  1. If all they did was deflate the tires, then that is the most Canadian form of protesting. No damage done, just a little inconvenience.

    1. Really? When was the last time someone deflated all four of your tires?
      You prepared to wait for someone with an air compressor?
      To do my four tires takes me about an hour. You like being an hour late? Not just for work, but other commitments?
      I live in a Condo Complex where for a number of years this was a preferred form of harassment. You do not know what you are talking about. How dare you minimize this.

    1. I catch anybody doing this to my SUV ? UMM OH YEA ? I JUST REMEMBER , I OWN A 14 YEARS OLD JUNKER CHEV ? THE WAY IT RUNS ,,IT MIGHT NEED THE AMBULANCE RIDE ?

  2. I wish more of these “activists” understood how much of the life they live is built on oil and gas. If you want to save the planet build a homestead in the bush somewhere and stop vandalizing other peoples property.

    1. I mean, that’s a convenient way to wish them to disappear from your life, but it doesn’t do much to advance their cause.

  3. Seeing this has opened my eyes.

    I won’t drive or use motorized transportation from now on.

    1. You don’t imagine Trudeau’s running around letting air out of tires, do you? If not, then you might not understand what hypocrisy is.

    2. @Hyperpandas hypocrisy is PM preaching the same stupid thing as those guys, and then moving around in SUVs and jets.

    3. @Clau Cris So, in your imagination, a prime minister should, what, bike around the country rather than enacting regulations and legislation that abates millions of tonnes of GHGs? Bud, you don’t get how this works.

  4. If they only knew that the air in the tires contained 400 PPM of C0 2 and they recklessly released it all into the surrounding atmosphere. It is surely melting all of the remaining polar ice by now.
