On the whole the convoy was fucking embarrassingly bad, but then again so was the whole idea of "vaccine passports." It was good to see people protesting it, horrifying to see how obnoxiously "conservative" most of them were. Shouts of "freedumb" everywhere, protesters thinking they were being rebellious when the cops were pretty much on their side, nobody around with the guts to call in the RCMP (there was a process for it. They could have done it) and get rid of the fucking trucks, bullshit half-baked misinterpreted pseudoscience on the TV, vilification of the idea of any dissent, carefully stage-managed presentation of the output of bureaucratic panic and confusion from the institutions of government, each side of the often stupid controversies absolutely refusing to listen to the other. Destroyed my faith in democracy, basically.
