The perks of being white. This is so gross to watch for non white Canadians.

As a nonwhite, Pat Hughes is a very ignorant man. I leave it up to you to see if there's any connection between the two pieces of information (but there obviously is).
During the (noble) Freedom Convoy on Ottawa earlier this year, people around the world were in shock as they saw Ottawa police:
- Shoot a conservative news reporter at point-blank range with a tear gas cartridge
- Surround an RV with a dozen machine guns drawn at the doors
- Trample a woman with a horse:
Ottawa Police Horses Trample Protestors Increasing Tensions Between Protestors and Police

- Participate in the freezing of bank accounts of convoy participants and donors.
- Send detectives across the country to arrest a woman for a mischief charge she had already been in prison for longer than the maximum sentence for the offense
People around the world saw this. Ignorant nonwhites like Pat Hughes didn't, because he was busy listening to Justin's presstitute Mackenzie Grey who saw nothing more egregious than a popcorn machine being confiscated (though neither Hughes nor Grey bothered to ask exactly what justified the confiscation). That's why Hughes was ignorant about what actually happened to protesters in the Freedom Convoy.
His inference is that nonwhites who protest suffer at the hands of the police in a way that nonwhites don't. Again, this is more of this nonwhite ignorance Hughes is guilty of. It's unclear how long he's been a guest of Canada, but apparently it doesn't date back to the 90s or he would have heard of Oka.
For those who don't know, Oka was the railroad blockade of the previous century: a bunch of whiny Red Indians were upset that land they claimed was theirs (it wasn't) was being turned by its rightful owners into a golf course (technically the expansion of an existing course). The golf course plan wasn't cleared with the injuns, true, but it wasn't cleared with white farmers in southern Saskatchewan either nor should it have been.
Therefore the Oka injuns setup an illegal road blockade blocking access to the golf course. After over a week of this, cops tried to clear it out. The injuns insisted that they didn't have such a concept as "one leader" and therefore the police had to negotiate with all of them (by contrast, the Freedom Convoy had a set number of people who were authorized to speak for the entire protest even though they had no real authority nor need for authority against individuals protesting on public lands that weren't roadways). As a result of their primitive stubbornness, the injuns refused to move. Police tried to break it up, and in return the injuns started invading other public works including bridges. Sound familiar?
Unlike the Freedom Convoy, the Red Indians were armed with firearms which they used to shoot at the cops with. They even murdered a white police officer with an AK-47: poor Cpl. Marcel Lemay was killed by an illegal assault weapon which had been restricted (read: banned) since 1978. In response the cops confiscated some popcorn makers. No, wait, sorry, they retreated and let the Red Indian(s) responsible for the murder escape justice to this very day. For comparison, not a single injun was killed or even injured by police bullets.
The Red Indians dug in, got additional backup (with more illegal automatic weapons), and continued to blockade major roads cutting parts of Montreal off from each other. Over a month after the initial blockade the major bridge in Montreal became a full-on riot by the Red Indians: officers were wounded, police vehicles were destroyed, and ultimately members of the general public were hospitalized. For those keeping score, no Emergencies Act was declared (despite Montreal being a much more major city than Ottawa) despite all of the actual violence against officers and members of the public. By contrast, the Freedom Convoy has been confirmed by an inquiry and multiple public statements as having no violence whatsoever.
The Freedom Convoy (which I was in briefly between Jasper and Edmonton) arrived in Ottawa on January 29th. It was broken up on February 20th, barely three weeks later. The Oka crisis which began on March 11th wasn't ended until September 2nd. That makes it over seven and a half times the length of time that the Freedom Convoy was in Ottawa. During the military breakup of the blockades (after it was a planned takedown reached through negotiation, another fringe benefit the Freedom Convoy was denied that nonwhite Red Indians were granted) was the single case of violence against the injuns: a 14-year old kid took a break from sniffing gas to play angry screaming jackpine savage vs. bayonet and lost about as badly as you might expect.
The Oka Crisis was very gross for white Canadians to watch: our own country was invaded by a group of savages who insist they aren't of this country and they were extended every possible courtesy even as they Indian gave up and down by constantly moving their goalposts. What's still gross years later is ignorant nonwhites like Pat Hughes who thinks the world around him is exactly the opposite of what it is.
It continues, of course, to this very day. When savage Red Indians burned hundreds of historic churches across the country, the authorities raised a collective shrug: one of 68 suspects has been arrested to date. Compare that to, say, a single case of vandalism against a mosque.
Speaking of the Freedom Convoy, Ezra Levant notes that Red Indians protesting in BC were not treated the same way as (interestingly enough, nonwhite) Tamara Lich. So yet again, whites are watching as Canadian laws are violently violated by nonwhites with little-to-no-consequence.
There are no perks to being white in modern-day Canada.
Nonwhites on the other hand have a free pass to be as vicious and uncivilized as their skin colour would indicate. And its getting worse and worse every week.
Check your privilege, Pat.
