I wonder if the best strategy would be to crank up the trucks and leave. They have made their point.

But not to quit. Rather to go home and make certain that no trucks move across the border.

Below zero weather, slick roads, high winds, poor viability....Inexperienced drivers would never keep the Canadian economy from collapsing.

Just as in any fight or battle, there is a time to jab and a time to swing the knockout punch.

This might be the time to jab and get a second wind.

Agree. A tactical retreat is still being on overall offense. All Rambo all the time is dumb. You need to fight smart.

I would love to be a fly on the wall of truckers meetings.

I have no doubt that when they planned this event, they considered all the possible scenarios this could end with, up to and including this worst possible case scenario.

I wonder what their plans were for this.

Would pulling out and doing a general truckers strike nationwide be the better option or sitting tight, daring them to try to arrest all of them and tow their trucks, which can’t be done without the towing companies?

And what about the general populace opinion?

They have had tremendous support and this is NOT going to win the favor of anyone. On the contrary, it may push any fence sitters right into the supporting the truckers camp.

But they have seen zero in concessions from the government. That isn't "making a point".

When they get elimination of the "mandates", they will have truly made their point.

It might be good to start a new tactic, attacking from a different angle. I do believe that it is too late to relocate all those trucks and equipment to another position of advantage. Time is getting short.

Some police officer is going to overreact and spark up a conflagration. Or some government supporter will start a false-flag project that literally blows up in his face.

"Unexpectedly".

I hope the truckers have plans to deal with such things.

And let’s not forget, the farmers have reportedly joined the striking trucker’s, so even if Trudope has gub’ment trucks waiting in the sidelines, there may be nothing to deliver.
