On Monday afternoon, MSNBC anchor Katy Tur feared a protest by Canadian truckers against government COVID regulations was tantamount to a “national insurrection.” She then brought on a Canadian journalist who detailed the threats posed by the demonstrators: Plinko, pizza ovens, saunas, and hot tubs.
“The mayor of Ottawa has declared a state of emergency as truckers protest Canada’s COVID vaccine requirements. Thousands of truckers have virtually shutdown the city, with Canadian officials calling the situation a, quote, ‘nationwide insurrection,’” Tur warned at the top of the segment. However, she then admitted: “The protests, which have been going on for over a week – more than a week, have not resulted in any serious physical violence so far…”
**SNIP**
Moments later, Tur again hyped: “We’ve heard it called a nationwide insurrection. It sounds like, you know, you’re talking about closed streets in the center of town there. It sounds like it’s causing quite a bit of havoc not just in that city but across the country.” It was at that point that Bergeron-Oliver breathlessly described the supposed danger posed by the protest:
Following that list of horrors, the reporter whined: “And so the big question has been, why isn’t Ottawa Police enforcing this stronger? They say they just don’t have the resources, that this situation is too volatile….it’s getting too dangerous to do much of anything.”
Tur worried: “It’s incredible to hear they have saunas set up or pizza ovens set up.”

I would watch that video…
BWB updated—still 4:15. I suspect it was getting slightly worse and they waited until they could post no change. Coutts is now an hour and a half late.
I have no reason to doubt you, my point is, making things inconvenient for the politicians in Ottawa is one thing, stopping major commerce from coming across the border and potentially shutting down of factories, etc. raises the stakes a bunch.
Yes it does. The guys in Ottawa are holding the fort down.
You have to wonder as this thing keeps going and appears to have growing support of the public when the political calculation is made to drop the mandates and end the situation.
The easy thing for Trudeau to do is end the mandates and everyone goes home, liberals never change position on anything and are now stuck.
A key will be if members of his party start to change their position.
The left has to always be right. This is one of their biggest errors . They always overplay their hand too.
I think that many of them have become drunk on these emergency powers that allow them to bully and dictate to people. Giving that up is not what they want so they will do whatever it takes to keep them.
“with Canadian officials calling the situation a, quote, ‘nationwide insurrection,’”
Dear Canadian Government,
If you are truly having a “nationwide insurrection” you’re doing government wrong.
Insurrection = Their On To Our Scam
I love the hoax hate swastisker.
Ours shoot citizens for reaching for their wallet after they are asked for ID...
So yes... I think so.
