Canada Police Poised to Clear ‘Freedom Convoy’ from Ottawa
Breitbart ^ | Feb. 18th, 2022 | Nathaniel Charles

Canada police plan to physically clear out the Ottawa Freedom Convoy on Friday after protests ground the capital to a halt for three weeks.

Local authorities announced they are preparing to take a more hard line approach after setting up 100 checkpoints in Ottawa to limit who can enter the city centre in an effort to disrupt reinforcements reaching the protest this weekend.

Large numbers of police have also been spotted congregating in the Canadian capital – with reinforcements being called in from Quebec – a subtle indication they are planning to take a more hands-on approach with the protestors.

The truckers and supporters should all chain themselves to the trucks- make the authorities look more like asses by having them work harder to remove them.

Also, hopefully American truckers have, or will announce that because of this, they will no longer deliver to Canada until,a formal apology is issued by the tyrant in power there

Thanks to mewzilla for bringing this to our attention on another thread.

The #HoC will not sit today, Friday, February 18. A police operation is expected in the downtown core of Ottawa. Given these exceptional circumstances, and following discussion with all recognized party leadership, the sitting today is cancelled. http://ow.ly/wJg850HYvP6

Looks like time to get the Freedom Convoy Prayer Vigil prayer group pinged out.

I saw another report where tow truck drivers, strong-armed to remove the trucks, are instead joining the protest.

Already is real. Police have smashed a window out of three trucks and arrested one person who refused to leave their truck.

I don't think their army or police numbers are sufficient.

Also-they can't have enough tow trucks (yes, trucks with DRIVERS) and they don't have enough impound lots to make this work!!

We don’t know that those personnel are LE.

They are refusing to show any kind of an ID or a badge.

Re: 13 - My guess is that they will find tow trucks with operators that will tow vehicles.

When I first read of the tow trucks I thought there is no way they will do anything against the truckers. Those lawmakers / apparatchiks are idiots that simply cannot think.
