The blockades by Canadian truckers that had completely shut down the U.S.-Canada border crossing at Detroit have been cleared by reopening the Ambassador Bridge, and as of Friday, Ottawa police have begun moving against truckers occupying central Ottawa.
Despite these actions on the part of the Canadian government, the truckers comprising the “Freedom Convoy” hold their ground in defiance of threats of a police crackdown as they continue to disrupt other trade routes and cities, occupying the country’s capital for a third week.
The members of the Freedom Convoy appear unyielding despite days of warnings from police and the government -- risking arrest and having their rigs seized and bank accounts frozen.
Unfortunately for the truckers, the government crackdown began early in the week of February 13th, when the Canadian Prime Minister invoked Canada’s Emergencies Act, enabling law enforcement agencies to declare the blockades illegal, tow away their trucks, arrest the drivers and suspend their licenses.
In an apparent move by the government to avert a clash, on Thursday, February 17th, Trudeau and some of his top ministers warned the protesters to leave.
Despite the warning, hundreds of truckers continued blocking the streets of Ottawa -- Canada’s capital -- and stood their ground, defiantly blasting their horns. On Thursday, February 17th, the same day the government warned the protesters to leave, police streamed in, threatening to break up the nearly three-week protest against Canada’s COVID-19 vaccine mandates.
Deputy Prime Minister Chrystia Freeland said the government began locking truckers out of their bank accounts as threatened. She stated, “It is happening. I do have the numbers in front of me.”

Over a shot or rather, over the ‘choice’ of getting or not getting a shot. Can you believe that? What a nightmare this has become.

I just got up so I’m catching up but it appears to be false. Otherwise the story would be all over the place imo and it’s not anywhere that I can find.
Don’t bother denying the allegations.
If you don’t want the government controlling every aspect of your life, you are a right-wing extremist.
“If it is disinformation released by the truckers (highly doubtful) the movement is done.”
AH... NO! The movement DOES NOT hinge over whether some of the protesters thought the women WHO WAS TRAMPLED is dead or not.
She (a full-blooded Mohawk, btw) was knocked over and her walker was flattened, but she survived with injuries to her shoulder. I don’t know about the other person trampled, a tall younger person who was knocked down and who you can see directly see under the back hooves of the horse. It looked to me like he was being kicked or stomped in the head, and elsewhere I read that he had a broken back.
I don’t know if that’s true…the government forbade journalists, so that’s why reporting is a little piecemeal, since it comes mostly from cellphone photos on Twitter feeds.
no matter what all this is seen by THE PEOPLE as tyranny and will be delt with

Interesting that only one side had the power to use horses.
When truckers attempted to use the steeds this past week, pulling wagons to deliver fuel, they were barred from entering the stage for fear of people getting injured. Yet those in POWER think nothing of numerous horses stampeding through the crowd filled area. One killed in US on 1/6, one
killed in Canada. Smashing the vehicle windows, ripping children from their parents. Killing pets found. Those in POWER have overstepped their authority. OUTRAGEOUS!
Jack-booted thugs, aka “I’m only following orders” leos, are the great tyrant enablers. They must be brought to justice along with their cowardly bosses.
There is video documenting the trampling. The crippled women will survive, but last reports were the elderly man was in bad shape.
But shutting down the economy and locking people in heir homes for the flu was totally fine. And trying to force people to take a “vaccine” which isn’t a vaccine, and which does not confer immunity from, or prevention of the transmission of, the “disease”? Also, totally fine in the sick, delusional minds of tyrants like Trudeau and the rest of the liberal left.
These are sick and dangerous times.
For of war most likely. Nobody is done.
Every time Justin appears in front of a camera and speaks he looks and sounds WEAK
We are all Canadian now.
