The border crossing between Coutts, Alberta (CA) and Sweet Grass, Montana (USA) continues to be closed despite truckers opening a lane in either direction as a show of good faith. The dynamics in this regional part of the larger Freedom Convoy protests are very interesting. The Alberta protests are in support of the larger trucker protest taking place in Ottawa.
Last night, Alberta Premier Jason Kenney (the Robert the Bruce character in the province), disparaged the truckers in the protest group and claimed, without evidence, that violence was taking place in the confrontation between RCMP and the Truckers. It was all lies.
Just like Justin Trudeau makes stuff up for media stenographers to draw an alternate framework of reality, so too did Jason Kenney have the same motive. The painfully political Kenney, a visible elitist and detached politician, was playing his controlled opposition role and attacking the Freedom Truckers.
Just to give appropriate understanding for how detached these conservatives in Canada are from the people they claim to represent, Jason Kenney’s political worm traits were on full display during his prepared remarks on Tuesday. However, 24 hours later, as soon as his brother in controlled opposition Erin O’Toole was removed from political power, suddenly Premier Kenney has a change of heart and proclaims his allegiance to the Truckers, saying, “I’m on your side.” The slime oozes from this guy.
Despite all that, the truckers remained focused -reinforced their ranks- and engaged in conversation with the rural Ministers of Alberta’s Legislative Assembly (MLA’s). The MLA’s are apparently slightly less slimy creatures akin to political clan leaders in the province.
The rural MLA’s said they would hold a meeting and drop the COVID mandates, thereby supporting the demands of the truckers. In exchange, and as an act of good faith, the truckers would open a lane in each direction of the highway at the Coutts border crossing area. The RCMP was happy to see negotiations be fruitful and backed away from any police enforcement action.
However, the The United Conservative Party, the right wing of the Trudeau led uniparty, then denied there was any agreement:
“Reports have surfaced that the United Conservative rural caucus has negotiated an agreement to temporarily end the Coutts blockade pending the outcome of a rural caucus meeting to discuss the immediate lifting of the Restrictions Exemption Program (REP),” UCP caucus chair Nathan Neudorf said in a statement Wednesday afternoon.
“No such agreement has been authorized and the meeting is not to discuss lifting the REP. As the Premier [Kenney] has stated, Alberta will begin lifting restrictions very soon, likely within days, starting with the REP.” (link)
Conservative politics in Canada is even more slimy than GOP politics in the U.S.
The Conservative Party does not want to see the truckers achieve through grassroots activism what their highbrow political pontifications could not deliver. Therefore, the official position of the Conservative Party of Canada is to downplay the influence of the truckers until the installed correct thinking politicians are in position to take credit.
The problem for Premier Jason Kenney, and the larger Conservative Political Party in Canada not just in Alberta, is the blue collar truckers and grassroots ordinary Canadians have proven they can win without politicians. This is a similar scenario to the Tea Party in the U.S. circa 2010.
Just as the GOP in the U.S. is full of useless pontificating cocktail party cronies who powder themselves in the country clubs of Wall Street finance, so too does the Conservative Party of Canada follow the same political business model.
Kenney and the Conservative Party are trying to figure out how to acquiesce to the Freedom Trucker movement and remove COVID restrictions without letting it appear like the Freedom Truckers won. The dynamic is transparent and sickening, and it shows the reason why there has been no opposition to Justin Trudeau throughout his tenure.
The Canadian Conservative Party is the right wing of the UniParty bird, and the extreme liberals are the left wing. Both parties support the vulture of big government.
As a result, the Freedom Trucker movement is a threat to politicians in the Canadian Conservative Party just like the Tea Party and MAGA movement were/are a threat to the Republican Party in the U.S.
The working class in Canada holds all the power, but both wings of the UniParty do not want that noticed. Unfortunately for them, the Freedom Trucker movement has exposed the power of the people in Canada, and the politicians -in both parties- don’t know how to act.
The border will open as a sign of good faith that Alberta's rural MLAs will lift the mandates. pic.twitter.com/lD18nke4nD

Truckers rearranged the blockade earlier to open one lane north and one south as a showing of good faith, and easier access for locals. Border remains closed for various reasons.

How to identify as a fake scumbag politico in one easy lesson.
Your screen name is PERFECT to be right under the picture of Jason Kenney!
God works in mysterious ways…
As they say in politics and journalism, never let them see how the sausage is made.
Neve trust a RINO, in any country, bearing gifts.
The Canadian people are in charge, that has to be the end game for the truckers as the mandates are lifted, 100%.
The leaders of the Truckers say “O’toole has to go, like yesterday.”
Within 24 hours, rumors fly that he is being voted out, and iin another 24, he is out.
They also say anyone moving up to his position also sucks, just not quote as bad, making it clear new blood is needed, simply picking another Rino to take his place is not acceptable.
