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...

Cuz Brandon is such an accomplished border expert. He's in the middle of starting WWIII on one border in Ukraine ,and another with unlimited votes for a leaf blower on the other on the US Southern border.

Brandon steps on his dick every day and the media reports he hasn't got feet.

If Biteme intervenes on the northern border while the southern one is wide open, the hypocrisy will be evident even to the hard leftists. He doesn’t dare.

This would be quite the accomplishment since the American MSM doesn’t even acknowledge that there is a blockade…….the sheep won’t know what is happening.

Makes perfect sense Biden wants to help Canada......since Biden despises America.

His Atlanta speech revealed Biden’s intense dislike for Americans.......
and his displeasure at having created a “perfect government” for such horrible people.

Biden became unhinged in Georgia especially b/c Stacey Abrams was not there to hold his hand .

Biden made one startling declaration after another.

He reviled Americans who disagrees with him about how he has “perfectly” ensured the integrity of the American electoral process.

To somebody as “perfect” as Biden, we are nothing but modern-day Confederates,
racist traitors, closeted supporters of slave-holding president Jefferson Davis.

Like MANY government employees, they are there because the “love their good gubment job”. Their loyalty is not to the country, not to the Constitution, not to the people, —but to the government. The only care about their paycheck and their secure retirement.

Trudeau’s government in in danger of falling from a non confidence vote in Parliament. He has locked himself into a solar powered greenhouse bunker and is ex-cummunicado.He refuses to meet with the Freedom Convoy Organizers and their lawyers.

No politician will ever govern again in Canada if they govern under the supposition that the Charter of Rights and Freedoms of Canada are “optional” and only apply when “convenient.”

Trudeau is royally “F**ked.”

The only question remaining is how much blood must be spilled to water the Tree of Canadian Liberty?

And this is sad beyond comprehension. I am in tears.The price of freedom can be very dear, and it now appears as if a lot of Canadians will pay and in the end we will be victorious at tremendous cost.

There would have to ba a swith of 36 votes over to the Conservative side from the NDP and liberals.

Ontario is run by a Conservative Premier who is trying to defund the movement. He is a traitor but has been forced to act by the inactivity of the Trudeau government to end the blockage at the Anbassador Bridge , costing some 300 million bucks per day to the auto industry and to the food supply business.

Trudeau ois simply letting thinhs get so bad that the military will be called to intervene when he has wha he nmeeds to invoke “ The Emergency Act” ( formerly the War Measures Act. Canada has no posse commitatus law, and so the militray can be used to remove the Convoy. But Cnada has only 70,000 full time military in its standingmilitary, of which pn;y about 14,000 are combat troops, so there are just not enough. Trudeau may invite help from the US Military forces, Cheater Joe has offered them, and for the forst time in a loong time, Canada can have US troops on Canada’s soil om a de facto invasion.

This fight for freedom looks like it can accelerate beyond civil control.

Canada us about to water its Tree of Liberty.

About 36 votes switching for the NDP and Liberals to the COnservatives.

My understanding is that the Canadian truckers are blocking the Canadian side of the bridge. What exactly can the US federal government do about Canadians protesting in Canada?
