Coronavirus Mandates Start Dropping in Canada as Freedom Convoy Rolls On
Breitbart ^ | 02/02/2022 | Francis martel

Regional governments in Canada have begun announcing plans to drop onerous civil rights restrictions on their citizens meant to contain the Chinese coronavirus this week following mounting pressure from national protests, most prominently the “Freedom Convoy” in Ottawa.

The so called “anti-hate network” is upset that some of the truckers are Islamophobes. Hell, I hate Islam, and think that is my right. Why is Islam so special that no one is allowed to hate it.

I don’t feel sorry at all for those that live in Ottawa. Enemy territory as far as I’m concerned. Glad a monkey wrench was thrown in their gilded lives. I bet 90% of them are fan boys of clown shoes.

But if Justin does that now, it would look like the Truck convoy was the game-changer ... so they would get the credit.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Brandeau really has a problem. There is no identifiable group that has come out in support of him... not even in the medical community and fact the nurses are against him. So far the premiers haven’t really cracked even though we saw the premier of Saskatchewan call for backing off on mandatory vaccinations at the border for truckers.

What will be the most interesting to watch is what Kenney in Alberta does.... there have been negotiations going on where the issue is whether the blockade can be lifted for one lane at the Coutts border crossing as a sign of ‘good faith’. The comments at Rebel Media are fairly united on this that all mandates have to be lifted first. https://www.rebelnews.com/rural_alberta_mlas_set_to_discuss_lifting_all_mandates However, I see that the National Post just reported that in fact they’ve just reached an agreement to open one lane in each direction...
https://nationalpost.com/news/canada/truck-blockade-continues-at-u-s-border-as-rcmp-ready-to-make-arrests-tow-vehicles

Premier Ford in Ontario has been mysteriously quiet... Ottawa may be Canada’s capitol but it is in Ontario. The province was already on track to lift some restrictions soon but not much is being said about the truckers.

I see that the federal Conservatives have just ousted O’Toole as their leader after a backbench revolt that called for a leadership vote. I wonder if there might be a few backbencher Liberals who might be wondering about a break from Brandeau....

Last but not least are the truckers who have been amazing to watch.....holding a steady as it goes grip on the wheel and steely eyed gaze down the road. They have repeatedly said that this goes way beyond just vax mandate for drivers crossing the border. I suspect it is those part of the demands from people way smarter than Brandeau that is causing him the most grief. He really is a well reinforced box....

“I saw a thread with link/s stating the US truckers intend to have an even LARGER presence, with their convoy to DC.”

I hope so. I also wouldn’t mind seeing those who can join in for an extended road/camping trip. This should be more than just the truckers, it should be any and all free citizens who can go along. :)

Here is something quite a few do not know. The CB radio channels are overwhelmed with “thank yous” to the truckers right now. Brings a smile to my face to listen all of this praise. :)

Hopefully the end is near

The end of the beginning

Coronavirus Mandates Start Dropping in Canada as Freedom Convoy Rolls On, as US Army Forcibly Discharges Non-Vaxxed Troops and the US Truck Convoy Has Yet to be Seen.

No no no lol. That wasn’t me.

Just more what I’d want to do - minus the swearing lol. I’d rather be out giving a piece of my mind to these miscreants than baking muffins is all I meant.

Thats the canary in the cage. OToole is a CINO ( same as Rino). He was mimicking the virtie signaling Bramdeau.And O’Toole rejected Conservative Party public meetings with the Freedom Convoy and allowed no competative response to Trudeau’s calling the truckers racists, frivoulous, etc.

Thats when the revolt happened.The Freedom Convoy was the catalyst.

NOw the Copnservative Party will attack the Liberals hammer and tongs.Watch it happen.

We can only hope you are correct... but you very likely are. We already saw Pierre and Candice in action over the past few days and they are certainly not in the mould of O’Toole.

Thwe Western Provinces are moving to take power in the Conservative Caucus.Stephen Harper did the same. I do believe they are on a roll.I think if this goes right Brandeau may come to an ignominious end.

The Western Provinces tend to be MAGA.

As Drichter said very smartly in the truckers’ press conference on Sunday, all these totalitarian-leaning ‘party leaders’ need to go and he mentioned Brandeau, Singh and O’Toole. As I said in another post, they are 1/3 of the way there.

I suspect that both Brandeau and Kenney have had a cold splash of reality waking them up to the fact they are out of options. What will be the icing on the cake is if something happens in Ontario that really slaps Ford up one side of the head and down the other. There is talk of something for this Saturday at Queen’s Park... .let’s see if that happens. I wouldn’t count on Torontonians for anything but if Queen’s Park get flooded with farmers and truckers like at Coutts, this could get very interesting. https://nationalpost.com/news/canada/is-toronto-the-next-stop-for-truckers-fringe-group-says-the-convoy-is-headed-to-queens-park And if truckers were to take on blocking the border crossing at Fort Erie, Windsor or Sarnia for example, it would really be lights out and just reinforce the box the spineless politicians are in even more. This would put Ford in the same box that Kenney is in and since Ottawa after all is in Ontario, that would put Ford in the position of needing to grow an instant pair, change his outlook 180 degrees and going after Brandeau. If he didn’t, he’ll be trampled by the mob of pitchforks behind him. Could that scenario happen? Of course.... immediately before the Coutts border crossing was blockaded, there was a massive rally at the Alberta legislature.

At some point, the Liberal backbenchers in Ottawa will have had enough but I think that before that in the grand timeline of things, we’re going to see NDP backbenchers push out Singh. The NDP are polar opposite to any thinking person’s political ideology but having said that, Singh is worse than terrible and he has nothing to offer even his own most ardent party supporters which are supposed to be the ‘common working class’. If this goes on for say a full week in Ottawa, I think Singh will be gone too. And if that happens.... look out for the Liberal backbenchers as to what they will do.
