‘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 philosophical disease spreaders will have won, not the truckers, regardless of how much disease they do or don’t spread in actuality.

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

Absolutely! The truckers are just trying to get the attention of the government. If they really wanted to create havoc, they have other tools.

I knew American liberals were stupid, but I thought the Canadians were a little more practical. They sure know how to mismanage a crisis!

Once the cops and/or military turn on you, you’re done. Who are you going to send to arrest the cops?

But the incident itself, with all its massive publicity, will probably be a precedent for having no more controls at the borders in terms of covid. Or any other disease.
The philosophical disease spreaders will have won, not the truckers, regardless of how much disease they do or don't spread in actuality.

The horror! Totalitarian governments won't be able to use border policy to strangle their own citizens, how regressive.

Your statement is pure idiotic drivel.

All this government overreach over a vaccine mandate for a virus with a 98% survival rate.

The reason this is happening is Justine Castreau wants blind obedience to his dictates to please his globalist paymasters, to keep the Great Reset on course. It’s all about power and control, and has nothing to do with real health concerns.

I imagine it is the same for folks up in America's hat.

Perhaps. Given winter has started and some level of disruptions are normally to be expected, I'd guess their average hats have a few weeks' reserves. Not much in the way of ammo, though...

I have been on the patriot side from the beginning. I just think they have been making some mistakes. Mostly in disregarding the existence of propaganda campaigns by our enemies.

Here's a YouTube video that explains a bit about Omicron BA.2, but be aware that it is 9 days old, so the figures certainly have changed since then.

This is truly the opening battle in the global revolution for Freedom against the Davos pukes.

“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”

.

That is exactly why.

“I would not go to jail over this.”
Then the protestors should refrain from
spitting on the sidewalk. The cops will
be looking for any excuse.
They have a right to be there, to peaceably
protest. As of yet, they haven’t broken any
laws, as evidenced by the lack of police
actions. The most they’ve been admonished
for at this point, is horn honking.
