From what I heard most of them had already been destroyed financially and have no homes to go to. They have nothing left to lose. One guy they interviewed was asked how he felt about them freezing his bank account. He said it didn’t bother him because there was nothing there anyway. He laughed that if Castreau wanted to put some in there it would be OK with him.

Singh seems to be telegraphic support for the Emergency Decree. You’re suggesting this goes to a vote and Singh torpedoes Trudeau. Maybe he is a “Republican”.

We bought our vacation home in North Idaho four years ago planning to use it as a base to explore BC and Alberta. The best laid plans, etc....

“...should go well beyond just truck drivers.”

Notice we aren’t hearing much, if anything at all, about what the average Canadians think about this and the COVID lockdowns? All we’ve heard is that the residents of Ottawa are tired of the blockade of their city — and I question the veracity of that reporting.

The best moves are to:

1) Withdraw…but try to work out a deal to have the mandates lifted AND the emergency declaration withdraw

2) if no deal can be worked out on #1, then have as many truckers go on strike as possible, until Castreau is forced from office.

IOW, no giving in at all, just different tactics.

Withdraw and then withdraw support to the feds (no food, etc) in order to get the mandates and emergency declaration lifted?

” Establishment carriers will be glad to fill the void.”

It’s not the carriers that could fill the void.

It’s the drivers.

If they are willing to go home the government folds.

If the drivers are not enough, well they have family and friends in all skills and trades that are going to be hunted by Trudeau’s Troopers for the ex post facto crime of ohhh... donating $50.00.

So now the field expands.

Mechanics, part suppliers, electricians, plumbers, IT, computer network support, HVAC, P2P communication systems, radio service and repair, there are a lot of moving parts to cop shops and .gov offices so, no support for any of the LEO or government agencies.

Suppliers of ammo, pepper spray, batteries, uniforms, printer toner, paper, office and bathroom supplies, etc, they can all have shortages and out-of-stock issues.

LOTS of moving parts.

If he keeps his powers, like I think he will, they just need to keep enough rumors around of new convoys or protests and the Canadian Gestapo will just shut down massive areas for them.

Were those Canadian police? Canadian troops? I am betting they were flown in from UN signatory nations. I never heard one bit of french or english spoken by the so called cops. No badges, no names, only numbered helmets. This “insurrection” was put down by a foreign army. Prove me wrong.

Exactly.

When I was a flight attendant, AFA (Association of Flight Attendants) created a strike plan called CHAOS- Create Havoc Around Our System.

They would strike not nationwide but at singular airports out of the blue. The company had been cross training other workers to serve as flight attendants to prepare for a strike but the flight attendants would strike at distant airports where cross trained employees could not have been flown in time to prevent cancellations. Cancelling a few flights where the planes were needed on other flights as well as the crews would have been a death knell as the domino effect would have been crippling with very few outstations getting the ‘CHAOS’ signal.

It was a beautiful thing. Terrifying to the company because there were only little pinpoints of destruction that could never be managed, not a systemwide shutdown which they could have spun to their advantage.

Some of the pigs must socialize with neighbors. Maybe a weekly poker game. The neighbors could kick the crap out of him likely without consequence.

How hard is it to drive a truck really? It is not like they have a stick shift, a button for the two speed rear end and a “brownie”. These trucks have automatic transmissions, and they can have people who are experience for backing them in to load or unload. Hell, the military must have women who can drive a truck. It is not a fun job, although I enjoyed the hell out of it. It is just a matter of bringing in some Durkas, or Chinkanese.

There are protests going on throughout Canada with serious local participation. You'll never see it on the Corporate Media or the Canadian government's broadcasting system, the CBC, but youtube and other social media has plenty of coverage of it.

Here's a guy in a small BC town who has covered two of them in the last two days. Marcel Irnie

Here is the rally he covered Saturday in Oliver, BC, a town of less than 4k people, hundreds of cars heading to the border. Okanagan Freedom Convoy Osoyoos Pt.4 "RC & Red Pill Rappers" Feb.19, 2022

Here is what he covered today. Penticton BC, Freedom Rally Feb.20, 2022

Gorgeous country. When in training for nuclear subs I spent six months in Idaho Falls. Took a trip up through Yellowstone, Glacier, Calgary, Jasper, Banff and Lake Louise. Just gorgeous country. Would love to go back when I retire, but I guess that isn't going to be happening.

It will be a bitch clearing that clogged drain line if no plumber will show up.

They’ll be easier to beat up and arrest individually. They don’t see this?
