Alberta Blockade Becoming a Matter of Government Officials Positioning to Save Face as Trucker Pressure Has Winning Leverage
The Conservative Treehouse ^ | 2 Feb, 2022 | sundance

The border crossing between Coutts, Alberta (CA) and Sweet Grass, Montana (USA) continues to be closed despite truckers opening a lane in either direction as a show of good faith. The dynamics in this regional part of the larger Freedom Convoy protests are very interesting. The Alberta protests are in support of the larger trucker protest taking place in Ottawa.

Last night, Alberta Premier Jason Kenney (the Robert the Bruce character in the province), disparaged the truckers in the protest group and claimed, without evidence, that violence was taking place in the confrontation between RCMP and the Truckers. It was all lies.

Just like Justin Trudeau makes stuff up for media stenographers to draw an alternate framework of reality, so too did Jason Kenney have the same motive. The painfully political Kenney, a visible elitist and detached politician, was playing his controlled opposition role and attacking the Freedom Truckers.

Just to give appropriate understanding for how detached these conservatives in Canada are from the people they claim to represent, Jason Kenney’s political worm traits were on full display during his prepared remarks on Tuesday. However, 24 hours later, as soon as his brother in controlled opposition Erin O’Toole was removed from political power, suddenly Premier Kenney has a change of heart and proclaims his allegiance to the Truckers, saying, “I’m on your side.” The slime oozes from this guy.

Despite all that, the truckers remained focused -reinforced their ranks- and engaged in conversation with the rural Ministers of Alberta’s Legislative Assembly (MLA’s). The MLA’s are apparently slightly less slimy creatures akin to political clan leaders in the province.

It's not just the Freedom Truckers. It's also all the people who have their backs. Case in point...

You go granny!

God bless them all!

There appears to be something major planned for Queen’s Park in Toronto this weekend. This could get very interesting if it becomes an Ottawa style event..... https://nationalpost.com/news/canada/is-toronto-the-next-stop-for-truckers-fringe-group-says-the-convoy-is-headed-to-queens-park

This blockade is directly affecting trucks of lumber shipping out of Alberta into MT. This interstate 15 is the main north/south route. Many of the Canadian sawmills in Alberta ship Btrains and Maxi trucks down to Shelby, MT where the lumber is loaded on the BNSF railroad.

It is causing major logistic problems in my industry. and I THINK IT IS GREAT!

Thank you Canadian truckers sticking up for OUR freedoms.

Everyone remembers driving in the family station wagon trying to get a trucker to blow his horn.the joy of truck horns is a favorite memory. The government should just hang it up they can’t win this fight
