Probably, that the outcome of the last election did not elect their choice of incompetent politicians.

N.B. That sentence does NOT exclude the ones that were elected, from being incompetent.

So .... Just the usual head-in-the-sand, conspiracy-theorist, anti-anything-that-resembles-progress, anti-rich-people, anti-taxation, anti-everything BS.
 
Probably and rightfully so because of anti liberals

Or in other words anything that’s to do with liberals should be protested

By making the minimal effort of reading the article before posting my speculation, I learned that they're rallying to discuss “solutions for a better world for all Canadians”, whatever the that means.

I think we need to become aware of our biases and work to not let them blind us to the history that's unfolding now.

How many people in this country trust any of our leaders or potential leaders?

How many people feel Canada will be there for them if their going gets tough?

When you are dealing with someone you don't trust you are very willing to believe the worst about them or anything they support. Media works the crowd.

A better world for everyone sounds like a speech by a Miss America finalist.

Screwing up a city is a good start to fixing a world.
 
Know what really rich prairie grain farmers do inFebruary when everything is frozen except the Kenworth ? Drive to a rally and support the next big event , the UN can’t figure out global unity but Elmer and his buddies in frieghtliners are on it . Grass roots folks ….

Thinking we're all to blame for the current situation(s) but not fully divided at this point. Blame what we like, but typically we're either part of the problem or simply stand idle while it happens around us. I know I'm guilty of the latter..

People are a cheap commodity and the Government knows this and use it to their advantage.
The more a politician talks about "the people or the common folk" the less I tend to trust them.
Sadly, I think we'll wipe ourselves out before the environment gets to do it..

Slurp frozen Margaritas and hang with Trumpsters in Arizona trailerparks.

Politicans! There should not be a left and right in gov, if we had a more central serving gov we should have a better chance of getting along and recieving the services we need. Instead we are pushed into A or B choice. Maybe people are fed up with either.

I generally agree with this. Im not sure about nobody in the middle, weighed against the world, the PCs would be middle of the road, Libs and NDP pretty far left.

As socialism creeps, I forsee deeper divisions and unrest.

Maybe the Convoys are the Canaries in the Coal mine of Canadian politics.

How about minority governments being comprised of the two most popular parties, not the less than half a loaf plus end slice that no one wants but the birds.

Smack their heads together until they forge a workable government.

Our overall situation is not all that different from most of Europe, Australia, New Zealand, and the developed countries of Asia. If anything, their "level of socialism" is a bit more than ours. If by "PC" you mean the Progressive Conservatives of old, before they merged with Reform, they were not far off the middle. They've gone hard right lately. Our Liberals are centrist by this measure.

The USA is an out-in-right-field outlier - but they are a big outlier. But then there's China.

Extreme left and extreme right meet up around back in a nasty place called authoritarianism, and are functionally indistinguishable after that happens.

One major difference is the number of functional political parties. USA only having two, is at great risk of degenerating into one-party rule. At least we have three (and a few smaller ones that actually get occasional representation). It's more common in the rest of the world, to have many political parties which have different views on different issues, avoiding the pure left-right binary choice. Having many political parties has its own set of problems, but at least in theory it forces some of them to talk to each other in order to get anything done.

It's hard to fight the current.

My theory is to think like a buffalo. The natives used to drive herds over a cliff to kill them and pig out on the dead. Wolves went after loners that didn't stay with the herd.

Stay with the herd but on the fringe. When you see the cliff coming peel off and hope the wolves will be distracted by the carnage and you'll live to gore another tourist at Yellowstone.
