I can understand the frustration, however, your temporary discomfort is caused by people fighting, peacefully, for permanent freedom. Unless you think you'll enjoy living in a society where your government can mandate you inject yourself with experimental medications and you have to have 'papers' at hand wherever you go to prove your compliance to the state's proven unscientific whims.
@@carollel.ternus1926 Are they fighting anyone physically or just being a nuisance? Is the drug proven to provide immunity or does it require repeated 'boosters' while those already jabbed still both get sick _and_ die? Science can be _questioned._ If it cannot be questioned then it's _propaganda._ If you are not free unless you have 'papers' then are you really free in your own country?
My wife and I are Masked Singer fans. Don't judge 😂 Seeing Sarah Palin on the show was bad enough. Granted she sang Baby Got Back so it was kinda funny. But Rudy? No. That should never have been allowed.
Wait, so they bring in actual talentless hacks to sing rather than the village fugly dude/chicck with a voice of an angel? That's just sad... BTW, I consider myself fugly, but I have been told I am a good singer.
Thank you, Stephen. As a Canadian, vaccinated, supporting our government's mandates, I am utterly appalled by the freedumb convoy. Most supporters on the Cdn. FaceBook pages are from Texass. Sickening. Stop infesting us with your crazies, dammit!! sorry.
The best part for me was when Stephen said, "If you're not familiar with The Masked singer... congratulations," and before I realized I was speaking I actually said out loud, "Thank you."
Never saw the show, and I still won’t, despite the producers’ disgusting play for ratings by casting Giuliani. I bet this episode will be their most viewed ever.
Not hearing any solutions. Not hearing things that support life, liberty, happiness, and Justice for all. Be constructive Be civilized Show your humanity Understanding creates hope Confusion creates fear
Isn't it so cute and so apropos? I didn't know that Rudy was a fuzzy. Does he go to many conventions? I'm sure Colbert knows the phrase,. " Bless his heart." 😁
As a Canadian, thank you for the apology. Sorry you felt obligated to apologize to us. Sorry, I sometimes apologize for things outside of my control…. Sorry.

Truckers are bad people. Truckers should be replaced with railway cargo, air freight and automated self-driving trucks. The supply chain shortage going on shows that Truckers couldn't be bothered doing their jobs.

As an Indigenous Canadian, I can tell you that the racist presence is strong here. And for the most part, outside of Toronto, Montreal and Vancouver, they're out and proud. What's even more pathetic than their backwards, ignorant mentality, is their idolization of Amerikkkan racists. From full on KKK communities, to Confederate and 'Don't Tread On Me' flags and a nauseating hard on for Trump, including hopes and prayers that we get our own version, to adopting just about every Qanunce tinfoil hat brigade conspiracy and false belief, they're seriously Stans of everything Amerikkkan and it's just sickening. People think Canada is all rainbow flags, universal healthcare and gay marriages, but I assure you, our Nation has it's own skeletons (like the THOUSANDS of corpses of murdered and discarded Indigenous babies and children that were recently uncovered at Residential schools and Church grounds across Canada.). I'd still choose Canada over the U.S., because it's definitely the better choice for anyone who isn't among the 1%, but I also believe in honesty and honestly, Canada has a shit tonne of evolving to do before we can trash the U.S. for being racist.
I'm not indigenous but I am Canadian, and I am in full agreement with you. The majority of Canadian truckers think this protest is stupid; the sad thing is, there are plenty of legitimate issues plaguing the industry, and these protesters are not addressing any of them it seems.
Well fucking sad Louise. I’m from the Northwest Territories and one of my kindergarten classmates became one of the missing and murdered indigenous women. And yet even in our community we have Idiots supporting this so-called freedom convoy
I'm so sorry to hear that. it really saddens me. as we say here in Aotearoa/New Zealand - kia kaha - 'be strong' - said from the understanding that you are already strong, reminding you of that strength, that courage, that the person who says supports you and your strength, arohanui (an abundance of love, compassion, empathy)
"How's your day, honey?" "Oh, a couple of hiccups. I lost my umbrella, a shoe lace broke and I lost the GDP of Latvia! More gold shavings in your chablis?" Must be nice to be that rich! 🤣
Actually, once you have enough money for your family to live in a decent place, eat nutritious food, y’know, comfortably meet your needs and have enough left over for movies, a dinner out, a vacation once in a while, more money doesn’t make people happier. The ones who think it will live rich but pointless lives. Notice that both Bezos’ and Gate’s exes are putting their money into other people’s hands as fast as they can. Knowing that you’re making a difference in ways that you care about makes people happy.
he works for Fox he is a loyal foot solder and he is broke after being stiffed by Trump. so that part of the right wing criminal mob dead set on installing a fascist autocrat at "potus". I gotta admit that the mayor of New York is still loyal to the hand the bit him, didnt feed him and relegated him to the masked singer. He is selling t shirts for $911.00 each a ghoulish move at best. he lost his law license for the moment he will eventually be disbarred. most of Trump's fixers get dis barred. Trump could be self destructive he needs to bring shame and misery onto his house and his family name. The Trump brand is worthless. Then he confesses to being a crook on national TV. The DOJ is following the evidence in plain sight. Merrick we can get you a robot seeing eye dog. Merrick? Merrick? Merrick you there? no, didnt think so.
Thank you Steven for your wonderful gift of humour. As a Canadian I really needed it after seeing confederate flags in Ottawa. I'm 75 years old and my heart is broken. I always thought how fortunate I've been to be born in Canada; now I feel I don't really know my country anymore.

@@opencommentsbbcnewsnight1704 Although it should be noted, a lot of that support is because they're truckers, and has nothing to do with their beliefs. The vast distances of travel required to goods to Canadian cities has given the average citizen there a more favorable view of trucking than we have in the US; one could even say they have the same favorable view as a doctor because they can quite literally be the difference between life and death in a lot of the small towns on the outskirts. So a lot of people just automatically support them, in much the same way that British citizens automatically support the Queen.
