Why are people protesting at a car dealership? When are we protesting high taxes, shitty roads, poor health care service, rising crime rates...? You know, issues relevant to Montreal/Quebec/Canada?

You come, or you don't, suit yourself.

You take issue with something else? Organize your own protest.

I think it's cuz the owner had a arm angle issue, but mainly cuz it didn't felt sorry for it, ....and I think people don't want that part of history to repeat it self.

Since they can't go to elon's house and write "I like Nazism and I have the money to make it happens" on his forehead. People goes to what they can reach. Wich is their local Elon's product store.

You are worthy of ridicule and scorn but it's a free country for anyone into embarrassing themselves so keep at it.

Let me explain to you as if you were 5 years old.

The man who owns this company, works very close to the American President. And the American President wants to take over our country. Including Montreal and Quebec.

Do I need to simplify it more?

I get it, you insult other people to feel better about yourself, no need to explain.

I think protesting Nazis who wield massive power, yet are unelected, is a fine reason.

99.9% of every govt employee and civil servant with access to secret data is unelected.

Those people didn't buy their position, they were hired legally to perform their job legally.

Are you crazy???? When we protest our own government we get our bank account frozen. Anyway its so much more virtuous to protest things across the globe we have no power to change.

You didn’t “protest the government”, you blocked the capital blasting horns for three weeks, led by conspiracist dipshits who intended on overthrowing the government with foreign money.

Also, “across the globe” is a 45 minutes drive south.

u/PaulBonGars420 Mar 29 '25

Tell me more about the foreign money. Why was the vast majority of the money from canadians donor? Why didnt we sanction the foreign money instead of freezing citizens bank account?

And "across the globe" refers to every cause outside of Canada. Sometimes its a 45 minutes drive, sometimes its in the middle east.... we love to stand for everybody but ourselves

Protesting the guys who threaten us with annexation is very much standing up for ourselves.

u/PaulBonGars420 Mar 29 '25

So nothing about the foreign money, eh?

Then why didnt you protest the guys who has put us in this position of weakness? Trudeau himself told the neighboor that we couldnt afford our independance. And he was right. 10years of liberals get us there. Liberals created this situation and the people who said nothing for the past years firmly believe that the liberals are the solution. This election shouldve happened 2 years ago.

Btw, talking about foreign money.... Our new and unelected PM is foreign money and interest.

Gtfo with your whattaboutism, go pester someone who cares about your whining

u/PaulBonGars420 Mar 29 '25

You came to me. I asked nothing from you.

You brought up foreign money, yet its nowhere to be found.

You talk about the guy trying to annex us which leads us to how did we get there?

If you cant hold a conversation, dont engage in it
