Alberta provincial head Jason Kenney held a press briefing today attempting to give the impression that state vaccine mandates would be lifted. However, the truckers were smartly not hoodwinked by the highly political move and instead moved back into a hardened position to blockade the Coutts border crossing.
Holding a press conference to make his announcement [Full Video Here], premier Kenney said, “We cannot remain at a heightened state of emergency forever. We have to begin to heal, and so Alberta will move on. But we’ll do so carefully, we’ll do so prudently, we will do so only if it does not threaten the capacity of our healthcare system.” Kenney then outlined some softening to the covid restrictions.
Provincial rules that require students to wear masks in Alberta schools will end on Monday, and children under 12 won’t have to wear masks anywhere starting then.
Kenney stated a provincial work-from-home order will expire on March 1, along with the provincial mask mandate. At the same time, the limits on social gatherings and students being permitted to be in non-socially distanced proximity with other students in schools will be removed.
However, while Premier Kenny said the vaccine passports called ‘Restriction Exemption Program’ (REP) would be eliminated at midnight tonight, the QR codes check-in gates would continue; vaccine requirements will remain; vaccine discrimination can continue by private businesses with government support; govt healthcare workers must still be vaccinated or get fired; entertainment venues would be allowed to sell food & drinks again (but customers must be seated); and rules on closing times, alcohol service times, table capacity in restaurants, and social distancing would remain in place.
Most importantly, the trucker vaccine mandate is a federal mandate, and that will still apply to cross-border truckers. Put simply, a majority of the mandates would still continue through to March 1st, then even after March 1st, a lot of the mandates will remain.
After quietly and patiently listening to the entire statement from Jason Kenney until he was finished, the Alberta truck drivers responded immediately:
Brilliant!
The Alberta farmers moved their tractors back into front line status to position against any effort by RCMP to engage. The truckers moved the convoy back into full blockade position, and the Coutts border crossing was completely shut down.
The blockade will continue until the mandates are removed. To quote a famous saying:
Coutts border blockaders were not happy with the announcement by Jason Kenney today, updates sure to come soon.

Kenney just said we'll probably need to "take an annual Covid shot".
He's saying all this. An annual shot.
Holy shit.

Jason Kenney ends the province wide vaccine passport as of midnight tonight.
He is however keeping masks till March 1st.
If you're wondering how the Coutts truckers recieved this – they want ALL mandates gone. Even the arrows in grocery stores.

When the going gets tough the tough get going, right on truckers right on?
K T F (Keep The Faith)!
While I fully support the truckers is it having a REAL effect? Are stores shelves empty, gasoline lines forming? Until it interfers with the masses government will continue to MANDATE. That seems like what we have.
Is it having a REAL effect?
Of course, worldwide as a matter of fact.
They’re having a measured effect. The time is coming.
The public pressure is mounting. The truckers ARE having an effect.
Stay positive.
RIGHT ON 👊👊👊✝️
The govt pressure is mounting also.
A little pain for FREEDOM
Think of all the sacrifices our Fathers and Grandfathers made in WW1 and WW2 .
God Bless the Canadian Truckers Farmers Freedom Convoy ✝️👊👊👊
AMEN Steven Kerr! Imagine the gut feel of those Colonists hiding under the bridge at Concord! How those troops felt that volunteered to cross the icy river with Gen Washington, jump out of a landing craft at Omaha Beach, chopper into Khe Sanh, walk the alleys of Fallujah, guard the gates in Kabul, etc. We didn’t build, defend and conserve these United States of America WITH political “leadership”, but IN SPITE of political “leadership”. It appears the politicians of Canada are no better than everybody else’s.
Even a blind person can see there is a well planned conspiracy.
Your inspiring words brought tears. Thank you!
No, dual citizen here, Canada is decidedly worse….
Until this past year?
Except the enemy now is our own government!
I love my country, but I despise my government. However, it wasn’t always that way. It was learned behavior. Fool me once, shame on you. Fool me twice, shame on me.
We are in a Long War against evil. It’s not about emptying store shelves but emptying support among the peoples for the legitimacy of the transnational oligarchy to rule over us.
AMEN.
Tens of thousands (or more) of trucks around the world are protesting, or parked somewhere. Unless you believe that these trucks were also sitting empty before the protests started, then obviously it’s having an effect. Cities centers are not known for lots of grocery stores. But every restaurant or cafe gets deliveries almost on a daily basis. That’s not happening now. Offices don’t get as many deliveries of office supplies, but I can tell you that UPS, FEDEX, Staples, etc. used to be at my LA office building every day. Those deliveries aren’t happening in Ottawa now. Yes, it’s having an effect, and short of all out violence I’m not sure what else they can do to get their freedom back.
