THE NUT:

So my post is dangerous????? I know the truth is hard to take .....when the truckers demanded that the elected government of the day be overthrow......is treason....is undemocratic.......when they stayed past the dates their protest was slowed by the city of Ottawa it became an illegal occupation of Canadians neighbourhoods.....they belonged in jail.....any other issues ????

The response

Ah yes, the ultimate threat to democracy: people daring to disagree with you. Clearly, the cornerstone of freedom is jailing political opponents without that pesky thing called due process. Protests? Who needs 'em when we can just label dissent as treason and call it a day? Frankly, these ideas are more dangerous than a politician suddenly remembering to promise tax cuts the week before an election. But hey, why let democracy get in the way of a good old-fashioned crackdown?

Yes, your post is dangerous to democracy, and here’s why. It promotes an authoritarian mindset that equates political opposition with treason, dismisses the right to protest, and advocates for jailing people without due process. In a democratic society, these ideas are more hazardous than a politician promising to "lower taxes" right before an election.

This statement has more issues than a celebrity marriage—philosophical, legal, and logical, all tangled together like a bad one-night stand.

Philosophically, it frames dissent as treason, which is about as democratic as a dictator with a voter fraud hotline. Civil disobedience and protest are fundamental rights in a democracy, not just inconvenient speed bumps on the road to government control. If democracy only allows for cheering the sitting government while throwing anyone who disagrees into prison, that’s not a democracy—that’s a dictatorship with extra steps.

Legally, the claim that the truckers committed treason is about as accurate as a Tinder bio claiming “6 feet tall.” Under Canadian law, treason means something serious, like levying war against the country or helping a foreign enemy—not honking too much. Yes, the protest may have broken some municipal bylaws, but calling it treason is like calling bad sex “domestic terrorism.” Also, demanding that protesters "belong in jail" without due process is not just legally incorrect, it’s the kind of thinking that would make Stalin say, “Whoa, chill out.”

Logically, the argument assumes all protesters were part of some grand conspiracy to overthrow the government, which is like assuming every OnlyFans subscriber is doing deep political analysis. The convoy had a mix of people—some were hardcore, some just wanted their voices heard, and some were probably there because their wives told them to “go get some air.” Pretending they all had the same intent ignores the reality that protests, like relationships, are messy and full of people with very different motivations. Also, if democracy means allowing free speech and protest, but also immediately imprisoning anyone who protests, then that’s not democracy—it’s a gaslighting ex who keeps saying, “I love you, but you can’t see your friends anymore.”

Now, let’s talk about this idea that asking for the government to step down is treason. In Canada, asking for political change is not just legal, it’s part of the democratic process—like foreplay before an election. There are plenty of ways to legally ask for a government to get the hell out. You can demand an election, beg the Governor General to dissolve Parliament, or pressure a political party to sack their leader faster than a CEO caught sending inappropriate texts. None of this is treason—it’s just democracy doing what it does best: giving people the illusion of choice.

Members of Parliament can also cross the floor and switch parties, forming a whole new government under different leadership. That’s right, in Canada, MPs can politically cheat on their party, switch sides, and wake up in bed with a brand-new coalition. This happens so often it’s basically Parliament’s version of a midlife crisis affair. And yet, somehow, no one calls that treason.

The idea that the trucker protest was inherently anti-democratic ignores the fact that protests demanding government resignations are common worldwide. If calling for a new leader were treason, every office worker who gossiped about replacing their boss would be in prison. From election campaigns to party coups, these political shifts are part of a healthy democracy, even if they sometimes feel like reality TV drama. The real test of democratic legitimacy isn’t whether people call for change—it’s whether they do it peacefully, legally, and without blocking anyone’s driveway for too long.