Sorry I can’t post links, but on another thread there was a youtube video; a Dr, I think “indigenous” speaking to the crowd.
On the stage with her, was the woman (also indigenous) who is one of the three, at the press conference.
This Dr gave a beautiful, PERFECT impassioned speech; she was either auditioning, or being “groomed” for political office, quite possibly as P.M
I THINK the PEOPLE, thru their agents/representatives the TRUCKERS ….ARE in charge!
You can be sure that if the RINOs are bearing gifts, they are made in China! lol
Some of them are probably checking their CCP handlers for new instructions and reassurance that the gifts to them are still coming.
Covid test kits are made in China. It would not surprise me if their results are predetermined in Bejing. Who will question them?
RINO’s never change their hearts.
They just lie harder.
And they will seethe with anger and betray you even worse the next chance they have.
Hell hath no fury like a RINO scorned!
Wood Elf, I have my money on AMERICAN PATRIOTS.
We the People have a Constitutional Duty to right this Wrong.
Now wasn’t that special.
The only thing missing was a rousing rendition of the “Hokey Pokey”.
If his heart can change that fast on a dime, he aught to see a cardiologist.
Truckercarditis for sure, he has all the symptoms.
Palpitations, chest pain, shortness of breath, diaphoresis, pallor, high blood pressure, vertigo…signs of a dying politician. Progression also includes impaired memory and confusion related to prior decisions.
The only cure is to end the fake pandemic.
This is at least the 3rd time he’s flipped. And that’s just in the past 4 days or so.
Don’t know what he “believed” last week.
If Mitt Romney and Liz Cheney hooked up years ago, Kenney has to be the product of that.
That was NOT “siding with the Truckers”, that was typical bullshirt, justifying their senseless, heavyhanded and counterproductive health policy mandates as “minimally restrictive” and neccesary.
pitiful, his political career is over, he’s dead, just the body is still twitching.
I don’t know who sleezes better, the CCP or the GOP…
I assume sundance hasn’t been studying Canadian politics in depth for very long given the volumes of research and detailed articles he often produces about American politics. But IMO, he’s gotten to the deepest part of the rotting core of Canadian politics:
“The Canadian Conservative Party is the right wing of the UniParty bird, and the extreme liberals are the left wing. Both parties support the vulture of big government.”
I’ve never seen any celebrated political writer in Canada describe the essence of politics in Canada so accurately. Ezra of Rebel news is aware of the corruption but he’s been marginalized to most of the pop’n. Mark Steyn also knows but he’s mostly engaged in U.S. and UK politics.
The Uni-party reality is the definite reason why elections in Canada, especially during a string of Trudeau gov’ts, have become basically a wasted exercise because Ottawa is like DC, a Big Club that acts out on a Parliamentary stage in various ways to dupe their voters. The NDP didn’t hesitate to prop up Trudeau’s minority gov’t.
Meanwhile the “elite” increasingly gain more power and control that is directly proportional to the freedoms and opportunities the “proletarians” lose.
O’Toole had to go because his poor stage performances endangered some of their MP jobs. I don’t know how this will end but I don’t have faith that the CPC with their new interim leader care whether the Truckers win or not.
Thank you for your insight and take on this situation. Praying for the people of Canada and the world!
It’s appropriate to give a Rebel “Shoutout” to Rebel News.
Rebel News has held the standard high for the 5th Estate.
Well done! The virtue of the 5th estate was protected by Rebel News… With Vigor!
Oh barf….anyone got some Zofran?
He really tried to spin it…you can smell the fear. Stand strong Canada!
Covid restrictions will end soon in America…Especially with ‘funding’ the US govt is coming due later this month.
“Covid restrictions will end soon in America…Especially with ‘funding’ the US govt is coming due later this month.”

T-Mobile and Disneyland just announced firings for those not vaxxed.
The mandates continue in the [once] “land of the free”…
As you were comparing Freedom Trucker in Canada to the Tea Party in the U.S., I was thinking about the similarities to Solidarity in Poland. God bless them!
I hope so!
That guy Kenney looks shifty as hell from here. I’d question EVERYTHING he says. Certainly would not buy a used car off him – you could never be sure what you’re getting for your money.
I thought Robert the Bruce was a good guy (the spider in the cave and all) or did I misread my history?
God Bless the Truckers!
Slime ball is to nice. He’s a f—king slime ball.
live feed.
The guy streaming from Coutts is directly in front of police barricade, and said his truck is facing south. A few minutes ago he pointed his camera north to show an endless river of headlights.
It was mentioned that a US convoy is headed their way
New live stream started (Youtube times out after 12hrs)
There was a short discussion on the feed that the cops are waiting for folks to leave for the night then start arresting truckers in small groups as holes open up in line.
