Canada trucker protest - live: Convoy organiser arrested as police take action on defiant Ottawa occupation

Protesters are digging in as Ottawa police begin to roll out a plan to end the trucker protest occupation that has clogged the centre of the Canadian capital for almost three weeks. Interim police chief Steve Bell says if they want to leave peacefully, now is the time and they will be given a secure route out of the city.

“If they do not peacefully leave, we have plans, strategies and tactics to get them to leave,” he told reporters, saying that action is “imminent”. Protest organiser Chris Barber was spotted being taken into police custody.

A secure zone with 100 check points is in the process of being set up and only residents, businesses, and people with legitimate reasons to be there will be allowed in. The plan is to stop a weekend influx of demonstrators coming for a fourth time.

Under the Emergencies Act invoked by Prime Minister Justin Trudeau, law enforcement officials have the ability to arrest people for obstruction of roadways and disruptive behaviour within a no-go exclusion zone. Authorities also have the power to seize vehicles and freeze bank accounts.

On Wednesday, leaflets were handed out to the occupants of vehicles parked in the area around parliament warning them to go or face criminal charges. A ban on the use of airhorns has been extended for 60 days. On Thursday morning there were no signs of the convoy moving on and further warnings were issued.

A row has also erupted over the naming of donors to the Canadian trucker protest, with both Fox News host Tucker Carlson and US Democratic representative Ilhan Omar accusing the media of inciting violence by making public the names of people who donated to the protesters.

The Hill Cam which transmits a live video image of Parliament Hill from across the street is now “temporarily unavailable”.

How convenient!

The Hill Cam is apparently a site belonging to the “Government of Canada”.

Evil, you cannot hide.

When the prime minister originates from Fidel Castro’s scrotum, anything’s possible.

Stark contrast to how Antifa and BLM were treated.

The truckers in Canada and the J6 protesters in the U.S. were highly productive citizens with little to no criminal history. The Canadian government and the U.S. government has thrown the book at these people.

Seems to me that it is pretty much time to take them home and all drivers/owners take a few weeks off.

Zero deliveries, nationwide.

No gas, no food, no nothing.

Now is the time to take up arms against your government, before this tyranny sets in for good.

Oh, wait . . .

Did Canada have any of the ‘BLM’ and other radical action that we saw destroying neighborhoods and small businesses in our ‘Summer of Love’?

And if so, did this effete Trudeau person bother to sit down and actually speak with THOSE people?

The truckers in Ottawa haven’t seemed to me to really disrupt anything. (They probably would have majorly pumped-up the Ottawa economy - if the restaurants and stores had been open without all these artificial restrictions.)

Land routes as well. I-91 becomes Quebec Autoroute 55, and I-87 become Autoroute 15, for example.

Excellent point! If you go against this kind of government, ours included, you have to win. The FBI is just going to kick in your door, later, and your accounts will be frozen, if you don’t. These Maoists don’t screw around,

The Canadian Civil Liberties Association announced they are suing the government

I would bet money that in the same situation the ACLU would 100% support the government rolling over every constitutional right in the book.

Maybe if they had another Back The Blue parade or something like that.
Maybe that'd work
