The related Toronto Convoy protests were led by; Mathew Czank, Heather Davidson, Nicold Hrovat, Bruno Capela, l and Kelly Anne Wolfe. (Source I am Mathew Czank, I can and will provide photo evidence if requested) MattCZ0919 (talk) 01:23, 14 September 2024 (UTC)[reply]
This 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)[reply]
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)[reply]
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
This currently holds the title as the largest protest in Canadian history taking the title from the 2021 fairy creek blockades Fairy Creek old-growth logging protests and should be attributed the title
the fairy creek blockade had a estimated 1000 people in attendance where the lower estimates for the freedom convoy is 10x that amount in just the Ottawa location alone and doesn’t count the demonstrations that occurred across the country in other cities 2605:8D80:665:B8CA:C445:D2CF:B68E:8DC5 (talk) 10:07, 29 December 2024 (UTC)[reply]
You would need a source that made that observation, but it seems dubious. The 1935 May Day demonstrations in Stanley Park for example drew 20,000 people. TFD (talk) 21:09, 29 December 2024 (UTC)[reply]
This page seems to have gone through an intense transformation as of December 30th, seemingly motivated by politics.
Most shockingly, it was edited to suggest that the convoy was successful in pressuring government to remove vaccine mandates. This is, at best, assuming causation when only correlation can be proven, and at worst, downright lies and misinformation. The sources provided in many cases do not mention the convoy, instead citing evidence that the vaccine mandates have reached the end of the effectiveness as stated by doctors and experts. In some cases, they do mention the convoy, only to explicitly state that the lifting of mandates is not in response to, or a result of, the convoy, ie https://globalnews.ca/news/8621158/quebec-covid-vaccine-passport-restrictions-eased/.
This major set of misinformation demonstrates cause for concern, and cursory glances at other edits suggest that many parts of the page were changed to downplay the negative impacts of the convoy, mislead readers into making negative inferences about the standing government, and remove referenced connections to alt-right groups. By example, a reference to the court decision that the use of the emergencies act was unconstitutional was added, with no additional links or information provided for the necessary context that this is because it was believed that the protest was already considered illegal, and it was already in the power of law enforcement to begin disassembling the gathering without the need for additional legal powers. This information is important: as is, the text is left to insinuate that the government acted illegally to oppress a peaceful protest.