That’s a predictable strategy. You thin out the herd, so to speak, either by attrition, threat, etc, and then have a smaller more manageable group to go after. Hope the truckers can hang on. This cannot be easy and I would imagine the experience can start to wear some down.
So, these idiot RCMP’s in Alberta, playing games and getting repeatedly pants’d,…they DO know about the 10,000 trucks in Ottawa, right?
Or, are they just focused on the mission in front of them?
How embarrasing for LE.
More than 10,000…….a lot more than that.
I don’t think the Truckers will be worn down. Other way around.
Let’s see how the po po hold up when their heated patrol cars come up disabled and there is no warm place to plan their next move
“Just doing my job ” FJB
So much for honorable agreements. G-d bless those truckers.
Do you think they are smart enough to realize whatever they do in Coutts will have reverberations in Ottawa?
Yeah, arrest some truckers in Coutts, then watch what happens in Ottawa.
I strongly agree!!
IT won’t be Just Ottawa. There are WAY more of US than them. Fearless. Filled with Righteous Anger. We won’t be talked down to. We will prevail.
Our prayers are with you!
‘political power’, effectively, ended when the inter-webs b’cm ‘a thing’ ;
(when TPTB actually lost control of the info’ flow )
( its just taken a time to root them all out…… )
the 2016 US election proved that;
they desperately tried to ‘claw back’ their power by stealing the 2020 election….
but: they just made it worse…
these protests are, more likely than not, their actual death knell …
and: countless millions of people not ‘going along’ with their death ‘jabs’ is a big ‘snook’ …..
‘cocked’ in their general direction;
now: they know what ‘time’ it is…
It ALL ends now !
Not in 2 weeks …. not next month ‘maybe’ ……. NOW !!
What a trip. Saving face is hard work.
I’m curious what Canadian Treepers think of Moe.
He speaks like any other sleazy politician who is feeling the heat. I think he’s supposed to be a “conservative,” but this video doesn’t show any real evidence of that. I think he’d fit in well with the RINOs down here.
Thanks. My brain tuned into the familiar vague speak. There was a lot of well, we might want to start thinking about and considering a discussion about perhaps maybe…. And my brain recognized all the familiar bs that strings the listener along, almost hypnotized by the nothingness of which they speak delivered with apparent sincerity. But now we’re awake and the mealy mouthed way of speaking is so transparent.
Yeah, it’s the usual phony “uniparty-speak” that could have been uttered here by Linzee, Romney, McTurtle or any number of other RINOs. It’s amazing how alike they are, both here and up there. It’s the effect of globalism on politics.
The doctors and governments have been mass murdering people by medical interference since March 2020 for early HCQ-zinc, and about since August 2020 on IVM.
There is little to be said for the foot draggers that couldn’t be attached to a tree.
There must be tens of thousands of mds and nurses and others guilty of medical malpractice by withholding or otherwise not recommending invermectin and other proven treatments–and pushing dangerous unapproved shots.
As far as I am concerned they are all guilty of medical malpractice and merit prosecution. They all rolled over and followed fauxys orders, violating their Hippocratic Oath and general medical bioethics. The tik tok dance videos were the icing on the cake.
I believe the system needs a major housecleaning and they all need to be purged. Hospital administrators too.
They should be charged with premeditated murder!
And cut the 7 and 8 figure salaries.
Agreed amen
We’ve now got a world of hypochondriacs and cynics thanks to the last two years of usurpation of our lives and the elimination of those we love. We don’t believe anybody anymore.
I like him. I think he is doing a “bang-up” job. He “cycles” well in the corners…
Is it me, or can you hear the stress and fear in his voice?
So far the Canadian Government has continued to push & demand jabs, mandates, lockdowns, masking and passports to the citizens regardless of any reported adverse reactions, harm done to children from masking, job loss, business closings and financial ruin for some.
So let me ask the question……….
What happens if the government doesn’t give in and then the world and Canadians learn that the jab is causing more harm than good?
What happens then in this hypothetical scenario?
Canadians only know what the Government run media tells them.
NOT true; they have the same sources available to them that we have.
If only Canadians had the internet.
And electricity and indoor plumbing bertdilbert.
Sheesh. /s
you’re kidding right? Canadians have everything you have and can still live in -30 weather. In case you haven’t noticed – the truckers are protesting in mid winter and it’s still minus 20 at Coutts.
Then you understand the problem and what Wvvet means.
Really? Take a look at the videos, not justvof the Trucks, but of the SUPPORTERS,…seems to me much more than a small fringe group, that are saying with words and actions that they DON’T just know what the Government run media tells them.
