Estimates I've seen range from 200-400 people at the demonstration. Which was decent, in an area and school I'd to be pretty cucked. Still small enough to ignore completely.
The Students4Agency group that sprung up to protest the mandates is headed by a skinny, decent looking blonde. That helps.
Disappointed the Students4Agency immediately kowtowed to the university administration to protest "legally" by sending a memo out Friday night asking the general public not to come, only those with direct ties to Western were welcome.
The Freedom Convoy, the Coutts blockade, the Rolling Thunder biker rally and Canada Day at Parliament all showed that trying to acquiesce to your opponents ever-changing bad faith requests only handicaps your efforts.
Pleasantly surprised Andrew Lawton crossed the rubicon so-to-speak and spoke at the protest as a journalist.
He makes a pretty clear distinction that he wasn't a supporter of the Freedom Convoy, only an observer (though he covers them favourably).
He also holds the more extreme libertarian position, openly supporting a business' right to impose vaccine passports. He only opposes government mandated ones.
openly supporting a business' right to impose vaccine passports
I wonder if he would support the right of all chartered banks in Canada to collude to refuse to do business with Andrew Lawton for speaking at this event.
I somewhat understand his position on letting businesses do what they want.
The problem is that "let the free market decide" absolutist positions don't work anymore in 2022 when corporate fascism is en vogue.
To his credit, he took it with humility when Chapters Indigo, essentially Canada’s only corporate bookstore chain, purposely refused to physically stock or display his book on the Freedom Convoy purely for political reasons (they did continue to sell it online), despite it ranking as #1 on numerous bestseller lists in Canada for weeks on end.
