I cross northbound in Blaine and exit southbound at Sumas almost daily for the past 14 years. It has changed drastically since Monday at Pacific Highway.

On my way east on Hwy 1 just now I saw two Vancouver City buses loaded with what appeared to be RCMP in their military gear being escorted by black SUVs and Vancouver police motorcycles. The motorcycles would not allow anyone to get next to the buses - creating quite the backup.

They exited Hwy 1 at the Abbotsford International Airport exit - I’m assuming that they are being flown to Ottawa.

If this is being coordinated at all, that should be a signal to start playing hardball again out west.

Guerilla tactics involve using a very small force against a numerically superior opponent that is not superior enough to control all territory, and if there is a place that was ever made for such tactics, it would be Canada even more than Russia.

From an Ottawa view point “Out west” starts about 20 minutes west of Kanata.

I live more than an hour beyond that point. We keep sending Gallant back to Parliament, and as far as Ottawa goes she (and us) might as well be from another planet. Too bad that can’t be arranged.

I was going to say that it isn’t my Parliament any more than it is yours—it belongs to the populated areas of Ontario and Montreal more than any of the rest of us—but I looked at your home page—you’re the one who trucks natural gas to BC out of Washington?

I’m originally from a bit south of you (South Western Oregon), but I became a dual citizen about three years back, so I guess that now it is more mine than yours.

A shofar is a trumpet made from the horn of a kosher animal with the marrow removed. The central mitzvah of Rosh Hashanah (the Jewish New Year) is to hear the shofar being blown—often in synagogue, ideally as part of the prayer service.

Christians also use the shofars for prayer.

Joshua and his men blew the shofars when the walls of Jericho tumbled down.

I just saw a new video, where some of the protesters are now blowing the shofar outside of parliament, along with the ongoing truck horns.

It might be nice to look into getting some of those buzzing noisemakers they use at the South American soccer games. Y gawd that is a nightmarish sound

"I'm broke financially anyway so take it, who cares?" Vizi continued.

They've created a situation where these men have nothing left to lose. And the more they push, the more men will find themselves in the same situation. God help the champagne socialists when that happens.

And the RCMP are not numerically superior--unless they're flying in "deputies" from overseas which is not out of the question.