Dutch, I think he’s just saying they deal with the same BS we deal with here in the US. A large portion of the population is glued to government tv, and that is all they believe. But to your point- I think as time goes on, the word gets out and people who normally would be cowardly garner strength to join those they agree with…
I saw a great video on Gettr posted by the truckers- it said, this is how a movement starts. It showed people at a concert in the lawn seats. One person gets up and starts dancing like a fool. Just looking stupid. But having fun. Everyone is watching….then another person joins in and starts doing his own stupid dancing. Both, from an outside observer, look like spazzes. People still watching. Finally a third joins. Then a fourth. After the fourth- about 30 people who were just sitting around, start getting up and joining in.
That video is a perfect representation of where we are right now- we just need one person to start dancing like a fool so that another follows, and another, and another until there are enough dancing fools where everyone else who wants to dance like a fool can blend in and become one with the mob. Most humans are followers. It was a great video IMO.
Let’s dance put on your red shoes and dance
The MSM will spin it whichever way they are told. The sleeping public won’t have a clue.
The Canadian Gov. already knows that the jab does more harm than good; I mean if I know it, there is no way they don’t know it!! “What happens then in this hypothetical scenario?” Gov.: oops, sorry, we didn’t know…..
No way any of these Teflon Marxists will be held accountable. Just think about Cuomo and the thousands of Nursing home residents he Murdered; that is under the rug now — wah, wah, wadaya talkin about. LMFAO
Anyone advocating jabs for kids with the current “vaccines” is basically a state based bioterrorist.
Deal with it.
Then the renovation work on Parliament just got far more extensive?

Candice wins being new leader, temporarily
“Soothe the party and bring the divisions together” Translation: Save face for the Comminadian Parlipoliburo! Well that really isn’t possible; they are simply going to have to bite the bullet and concede that they were wrong!
Pierre Polievre is just another Trudeau Clone.
They’re also out fundraising the politicians…
I don’t think they are having to fund raise they just need an avenue for people to get money to them. Looks like people are anxious to support them.
GoFundMe has shut it down folks — Why do we have this irrational faith that our Enemy is our friend. . . ?
Answer:
https://www.givesendgo.com/
“Kenney and the Conservative Party are trying to figure out how to acquiesce to the Freedom Trucker movement and remove COVID restrictions without letting it appear like the Freedom Truckers won. “
And more importantly, they want to make it reality that the Truckers didn’t actually win anything at all, but just get tricked into thinking they did.
This 4d chess is pointless if People already know the current political top is a bunch of lying totalitarian crapsacks. If one drops dead from their experimental poison shot I am sure they won’t be crying at the funeral. True sociopaths.
When they remove the covid mandates, as they will, there will be no question that the truckers caused it. There is no way out for these people, and right now they are acting like the cornered animals that they are. Just hold out – NO COMPROMISE – and they will have no choice but to surrender.
The Truckers Convoy has turned the 3 major Canadian political parties into 3 minor political parties.
I would get any concessions in writing and on tape. Also might as well as demand Trudeau lick donkey **** live on YouTube. He would probably like that but it would be funny just the same.
Part of any deal should include the stipulation that Trudeau and all public officials retract all false accusations they made of the truckers.
They might also require that Trudeau publicly swear to abstain from any further wearing of blackface or engaging in any similar demeaning behavior offensive to people of color.
Since the truckers have the hammer at this point, might as well put together a long list of demands.
Perhaps Trudeau shall be made to wear a ” Yellow Star ” , or something to show his capitulation ?
That would be ridiculous, but the public retraction and apology for lying to the public and blaming the blameless people with smears for his actions would be good and in many instances. It is often considered a confession not only of sins, but of the wrongdoing and grievances upon those he’s harmed, and in helping to clear his own soul for his benefit of a chance at a better live without anger and evil attachments.
That’s a natural for one of the steps in a much-needed Politicians Anonymous 12 step program.
The apology is good, as part of his tesignation speech.
In addition, whoever is the top one or two health officials, that pushed the policy for the last two years, should also resign.
I am extremely impressed with what I have seen, of the Truckers leadership.
They seem to know EXACTLY what they are doing, have clear goals and know how to achieve them.
Seems to me, at the 30,000 ft level, they have made ALL the Pols, Trudope and libs, and Conservatives as well,…irrelevant.
They are already grooming “ordinary people” (actually, extraordinary patriots) people who are NOT Career politicians, to step in and right the ship.
They are just kind of gently elbowing the careerists out of the way, and taking the wheel.
Its “grassroots” politics, but it is being done at a super accellerated pace seldom if ever seen.
I don’t think the careerists are fully awarevof whats happening, and to the degree they are they have no idea what to DO.
agree.
they are fighting a man’s war,
and schooling the kiddies-in-power along the way.
i can’t help but think the “concession”” of opening a line either way had been thought out
well in advance, and to their advantage.
there is some tactical brilliance going on there.
should read “lane”….
(too much snow removal yesterday!😂)
And, Dutch, it’s about to cross the border into the US.
