I’ve often wondered why some politician down the line has never suggested UNITING our entire Continent; USA, Canada & Mexico.

Man, Oh, MAN! What a powerhouse that could be!

Of course, a SOCIALIST would have come up with that LONG before a Conservative would have, and ground us ALL to dust, so I guess I’ll shut up now before I give anyone a new idea. ;)

However, let the record state: I am all for cheaper, quality Avocados and Maple Syrup! ;)

I could be wrong, but I think that is because this has not escalated to a nationwide strike and the protestors are a minority of the truckers. They have effectively instituted local trucking strikes where they have been able to block trucking, but the majority of truckers are still driving and delivering. I believe that they are mostly in solidarity with the protestors, but the blockages are being used, now, to locally halt trucking without putting their jobs at risk.

The truckers in Ottowa are laying down the sacrifice. They are in Trudeau’s face. I think they have to stay until they either succeed, or demonstrate that a nationwide strike is justified and needed.

“So. as I see it, Elizibeth II herself would have to instruct the GG (Mary Simon) to sack the PM, and dissolve Parlaiment, then call new elections. “

Yes.

And that’s not going to happen.

It’s weird, the UK is really a lawless state.

Between Countries? How about between Provinces or states?

The US and Canada most likely have same infection rate, vaccination rate etc.

How does a vax passport between the 2 countries reduce a viral infection rate more so than a vax passport to travel across state boundaries?

“Make America/Canada Great Again” has taken on a whole new meaning…

“Our anti virus laws are better than yours…nana nana poopie”

“There was a motion to end mandates today in Parliament it went down 185-151.”

Thanks for the info.

They have to keep at it.

That’s a number that shows it’s doable.

“These are exceptionally brave Patriots, and I pray they will be joined by thousands of others.”

Yes they are. I pray they will be joined by other brave souls as well. It’s not easy to make that overwhelming a sacrifice, but they are.

Their rules make no sense.

The people are finally saying the emperor has no clothes.

They have. It's called the GREAT RESET or better known as the One World Government.

Leftists and Globalists don’t even realize they promote what they advocate being against.

International free trade…let’s implement independent across border health restrictions

Segregation is racist…we need to treat racial minorities separately. Maybe we start up black only colleges/schools

I wish I had half their courage and determination. I sit comfortably on the side line cheering for them. But unlike them, I have put nothing at risk. Kind of embarrassing.

"For that to happen you need the employee truck drivers to be willing to lose their jobs."

Trucks break down. Can they fine a trucker for getting a flat or running out of gas?

There will be many paid sick days in the near future.

I live in Alberta…and there might even be an oilfield trucker strike.

Alberta has the ability to shut down most of the Country and much of the US.

Unlike Biden who shut down much of the US’ oil production and helped finance Russia’s military buildup on Ukraine’s border

“It’s my understanding that the government of Canada has not reached out once to the truckers since they have arrived in this capital city.

The ruling class hates the working class and it especially hates it when it won’t do as they command.

That vote was only on the federal mandates.

The vote on the Emergencies Act will be much different, IMO

Could be wrong, but I believe many will vote for the mandates but won’t be willing to vote for martial law to enforce them.

I hope there isn’t a Tiananmen Square in Ottowa.

From the editorial Trudeau’s Act of War at Canada's Western Standard:

The state has abdicated its legitimacy in any violent approach to ending this. When Occupy Wall Street protestors camped on public property for months on end, they were allowed to do so. When IdleNoMore and anti-pipeline protestors blockaded rail lines and bridges, the police did nothing. But when truckers and farmers do so — demanding only a return of their fundamental freedoms — they are vilified by the government-funded media as “racists”, “terrorists”, and agents of Russia.

Any claim by the government-funded media and the state that these protestors have no right to be there is abrogated by their previous acceptance and even support for other causes doing just the same thing.

Instead of dealing with the truckers as peacefully and understandingly as leftist protests that camped in public spaces, Trudeau has decided to declare martial law.
