My first time posting here . Unfollowed Mimi a long time ago because toxic positivity isn't my thing. Her looks, her lifestyle, none if it really bothers me because honestly I select my idols carefully and influencers with their disdain for education fall very low on the list. But her comments on the "freedom convoy" in Ottawa got on my nerves and I left a comment on her last insta post because I live in Ottawa and it's a godamnn shitshow. For someone who always goes out of her way preach love and kumbaya , she knows shit all about what this convoy actually entails. I'm posting my comment here:
"Oh the hypocrisy of this kills me Mimi. I LIVE in Ottawa and let me tell you what these peaceful protestors did. They shut the city down. They went in droves and harassed people wearing masks. An entire shopping mall shut down because they wouldn't stop going inside maskless and harassing business owners. The entire convoy was FOUNDED by white nationalists . My son has autism and fellow autism moms who live downtown told me how trucks were blaring their horns at all hours of day and how for days their kids didn't sleep . If my son was listening to that level of noise all day, he would've had a nervous breakdown . People had to cancel medical appointments because routes to hospitals were blocked off. Nazi flags were flown at the protest also. Trump flags. They had dolls of Trudeau strung up with nooses around his neck. You care about democracy? They wanted to FORCE a democratically elected leader to resign. You don't live here, stop pretending you know anything about it."