I think you and I both know that some of the politicians see it coming. It’s why they erected those barriers around the WH.
They knew this was coming. But, I still think some are so full of themselves they are convincing themselves it is just a fringe….
Part of the deal must include Trudeau’s resignation. He cannot be allowed to survive this.
Agreed! Trudeau is an absolute tyrant and cares zero about the views of Canadian citizens.
This is a pivotal historical point. The Truckers have a strong tailwind and the backing of Canadians and citizens around the world.
Trudeau is a criminal and should be ordered out of office. I believe that is the prize. To allow Turdeau to return to office allows him to go back to his nazi ways. Just dropping the illegal mandates is a little slap on the wrist.
Throw the bum out tell him it could be much worse for him.
“Part of the deal must include Trudeau’s resignation. He cannot be allowed to survive this.”
Resignation? Should be the skin of his ballz. They would make a great lampshade – and a ‘health’ warning to its denizens in Parliament’s foyer.
And he should be required to denounce his fathers: Satin and Fidel.
I would agree with satan and Fidel. Satin and Fidel sounds like an Afro Cuban dance troupe lol
They should demand his resignation…
If they follow a negotiating tactic utilized by West Point Academicians in teaching the future military leaders of tomorrow:
They must have already ‘defined’ their victory. Meaning, have established in their long term goal, the absolute minimum acceptable, for their victory.
The longer the list, the more bargaining power.
The Truckers SHOULD NOT Relent until all mandates are lifted and COVIDmania is ended by law! Do NOT disperse until your objectives are reached and an enforcement mechanism is in place! Remember what happened to Wat Tyler in 1381; Richard II was prepared to meet the peasants’ demands, then they sneakily killed Tyler, reneged on their promises when the peasants dispersed, and hunted them down!
How is the weather on your part of Barsoom?
Agreed. The road to hell is paved w/good intentions. All or nothing.
Exactly. People must learn from countless examples in history: once you defeat your enemy, you MUST make it so he never rises again. Because he will: in stealth, he will reassemble his resources until he feels powerful enough to attack again.
Achieving a lifting of all mandates and an ending to COVIDmania are worthy goals, but I think it is a big mistake to leave those in power who brought such tyranny in the first place. They must not live–politically speaking only–to fight us another day.
Go, Canada….so very proud of all of you!
A lot of what is happening, is going on behind the scenes, and yet right out in broad daylight.
I am confident the Truckers are in the process of remaking the parliament; most of those currently in office, WILL be, as you say POLITICALLY dead in short order.
These leaders are MUCH smarter than the careerists, have given this a lot of thought, and know EXACTLY what they are doing.
In this battle of wits, the careerist politicians are totally outgunned.
And, unlike the politicians, these people believe in what they are fighting for…the Pols follow the money.
A very recent example is President Trump. They said he must be destroyed and they tried to do just that. Even tried to have him killed by planting the Covid-19 bug. They are still working on it with all the investigations keeping him bogged down with legal problems. Seems nothing they try is working. Thank you God.
And then having driven a truck for a living should be a requirement to run for office for the next 6 years. This is a decision to be made by the people and not by decree because the decree would be written to make it useless. The idea is to get rid of the Uniparty.
AMERICA ……….. Do Your Thing !
Canada Re-Lit Freedoms Torch , Run With It !!!
Look at what We The People started a couple centuries ago … now the ruling elite just keep forgetting what their role is … they actually think they’re there to rule, rather than serve the people. They’ve pushed too many buttons and now have to face a growing explosion.
They are supposed to work for us. They have forgotten.
Excellent piece! Thank you. It explained a lot. I especially appreciated the discussion about how seemingly impossible it is for so-called conservatives in Canada to do anything good now because it will seem like the truckers won. Is anyone else so so so very tired of this adolescent kind of functioning that runs rampant through the elites (irrespective of party)? Doing the right thing eludes them. It always seems to boil down to who will get credit, how any given decision will be framed, deciding how effectively they will be able to doing fundraising afterwards, etc. It’s so tiresome, childish, petty, and utterly reprehensible.
Exactly – there is no honor involved in anything anymore – just “what can I get out of this?” So very unbecoming.
“No honor” is the perfect description.
Too much (false) pride to let the commoners win anything. Once they win it may become addicting then where would the ruling class be.
You make a really important point. Heaven forbid the commoners actually wield any power of their own. No they must not be allowed. The power must be held exclusively by the ruling class (hence, the name, eh?).
They ARE, and have been behaving for a long time, like a bunch of children.
I watched the video Sundance posted, of parlimentary debating, over “rascism”.
So childish, Then I compared that to the Truckers leadership press conference.
The adults in the room. They have stepped in, and are mostly ignoring the children, and doing what needs to be done.
And the silly children are distracting themselves, playing to the cameras, arguing about rascism, while outside, nobody CARES!
