Canada’s Truckers are Fighting for the Liberty of All People
Townhall.com ^ | February 4, 2022 | Cliff Nichols

Yesterday 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 video taped 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."

To which, 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.

This morning, Ottawa Police Service Chief Peter Sloly raised the stakes. At a press conference he said:

“All plans are on the table to end the protest in Ottawa … from negotiated to enforced removal … officers have been working with city and police legal services teams to pursue an injunction against the protesters and have considered military involvement.” (emphasis added)

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 lop-sided affair.

But, the bigger question is, why?

What is it that has brought Canadians to this precipice?

A vax mandate?

Unlikely.

Everyone with half a brain knows by now that the vaccinations being mandated not only in Canada, but around the world, are a joke. They don’t work, as proven by Canada’s Prime Minister Trudeau himself. Twice jabbed, he still claims to have gotten covid at the same time that he fled the truckers arriving in Ottawa and seemed to need a reason to justify his skipping town. Thus, he has now made himself nothing less than the poster boy for the proposition that when it comes to getting covid, even the vaxxed are often vukked.

So, why is he insisting on prolonging this truckers’ debacle and possibly even calling the military down on his own people when his cause—that all must be vaccinated against a virus with a 99% survival rate barring the presence of co-morbidities—has become such a joke in terms of its negligible positive impact on the general population?

Is it possible that the mandate issue is only symbolic of a greater cause that is presently at stake, not only in Canada, but in nations around the world: The forfeiture of people’s liberty to some form of a globalist government tyranny? Concurrent similar events in Australia, the United States and nations across Europe suggest this to be a very real possibility that, like Canada, have resulted in massive gatherings of people protesting their governments’ efforts to control the lives, businesses, employment and education of their people with an iron fist.

For both sides in this controversy that has arisen in nations around the world, the issue that seems to be clearly crystalizing is: which side will bend their knee in submission to the other—the people or their governments?

Will the voice of the people for freedom be heard and prevail or will it be silenced by their government? Will the right of people to assemble and protest their government be acknowledged and valued, or will it be stilled by their governments that are intent upon ruling by diktat? Will the governments respond to the wishes of what some have come to call We The People or will the leaders of those governments call in the military to enforce their will dictating that their subjects shall submit and obey to their edicts regardless of the impact those edicts may have upon the rights of the people to life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness?

In Canada, time will soon tell.

The answer to these questions lies presently in the hands of men like Justin Trudeau. Pray for all in Canada that he choose wisely, or he may only succeed in making his citizens wish they had a Second Amendment like their neighbors to the south.

you will be forfeiting the trucks to the Crown...

So they can be handed over to hordes of foreign immigrants the Crown is threatening to import to take over the trucking industry.

CTA continues call for truck driver immigration program

OTTAWA, Ont. – The Canadian Trucking Alliance (CTA) continues its push for a trucking-focused immigration program to help offset a shortage of truck drivers.

Except its not just about guns, its about will.
Okay, so the military/police apparatus comes in, maybe even imprisons or even shoots a few truckers. Trudeau declares martial law from his bunker.

Who delivers (or even manufactures) the ammunition, the fuel, the food to maintain the war machine? And my understanding is that Canada's attempts on firearms didn't really grab them all.

If a sizeable chunk of the population refuses to comply, Trudeau can scream all he likes from his bunker and gets nothing.

....to say that Canada has no 2nd Ammendment is true. To imply that, as a result, Canadian people have no guns is not true.

I’ve been through Canadian Border offices with a truck full of guns out in my vehicle and turned over my PALS paperwork to the Canadian RCMP officer on duty. He scanned the several pages in about 15 seconds, asked for my $25.00 fee and I paid him whereupon I walked out the door.

Simply put, Canadians have guns but they are, relative to in the U.S., extremely regulated with many types of guns being illegal to possess. That said, I don’t think the RCMP is under any illusion about Canadians having guns available to them if the shooting starts.

Immigration is not necessarily bad. It's illegal immigration and out of control immigration that is bad.

The Canadian Army is barely large enough to stage a parade let alone fight a civil war, and a good hunk of it is deployed overseas on peace keeping missions for the UN. The active duty force is 23,000 with 19,000 reserves. That is roughly the size of the New York City police department which has 36,000 officers and 19,000 civilian employees. Canada has nearly 5x the population of New York City and is geographically bigger than the USA. I appreciate the bravura of those two Mounties but Canadians can only be ruled by consent and right now Her Majesty’s government does not have that.

BTW any civil war in Canada would quickly spill across the US-Canada border and plunge us into one too.

Wow interesting stats.

and Canada has .06%

I’m sure Branden will send in a few thousand US forces to help put down these violent Canadian insurrectionists.

Canada does have a small navy - ~12,500 regulars and 4,000 reserves as well as an Air Force with 12,000 personnel and 2,000 reserves. Much of the Air Force is deployed on peace keeping missions as well.

Apparently their primary line of defense is to be perceived as the world’s moral superpower.

Should the Danes decide to launch an attack on Newfoundlnd from Greenland the Canadian military is well suited to drive them into the sea. Tens of thousand of angry truck drivers may be a different story. I guess they will need to call Joe Biden for help guarding Trudeau’s secret Beaver Lair. Joe can send a couple of tranny brigades to scratch the eyes right out of those nasty truckers unmasked faces.

Well the left is doing its best to portray them in the worst absolute light. Apparently some of the leaders hate Islam. Oh no!

Good analysis. This is thanks to decades of liberal rule that our military is so under funded.
