Or will the prime minister's crackdown send a dire warning to the watching world?
On Wednesday in Ottawa, a police officer stepped into a bar to deliver a message from the Canadian government to the truckers protesting Canada's vaccine mandates. In the course of his videotaped delivery, among other things, he said:
Remove your trucks yourselves now ... or ... you will be forfeiting the trucks to the Crown and those associated with those trucks will be arrested.
One trucker responded to the officer, "Just remove the mandates, and we'll leave."
Apparently, that was an option the police were not yet willing to consider.
Thursday morning, Ottawa Police Service chief Peter Sloly raised the stakes. At a press conference, he said (emphasis added):
All plans are on the table to end the protest in Ottawa ... from negotiated to enforced removal[.] ... [O]fficers have been working with city and police legal services teams to pursue an injunction against the protesters and have considered military involvement.
Thus, for Canadians — and those around the world who are watching this drama play out — the question presently seems to be, will one side blink...or, will there be a civil war?
Hopefully, the latter will not be put into play. Because of the absence of a Second Amendment in that country, a civil war would, at best, be a lopsided affair.
But, the bigger question is, why?
What is it that has brought Canadians to this precipice?
A vax mandate?

This is going on longer than I expected. How do they re-fuel the trucks?
youtube short showed a shout out to the guy that brought in 2000 liters which he donated to truckers that needed it. Suspect that he is just one of many. The support seems wide and deep...people bringing food which the RCMP has tried to stop....just gets folks more pissed.
“Remove your trucks yourselves now ... or ... you will be forfeiting the trucks to the Crown and those associated with those trucks will be arrested. “
The response should be “Oh yea you goose stepping ahole, if one truck is seized there will be no truck deliveries to any government or police facilities until that is undone and full restitution is made. NONE!”
God bless them, and keep them safe. This seems to be developing into a movement
LOL!
The Deep State/Globalists have had enough time to calculate the amount of damage that would likely be done to their long-term agenda if the hoonking truckers in Canada are allowed to emerge from this episode thinking that they’ve “won” by forcing the federal government of Canada to eliminate all vexxationation mandates.
I hope the Canadians are prepared to withstand an unprecedented onslaught of tyranny.
Dollars to Donuts the Deep State is about to go all Beast Mode on them.
bump
Here are the problems for the government.
1) cracking down hard on the Truckers will generate even more sympathy for them and the polls indicate the public is already far more in support of them than it is with the government.
2) so you seize the trucks. Then what? Can you drive them? Can you deliver the goods? What happens when truckers all across Canada respond to this by going on a general strike. Who is going to deliver food and fuel and everything else to your cities? Who do you think the public is going to blame when they start going hungry?
The truckers have the government of Canada by the gonads and they know they are in a pickle. The truckers occupying Ottawa just have to sit tight. Video I saw last night (a week into this) shows they are getting much support from the people. Plenty of food, fuel, and other supplies are getting in to the truckers.
Isn't it funny how the "occupiers" of Wall Street were celebrated by the establishment media a few years back. A bunch of smelly bums with no apparent motive yet they were media darlings.
The truckers by contrast are hard working people who help to keep the country running and they have a clear and reasonable motive and purpose. Drop the vax mandates and end the COVID nonsense. That's all that needs to happen to get the truckers back on the roads.
Outside of a Tiananmen Square situation, the truckers have the upper hand here. The pathetic Trudeau has gone into hiding. Regardless of outcome, that schmuck has to go. No leadership ability whatsoever.
What happens when truckers declare a general strike all across Canada?
Don’t count on American truckers to fill in either - they overwhelmingly support their brothers in the North.
Fox News has been forced to cover the GoFundMe story, and by extension, the trucker story.
GoFundMe, now nixing Canadian trucker fundraiser, promoted Capitol Hill Occupied Protest appeal
By Adam Shaw | Fox News
Crowdfunding platform GoFundMe, which is now caught up in controversy over its nixing of a fundraiser for the Canadian trucker protests, once promoted an appeal for the 2020 Seattle Capitol Hill Occupied Protest (CHOP.)
The platform on Friday announced that it had frozen the convoy’s official campaign, offering a justification that there was violence connected to the Freedom Convoy and the protest had turned into an occupation. The truckers are protesting Canada’s vaccine mandates.
Interesting phrase. Originally it was an extremely likely, low odds bet. You were so sure of being right that you would bet a whole dollar for the chance of winning a mere donut. Now, considering prices, it is just about an even odds bet. If Bidenflation continues, "dollars to donuts" will be a risky, high odds bet. You will be betting a mere dollar for a chance to win a whole donut. It will be like winning the lottery.
Guns can be had on the black market and I am sure there will be many getting across the border.
Actually, I know there are means.
This reminds me of when Tricky Dick was about to go.
Truckers got off I-95 and drove past the White House and blasted their air horns in the thousands.
They joined cars and trucks and a good time was had by all.
Cept Nixon of course.
Any crackdown on the truckers will trigger a nationwide shutdown of the trucking industry in Canada.
Those in charge up there MUST know that. The people WILL win this. No government can go against its own people for very long.
People throughout Canada and the world now know the stakes are enormous. Freedom is on the line. Tyranny MUST be opposed at all costs.
The mandate nonsense has already been thrown out by many of the world’s governments. How can Trudeau swim against the massive changing tide?
