The Ottawa Sun has decided to go with propaganda instead of journalism, foolishly attacking GiveSendGo as supporting terrorist groups.
GiveSendGo has previously hosted fundraising efforts conducted on behalf of the Proud Boys, a neo-facist group deemed a terrorist organization by the Canadian government.
The Canadian government is fine with BLM and Antifa, but anyone opposing those groups just “must” be “fascist”?
All this just to avoid lifting the mandates that even the mainstream media polling concludes more than half of Canadians want lifted.
Exactly how do the authoritarians in Ottawa see this ending well for them?
The government is in a bind. If they give in, they've lost control. If they don't give in, things will escalate until the whole country is shut down. They're hoping they can regain control without a shutdown. I think the truckers see that if they back down, they will never live in a free country.

They are going to ramp up their efforts to make this thing turn violent.
Is that turning out "well"? No.
But they are painting themselves into a corner, and the world is watching. They desperately need to rationalize their authoritarianism.
