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...

“Because they know the American truckers are heading for DC.”

They want to break up the party before the reinforcements arrive.

The blockade can be ended in one minute by ending all Covid restrictions.

Canadian truckers more effective than the checks and balances within the elected US government. Biden must be terrified.

The next time America fights a war we need to send Canadian Truckers. The next time the FBI needs to do something, send Canadian Truckers.

All it takes to end this crisis is for the vaccine mandates to stop. Just stop requiring a vaccine for a disease with a 99% survival rate. That’s it. Just stop it, and normalcy will return tomorrow.

But that would take the government relinquishing its effort to destroy our freedoms as part of the Great Reset. That’s unacceptable. They’re all in on their lunatic dreams of transforming the world. It’s a form of madness which can’t really be treated. It has to play out.

"Hi Canada, we are from the US government and we're here to help."

Have they learned nothing from the US?

Washington's arrogant 'elites' and Canada's arrogant 'elites' want to break the backs of working people.

“The rest, variously estimated at 2,000 to 10,000, over the next few weeks engaged in protests and near-riots, producing an atmosphere of restlessness and threats of turbulence.”

What this sanitized excerpt fails to mention is that the Bonus Army was infiltrated by communist agitators. Those communists occupied buildings under construction in DC and shot DC cops who tried to evict the commies. After the shootings, the Army was called out to remove the communists.

Most of these retellings of the Bonus Army incident are taken from the pro-communist New York Times reports.

The White House knows border closures with Canada means more economic turmoil.

I’m sure that has them worried.


Yep. The problem is that they will pull out the stops and do anything they can to end it - except capitulate.

Frankly, this sort of thing is what got us the Pearl Harbor attack. And an important note about that is this: Sometimes when you win, you lose - but it still hurts a lot of people by the time it’s over.

This could help flush out the ‘Domestic Terrorists’ the DHS has been warning about.

You get the picture.
Going after the truckers (most of them independent owners of their rigs) simply takes patience.
DC with unlimited resources can just wait them out. The ‘Branding’ looks successful after listening to CSpan this morning. (White Supremacist, Terrorists, insurrectionists -the latter used the most, claiming they want to overthrow the government)
Maybe a year later, the trucker wakes up and finds his $150K rig missing. Civil Forfeiture.
I tend to believe the brainwashing of the American Public is nearly complete. They believe the Govt is their answer for everything.
