it's a no adams weekend

actually we're already at the indoor gathering limit but next time when covid isn't a thing anymore
- TheMussel

You're allowed one?

Yeah I know plenty of fully vaccinated people supporting this group to their own degree. Who am I to say there aren't vaccinated people out there who would jump on the convoy.

I am fully vaccinated and I don't agree with a lot of the mandates. Some sure, most I do not.

You're avoiding the question of why a US trucker would join the convoy.

Yeah I don't know and won't pretend like I know. I do know plenty of Americans showing support.

One who is Elon Musk, who is fully vaccinated and does not agree with all mandates. You are allowed to do so if you didnt know.

If Elon Musk gave a poop about truck drivers he wouldn't be trying to create machines to replace them.

Joe Rogan supports them as well. Boom, CC completes the circle

- BINGO!

He doesnt care about them at all.
Just trying to stir the pot.

Ah yes, Joe Rogan and Elon Musk are both stupid "uncle Teddy's"

A perfect example that not believing in all the mandates does not group you with the "right wing nut jobs" like some are claiming.

Or is Elon Musk an uneducated moron who waived confederate flags around?

Don't start this bull poop, educate yourself. How did you create this random perception in your head? I can't wait to hear this one.

Queen's Commerce, class of 1993 (although he left).

True story.

I bet he was waiving confederate flags and driving monster trucks in mud around campus.

Sorry Cush.

Your recommendation was just noticed and noted.

All good thanks.

This white rage karen convoy has nothing to do with anyone being ignored.

Who's being ignored and how?
- Fakepartofme

I don't want you to think I was ignoring that quotient of the group. You're absolutely right that there's a bunch of racists and hate mongering that is behind the organization of this. There are also a lot of people supporting the convoy, while not actively participating, because they have their own misguided views on what it stands for.

The beauty of using the word "Freedom" is that it's vague enough to mean something to everyone. Almost every racist or hate group uses the word Freedom in some form, so I don't think most of us are fooled by it. But there are people who I sincerely believe are not hate filled or racists, but they are hurting, and they are identifying with this message because there are parts of it that speak to them. There are people who are afraid and uncertain and parts of this message resonate with them. There are people who are frustrated and tired by the pandemic and part of this message resonate with them. So it's a thing because it's got all of these bits of messages sticking to it - but the underlying message of this shouldn't be ignored - it's organized by hate groups.

My points were merely that there are a number of people identified on the right and supporting this that deserve to be a part of the political discourse. Their message should be heard and addressed before they continue their swing further right into the crazy zone.

Jake Muzzin is sitting out the back half of Leafs practice today. Looks like he’ll miss his fourth consecutive game on Saturday (concussion).

Dubas will seriously have to look at adding another top 4 D, Jake doesnt seem to be able to make it through 1 playoff round anymore..now concussions.. not great Bob

I mean still half a season, if they play it smart and wait longer than they think they should to put him on he shouldn't have to worry about the concussion come playoff time.

Would be worrying if the playoffs were 4 weeks away.

im talking about the fact he has been out the last few playoffs hurt. now at 32..a concussion on top of that... doesnt seem like he wil be durable enough for a few rounds...and I dont see how they win without him.

If they take proper precautions it should not be an issue.

I don't think he is super injury prone. Making sure he is healthy for playoffs is sure a priority.

Getting a 2nd pairing D is likely just as large of a priority, hope its Severson but I have my doubts NJD will trade him with wanting to finally challenge for playoffs 2 years ago...would take a deal that may help them next season as well.

We’re all tired of the pandemic and the restrictions. I have questions about their continued effectiveness or at least the trade offs against the cost. Whining about freedom though moves things out of a debate about the effectiveness of restrictions and into a discussion about the primacy of my individual rights over the collective good. I don’t have any time for that bullpoop