Honk more and louder!
Do you expect the propaganda machine to announce the shelves are bare? These guys are in for the long haul (forgive the pun). One Russian immigrant trucker said he will stay until mandates are lifted and then two days more. To government people ANY disrespect or disruption is unacceptable. They are narcissistic and proud and piddly butted truckers in their roads and under their windows IS hurting them.
Truckers aren’t trying to hurt us, they are taking the fight to government.
Perhaps for now, but be prepared.
It remains still, that the very large majority of natural slaves fiercely defend their Owners because they live content in the graces of tyrants. They will not fight for freedom nor even be concerned with it. They will only turn on them when deprived their food and their comforts – when their sense of safety proves an illusion.
Sad but true.
“…natural slaves fiercely defend their Owners…”
Excellent description of leftists, communists, socialists and Karens.
Amen to that.
Like slaves in the US during 1866? Fiercely defending their owners does not come to mind.
I wrote “natural slaves”. You can find it in the work of that Plato guy – A couple of millennium earlier.
Excellent point sDee. In Rome, there were major domo slaves, who despite not being freemen, were nevertheless put in charge of their masters’ households and enjoyed lifestyles that were preferable to those of many freemen. In the Middle East, court eunuchs were administratively and politically powerful. They were sterilized to prevent them from scheming to establish their sons as potential usurpers of the throne. Privileged slaves are generally quite happy with the status quo.
They may not have been “natural” slaves like the brainwashed left.
Remember, however: studies have shown that for a revolution to be successful, only 10-12% of the population has to be all-in.
Our American Revolution had an estimated 8-10% of the population giving money, aid, supplies, their men as soldiers.
I also like to think that God in His Heaven likes those odds: whatever we lack, He more than makes up for.
Courage: we don’t need 50% + 1. In the battle against good and evil, we are not entirely bound by earthly calculations.
There are stories in the Bible of God telling his leaders to actually thin out their ranks so that when the victory comes, it is from God – not from man.
What a wonderful way to put it! God has no bounds, and He tells us many times-He hates evil!
But, but, but they have “unacceptable views”! OMG!
Govt doesnt care if the shelves are empty. They were pushing empty shelves before the convoy. They will be elated when the job is done, and if there are any complaints, they will publically blame the truckers. Both the public AND the govt will point fingers.
It took the better part of seven years for The American Revolution to culminate into the 1776 Declaration of Independence,
We can do that the same thing again.
The innovators are followed by the early adopters. They beget the majority. (Malcolm Gladwell)
Even the well-known successful blockade of a border crossing is a psychological blow to their smugness and hubris. It shows blowback they don’t know what to do with.
They haven’t begun to fight. They have galvanized not only the Canadians but people around the world.
Brian Denison Address To Police Officers | Freedom Convoy Feb.8, 2022 #irnieracingNews
Premiered 3 hours ago
God speed Brian
Thank you dear Lord for brave men who speak the truth.
This is what the Church is .
Do you know who loves a Police State? Police love to be feared and to be top dog.
Police love a Police State.
No matter the walk of life, we were born innately either freemen or natural slaves. Whether it be the greed of a CEO of the drug company, the physician who gives the injections or withholds care, the banker who controls the monies, or the parent who stands aside as their child is masked and injected.
What is the soul of a man who follows orders against humanity ?
No different for those who chose the path of law enforcement. In what’s coming, they will sort themselves out just as the rest of us are doing each day.
Then they should keep reading.. History tells us when Police States end, it usually doesn’t end well for them.
Great video!!
Trudeau and this guy are making Canadian politicians look squirrelly.
They wish to save face by outsmarting the truckers.
They can try but they should always remember, trucker protest is better than trucker strike.
…who passed and left him in charge of the “annual shot” BS…..Get lost
Because government is taxpayer funded, all of the Covid shutdowns were meaningless to gov. workers. They were just fine.
Now in a blockade, they are feeling what billions of people around the world have known.
Using Farm tractors instead of trucks is a great idea. They are huge and are not working the fields in January.
Farming is boring in January. Feeding cattle, mucking manure. Now they are dealing with BS of another type This livens things up a quite a bit!
God love these truckers!
YES!!!!!
They think we are stupid. They’ve always thought that. They have no idea.
KEEP GOING TRUCKERS!!
I grew up on a farm and my grandpa and dad worked in factory and foundry. I moved into white collar world and people here are so useless at everyday things! My menfolk could weld, plumb, wire homes, fix cars or animals. Women right there with them or in garden or house or taking care of animals or kids.
