Federal Court Ruling
editWhy dont they go into how the federal court of canada declared the use illegal and a break of our charter rights. Or the fact there was international support? This is such a one sided view its pathetic. Do better. 107.179.238.108 (talk) 16:09, 21 July 2024 (UTC)
Estimates of up to $6 billion cost to the economy?
editThis is misinformation. What did they do with the freight, destroy it? No it was redirected. Pure lies. 2607:FEA8:7C9C:9680:29C0:B380:567F:6D3F (talk) 20:38, 25 August 2024 (UTC)
- I'm not an expert but sitting around not delivering said freight would probably cost money to the companies waiting for it as they can't sell what they intended on time nor produce what they intended on time thus costing them money, plus it's an estimate by a source like you can disagree with it but it's just a quote. 2601:406:8480:7940:9987:554B:AE8D:CB2C (talk) 16:43, 2 November 2024 (UTC)
- A baseless estimate has no place in an encyclopedia. This also assumes the economy was not already severely throttled because of the pandemic measures. There is no value in providing this estimate except to weaponize. This is highly bias and does not belong in a document that is supposed to be neutral. 2605:59C8:5A5:A310:A516:6986:741B:B81C (talk) 12:31, 22 November 2024 (UTC)

Per cent
editThe usage of per cent as opposed to percent or the % symbol seems strange to me; I don't know if there's a specific rule about this but reading it feels wrong to me. 2601:406:8480:7940:9987:554B:AE8D:CB2C (talk) 16:46, 2 November 2024 (UTC)
- Per cent is British and percent is US. Masterhatch (talk) 17:17, 2 November 2024 (UTC)
Severe Partisanship
editThis article is a steaming pile of garbage. It is full of broad-brush accusations such as the claim that anyone was trying to overthrow the government (one or two people, who were not even in the spotlight, do not qualify as the entire protest!), one-sided propagandized stories used as a basis for claims, easily falsified facts that accuse the protest of being foreign influenced (a HACK was cited as a basis for facts! GiveSendGo testified in a government committee hearing that 80 to 90% of donations were all small donations originating from Canada), exaggerations and pretty much the entire thing needs to be stricken. The only thing not obviously partisan is the intro. Wikipedia has been weaponized by partisan hacks for over a decade. Nobody respects the information on this site anymore. This entire article needs to be labelled as being a partisan account of events. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 2605:59C8:5A5:A310:A516:6986:741B:B81C (talk) 12:49, 22 November 2024 (UTC)
- You need to be specific about information you consider false. The article says that a hack showed that most GiveSendGo donors were American, while GoFundMe said most of their donors were Canadian. These claims are included because they received considerable attention.
- The article also says that "some protestors" called for the overthrow of the government, which is true, but does not claim the entire protest called for that. The governor general's office received thousands of phone calls and countless emails asking her to fire the PM. There is no reason not mention this. TFD (talk) 13:35, 22 November 2024 (UTC)
- The Ottawa People’s Commission documented many alleged hate crimes, including an incident in which an Ottawa resident of Asian ancestry was beaten by three convoy supporters after being asked to perform a dragon dance.[161] https://pressprogress.ca/it-was-violent-peoples-commission-report-shines-light-on-violence-harassment-and-hate-crimes-during-freedom-convoy/
- this is a extremely Parisian source that is unreliable. the fact it uses “alleged” is against wp/hearsay
- the person dancing on the tomb of the unknown soldier was not associated with the protest. This was released in a later article https://www.blacklocks.ca/convoy-allegation-disproven/
- of you compare this article with the gorge Floyd article you can see a clear difference in the way they are projected especially given the fact that one of them was the most destructive riot in U.S. history causing multiple deaths and the other has been described as “remarkably peaceful and lawful” by the Ottawa police chief https://www.cbc.ca/amp/1.6334125

- Well lets see, ar the the same thing...no. So any comparison fails. And read wp:soap. Slatersteven (talk) 11:10, 8 December 2024 (UTC)
- The first article in question breaks Wikipedia:Verifiabilityas the information given is a unfounded allegation and the source breaks Wikipedia:Reliable sources/Noticeboard
- the second it a update to the original article which fell victim to Wikipedia:Recentism
- and the third shows the majority of these media claims where bogus. This isn’t a debate, these issues went to court and the majority of these claims where proven to be untrue or blown out of proportion 2001:1970:4AE5:A300:4109:A3A5:2739:8DE5 (talk) 23:31, 9 December 2024 (UTC)
