Honk! Honk! Canadian PM Won't Send the Army to Remove Anti-Mandate Truckers for a Simple Reason
Town Hall ^ | 7 Feb 2022 | Matt Vespa

Posted on 02/07/2022 7:11:28 AM PST by Rummyfan

Our neighbors to the north are still honking for freedom. In Ottawa, the army of truckers protesting the vaccine mandate pushed by Prime Minister Justin Trudeau is driving liberals insane. There are reports of violence breaking out. I’m obliged not to believe them. This is the media that lies, folks. The CBC even suggested that this freedom convoy was a Russian intelligence operation. Sorry—no, not believing the manufactured garbage that this anti-mandate protest is something worse than what we saw during the summer of 2020 in the United States where armed leftists burned and looted cities across the country. It is different in that the freedom fighters in Canada are doing none of those things. It’s an actual peaceful protest.

Shocker, it can be done without setting buildings ablaze and robbing everyone blind.

The mayor of Ottawa tossed out the possibility of getting the Canadian Armed Forces to clear out the protesters, which is insane. It speaks to the heart of this mandate nonsense. In the mind of the left-winger, truckers who refused to be jabbed for a virus with a 99-plus percent survival rate are the insane ones but using the military in a martial law exercise to ensure compliance is totally rational. Just smile, everyone. We’re witnessing people afflicted with extreme mental illness

The truckers protest is a revolt of the common people against the liberal elitist overlords. Trudeau and his liberal elites loath the common people like the truckers and believe that this ignorant rabble cannot make the “right” decisions in their own lives. Only the liberal elites are smart enough and must through mandates force the common people to do their will. Of course the elites exempt themselves from the mandates.

It is no different in the US where common people have been labeled bitter clingers, deplorables and now racist extremists. People are seeing that the elites don’t follow the same mandates as they would have us do. Orwell said it so well….”All animals are equal but some animals are more equal than others”

The government (and by extension the media and big tech) have lost the argument.

They still haven't figured it out. What is it going to take?

Wait what exactly happened? Did Trudeau order the military And did the military refuse the order?

Both of those things should be really big stories if true.

With a score of countries abandoning the mandates, including the UK, TrueDope even has an out and could justify ending it based on the lead of these other countries, but commies gotta commie.

Ignorance can be fixed. Stupid cannot.

In many places, stupid voters listened to CNN crappola and voted as they were told. In many cases, other stupid people were installed in office ( I did not say “elected”).

If the NPC’s (aka stupids) outnumber the not, there is no fix.

You can’t force Truckers to deliver goods to FACIST cities.

These truckers need to pick one city or area at a time and refuse deliveries in, out, or within. Don't let up until EVERY public employee that supported the Pfascist diktats resigns or is recalled.

The spirit in Canada’s FreedomConvoy is like our spirit in 1776.

The Canadians are use to complying and not having protests. They are well known for being a polite and kind people.

Sad to say that today the maple leaf flies higher for freedom than the stars and stripes does.

Think of all the available tree branches.

The bright red symbol is like a burning bush reduced to a single leaf.

And now it's showing up everywhere.

February -- it's the start of maple syrup season.

Truckers have a potent weapon to use against government abuse.

If the government cracks down on the protesting truckers they risk motivating all truckers to join the protest. If every truck in Canada stops moving that could be a big deal. They don’t have to drive anywhere to have an enormous effect.

Anybody have an idea of what percentage of trucks are still delivering goods in Canada? Perhaps the fun hasn’t even started yet.

Parliament needs to have a no-confidence vote. If it succeeds, the Trudeau regime falls and new elections are called.

If they lose, they only stay in power long enough for a cabinet to be formed. (i.e., a few days.) That short period worried me.

That's the thing - it took a special kind of stupid to whip such laid back people into a state of organized revolt. There's alot of other places I expected to go kinetic, but Canada. Have noticed an acceleration of backpedaling on the covid tyranny in various jurisdictions worldwide. Perhaps the thinking is if resistance can effectively coalesce in lil' ole Canada, of all places, it can manifest anywhere and various poltroon politicians don't want to be caught trying to negotiate out of such a corner. Best to cut and than to suffer bad optics from something they have no talent to deal with. They're seeing how bad Trudeau is floundering, don't wanna be him.

Sure worked out great for Herbert Hoover.
