Canada’s Conservative Establishment Turns on Truckers: ‘Take Down the Barricades’
Breitbart ^ | 02/11/2022 | Francis martel

Posted on 02/11/2022 9:42:08 AM PST by ChicagoConservative27

Conservative Party interim leader Candice Bergen demanded an end to trucker-led “Freedom Convoy” protests blockading international borders on Thursday, urging anti-mandate demonstrations to end.

Her statement in the House of Commons appeared to be a dramatic shift from her initial support for the protests, which have lasted nearly two weeks in the national capital, Ottawa, but have begun to dispute Canada-U.S. supply chains through blockades along Canada’s southern border. Ambassador Bridge, the largest American-Canadian crossing, has come to an ongoing standstill this week as hundreds of trucks park themselves on and around it, inhibiting international traffic.

Oh, but “Bergen promised that, if the protests concluded, the Conservative Party “will not stop until the mandates have ended.”! See, if you stop doing what got you attention, then we’ll give you the attention you couldn’t get without doing what we want you to stop doing? See?...

Amazing...

No! The blockade stands. You will give in, not us. Never give up, people. They are seeing the writing on the wall. Keep it up! If they win this it’s all over.

The very purpose for managed opposition, nothing more than a way to allow the powers a method of deceiving and controlling the unwashed masses, letting them believe someone supports them.

I fear for the Truckers, if they have the fortitude to continue it is likely lot of people will die, unfortunately this is where we are now in the world, nothing else will bring about the changes needed to free the average person.

CINO’s. Conservatives in name only. They don’t represent the working man. Only the ruling class.

What would the conservative party be called in Canada - CINO’s?

Or maybe “TINOs” for “Tories in name only”.

In other words, today’s GOP.

That’s what I thought of too.

This is the Tories’ “interim leader”, who only has a passing resemblance to Edgar’s daughter.

Since they’re a dominion and not a republic, that term wouldn’t fit.

Sounds like the Chamber of Commerce Republicans here. Sure, you can talk about “freedom” but never let that talk interfere with us making money.

If they did it to veterans in 1932 they can do it to truckers in 2022.

Up until now I haven’t really believed the WEF stories, but what’s going on in Canada really makes me wonder.

Yep. A lot like the Tories in the UK. They are just to the right of Vladimir Lenin.

RINOs in Canada are the same as in the US. Put a little pressure on them and they cave.

Exactly, money or blackmail. Also this may be unpopular but a woman in general will collapse much quicker under threat, especially to their family, than a man will.

Real men will risk it even if it is a false belief in their ability to protect their family, just how man and women differ.

She’s just a face now.

Proved she has no resolve.

TrooDope’s goon squad probably intimidating her family, and corporations jostling her over contributions.

That’s exactly the case. Major business groups on both sides of the border have publicly called for the re-opening of these border crossings. That’s the only reason why the “Conservative” nitwits north of the border have changed their tune.
