Truck convoy: People bringing 'material' supports to protesters — including gas — could be subject to arrest, police say; Some protesters relocating from Confederation Park
Ottawa Citizen ^ | February 06, 2022 | Bruce Deachman

Posted on 02/06/2022 11:43:50 AM PST by Kriggerel

Announcing that “enforcement is underway,” Ottawa police tweeted just before 2 p.m. Sunday that anyone who attempts to bring “material” supports, including gas, to demonstrators could be subject to arrest.

When asked earlier about the possibility of cutting off the supply of gas, diesel and propane to protestors, Ottawa Police Service said that they do not speak about operations, “for officer safety reasons.”

I think these drivers should disperse and refuse to drive or deliver goods until the mandate is lifted. As groceries and necessities get tight, all of the people will turn on the government.


both have a role. and both are being done.

They can’t let up. They know a trial and a swift judgement are next.

Canada’s ‘elites’ are bullies... just like the corrupt white liberal ‘elites’ running DC. Is TrueDope Castro’s illegitimate son? Justin Trudeau’s mommy had a crush...

Is TrueDope Castro’s illegitimate son?

Justin Trudeau’s mommy had a crush?

The Truckers could simply announce to the general public to stock up on anything that is left because in seven days they will leave Ottawa, drive to their homes and park the trucks.

Make no mention of how long it will be before any of them turns a key again.

Let the general public do the job on the politicians.

I've noticed that the Ottowa Citizen has turned out to be a leftist smear merchant.

“For the rest of us, it will be a glorious victory”

__________

Isn’t that the point, though?

Denying the possibility of any such glory?

These history (and herstory) books are not going to write themselves you know. Just ask the Tianenmen Square survivors. If you can find any. And they are willing to talk.

Peaceful protest does not mean you get to rob someone else of their rights, just like when Antifa/BLM did it.

Protests always inconvenience other people and may well "rob" or more accurately limit someone else's rights temporarily. Every parade temporarily limits someone's right to drive on a particular street.

But robbing the entire society of much more fundamental rights is what the Canadian government, and our government has been doing under the pretext of COVID-19 being an emergency that expands the power of the government dramatically.

There is simply no comparison in terms of the loss of rights between forced vaccination, the inability to enter restaurants without proof of vaccination, the inability to work without complying with dictates and executive orders not approved by legislatures, and simply being inconvenienced when drivine around downtown Ottawa.

January 20, 2017 … a real riot … Democrats are very, very forgiving.

January 6, 2020 … they won’t enforce trespassing in many Democrat run cities but they’ll throw people who call them out on election theft in the most miserable jail they can find over “trespassing”.

They are blocking certain streets but not main routes. People and em vehicles are able to move around without blockades.

Oh stop with the Nazi comparison!

I imagine what the truckers are doing is illegal under Canadian law. Breaking the law is a way to initiate a regime challenge, with a long and honorable history.

BUT - when you call out the enemy, and he steps onto the field, you have to either flee or have a plan to win.

Do the truckers have a plan to win? Do they even have a goal?

Because if they don’t, and they don’t leave Parliament Hill when ordered to by the police, they are going to get hurt - badly - and to what end?

These are independent truckers. The large trucking companies are not part of the protest. Many of their truckers are in the protest but not with their trucks.

If what the trucks were doing was illegal, they would be gone already.
Some people are sure the kind to give up fast.

“...Oh stop with the Nazi comparison!”

Certainly.
Someone should also say the same thing to Fearless Leader Trudeau, and nearly the entirety of the Mainstream Media...
