This speaks to me both as a history nerd, and as someone who enjoys when pieces of shit suffer for their shitty choices.

With the convoy morons sucking up a disproportionate amount of the oxygen in the room lately, I thought this was a nice stat to keep in mind:

 

[WeHaveMoreCupsThanYou]

Where is the tear gas though?

Uhh, excuse me? May I remind you that these protesters are WHITE? You don't break out the riot gear on white people. I mean, if white people are upset about something I'm sure they must have a darn good reason, don't you?

Yeah. Majority of truckers actually just went and got vaccinated. Ditto nurses and police. Idiots are always the fucking loudest

250 people.

 

[lecoqsportif]

250 people.

In some ways I think the protests could prolong the lockdown. Even if the government was going to lift some restrictions they won't now at risk of looking like they caved.

 

[hockeylover]

Tell those damn Librul premiers to lift all the COVI— oh. Right.

Versteeg, Zigomanis, Shane O'Brien, Scottie Upshall... List of former NHL players going wacky growing larger by the day.

Is Zigomanis getting a little covid crazy on the air too or just Twitter? I don’t follow any of these guys.

No idea. Does he still have a job in media?

Yeah, I thought he got fired from his radio gig? Though since I don’t listed to sports radio at all, I dunno.

 

[hockeylover]

Oh. Nvm. Just took a look at his Twitter. Yikes.

I’m definitely not surprised a lot of these guys have this stance though. I’m more so a little surprised no Leaf player has taken this stance publicly.

Anyway, here’s a clip from a couple of years ago of Conservative leadership hopeful and #1 trucker convoy/blockade fanboy Pierre Poilievre.

This has aged pretty beautifully:

Yeah people on my feed retweet or QUOTE TWEET some of his stuff and the guy has gone off the deep end. Versteeg, while having an extremely privileged take, seems a bit more reasonable at least. Zigomanis has lost his mind. But from the bit I knew about him while he was with the Leafs, he apparently was a complete air head and one of the stupidest people in hockey. Surprised he got a job in media.. I never actually listened to him but it couldn't have been good.

what is up with versteeg?

 

[worm]

sure hope he means freedom from the virus not freedom from govt

Methot also had a stupid take

 

[MindzEye]

Hockey players for the most part, are dummies and don't actually know anything.

Who knew?
