Canadian Government Getting Very Upset Over Freedom Truckers, Declare State Of Emergency |
2022-02-08 |
[PC] See, if this was a BLM/Antifa/Progressive mostly peaceful protest, with the accompanying violence, arson, destroying businesses, looting, and so forth, the government would be fine, since it wouldn’t be challenging the power of the government. Canada police seen getting tough as trucker protests continue As the protest against the Canadian government’s health measures and vaccine mandates entered the eleventh day on Monday, police have threatened to clamp down after facing criticism for lack of action that has crippled the national capital.ZOMG, bouncy houses! And, of course they’re saying this is primarily being funded by non-Canadians, despite protests occurring all over Canada at this point. The Ottawa police are very enthusiastic to arrest people who "attempt to bring material support" to people engaged in their Constitutional right of protest. The police do not say what laws people would be breaking. The laws and Constitutional are apparently fungible in Canada. And CTV News is Very Upset that the truckers erected buildings to hand out food and stuff. |

#17 CBC has become so obviously a State Propaganda organ that the bias is nearly palpable. Do these people have no integrity whatsoever? I tend to discount those who say we need a revolution, but by Zeus, these totalitarian toadies are making the case for at least a big purge of most of the major institutions. |

#15 The Canadian parliament was in session yesterday. Apparently there was no motion filed to express "no confidence" in Castro's Bastreau. |

#14 Meanwhile in Canada: On Monday, Ontario Superior Court Justice Hugh McLean issued a 10-day injunction, effective as of yesterday, banning stationary trucks from honking their horns in the Freedom Convoy. Put it into gear, move an inch forward - HONK! Put it into a different gear, back up an inch - HONK! |

#12 I don't think it would have to be coast to coast, just confine the truck strike to Ottawa and Toronto. Let the residents out, but don't let them back in. |

#11 Civil disobedience is the way to go. A coast-to-coast truckers' strike depriving the blue enclaves of their Whole Foods organic tofu, their bottled water and their heating oil will bring the Wokesters to (both) their knees in short order. |

#7 Any totalitarian government will not abide looking foolish (ban comedians) and powerless (Ban protests). If those things go on, you can expect the full force of violence for the state to come out and play. |

#5 On Sunday night, police began removing gas and fuel supplies at a logistics encampment set up by protesters Seems to recall certain maneuvers by Gen. Gates's redcoats in Concord the night of 18 April 1775 |