Sarah does this surprise you:
I see this at work every day. Very few in our offices (and I bet most of us are those voices) speak their mind and tell it like it is. I know I have to listen to my boss spout words, about words, to describe words thus leading to how he can get credit with our President based on his words, not the action of those doing the work.
This is no different.
Thanks for noticing Sundance. Thats Cool
Candice Bergen elected Interim Conservative leader:
That green chair has gotta go, I would put that in the deal. Justy gets sent to Havana and that chair goes w/him.
Great suggestion.
If I may add. Electrifying it as an upgrade first, of course
Question Period is an opportunity for MP’s to earn an evening news or twitter sound bite like this one. Candice might be sincere but it is impossible to know for sure. Many speakers are just acting.
I call this a Rand Jordan moment. Sound great. Spot on. But….never go anywhere. Let’s hope she’s not pulling a Rand Jordan.
Don’t get me wrong, I appreciate them always appearing to say the right things, ask the right questions…but nothing ever happens. Action, not words.
Any stories how the blockade or Ottawa strike are affecting Canadian supply lines?
Went grocery shopping yesterday in Edmonton, ALBERTA (used to call it OIL-Berta) and everything I could’ve wanted or needed was available at two different grocery stores … fruit, veg, dairy, meat. — SOOOOO very proud of my fellow Albertans standing up for FREEDOM!!
Hey! I thought Canadians didn’t have the internet.
Just joking, IfThenLogic, because somebody said that earlier in this thread. But I think Bert forgot the sarc/s tag.
Glad you’re getting what you need.
Canadians are showing us the way to freedom and I hope we can follow you all the way.
Notwithstanding the fact it’s still the two party evil money/power cult of D C!
Without US they got nothing and they know it!
Walk Proud
Eyes straight ahead
Lots of good updates and links. Canadians are urged to contact their elected officials, to seize this moment to be heard, among other bits of info and updates in the piece (some likely redudant to what Sundance posted, but a couple, I think, are new).

The Patriot truckers appear to have the upper hand, good for them. The future is yours truckers.
Oh No! The United States is funding the Occupation! Pretty entertaining interview. Police don’t have a solution and are begging for Justy to come out of hiding to help the PO Chief. They are screwed and know it. No amount of word salad is going to save them. Such drama w/MSM.
Cracks me up. Now they are worried about the businesses and residents. Give me a break. Governments have locked down businesses and destroyed them and have locked down the residents. The irony …..
LE just stated the obvious, there is no law enforcement solution, to getting 10,000 semis blockading Ottawa to leave, when they don’t want to leave.
“Sorry, Justin,…try the military?”
We have many former, and perhaps some current military commenters.
Want to speculate on what the military advisors would tell Justin?
“Well, we CAN get the truckers out of Ottawa.”
“Oh,..GREAT!”
“Afraid there won’t be much of Ottawa left, tho!”
“Oh,…bummer!”
The cops have relatives and friends within the Freedom Convoy. The Federal Government should buy the coffee and doughnuts and let them work out any “policing solutions” amongst themselves.
So simple, stupid; just end the mandates, if you follow the science.
End the Mandates!
Funny how that solution wasn’t mentioned.
Because that solution stops their cash flow.
Its about more than mandates. The .gov must pass a law to dissolve that power … never to be attempted again.
Lighten up, Francis… it’s a Winter Of Love up there in the Great White North!
.
The solution is easy. Canada is a free country, so cut the Covid crap.
Trudeau and his globalist cabalists must step down and gtfo.
Watching that video inspired one person to send additional US money to the Freedom Convoy. Me.
The GOP Rino’s are the most reprehensible! Knowingly kneeling and serving their evil masters!
Is it just me, but why do these blowhards always look so bloated, and well, fat?
I mean, I know this guy
Is a “leader” but does he not own a mirror! Fat cat example!
I get we are not supposed to comment on a person’s physical appearance, but really, he is the embodiment of full of it!!
Just my opinion of course!
Its not as if grifting provides a good cardiovascular workout.
Plenty of fat people look much much healthier than this guy. First time I saw his picture it occurred to me he look sickly. Probably breaks out in a sweat getting dressed. It seems to me FJB could whoop him behind the wood shed from his sickly appearance.
Look, some of us like Golden Corral.

It will be interesting to see whether Canada’s immature Statist PM Trudeau can get re-elected.
I would have first said no after his “racist, misogynist, anti-semitic, haters of mint ice cream truckers” patently false rant.
But I’m not so sure, Canadians love a soft marxist dress up poseur who reassures them they are “nice” and to glory in their “nice” weaknesses. Makes them feel cosy.
Depends on how well Trudeau and his party cheats….
Nah, like it or lump it Canadian elections are relatively honest compared to the US.
Do you notice there is not one word from Jagmeet of NDP fame?
