11 Feb (12 Feb Australia): Rebel News: Australia’s BIGGEST convoy descends on the capital
A huge anti-mandate protest is underway in Australia today
By Avi Yemini
Last night traffic was brought to a standstill as cars, caravans, trucks and buses flooded into the city from all states...

VIDEO: 1m15s: MASSIVE: A bird’s eye view of the convoy heading to Parliament House right now in Canberra.

Livestreams of the event are struggling to broadcast online with many displaying ‘no signal’ messages on YouTube and Facebook.

Protesters have been camping at Exhibition Park after their ‘tent city’ was moved on from outside the National Library.
They have been been given an eviction notice to vacate the site by Sunday so the grounds carry out ‘significant works’ in relation to the upcoming Royal Canberra Show held February 25 to 27...

The only sane response to such a tyrannical threat is an international truckers strike.

Nothing moves

Shipping grinds to a halt.

This may well be the shot heard around the world. I pray the Canadians stand their ground. This is the hill worthy to die on.

I see this as a ploy to strengthen Ontario’s negotiating position. Even after the charges and license pulls are levied, they could be rescinded if a deal is cut. Once the charges are levied, if say 1/3 of the truckers remain, there are no more cudgels to use, but the rescission of the penalties can be used as a bargaining chip. Canada doesn’t really want to lose hundreds of truckers. They won’t collect the full amount on the fines, either, and there is no room in the jails for all of the truckers.

The more truckers stay (easy for me to say) the stronger their position.

If they don’t want a convoy, I say let the truckers strike. Park their trucks & refuse to drive.
