OTTAWA, Ontario – Canadian truckers who received notices by police to leave or potentially be arrested, said law enforcement was "over-stepping" with another "scare tactic" and vowed to stay.

"The Charter of Rights and Freedoms says we can peacefully protest" and that document is "basically saying that it's wrong," he continued.
"This is another way of them over-stepping what they are actually allowed to do," the trucker told Fox News Digital.
Trucker Clarence Penner felt similarly. "Everything we're doing is 100% peaceful and within our Charter rights," he said. "If anyone is going to be breaking the law, it's them."
All truckers who spoke to Fox News Digital said they would not leave and expected most others feel the same way.
Penner, for instance, said while the warning may "ruffle some feathers for some," most will not to be scared since they anticipate police "would try every last card in their backpack."
Vizi agreed that some might be intimidated, but said he was committed to staying.
"Somebody can go take my house, I don't care at this point" Vizi said. "Probably, my bank account is froze."
"I'm broke financially anyway so take it, who cares?" Vizi continued.
Canadian trucker Steve Ness told Fox News Digital: "I have a son, I don't want him seeing dad in handcuffs. But I'm not too scared, I'm not doing anything wrong, it's still peaceful."
Also saying he'd be staying indefinitely was trucker, Mike Fabinski. "I'm not moving, I'm staying all the way," he said. "This is the price you pay for freedom, you got to do what you believe."
Like Fabinski, Canadian trucker Matt Mackenzie remained committed to the protest: "As long as it takes, if we were afraid of pieces of paper, we had no business coming in the first place."

They’re dug in. The jack-booted thugs have shown up in droves this morning. City employees erected a fence around parliment this morning. Must be conferring with D.C. /s
“”If anyone is going to be breaking the law, it’s them.” “
Also it sounds like TruDope Castreau never met the requirement to invoke the Emergency legislation.
I’d be a little more aggressive at this point. Take my truck and go home, and stay there.
No food, or fuel shipments to Ottawa.
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.
Leftists get south North America. Civilized humans get north North America.
At the Pacific Highway crossing in Blaine this morning the RCMP has basically militarized the border. K9 teams in the surrounding fields, CCTV crews on site, all southbound vehicles being screened for paperwork and intentions. Both north and south restricted to one lane. All side entrances are closed and manned.
Very few brave protesters at the edge of this, who I air-horned in support. That small gesture resulted in a close tailing of my rig by a RCMP supervisor’s patrol car in order to get my license information.
F_cking JBTs!!!
Remember when we used to say "it can't happen here"? They did too.
Up here in BC I find that most of the workers support the Ottawa truckers. This is NOT true for the East Indians who seem very eager to comply and also enforce the mandates.
Lots of anti- Trudeau stickers, flags, graffiti up here now too.
They have a larger left wing than we do even compared to Washington State - says a lot.
You were southbound?
I heard Trudeau was doing the same thing, so they have something in common!
"I'm broke financially anyway so take it, who cares?"
A man who feels he has nothing to lose is not the enemy you want.
What’s a “shofar”?
I’d rather be dead than jobless and broke anyway, so let’s get it on - I don’t have all day
“At the Pacific Highway crossing in Blaine this morning the RCMP has basically militarized the border.”
Heck, I grew up in Vancouver BC. It ALWAYS has been “militarized” esp. AFTER 9/11. I’ve said it multiple times: it’s ALWAYS the idiot gestapo RCMP/ immigration guards on the Canadian side which gives me problems..not the US side. They hate Canadians who get a green card thinking we’re all traitors (SPIT)

Why don’t you change your screen name to “Sir Robin”
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.
Clearly Nazis
What’s a “shofar”?
A ceremonial Jewish horn, most notably employed on Jericho and by Gabriel to bring this mess to a close.
It is also a pun on “book” or “scroll” once one knocks out the vowels and applies some imagination.
I think that they are also blown to begin the Sabbath year, but I don’t guarantee I have that detail quite right, and I need to get back to class prep.
Live to fight another day.
Monty Python I presume.
Correct on Monty Python. I’m impressed. (I would expect 20-40% of the board to get the reference, but a random individual to, on average, miss it).
There is a time to live and fight another day, and then there is St. Crispin’s day. It seems to me that this is a time for the Bard rather than for John Cleese.
