U.S offers Trudeau government help to end border blockade

White House says Homeland Security chief urged Ottawa to use its powers to quash this blockade

U.S officials have offered help the Trudeau government end an anti-vaccine mandate protest that is sending ripple effects through the American economy and causing increasing concern in Washington.

The White House says U.S officials had multiple conversations on Thursday with their Canadian counterparts about the blockade on the Ambassador Bridge, a major trade artery which connects Windsor, Ont. with Detroit.

The White House said Thursday the U.S. federal cabinet and senior administration staff are now seized with the issue.

"(They) have been engaged around the clock to bring this to a swift end," the White House said in response to questions from CBC News.

The administration of U.S President Joe Biden said Homeland Security Secretary Alejandro Mayorkas urged his Canadian counterparts Thursday to use their own federal powers to end the blockade at the Canada-U.S. border.

Mayorkas also reportedly offered the help of his department to end the impasse.

The White House did not elaborate on the offer of help. Mayorkas's department handles multiple agencies, including U.S. Customs and Border Protection.

Those officers are posted at border checkpoints, including the Ambassador Bridge--the busiest crossing between the two countries and a vital trade link...

Look how quick these traitors are wiling to stick their noses in on 'Americans and Canadians' peacefully protesting, as is their right, at Canada's Border......but none of these people are batting on eye while our southern border is 'invaded by violent illegals' from every country, pushing drugs and trafficking children and women.

How ugly and nasty have our leaders become...imbeciles doesn't say enough....traitors to US citizens and this country!

I’m surprised that Trudeau hasn’t invoked Article 5 of the NATO treaty and requested member troops be deployed to Canada.

I’m sure they can dream up some justification to do that, likely with the approval of all member countries.

Leaders are afraid this will be a western form of the Arab Spring and will sweep all of them from power.

Biden is just the a-hole to do such a thing.

Anyone remember the story of Brier Rabbit and the Tar Baby?

I think the Biden Administration helping out Canada with its truck protests will just get Brier Biden more and more stuck.

Somebody needs to park a Semi loaded with dynamite crossways on the bridge. Then if bitme or toadboy try anything, blow it.

If you “massacre” the experienced truckers, damage their rigs or otherwise incarcerate them, preventing them from doing their jobs, does that not make the crisis “permanent”?

Now given that the fraud pedojoe bidet regimes cumulative intelligence is barely enough to scrape by the concept of “It’s got electrolytes”, but at least a few of their tranny chimps see what the implications are which is why they are scared.

Pressure will be the in the form of financial threat, IRS tyranny, terrorist charges that they can hold over their heads to threaten prison, seizure of private property that does not prohibit them performing their job.

If they do send troops and somehow “martyr” any of these people it will blow back in their faces so hard they may lose every single election coming this November.

They may be that stupid but their handlers are not.

Never fear. I hear from reliable sources that the FBI is just about to graduate a hundred new truckers from Puddin’s Truck Driving School. Just in time for a little infiltration. It worked in DC, didn’t it?

Put the US forces in Blue Helmets and it becomes an international peace keeping force.

Klaus Schwab told Prime Mistake True-dolt, that he wants PRC (Politically Repressive Canada) NOW! Prine Mistake ‘Little Potato’ (as the ChiComs call him) knows that Schwab’s WEF means business.

They killed, and are continuing to kill, millions with the injections. True-dolt knows that it he fails, he’ll be gone, not JUST out of politics, but gone, like taking a stroll in Ft. Marcy Park with Cankles Clinton.

What is Biden going to do? Invade Canada? Unlikely. Assist Canada in seizing private funds raised to support the Trucker Convoy? Probably. But that won’t open the Ambassador Bridge this week, and probably not next week. Looks like the Canadian Truckers have found a vital pressure point here. And Baby Trudeau had better worry about the price that Biden will charge for ‘helping’.

In response to your last question, to totalitarian leftists (ah, but I repeat myself), like those that run d’Ottawa and the District of Corruption, freedom IS a threat to ‘their’ democracy! Of course ‘their’ democracy means you agree with, and bow to them, or else!

No matter how this turns out (and I think it will end badly), God is in charge! Both True-dolt and XiJinBiden seem to think that THEY are god! It DEFINITELY won’t end well for them! That God is in charge, and how it will end for them, THAT is my solace!

Maranatha!

What does the Biden administration know about securing borders?

Re local level:

Good point; THEY say “All politics is local”. We didn’t pay attention.

Now, they’ve infiltrated school boards at the local level all across the country, with George Soros bought and owned stooges. They have District Attorneys-bought and owned by same-in every city.

They also have state level Secretaries of State to Certify only the vote result THEY want,

They GET it.

CBC is a hard left regime propaganda outfit ... the other day they declared the trucker convoy as being instigated by “russians” ... so CBC has about the same credibility as CNN and MSNBC combined ... NOTHING they say is credible ... this is a bullshit post by a poster who routinely deals in clickbait to flog their blog ...
