“The NYT is providing cover for the BLM and ANTIFA protests which will intensify should the Republicans take the House and Senate in 2022.”

Or if some court decision doesn’t go their way.

Heh. You know the polling is bad if the statists at NYT are talking intelligently.

They don’t MEAN IT, of course.

Why? What is in it for the NYT?

The New York Times knows the power of white liberal 'elites' is propped up by the violent easily manipulated parts of the black community.

And white elite power propped up by the power of 'black (un-elected) leaders' who haven't lived in the black community for so many decades they actually believed black community members wanted to de-fund the police. (talk about out-of-touch tools of white elites...)

Without the ability for white liberal 'elites' to send the criminal and gullible parts of black community into the streets to bully traditional black citizens - and frighten white citizens - the 'plantation lock' democrats have on blacks is broken.

That's why it matters to them.

(If there wasn't fear of their pets and power being threatened the New York Times would be happy to have the truckers, their families and their dogs shot and left to die on the streets of Ottawa. Yes, they hate us)

Perhaps even the committed leftists at the New York Times are smart enough to realize that normalizing the use of authoritarian measures like seizing bank accounts will be used against them at some point.

Trudeau just normalized the idea of the government seizing the bank accounts of people protesting against them. Can you imagine what the left would do if the next conservative US president seized the assets of MoveOn.org, the Tides Foundation, BLM, the DNC, and the thousands of associated PACs and non-profits they have?

They have just barely enough presence of mind to provide some top cover for their history of full throated support for the “mostly peaceful” arson, vandalism, looting, assaults and murder of BLM and Antifa.

Still, I’m sure that this one caused considerable argument and hand wringing in NYT newsroom.

I’m sure the NYT feels the same about that Jan 6th protest.(/S)

If you still live in Canada, answer the question below!:

Why would anyone keep their money in a Canadian Bank?

If the NYT says this it must be because the Lefties are afraid of a similar trucker protest in the USA. It sounds to me like the NYT wants to defuse the upcoming USA trucker convoy.

That’s different; they weren’t protesting him.

Besides, many of the farmers in India are minorities, and the prices are just one of their problems. It was politically advantageous for Turdeau to back them.

The New York Times better not have any money in any Canadian Banks.

I have a feeling that americans, coming from American culture, will be a little more quick to use their guns if the police get to dramatic. Just think about the Bundy ranch standoff.

I remember in January of 2020, just before the pandemic and the 2020 election really took off, saying to my wife,”whatever happened to blm.. we don’t hear about them anymore.”

And then, there they were. Right on cue.

Don’t expect them to cheer if you order the Guard to fire on truckers, Joey...

The Guard won't be called up. UN mercenary forces will. They won't be wearing blue helmets either. They'll look just like Guardsmen or police, but they will have no identifying insignia. In wartime they would be treated as spies and shot on sight.
