Ottawa – On the ground in Ottawa the trucker protest in the shadow of the nation’s Parliament building looks like no other protest witnessed in recent memory.
The large powerful machines of commerce and the highways of North America are lined up along with Canadians and their Maple Leaf flags demanding the right to work under their own conditions. If it doesn’t look much like a protest, that’s because in many ways it isn’t, it's more like a strike.
Protest almost always implies a threat. The threat of Occupy Wall Street or Seattle’s CHOP zone was that people will ignore the laws and rules of society. The threat of the BLM riots in the summer of 2020 was that if demands were not met buildings would burn. The threat in Ottawa is of a different order, these people are threatening not to work.
Nobody much cares if an anarchist protester decides not to go to their job as a furry friendly sex worker, or barista at the communist coffee collective, or Ivy League teaching assistant. But if men and women stop driving their trucks then everything, every product, every service, every object we reach for will be affected. The truckers even fit the physical image of a classic strike, all they need, to this New Yorker’s eyes, is a giant inflatable rat.
Meanwhile, the Canadian government and their lackeys in the American media have begun to play their role as strikebreakers. Last week the truckers were all supposedly white supremacists or enablers of white supremacy. Like the rhetorical version of a piece of undercooked pasta tossed at the wall, that didn’t stick at all. So now they have moved to the classic anti strike language of "outside agitators."

Government power must end where my skin begins.
If Mr. Politician wants to put something into Mr. Trucker., Mr. Trucker may want to put something into Mr. Politician.
“Canada truckers want freedom, not a global world where elites control their lives”
The pinkos in the so-called “news” media have managed to make that the very definition of “right wing”.
Liberal apparently has a different meaning north of the 49th Parallel.
what this is really doing is showing people who and what is important to the day to day functioning of society.
It sure as hell isn’t government and it supporters.
it is people that do work. Work that produces tangible
outcomes. Way too many people don’t do anything that really does anything useful. eg. movies, goverment, Mass media, et al.
That is what democrats are afraid of, we will discover that they are redundant and not needed. They may have to switch to more useful occupations.
I would just love to see those leftist elites stripped of their wealth and power and forced into poverty, but that’s a mere pipe dream.
Stop using the word “Elites”. There is nothing elite about these totalitarian creeps.
“The threat in Ottawa is of a different order, these people are threatening not to work.”
There’s no threat in Ottawa.
They’re not threatening anything they’re redressing their government.
They want to enslave the entire world, and are trying to lord their power over the people, by forcing them to take injections, and partially suffocate their children with masks.
FYI-slaves were forced to cover up their faces, and wear masks, as punishment, and to remind them that they had no voice in society.
Don’t the elites, especially those on the left want to control our lives?
They’re not threatening anything they’re redressing their government.
***Just like the vast majority of January 6 protesters.
That’s right.
Trudeau is a criminal. He needs to be stopped.
Governments torturing it’s citizens with a fake pandemic
