Target audience finds tucker hilarious, shocker!

No I think what is funny that an extreme right person and someone on the left agree on Justin with one saying he sounds like Hitler.

Though I find CBC saying the truckers are backed by the Russians as funny as Tucker's take yet you probably believe the CBC reporter as much as you believe Trudeau cares about the climate Aghh target market Elitists working out of their home on a laptop collecting a full paycheck

A large majority of CDN's do not support the truckers but just under 50% sympthise with them along with our premier for a mandate that should have never been put in place

i guess its the weekend, so we won't get you parroting more tucker carlsen lines ITT and passing them off as your own brilliant idea until monday, right?

I admit I got fooled in believing it was genuine because that line was so awkwardly unimpressive, but then one always has to follow the money and Tucker has his audience to appeal to, so the quality and content of that does make sense once his audience is factored into the equation. Few will ever beat Trump at it, but that guy is also very good at knowing what to say to milk his derps, so credit where credit is due.

This one was the inverse for me. I'm not sure how it worked in Canada, but in the States it was income based. None of my close friends (all in USA) got any payment, but for whatever reason most of my family (all in Canada) did get some cash.

Well you can choose

You just upset that US media is calling him out for what he is. Maybe you can have me suspended for a week for not putting quote tags on

I am not upset that alt-right derps are using silly terms and expressions to appeal to their passive target market. I was disappointed that I gave you credit for creating one of them. That was my mistake.

All the best.

The US program was far more broad based than the Canadian program. Yes it had a ceiling (150k iirc for a couple), but in Canada you didn't just automatically get money, you had to actually had to lose your job or income. It was sort of annoying, but it made sense. I didn't deserve a dollar in the pandemic because if anything I only profited from it. And I didn't get a dollar*. I think it was smart that Canada went for higher total outflows, but more targeted to those who broadly speaking needed them.

*edit: from the feds. BC did give out a 1000 payment I think.

Great soul read, lozen. I'm totally upset that tucker carlsen is making his target audience - aka right wing derps, sound familiar? - snort and chuckle over super clever phrases like "Castro's love child" that are just SO funny they need to run to the forum and spam the line. So funny!

Nah, I showed my wife (who votes liberal) the segment about Trudeau being a master of disguise and she agreed it was funny. Anyone who isn't a zealot or card carrying socialist would find it funny.

The trick will be asking someone under 55-65 what they think of it. Most will have no idea what the joke is about.

A quick look at the demographic of the audience sheds some light.

https://www.cheatsheet.com/entertain...-america.html/

According to Nielsen ratings, the median age of Fox’s audience was 66 in 2016. Following something of a youthful surge the following year, Adweek reported “good news” for Fox News early in 2018. Over the past year, the median age of the cable channel’s audience had dropped to 65. Looking at prime-time numbers alone, Fox viewers kicked back up to 66.

Castro and other really dusty references works for that target market. Good on Tucker for using decades old stuff with his catchphrases that will appeal to the alt-right Boomers that are the bulk of his viewers.

I agree with a small part of this, but none of your conclusions.

Your link is actually to an article about the US mandate, which apparently was passed way back in October to be implemented in January. That mandate meant that the Canadian one passing really had no effect on truckers in Canada, and there was initially no reason to believe its passing should have been any particular trigger. I would agree that it's looking like a rather silly mandate, and it also came about in a rather ham-handed fashion with I believe a couple of reversals after it was first announced.

OK, but to what end? You give in to a bunch of yahoos, for what purpose? The US mandate remains in place, so it changes nothing for the truckers - which is likely why trucker associations have come out against these protests. And it changes nothing for the bulk of protestors, who apparently want all mandates removed (and then there are some who claim they want nothing less than JT's resignation).

Silly mandate? Yeah. But removing it is going to accomplish nothing WRT the protests, other than to make them feel like they're actually accomplishing something and thus need to "keep up the fight".

Be as it may .
Trudeau removing vaccine mandate wouldn’t change anything .
Those truckers will still be unable to pass on US soil without a vaccine anyway .

All they do is prevent people vaccinated to actually do their jobs ….

I don't understand why governments are so insistent upon these deeply unpopular mandates. My schizoid Uncle says everything makes sense if you look at it through the lens of them wanting to exterminate us to fight total environmental degradation and the extinction of the species. They need to get the population numbers way down he says.

What if one looks at it as a sinister way to increase ice cream sales? Huge industry with way bigger than expected growth the past 5-6 years. Fatten everyone up before unleashing Covid? Seems kinda sus, so talk to that uncle and get back to us on that one.

All the best.

Wait, mandates are helping to get population numbers down? I think I'm going to need you to connect the dots for me on this one. Or is this just some kind of killer vaccine theory?

They should make a poll or a referendum .

No mandate resulting in no health care system
Mandate resulting having a working health care system?

Uncle says the vaccines degrade the immune system overtime depending on the resiliency of the persons immune system. He says it makes for the perfect bioweapon as not everyone dies at once, so deaths can't be blamed on the jab at first. My family stopped talking to him, but I like listening to him, and he's letting me inherit his one ounce gold eagles.

Bring some ice cream the next time you visit him.

All the best.

This sums everything up…

Money talks.

Yes the Canadian truckers haven't realised the USA mandate is what's blocking their ability to go unvaccinated into the USA. But Trudeau implementing his own mandate is what ticked them off to go protest because they felt "bullied" by Trudeau. And Trudeau wouldn't back down even though his mandate helps save 0 lives.


The end goal is to remove mandates that are currently saving 0 lives and pissing off small minorities needlessly.


Right now the political calculus is: stand strong on useless mandate so that we don't look weak giving in to yahoos. The question is: why the hell did we put ourselves in a position where we have to defend this useless mandate?


Like I said. A mess of Trudeau's own doing.

Why even have a mandate? Just drop it? Its that easy.

We are 85% fully vaccinated as a population with over 40% of population having been infected with covid.

Holding on to these mandates is akin to holding on to an empty bag with a hole inside because it makes you feel comfortable doing it.

You are the most entertaining poster on this forum.

I've been admiring your posts for years.

Truly you honor me, and in doing so, you honor yourself as well.

Fair enough .
But those truckers should realize even without trudeau they would be fack anyway .
They should blame the US as well and so , let those that are vaccinated to be able to travel and do their job right ?

Whould biden cares anyway if trudeau would release those mandates ?
Truckers would still be fack right ?

Even if they succeed here , it still would end up failing for them at the border crossing .
