Yes, and have your cameras handy and shoot videos! And then try to get the heck out of there and post it far and wide on the internet. Warning: the police will try to confiscate your camera because they know its value.

Know that justice is slow to move but it does eventually move.

Winning the hearts and minds is important. The leftists have difficulty defending violence.

Canada is on a very slippery slope. Incremental abuses have a way of stacking up.

The moment of truth for them has arrived. Further acquiesence in the face of abuses will only bring on more.

If he was live streaming, the video previous to arrest is out there somewhere right?

-- You won't be able to say: "I was just following orders" as a defense. --

They won't need a defense if the government wins, or more generally if they are on whichever side wins. There would be no Neuremberg trials if Germany won WWII.

Said another way, the winner is always right, because the winner is the judge of right and wrong.

Government can easily crush opposition with its military.

They had all kinds of trucks with weaponry attached. You would think these tired truckers were Putin’s army. I saw ambulances , fire trucks, you name it. Busloads of cops, big tow trucks with no plates and names.

The lack of independent cameras is not a good sign.

I believe they are going to use that device the Australian nazis used on the people.

I’m not seeing much evidence to support that lately. Either in Canada or here. Especially here where we have a tiered system that protects some at the expense of seeking justice for others. We see constant examples of this systemic breakdown every week.

Many folks are fed up with it.

I am not sure, but he had it all and documented this monster size attack. ZOT is young and was overwhelmed by the weaponry brought in.

That is why he was arrested in reality.

Had an interesting conversation yesterday evening with two young fellows, Iraqi origin. They found out I could speak a little Arabic and had been to Baghdad way back when Saddam was at the height of his power (1982). Their parents still talk about having to be careful of everything said, even at home. Dictator's portrait on every wall in every room in every home and office. Everyone a potential informant. Total paranoia, straight out of "1984".

Today the boot stomping to the face in Canada. Tomorrow?

Come to think of it, I wonder if cutting off all video and bringing in all these “troops” if the plan is to plant evidence to smear those truckers like they did here on January 6th?

They can say, we needed all of this because those truckers had weapons and explosives.

Yep. It took the Iraqis some time after Saddam was caught to get used to speaking freely. They would still look furtively around before saying much, even on coalition bases.

Then in 2006, a local Iraqi buyer who worked for us procuring various supplies in Baghdad was ranting to me, irritated at something PM al Maliki had said or done. He was working up a good lather and then stopped and asked me, “Why are you smiling?”

I said, “Because you are able to criticize your leaders without any fear. I like that.”

He then smiled as it dawned on him that this was part of freedom.

If the truckers are forced to leave, then they should NEVER return. Not a single truck in or out of Ottowa. In fact. Not a single truck to any port. Just stay home guys. Let Trudeau announce fining, arresting, and bankrupting people for NOT working. That outta be good.

The little faggots thugs just arrested Zot, who’s been live-streaming since day 1.

What unmitigated scum.

Paranoia indeed.

A lot of people don’t understand how insecure many of the ruling elites really are. Everyone below them is viewed as a potential challenger to their authority and power.

You often see a similar dynamic in the workplace.

"They aren't allowing anyone to leave peacefully. We had a meeting this morning with drivers. We agreed to leave peacefully from Wellington street. Police are barricading us in now," McKenzie told me. #FreedomConvoy2022 Truckers tell me they will peacefully stand their ground.
