Throughout the entire duration of the Freedom Convoy 2022’s existence, there has been a lot of ironic juxtapositions between the way convoy supporters and left-wing counterprotesters have been behaving.
At no point has any trucker or convoy supporter gotten violent, while at the same time ANTIFA members are running over convoy supporters protesting in Winnipeg.
After a self-identified “cyber-terrorist” hacked GiveSendGo and released the names and information of people who donated to the Freedom Convoy 2022 on the platform, it was not convoy supporters that started making threats, it was anti-convoy activists who threatened business owners who donated to the cause.
The point of publishing donors’ hacked information was so the far-left’s henchmen can intimidate them.
A gelato cafe in Ottawa has closed after receiving threats of violence. The owner donated $250 to the Freedom Convoy & her info was hacked & published. https://t.co/QfVRGW6FZC

And now in the clearest possible juxtaposition between the way the Freedom Convoy is conducting itself compared to other left-wing movements, last night a group of ax-wielding ecoterrorists attacked a Coastal Gaslink Pipeline worksite in British Columbia.
Canada: Overnight on Feb. 17, far-left anti-pipeline extremists in British Columbia launched a coordinated attack on construction security staff with axes. Responding police were met by fire blockades & more attacks. Police are asking for help from public:https://t.co/Bqx0BrJrdr pic.twitter.com/rw1MhTBBCq

They attacked security guards on the scene and according to some reports, one RCMP officer was injured. Several million dollars of damages were done to the Gaslink worksite with several structures and vehicles being severely damaged.
The company said that the ecoterrorists had even tried to set fire to a vehicle while some workers at the site were still in it.
All this happening at the same time that police in Ottawa are beating peaceful convoy supporters for attending a lawful protest that the Emergencies Act cannot arbitrarily criminalize.

This is not to say that the RCMP is not taking the attack on the Gaslink site seriously, they clearly are, the issue is the intensity with which the government goes after the different movements.
Because the Liberal federal government sees the Freedom Convoy as a political threat to them, in terms of their popularity, they are applying more pressure to them than they ever would to track down and arrest actual terrorists destroying millions of dollars in private property, and almost murdering pipeline workers.

Although the members of the legacy media won’t see the insanity of covering the Freedom Convoy protest in Ottawa as if it a violent insurrection, while left-wing terrorist attacks are occurring elsewhere in the country, the average Canadian can tell the difference.
It may be why the polls have shifted hard in the Conservative Party’s favour. No matter how many scuffed online polls come out claiming the Freedom Convoy is unpopular, Canadians are quite done with the endless restrictions and authoritarian behaviour of Prime Minister Justin Trudeau and the Liberal Party.
Polling caught up with reality.
The lefty radicals on Twitter may like police beating peaceful protesters and the government refusing to listen to truckers but the average Canadian hates it.#cdnpoli #TruckersForFreedom2022 https://t.co/HN00FRqCQq
