Protesters are digging in as Ottawa police begin to roll out a plan to end the trucker protest occupation that has clogged the centre of the Canadian capital for almost three weeks. Interim police chief Steve Bell says if they want to leave peacefully, now is the time and they will be given a secure route out of the city.
“If they do not peacefully leave, we have plans, strategies and tactics to get them to leave,” he told reporters, saying that action is “imminent”. Protest organiser Chris Barber was spotted being taken into police custody.
A secure zone with 100 check points is in the process of being set up and only residents, businesses, and people with legitimate reasons to be there will be allowed in. The plan is to stop a weekend influx of demonstrators coming for a fourth time.
Under the Emergencies Act invoked by Prime Minister Justin Trudeau, law enforcement officials have the ability to arrest people for obstruction of roadways and disruptive behaviour within a no-go exclusion zone. Authorities also have the power to seize vehicles and freeze bank accounts.
On Wednesday, leaflets were handed out to the occupants of vehicles parked in the area around parliament warning them to go or face criminal charges. A ban on the use of airhorns has been extended for 60 days. On Thursday morning there were no signs of the convoy moving on and further warnings were issued.
A row has also erupted over the naming of donors to the Canadian trucker protest, with both Fox News host Tucker Carlson and US Democratic representative Ilhan Omar accusing the media of inciting violence by making public the names of people who donated to the protesters.

Now would be a good time for Quebec to say “We’re out” and step away from Lil’ Hitler’s jackboot.
Did Canada have any of the ‘BLM’ and other radical action that we saw destroying neighborhoods and small businesses in our ‘Summer of Love’?
And if so, did this effete Trudeau person bother to sit down and actually speak with THOSE people?
The truckers in Ottawa haven’t seemed to me to really disrupt anything. (They probably would have majorly pumped-up the Ottawa economy - if the restaurants and stores had been open without all these artificial restrictions.)

Trudy Castrato not only met with BLMers and Auntifazers but marched with them and praised them.
I don't think liberty has won one of those since maybe Grenada .
Probably that is about right.
There have been some bad guys kicked to the ground since, but without a decent succession plan. Meet the new boss, same as the old boss.
Taking over Afghanistan or Iraq without an exit plan is like catching a tiger by the tail.
The problem is that the freedom truckers have no place to go. The government has destroyed them financially. Justine shut down their bank accounts and took their homes.
They are all-in, just like our founding fathers. They are the same class of hero.
Ottawa Police have arrested Freedom Convoy leader Chris Barber

Are they really police or something else? Taking part in the suppression of freedom is not what many people would consider normal police duties. They are acting more like enforcers.
Canada will never get over the negative image that this abuse of power will cause. It will haunt the country for decades.
A Canadian CHAZ with all of the unemployed Canadian TSA agents getting back on the payroll. If God's a coming, he oughta make it by then.

Hopefully, she ends up winning La Monte-à-regret at the denouement...
You're either with the truckers, or you're a CanadianNazi.
Remember, it's OK to punch Nazis.
good luck maintaining 100 checkpoints.
Remember, it's OK to punch Nazis.
I'm going to make any Canadian I run into declare for or against the truckers.
They'd better pick the right answer, because otherwise, IT'S NAZI TIME!
Antifa has blessed this method of dealing with Nazis.
The National Razor is looking for you, #Mooselini.
I was tickled when Greg Gutfeld tonight called Trudeau ‘The Prime Miniature’.
Aw, Jeez...
ROTFLMAO!
That is Good! On the ongoing covoy thread someone called him Trudescu (with the little thingie above the “u”) which is good too. I call him Trudy Castrato or Trudy Castreaux.

The government has zero fear of the truckers and supports. Might as well hire antifa for kicks and giggles to see how the government quakes in their shoes.
