convoy for freedom was only starting to gain public awareness.
You believe whatever you want to believe, but as a local, I believe you’re making a mountain of a mole hill. That isn’t helpful when there is a much larger picture to be aware of.
Its so that they can acknowledge there are truckers on the road in a convoy without having to admit theyre about to get their shit pushed in by in the incoming convoys.
The convoy for freedom is more important to me but this trucker protest over road conditions is a worthwhile cause and deserves attention. Just bad timing.

You know,, your facts are facts, and I see your point and I've decided that I agree with you. Going to UN-sticky this.
Since you're tracking this, I think we both know what CBC's coverage of the current trucker protest is going to be......
I make no mistakes about the CBC, never mind its rampant censorship.
Just no point getting wound up over something easily explained.
Addendum: not trying to be cute, but, this article, from around the same time or earlier, has the headline right:

Sad thing is, locally, I heard about it here or on patriots. Not a peep on my local news feed until it started getting national attention.
Have you seen the videos from the truckers in the convoys? From the other locals gathering along the roads in support waiving flags and signs?
Yes. I was glad to see every over pass packed with people in the lowermainland as they went by.

This is a good point. I'm curious when the trucker protests started with respect to when this article came out (22nd)

I think they are only 2 or 3 days in so this article may have been before.
Convoy started on Saturday. Left BC Sunday.
so it was about socialist incompetence rather than socialist authoritarianism? lol
