‘Freedom Convoy’ protesters stay on bridge all night; police crackdown never happens
Fox News ^ | 2/12/22 | Emily Zanotti

Truckers protesting vaccine mandates in Canada remained defiant overnight Friday in the face of a court order and an emergency declaration telling them to leave the Ambassador Bride connecting Ontario to Michigan.

Around 100 protesters remained early Saturday after law enforcement failed to take action, according to CBC News.

"Do you think I care? Do you think I care about a fine?" one protester said. "I'm going to pay a fine? No. You think I care about their mandates? No. This needs to end."

According to the article the police are making their move as we speak.
I predict this will backfire on them, hopefully in a most spectacular way.

I also think a lot of the police are “just saying no.”

It could all be stopped with dialogue and not physical threats. This is what pushes humans up to the top of the food chain, our ability to reason. And Trudeau refuses to talk trying to use strong arm tactics. I believe the next step down is the apes. They can device weapons, also.

Authorities would really look band if they resorted to violence. The Truckers should behave like Gandi.

My prediction is that if the truckers get arrested or towed or fined, no truck will move in Canada nor to or from Canada.

There will be a total shutdown.

Hoping they hold the line but this is how it gets violent. Trudeau will not want to appear weak. The facade of freedom falls once this gets violent.

I think the.government of Canada may have just lost control of the situation. When they made a threat, and did not follow through nobody will believe their future threats.It is an admission of powerlessness.

Time to resign and call new elections.

The powers that be really are dumb enough to believe they will have everything under control once they get those trucks off the bridge. Oh boy.....
