If the government tries to muscle the truckers, they might end up getting support from their fellow truckers around the country.

Just speculating.

Not to worry about the cold temps. They’ll
just set fire to some dumpsters and maybe a
building or two.

Most likely they will be paid protesters. As I watched the convoy pass through their towns, people were standing on overpasses and roadways waving flags and welcoming the truckers.

What exactly are they counter protesting? Mandates forever and no freedom? Government tells you what to do.

We want oppression!

I’d also suggest remaining in the trucks. Film the vandalism from the cab

Insurance will cover any damage.

This troublemaking _itch calls their counter protest anti hate and refers to the truckers as “terrorist occupiers”.

Hey lady, if those truckers were terrorists you would hide out in your house. You would not be out in the streets with them.

I’m reflecting on the organizer’s comment regarding:

“the terrorists occupying our city center”

The other day the military option run up and down the flagpole by the police.

In the context of Canadian history the War Powers Act was used in 1970 against a terrorist group the FLQ with the army deployed to Ottawa, Montreal and Quebec City.

The FLQ Marxist-Leninist bombers, kidnappers, killers.

I don’t think a lot of people see this protest as “terrorism” but can public perception be changed so Justin Trudeau can do what daddy did and put the military into the picture to deal with terrorists?

Can we get a January 6th incident?

Pierre Trudeau stood up there in October 1970 a few hundred feet from the protest plaform in front of Parliament (I stood there at the entrance in 2015) and said:

“just watch me”

right before he rolled out the War Powers Act on the FLQ Trudeau had hundreds thrown in jail in connection with that without bail including some old left-wing friends...

So all the people who want less freedom, more mandates and more confinement and shopping escorts are going to demonstrate in the cold?

OK, tell me how that turns out.

Time to switch up tactics.

It would be funny as hell if the counter protesters show up this weekend and there are no trucks in the city core.

They will still loot and burn while the trucks are outside of walking distance. (Counter protesters usually ride the bus or show up in a Liberal funding bus)

LOL

“We would like not to have that other dynamic we have to manage within the crowd,” Deputy Chief Steve Bell said.”

Canadian truckers would like you to not call them racists.

But you ***holes started this, so…..

Time for things to get interesting, which is just another way of saying wake up, folks. There ia an active civil war going on around you.

I am going shopping again today, to stock up even more.

Meanwhile...

Ottawa Police Chief releases a statement declaring they're targeting the convoy for freedom and supporters for prosecution, they're collecting registration numbers, phone records and checking financial services of truckers and anyone donating to their GoFundMe, wtf kind of communist crap is this?
