‘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."

What seems to be your issue?
Are you a cop?
Why are you siding with them?

Crackdown?

in reality, what can the police actually do?

Nothing of real substance.

Action that is ineffective is harmful to authority that has seemingly evaporated

I don’t think anyone will provoke a bloody confrontation that could align the other 70% of Canadian truckers with this 30%.

That would finish the economy.

I read it as a misunderstanding. Think canuck thought you meant backfire against the truckers.

I think this guy is saying he hopes if the police are moving in on the truckers it will backfire on them [the police]. Doesn’t seem trollish to me... seems to fit right in with many posters’ sentiments.

That would be the next logical step.
I would rather see the US truckers do that with Washington rather than go there and make themselves sitting ducks for some
false flag operation.

The truckers are falling right into the trap.

Perhaps I'm too dense to see the trap. Unless Trudeau's policies go away nothing get delivered.

If he jails the truckers, nothing gets delivered.

If he fines the truckers and confiscates their rigs nothing gets delivered.

If he does nothing, nothing gets delivered.

No country is more than a few days of no food away from a revolution.

Grocery stores typically have only three days' inventory on hand...

OK sorry

FOX reporting that their arresting people now. In Paris, Macron is turning tear gas on people.

So, peaceful protest is being proved to no longer be an option.

If anyone still has doubts about what the “world leaders” are all about, they shouldn’t have doubts now.

Sad to see cops do the dirty work for tyrants and murderers.

At this point, the truckers really have no choice. They must remain where they are. If they move, the protest would have been for nothing.

The police haven’t moved on the truckers, yet. But tyrants like Trudeau just can’t stand losing face. So I bet the police will take action, when they’re good and ready.

I’m surprised facistbook hasn’t shut down that group. Makes me wonder why Zuckerbots are allowing it to stay open.
