COUTTS, Alta.— Mounties in Alberta say they swept in to make arrests and seize weapons and ammunition as an already tense blockade near the Coutts border crossing was about to escalate dangerously.
The RCMP said they had arrested more than a dozen people by Monday evening in and around Coutts who were associated with the protest, had access to a large collection of guns and were willing “to use force against the police if any attempts were made to disrupt the blockade.”
“We knew what was about to happen or inevitably to happen, and we acted as soon as we could,” Supt. Roberta McKale told media.
A number of investigations, including “conspiracy to attempt to commit murder” and those related to possession of weapons are taking place, she said.
The RCMP action appeared to have deflated the two-week blockade at the border crossing. By Monday night, most of the protesters had cleared out — leaving only a few dozen vehicles in the area.
Eight of the arrests took place at two residences in Coutts. Other arrests were at a vehicle in Coutts, at the blockade and on the highway.

And we’re off ! The first setup...
“people associated with the blockade”
Let me guess? The RCMP raided a farm near the blockade where farm machinery had just been sabotaged by the RCMP special unit a couple nights prior? What do I win?
This RCMP Superintendent Roberta McKenna seems a particular sleezy type of ‘cop’.
Or they could be totally legal, but tied to an RCMP allegation of a “conspiracy” to defend themselves against cops executing illegal orders. Stealing fuel used for heat in the Canadian winter is murderous.
Nasty looking? I was wondering if it was a butane lighter. LOL!
Pure propaganda.
They were either planted by the RCMP or their antifa goons.
I’m laughing at the machete...don’t know why but it cracks me up that they RCMP threw that into their photo mix....ooooo real scary!...you can buy one from Lowes just like that for brush chopping, complete with the blade cover.
Nice picture. Looks as though the Biden Administration delivered on their promise to False Flag the protesters. And note that the article says they were going to be used if police tried to clear the protesters - so how many shots were fired?
Now print a picture of the weaponry the RCMP have …
The comments on that article by the Canadian Karens tells you everything you need to know about the state of that socialist country./
Yeah. After I posted, I went back and looked at it again and realized it was a stupid question.
Let’s all call our senators and ask them to introduce a law banning travel to communist Canada!
Prime Minister Twinkletoes needed a real emergency so..........he made one!
Good point. It does not say IN the blockade.
I bet you are 100% right on this.
You get the steak dinner.
Canadian Gestapo in action. These people are know un-persons and will be forced to realize that that actually love their Federal Government.
You don’t even need to plant them. All the RCMP has to do is pull a bunch of weapons out of their evidence locker, array them onto a table and call a press conference. Saves a lot of time and their officers don’t have to go out into the cold and leave their coffee and Tim Hortons, God forbid.

Corrupt cops covering for a corrupt government...
We’re these FBI agitators sent in for a false flag operation? Asking for a khaki-wearing friend.
Crap, You could find a lot of that stuff in my basement (If I had one)
= = =
I don’t have a basement, so I use my swimming pool.
Is that an illegal AA battery 36 pack? OMG
