If you don't know the truth, at least try not to lie. Nothing I've seen in the dozens of downtown live streams jives with the smearing I've witnessed on places like r/pics and the news. It appears from the commentary that there is such vitriol towards the protesters that I wouldn't put it past some opposition group to fly defamatory flags that have no apparent connection to why they are protesting. A prominent trusted newspaper even ran a cartoon presenting the trucks as fascist... for protesting against a perceived government overreach. What kind of cognitive dissonance is going on there?

I mean I guess you can just pretend the swastikas and rebel flags aren't there. If that makes you feel better.
- _-david-_ 5y agoIf your standard is a Nazi flag nearby means everyone is a Nazi then if some random person came to a rally or protest that you support you would consider yourself a Nazi right?
- BitwiseFool 5y agoIt's not even an actual Nazi flag either. >"An Alberta MP said he was not aware a person was flying an upside down Canadian flag with a swastika on it behind him" Someone used a red marker to draw a swastika on a Canadian flag. Big difference. I suspect it is being shared in such a way to make unengaged readers think that it was a bona-fide Third Reich banner.
