Ontario Premier Doug Ford declares state of emergency in effort to end truck convoy blockade
CTV News Toronto ^ | Feb. 11th, 2022 | Katherine DeClerq

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.

This is coming to a head! I am sure the truckers knew this might happen. I pray the truckers win!

NEWS JUNKIES — CHECK OUT OUR HOMEPAGE

Rebel News got the video

“We’re pulling these passports,” Ford says in the video leaked to Rebel News. “We’re going to get back to normal. I can’t get you the exact date, but it’s going to be very soon. I’ll be speaking over the next few days. Friday I’m going to put out a statement. Monday I’ll be giving some dates. And we’re going to move forward.”

Also bet the Biden Regime is pushing this emergency also. They are hoping this will curtail the Trucker Convey in the USA.

OK. Tyrants severely penalize people peacefully protesting ... so park the damn trucks and let the tyrants handle all warehousing, shipping and delivery of goods and services.

Anyone -- anyone who still doesn't understand that the tyrants (not just in Canada but here, too) have no intention of giving up their power ... and that a peaceful people cannot "comply their way out of tyranny".

Sadly, but necessarily for the cause of Liberty, physical force will most likely be necessary to defeat, remove and punish the tyrants who, at their core, are truly nothing more than power obsessed politicians and unelected bureaucrats. A complete housecleaning is most definitely in order as the alternative is to live under totalitarianism.

Whatever it takes ...

Truckers take a slow roll home and park the trucks for the duration. Thereby not letting them win.

They can’t arrest everyone. If the government uses force against peaceful protesters there will be a backlash the world has not recently seen. These Commies need to be sent packing.

Maybe someone needs to tell him without the truckers he won’t be getting Twinkies or anything else.

$100k fines all around?

That sounds like Dr Evil numbers Just make it $1 Billion apiece. That will make the truckers leave.

These guys need to read some history.

Oh? Don’t like things getting forced on you?

Neither do they. Get rid of the mandates.

His late brother the former mayor of Toronto. Sadly at the time the dirt digging press found out they were both druggies in their youth.

If only these idiot politicians would follow the science and lift the mandates. Their “let them eat cake” attitude is going to crash the economy and instigate a violent rebellion.