He reminds me of duck hunting. Jagmeet went into the decoy spread. Everyone is watching and waiting to see which “hounds” will go in and retrieve him.
He wasn’t elected with a majority. He’s propped up by the socialist NDP.
Beating him means also reducing NDP seats. Actually, the NDP came in fourth in seats, with the Quebec separatist Bloc having more seats. But they too, like the Greens are pure socialist. And grovel to grab their crumbs by supporting Trudeau.
Here’s the entire data set.

He’s there by a legal Parliamentary coalition arrangement.
Not having an absolute majority is irrelevant and happens in many Parliaments world wide.
Canadians like nice soft leftists….all parties comply with that requirement.
He gets an easy coalition.
I predict he will next time.
It’s about obsequious Canadian culture.
I do not think it will come to that. Betting he will resign.
The John Deere Brigade. I wonder what that company has to say?
hahaha!
A GREEN NEW DEAL!
At some point these tyrants need to pay a price, and not just the political price of a fake mea culpa speech or even a forced resignation. They need to pay real consequences in proportion to the nature of the crimes they have perpetrated against their citizens. The longer this drags out, the longer they refuse to admit to their tyranny, the more the citizens will demand. These tyrants have demanded forced application of experimental medical procedures on their citizens, often resulting in permanent damages and death. They need to be tried for their crimes against humanity and locked away in a solitary prison cell for eternity. The citizens of the world should settle for absolutely nothing less.
They need to pay the same price that those who were convicted at Nuremburg did. Forget prison. They need to be hung by the neck until they are dead.
Sure, in a perfect world, and in time.
However, the immediate need is to pry their fingers loose from the steering wheel, nudge them out of the drivers seat, take control of the bus before they run it off a cliff, since WE ARE ALL ON THE BUS.
Temporarily, push them to the back of the bus, and bind them with belts and scarves, so they can’t do any more damage.
Later, when the bus reaches its destination, sure prosecute them for hijacking the bus, public endangerment, whatever.
But first, get control of the damn bus!
Yes, keep prosecuting their crimes! Victory is a ratchet, never give up an inch.

That is pretty funny, blocking the cops, two can play that game! Edmonton next, it just gets bigger and better by the day.
I found this among the comments at smalldeadanimals:
They have removed the freedomconvoy page from go fund me and are trying to figure out how to block the funds
It has been stated it’s on…., it’s off…. so many times, thought treepers here would like to know. A proton mail link is now being provided. I don’t know what’s real anymore.
That is a good picture comparison with Kenney, but he reminds me more of that slimey Klain.
Both perfectly suited to the used car sales force.
An agreement could be made. The truckers go home. Then soon after, a sudden reassessment of Covid numbers (intentionally manipulated) will be seen as a new emergency. As we know, numbers can be tweaked to show whatever they want to justify.
And the MSM will magnify it into more panic.
Thereby reinstating mandates and more. They will just say it’s another variant, or there is some other justification.
Promises mean nothing with these people.
No, the war must be won. Mandates are totally and permanently eliminated, with clauses stating they can never be implemented again for any reason, by acts of Parliament. Trudeau resigns or is removed by a vote of no confidence. THEN the truckers go home.
And the digital ID’s.
No government needs to have that much control over its populace.
Or blame the truckers.
Did you watch the 40 minute press conference, by the Convoy leaders?
The entire I.Q. of parliament isn’t half of one of these leaders, and there are 3 of them.
They ain’t STUPID, and the career politicians ARE.
Dutchman, I don’t think Matrix was implying the truckers are stupid. I believe he’s saying that politicians are downright evil and will not hesitate to renege on any agreement forged.
It’s an important distinction. Honorable people like the truckers and those supporting them, would not think of going back on a deal made. Politicians would do it every day of the week and twice on Sunday and never blink.
The truckers need to know they are dealing with the most dangerous snakes around and negotiate accordingly.
They Can’t Stop The Signal ………
not anymore
ALBERTA SCHOOL WIDE WALKOUT
End the mask mandates and all restrictions – Friday Feb. 4 ( Thurs if your district is off Friday )
Truth Needs A Soldier – @010Bravo
And according to the DeadAnimals blog- the group has had enough and has created another group to go shut down Edmonton in the same manner Ottowa is shutdown.
Nice video w/some excellent drone footage. It is so mind boggling to see Freedom in action. The one Trucker brought tears to my eyes.
Don t give up anything.Demand resignations from these corrupt ,power hungry so called leaders.Get behind Godly,honorable,moral,righteous,patriotic men and women across Canada,and get them elected.Change the course of the nation and others will follow.Psalm 68
Let God arise,
Let His enemies be scattered;
Let those also who hate Him flee before Him.

As smoke is driven away,
So drive them away;
As wax melts before the fire,
So let the wicked perish at the presence of God.

