| Canada protests: Police arrest leaders of trucker convoy |
| 2022-02-18 |
| [BBC] Police in Ottawa have detained two leaders of the trucker convoy in the Canadian capital as they move to break up the last stronghold of the protests against the nation's Covid rules. Tamara Lich was arrested on Thursday evening after Chris Barber was held, with both expected to be charged criminally, according to CBC News. Authorities have already cleared other protests located at border crossings. It comes days after Canada invoked an emergency law for the first time. However, officers were not yet moving in force on the remaining demonstrators on Thursday night - although interim Ottawa Police Chief Steve Bell warned earlier that if "they do not peacefully leave, we have plans". The Emergencies Act invoked by Prime Minister Justin Trudeau on Monday imposes bans on public assembly in some areas, among other measures. |

| #20 Australia: We are going to gun down puppy orphans. Ottawa: Attention animal owners at demonstration If you are unable to care for your animal as a result of enforcement actions, your animal will placed into protective care for 8 days, at your cost. After 8 days, if arrangements are not made, your animal will be considered relinquished. |

| #19 After two years of Zooming It In, and it safe enough to appear and receive, deflect questions? That's the tack? |

| #18 Saw that Argentina is bagging on Turdo. If someone can help clarify if wrong, but it was my understanding ratification of emergency measures must be submitted to Parliament. If so, and they are not, that would make the whole exercise illegal, right? The CBC should be boned for knowingly accepting stolen property. The RCMP - not Mounties, that is reserved for the awe inspiring legends, not gasoline thieves - are kind of following orders currently legal, those two orgs and all else involved could draw a broadside. The idea of The Trudeau Administration, advisors, and those who went along knowing that there was no intention to ever file for ratification should be on the hook financially, and criminally, sounds right. |

| #17 The Canadian Parliament is not in session because the gov't told them it was to dangerous to assemble. According to unreliable sources, when they do reconvene, they plan to rename the national anthem from "O Canada" to "O Canada, WTF?" |

| #16 Complete third world sh!thole; South Africa is condemning the actions by the gov’t; that tells you just how f’ed up it is. And the police are warning media to leave or they could also be arrested. Suspect Trudeau has opened a slow-burning an of whip-ass that will end up being dumped in his lap. |

| #15 What it says is that these monsters' bully-boy tactics are so obvious, so shameless, that anyone who's not part of the Deep State or the Swamp -- regardless of political persuasion -- can see that we are all of us fvcked if we don't bring this creeping fascism to a halt. Pronto. |

| #14 Story is over at Ace's. She even backs up her position when 'journalists' prod for a 'clarification'. "These unprecedented times." |

| #12 What in the hell is in the water in El Salvador, and where can we get some? Nayib Bukele, the President of El Salvador, has criticized Western leaders over vaccine mandates and crackdowns on protesters in a number of tweets over recent days. Bukele, 40, also hit back at calls from a group of U.S. Senators to curb his nation’s embrace of Bitcoin. “The real war is not in Ukraine, it’s in Canada, Australia, France, Brussels, England, Germany, Italy,” Bukele said in reference to totalitarian mandates. “They just want you to look the other way.” |

| #11 Annndd.....Omar calls out media for doxxing donaters. Whether she believes it or wants to be on the right side of the polls, sure says a lot either. |

| #10 The Turdos have been consistent in threatening financial violence against private and corporate accounts, so it sounds like it. "Tell your boys to return the dump trucks or we shut down the quarry." kind of thing. |

| #9 I had heard that independent truckers only make up 20% of the trucker population in Canada. Are the non-independent truckers joining in the protests? |

| #6 Just pointing out: Truckers are not dropping dead left & right. There is not a constant stream of medical emergencies. These have not become leper colonies. And there was no concern of this happening. From any side. Friendly reminder - the freezing of bank accounts isn't targeting the drivers, that is targeting the wife, kids. And this is for the record, backing that plan puts you in favor of starving kids in the cold. Quite Soviet, really. |

| #4 Canada, 2026: "I was a police officer. A respected person. Now, I can be beaten in the street if I have money in my pocket or am caught driving a car. This is totally unfair. I was just following orders. Doing my job. I didn't reliably vote for Treudeau to be treated like this..." |

| #2 The Left's way of thinking because they only engage in projection. They have no way of understanding. |

| #1 When a Canada wide trucker's strike strips grocery shelves, Lich and Barber will be quickly released. I suspect Trudeau tenure will soon be found in the dustbin of history. His popularity is slipping nearly as rapidly as Brandon's. |
