Canadians generally are saying, "This is not driven by Canadians, this is from somewhere else. It feels foreign. American."
As an example of the contempt these thugs feel for my country, they have set up a hot tub - there's class for you - on Parliament Hill. I'm not a violent person, but I don't know how I'd react were I to see these things in person.
No one knows who the donors are, exactly, but FIFTY PERCENT of donations are from outside Canada, without doubt many from donors in Texas.
I have never felt more sick than when I saw confederate flags and swastika graffiti in my nation's capital, to learn of homophobic/racist taunting, fires set in the lobbies of apartment buildings, a homeless shelter's entrance blockaded, or Trudeau, who was re-elected on the basis of his strong management of the pandemic, called a "dictator", which is a revolting piece of newspeak. People ESCAPE dictatorships to come here.
Basically this is an assault on our democracy, in fact, it is the attempt, as you said, to oust a legitimately-elected government through violence and intimidation, in other words, foreign interference in our electoral process.
Sorry, people. We voted him in, you'll just have to wait for an election to vote him out. That's how it works.
Thank you for your sympathetic response to this outrage.
