FIRST READING: Military tells Ottawa to find someone else to evict the truckers
National Post ^ | February 4, 2022 | Tristin Hopper

Posted on 02/04/2022 3:29:24 PM PST by Norski

Despite the Ottawa Police briefly raising the possibility of a military intervention to clear a stubborn holdout of Freedom Convoy truckers blockading their downtown, the Canadian Armed Forces have been quick to say they will be doing no such thing . A spokesperson for the Minister of Defence told the Wall Street Journal on Thursday, “The Canadian Armed Forces are not involved in law enforcement in this situation, and there are no plans for such CAF involvement.”

Prime Minister Justin Trudeau also said

” . . .Freedom Convoy is technically polling higher than the Liberal Party of Canada right now . A new Abacus Data poll found that 32 per cent of Canadians “have a lot in common with the protesters and how they see things.” That’s not a lot, but the latest Nanos poll had the Liberals polling at just 28.2 per cent if an election were to be held tomorrow. Another interesting takeaway from the Abacus Poll? Of Green Party supporters, 57 per cent are on board with the truckers.”.

No Tiananmen moment, then. Unless Ottawa has some tanks.

Wouldn’t this typically mean the end of any politician who was told “no” by his military?”

What's REALLY sad is that if the military HERE were asked to intervene against our Truckers protesting mandates, THEY'D AGREE TO TAKE ACTION.

USSA.

From: https://www.rebelnews.com/canadian_soldiers_cautioned_against_showing_any_support_for_trucker_protest

An email leaked to Rebel News Friday morning, sent by Lt. Jennifer MacCosham, the public affairs officer of 8 Wing, the Royal Canadian Air Force base in Trenton, Ontario, to members of the air force threatens disciplinary action and possible firing for anyone publicly supportive of the convoy protests taking place all across Canada in opposition to COVID-19 restrictions:

Team,

As you know there is polarizing discussions taking place across the country, including multiple protests occurring in Ottawa and some other locations across Canada. Please remind all your members that any action or decision, to include the use of social media (in or out of uniform), in which a CAF member publicly expresses a statement or supports any activities, which calls into question the integrity, impartiality or non-partisanship of the DND and the CAF is neither appropriate nor authorized IAW Refs A to C. It constitutes a disobedience of a lawful order and may be a conflict of interest. Accordingly, members engaging in these actions may be subject to one or more of the following:

a. Change of duties;

b. Imposition of remedial measures and administrative action including release; and/or

c. Disciplinary action under the Code of Service Discipline.”

In a series of tweets published Friday morning, Ottawa police promised a strict Venezuelan-style crackdown on thousands of Canadians who descended on the nation’s capital last weekend to protest lockdowns and vaccine passports.

More protesters are expected to bring their trucks to Ottawa this weekend.

Police referred to the convoy as a “dangerous,” and “well-funded occupation,” while promising to erect barricades and use equipment to block people from entering the downtown core.

Though police have called the protest violent, independent news website, Blacklock’s Reporter, detailed the decline in crime in Ottawa over the week since the protest began.

Canadians are showing more balls and a greater understanding of freedom than Americans, to their credit and to our shame.

Assuming that the order comes from a duly appointed member of the chain of command it's very difficult to imagine the order being disobeyed or ignored.

“America Is Next’: The Grassroots Protest Sweeping the Globe Is Set to Begin in the Land of the Free
By Jack Davis January 31, 2022 at 7:45am

After truckers held supporters of freedom spellbound for a week as they trekked across Canada to protest the government’s vaccine mandates, indications are emerging that America might be catching the fever to show coast-to-coast resistance.

Former President Donald Trump gave the “Freedom Convoy” truckers and their supporters a shout-out Jan. 29 during his massive rally in Conroe, Texas.

“We want those great Canadian truckers to know that we are with them all the way,” he told the crowd.

Trump said the truckers and their legions of supporters were “doing more to defend American freedom than our own leaders by far.”

Trump’s eldest son, Donald Trump Jr., had voiced his support for the convoy in a video posted to Facebook on Jan. 25.

“We need to see more of this here in the U.S. … Let’s support these truckers fighting for freedom, fighting as patriots in their country and patriots in America,” he said. “We need more people willing to push back and say enough is enough to the nonsense.”

He might get his wish.

A Facebook group called Convoy to DC 2022 had more than 90,000 members as of Monday morning, Jan. 31.

“We are part of many large groups who believe in our founding fathers. We believe everyone has a voice. We support our freedom. Help us spread the word about this group and together we all can make it a better place … God Bless America,” the group’s description reads.

A social media video that featured a man identified only as “Brian Von D” promised action, although no date was mentioned.

“Just know that America is next. We’ve given y’all time. We’ve given y’all a heads up,” he said.

Good for them, if this is really true. I wonder if our military would do the same. Used to think they would, but not so sure now.
