‘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."

The only alternative they have is to plant a whole bunch of actors to raise havoc and a mediapuke conveniently on the spot. Trudeau needs a purpose to remove them forcefully by military force. This is exactly what they did J 6. When you have the Brandon administration advising Trudeau you know they’re up to something. I hope the Canadians have their eyes peeled for actors so that they can quench or nipped in the butt immediately.

I think the truckers will go to DC soon, regardless of what happens in Canada....unless the crazies we have in DC wise up by what they see in Canada.

And I don’t have much hope for that.

Other threads here on FR indicate that the Biden government is running on crazy.

If heavy handed police action spectacularly backfires, Trudeau falls in a sufficiently dramatic fashion that other world leaders will have to take notice.

Are you hoping totalitarianism wins the day?

I would not go to jail over this. If truckers are forced to leave Ottawa and the bridge they should just park their trucks at home and stop working. Period. Libs are saying that the truckers are causing issues regarding commerce in the city. I say park your truck and stop working. Same effect as being on the border in a group. No product delivered anywhere. Libs are bullies and tyrants.

So Trudeau calls you names and threatens you with all sort of harm to you and your family if you do not comply. If it was me I would go home, park my truck and just quit. No more food deliveries. No more parts deliveries. No more ANY product that is delivered by truck. Trudeau thinks he can threaten you and then DEMANDS you go back to work serving the Canadian people? Can you imagine all the stores and companies that will shut down if they cannot get product? If all trucking stops? Canada will quickly become crippled. What will Trudeau say then? What if all truckers all of a sudden feel “sick” and cannot work. Truckers are not getting paid now anyway. And if they are not in the bridge and city they can get the money from the funding that has been sent for them.

So libs and Trudeau call truckers white supremacists’, racists, nazis and threaten to take away your license and throw you in jail. They destroy your property and take away YOUR stuff, like gas, wood, food and the like. When you decide to not work anymore what will he demand then? He threatens you and then wants you to go back to work on his terms? THAT is slavery. Sounds tyrannical to me.

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

so the Government can spy on them

AND YouTube! Somethings about to give! Trudeau and Brandon’s administration are up to something. The CIA, FBI and the DOJ are advising Canadian Parliament how to deal with these despots peasants and this is one of their strategy .... Plant an actor in full side of the media pukes which will be on the spot to take video and splash it all over YouTube, Facebook and Twitter ...They desperately want Canadians to turn against the truckers!

No worries,
I guess I can see how my context could be misconstrued.

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

Yep, But they are... They just made their personal decision, the people are now an enemy and subjects of the North American communist party. Law Enforcement are now officially the KGB.

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

****

Never will happen. Too many truckers and way to diverse. A lot of these guys don’t even have any idea that there is a blockade or convoy going on, they just drive right up to the bridge and stop, look around and say, WTF???

However, there are a lot, and I mean a lot, of small owner operators, guys who own 1 truck or as many as 6 trucks. That’s about half of all the trucks.

It’s those guys who can and will stop. Freight capacity is so tight, a 10 to 20% reduction in trucks on the road would lead to a real crises in the supply chain, and shipping rates going through the roof.

The beauty of the organization and the crowd funding is that those funds can be used to pay the owner operators a weekly stipend, which covers for lost income due to being involved in the protest and covers the expense of operating the trucks. That’s about 3k to 4k a week per truck, so you can see that there would be a continual need for the funds.

You don’t have to have a lot of trucks, you just use the trucks as the basis, or the foundation, for the protests. 20 to 50 trucks per protest will do. You need people in the local communities to come out once they are set up, bring the bouncy houses, the stages, etc.

This is what I think they are doing, it’s smart and sophisticated, and it’s happening around the world.

You can have the whole world in protest against mandates, lockdowns, and vax passes at the same time. The honking stops when everyone has their freedoms back. :)

FYI, you’ve got Dr. Robert Malone and Dr. Peter McCullough as the headliners speaking on the stage today in Ottawa.

It doesn’t sound like an attempt at imposing tyrannical slavery to you?

I’m not hoping for violence, would rather see an influx of trucks.
It seems the police have formed a blockade to prevent anyone from joining the protest.
The next logical action would be for anyone arriving to form a blockade on the governments blockade.

It’s too clean, too straight protest against the mandates. Try as hard as they can, they can’t justify it. Castro really tried to from a narrative, and it made him look terrible.

....and 72 hours disruption of critical services (food, water, etc) is typically the point at which social order breaks down.

The average 'Merican only has ~1 week of food in their house. I imagine it is the same for folks up in America's hat.
