Ottawa mayor Jim Watson has declared a state of emergency in the city over ongoing trucker protests.

In a news release Sunday, the city said the decision, “reflects the serious danger and threat to the safety and security of residents posed by the ongoing demonstrations and highlights the need for support from other jurisdictions and levels of government.”

It will also give the city more flexibility, the release added.

“State of Emergency” is now the only excuse they need to implement another “Mandate”
Most of FR knew this was coming.

They are trying to provoke an angry response from the demonstrators, since the Pantifa-BLooMers didn’t succeed.

I think a general Strike may be the next tool to be deployed against this cabal.

Every move the Canadian government has made so far is the exact wrong thing to have done.

The more they clamp down, the more they are going to turn the populace against them.

Like the Star Wars scene with Princess Leah and General Tarkan.
“ The more you tighten your grip tarkin, the more star systems will slip through your fingers.”

All the government has to do is drop the vaccine mandate. It's simple.

Honestly, it behooves everyone here in this country to prepare for the near future.

If and when the US truckers start, the shortages we have already been seeing will only get worse.

Up until recently, we have not had much in supply chain issues, but there have been a lot of bare shelves in the grocery stores lately, and the prices on some items have sky rocketed.

Fortunately, spring is coming for those who can and do garden. That will help with the food situation, but other goods, not so much.

FATHER GOD,

We ask for the fear of the LORD to fall upon Justin Trudeau and every corrupt government official in Ottawa and every province. May they shake in their boots when You scare them with your warnings as they lay in bed in their deepest sleep.

Cause the government officials to fold and give freedom back to the people.

In JESUS’ Name we pray. AMEN.

But they won’t, and that’s exactly my point.
They are tyrants. They know the vaccine is essentially useless to current variants.
It’s completely about control.

AMEN!!!!!!!

And protect those who are simply asking for a reasonable accommodation for the citizens of Canada, and any country where they are fighting for freedom. Amen.

Requesting the mandates be lifted is NOT a big deal. It’s not like they are demanding an overthrow of the government or that they do something immoral or illegal.

Covid is over and people want their lives back, all risks included.

This whole scenario has been a shameless power grab which tells anyone with half a brain that it was never about out health as much as control.

LORD, the governments in Canada and America have become corrupt. They do not serve You, they do not honor You, and they do not serve the people of their nations. Please, LORD, in the name of your son Jesus, turn their hearts, have them come to know you via the narrow gate, through a soul saving relationship with Jesus Christ. No Jesus, God, results in no peace. Know Jesus, know peace. Thank you, LORD for opening the hearts and minds of those who don’t know You to Your son, Jesus.

I am quite sure he and his thugs won’t be the ones cold and hungry.

To achieve their ends, they will throw the citizens of Ottawa under the bus and let THEM do the starving and freezing. Those of liberal persuasion who are not part of the elite are just useful idiots to them.

The masses are just fodder for politicians to achieve their ends of control and power and making sure they live comfortable and safe lives. The hoi-polloi be damned.