But let the righteous be glad;
Let them rejoice before God;
Yes, let them rejoice exceedingly.
Why have the bridges on the east side of Michigan (very important) not been blocked as well ?
Every single border crossing should be plugged because the Michigan bridges supply the auto industry who are exempt from the clot shot.
Ste. St. Marie was one of the crossings they wanted people to block. I think there were a lot of trucks going through one night, but haven’t heard anything since then.
Minnesota’s northern border is like swiss cheese, and our main crossing is like an outhouse next to the road. No action going on there.
The elitists have lived, for so long in an alternate world where whats important is not reality, but how they think they spin reality.
They just don’t GET it, that the World has moved on, that the power they THOUGHT they had, was never truly theirs, at all.
It was power by delegation; the People hold the power, and merely delegate it to the Pols, cause frankly we have better things to do.
Just as the pols delegatecthe shining of their shoes to the butler, the trimming of their lawns to the gardener, etc.
This is why they are described as the “servants of the People.
However, they got WAY to full of themselves, deluding themselves that THEY were the Masters, and we the slaves,..and now that the Master is reasserting himself, they are gobsmacked.
Wait until it crosses the border and we do this here, in the US. It’s coming. And, I think it will dwarf our Northern Patriots- not to out do them but because our citizens have the chance to watch it work…that emboldens people.
Coutts Border. It appears it might get bigger than Ottawa. More trucks coming in this weekend. One commenter said the cops are blocking some intersections and are monitoring gas stations, not letting Jerry cans be filled. Seems like a futile tactic, truckers run out of gas they can’t drive away? No?
They don’t know what to do, they’re grasping at straws. Cans can be filled anywhere. They are outnumbered and outmaneuvered, and they can’t win. The Canadian Truck Revolution will go down as one of the greatest revolutions of all time.
Agreed. I am loving every minute of it.
And, it’s expanding. It will spill over into the US over the next week. On Getter videos from Australia, Germany, France, and many other places- of trucks and farmers doing what the Canadians are doing. So much so in Nova Scotia they outlawed truck convoys
Nova Scotia Tyrants pass “law” banning Truck Convoys and their Supporters! – There Is No Pandemic
O’Toole & Fellow Travelers=Canuckleheads.
This guy is kinda interesting. He shows one of the parking lots w/the “cavalry” is waiting to go into the city. He mentions that they have agreed to curb the honking, at least at night. He has burnout but is dealing. It seems some people have been throwing eggs from the tops of the buildings down on the truckers, and some guys all in black are going around knocking on cab doors telling the Truckers the cops are coming.
I would bet that whoever planned this trucker protest has some serious military experience. They focused on organization, logistic support and reserves, in addition to just numerical superiority. Very impressive. They deserve medals when all is said and done.
Many vets drive trucks. Many including ex-officers.
The detailed planning for this among the truckers, with reserve trucks and replacement trucks and supplier trucks and secure communications and avoidance of unknown infiltrators is IMPRESSIVE.
Canada needs a Truckers Freedom Party
A ‘party’ often become$ , progresse$ to just that – a party.
( spend$ money, bends elbows…offers wooden nickels in return…repeat )
Meanwhile, others do the real good works…

“Conservative politics in Canada is even more slimy than GOP politics in the U.S.”
Ha! A battle of who’s the worst, most lying, conniving, slimy, traitorous, sinister, thieving, money-laundering useless shells of humanity?!
I’d put our GOPe up against the worst anywhere in this galaxy. Try and name a tea party candidate who stayed true to “We The People”, once elected.
No amount of observation or complaining will ever change a single thing. Offer an actionable path forward, and a meaningful movement can begin to coalesce. precinctstrategy seems like a pretty good start here in the states.
” Justin Trudeau makes stuff up for media stenographers to draw an alternate framework of reality”
he embellishes;
he ’embroiders’ ;
he exaggerates;
𝘷𝘪𝘻 he lies
Trudeau doesn’t know it now, but he’s going down. He needs to remove all mandates for truckers.
Like all voters everywhere, truckers are just plain tired of isolating, masking up and getting vaccinated.
It’s useless to vaccinate truckers, anyway. I can’t think of an occupation more isolated than over the road truck driving.
Meanwhile the Danes, Dutch, Norwegians and even the UK are removing most or all COVID restrictions including mask mandates and vaccine passports. Of particular note is the Danish government’s action given the way their police acted during the most recent COVID protests. Perhaps even the elites didn’t like their people being beaten on live TV?
Add Finland to the list. Hadn’t heard the Norwegians dumped Covid restrictions??
Covid DID NOT turn Canadian’s lives upside down and misery. Their spineless politicians did and they know this. The power lies within the governed who refuse to consent.
They don’t want us to know we have the power… It frightens them and makes them see the reality of their temporary power hanging by a thread.…
