The right has all these people who had no meaning in their lives going to Parliament Hill as part of the biker demonstration Rolling Thunder. Joining a cult is about being given a vital role in lives where that is missing. Understand that 400 years ago when we almost all lived in villages, and going back hundreds of thousands of years, everyone came together to solve issues and hunt and fight and save and then share these stories again and again. These protesters who think the Ottawa police will likely kill them could have volunteered at their local food bank, on an ongoing basis, instead. My the right is crafty. Thankfully we did not gut all our unions in Canada. Thankfully we have a government that is Lazer focused on growing the middle class. But there are still people who are lost that the right will try to corral.
