Ontario Premier Doug Ford has declared a state of emergency in an effort to put an end to the “siege” in Ottawa and Windsor as the truck convoy protests continue to disrupt traffic and prevent the transport of goods across the Canadian border.

Ford made the announcement Friday at Queen’s Park, saying he will convene cabinet and “use legal authorities to urgently enact orders” that will protect international border crossings, as well as the 400-series highways, airports, bridges, ports and railways in the province.

Fines for non-compliances will be severe, the premier said, with a maximum penalty of $100,000 and up to a year imprisonment.

Hmmmm???? Didn’t I just read earlier that there was a secret recording of Doug Ford saying that he was going to back off the mandates on Friday?????

It seems that Doug Ford, aka the Liz Cheney of Ontario, is doing the exact opposite.

Here’s an idea. The western provinces secede and become a part of the US. Watch the folks from Ontario and Quebec move.

Wasn’t it yesterday that people were applauding this tyrant and how he was going to lift the mandates in the province?

How easy folks are fooled. Just like thinking that Manchin is a closet Conservative.

So...prison and $100k for protesting if the government doesn’t like you. Pathetic.

Douggie doesn’t seem to be much of an improvement and he’s just as stupid looking.

The US is supposed to be 80,000 drivers short of what is needed.

The US companies should hire every Canadian trucker and pay their moving costs, with one iron clad condition. They take no loads to Canada....all loads to be within the US.

Canada has the same problem the US does.

Deep State.

The letter after the name means jack anymore.

A pol is either Deep State or not.

Does Canada have any pols that aren’t?

Here’s a better one: TRUMP calls for Quebec secession! The issue is always there beneath the surface. It’s timing my friends.

Hell, just offer all the truckers and tradesmen/women a Green Card and fast track to US citizenship. A few problems solved right there.

When all the truckers, plumbers and electricians are living in Montana, Idaho, the Dakotas, who’s going to deliver the food and fix the house?

How about just declaring that the so-called pandemic is over and life and commerce can go back to normal. Wearing a mask or avoiding human contact are voluntary for those still wishing to hide under their beds. Hmmmm? Then everybody can make their deliveries and go home.

This will end with really bad optics. The photoshop guys are probably working overtime cutting and pasting swastikas onto everything.

That would be the sensible, easy thing to do. However, it would also diminish the power of power-mad statists.

Trump solidarity, just outright refuse to drive! All truckers across the board. Park your trucks and do not agree to drive. Period.

This guy Doug Ford must be a real dirtbag, wikipedia really does a number on him.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Doug_Ford

Scroll down to “Municipal politics” and start scanning through it.

WOW!
