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.

“Here’s a better one: TRUMP calls for Quebec secession!”

Little Fidel would love that because he could then act in similar fashion to what his step-daddy did back in 1970 when he invoked the War Measures Act and used the military to put down insurrection by Quebec separatists.

"it looks like he has a bowel emergency going on in that picture"

Ford does have the look of a longtime suffer of constipation. His colon must be some kind of overloaded, toxic superfund site.

$100K fine..hahahahahahaha.
If you set a fine so high, then it becomes meaningless and ineffective. Clearly the "Michelin Man" is throwing a tantrum.
I don't follow Canadian politics but this may spell the end of the entrenched Betters...or maybe not.

Free speech is such an emergency. Well, maybe in a fascist regime.

“The only thing he needs to declare immediately is a diet. Fat CAT tyrant worried about his next Twinkie”

What if the Twinkies are imported from the US? If so, no wonder he’s upset.

There used to be a time when laborers were the lifeblood of the liberals and leftists in general, and whatever the workers needed or wanted, was backed fully by labor unions and liberal governments.

Which means that, this is all about the absolute power that liberals want to exert over the people, no matter who they are or what they represent.

Tyranny is just another name for liberals/progressives/socialists/communists.

If you want to see tyranny, listen to what this moron is saying.

You WILL go home.
We WILL take your business.
We WILL put you in jail.
You WILL leave.

By force if necessary.

I hope the truckers realize their actions will not peacefully force their leaders to change direction on the mandates.

here is the link to Doug Ford’s full speech this morning—

https://toronto.ctvnews.ca/ontario-declares-a-state-of-emergency-to-end-siege-in-ottawa-and-windsor-1.5777336

Ford only talked about ‘plans’ to end the mandates.

Ford instead talked about the ‘reality’ of how his Brown Shirts were going after the truckers.

Ontario Premier Doug Ford was snowmobiling on Feb 5, as the City of Ottawa was under siege and dealing with an insurrection.


Ah, it’s now an ‘insurrection’! They keep using that word.