I was insulted when my husband said I cooked as well as a restaurant. Ha! Nobody I knew went there for GOOD food! Best food was made at home.
I am still dumbfounded at the attitude towards blue collar people; not everyone is good with books or has money for college. But many are smarter than idiots who cheated their way through four years and got that degree. More better, they are used to circumventing rules that hurt us.
The one thing that makes me not want to go back home is their propensity to solve things with action over words. I love my cousins but I don’t want to live with them.
Now Ottawa gets to live with people pushed to fight. Good luck bc my smarty pants relatives are dead even at chess with my smarty pants advanced degree husband. Education don’t mean brain power pencil neck. And I have seen tenderness on cousins’ faces when holding their children; this isn’t a game. This is life and all day, every day, life is a fight in blue collar world.
Some of the smartest people I have known did not have advanced degrees.
My wife’s grandfather made it through 6th grade.
Then went on to be lead builder at Oak Ridge during the war.
After the war he came to Southern Michigan and built hundreds of houses in working class neighborhoods of Jackson, Battle Creek and Kalamazoo.
well and wonderfully said
thank you pepper
My husband used to be the VP of a medium sized manufacturing company in the Twin Cities. He worked his way up to second in charge from lowly stock clerk, with no degree.
Needing to hire a new estimator — someone who could figure out exactly how much each widget would cost — my husband created what he thought was a simple math test each applicant would have to take.
Three people with advanced math degrees applied. Three people with math degrees all failed the simple math test — miserably.
Common sense guy with basic math skills got the job.
Anyone who looks down their nose at blue collar folks should be forced to binge-watch Dirty Jobs with Mike Rowe. They will quickly learn who REALLY makes this country work. Hint: it ain’t smooth-talking politicians.
But u need a degree to work at Starfu<ks.
I love the man who can be both blue and white collar like my dad. I married a blue collar. He’s handy as heck. I like toxic masculinity.
Jason “Lyin’ Kenney” promised in 2021 that Alberta wouldn’t have passports. His word means nothing.
Exactly. They are all paid to make sure it happens. We’ve seen these dirtbag politicians flip flop so many times, their words mean nothing to us. Put it onto a legal contract, enact into law so there is legal recourse. We weren’t born yesterday.
This is a zero sum game at this point. If we win there will be Nuremberg trials and they know it. They have crossed the Rubicon, they have passed the point of no return. I just heard 4,000 cops in Los Angeles will be fired for being unvaccinated. What needs to happen is the cops grab the chief and anyone else involved and throw them in jail. Form a citizen grand jury and bring these scumbags up on criminal charges. This needs to happen nationwide otherwise this country will be FUBAR. People need to wake up and realize things are only going to get worse. The dictators are not going to give up their power. They will cheat the midterm elections. They will not allow fair elections ever again. These scumbags are already talking about shredding the First Amendment because of “Misinformation.” Anything other than the official narrative will be criminalized if they get their way and no one seems to be stopping these power hungry lunatics.
This Ministry of Truth thing is extremely disconcerting. Can’t trust any info anymore. Unsafe.
HOLD THE LINE TRUCKERS AND FARMERS
UNTIL ALL THE MINDLESS TYRANNICAL MANDATES ARE FULLY RESCINDED
WE THE PEOPLE ARE WITH Y’ALL TILL THE END OF THE MINDLESS MRNA MANDATES.
A short term hit to the supply chain is well worth achieving freedom in the long run.
Sadly, the premier is showing himself to be Canada’s Mitt Romney. After the reformation and victory of a federal Conservative Party in Alberta, and the emergence and victory of the United Conservatives in the province, there was hope that a real conservative movement supportive of personal and economic liberty could emerge from the long-dead “Progressive Conservative” party. That hope is now being disappointed, in Alberta and in the other provinces led by small-c conservatives. With statists and elitists like this, Canada does not even need their Liberals and socialists.
Schwab said words to the effect that the WEF “owned half of Canada’s congress,” definitely owns Trudeau, a grad of his WEF School for Scoundrels.
Consider all the sacrifices others made in the past to fight oppression- revolutionary war, invasion of Normandy etc. People gave their lives and sacrificed their property and wealth to fight oppression. Putting up with a little inconvenience in the supply chain pales in comparison to the sacrifice those people made.
Consider the fate of some of those who signed the Declaration of Independence: NINE died of wounds during the Revolutionary War; FIVE were captured or imprisoned; TWELVE signers’ houses were burned to the ground; SEVENTEEN lost everything they owned. MANY had wives and children who were killed, jailed, mistreated and/or left penniless.
And remember the words of John Adams: “Posterity! You will never know how much it cost the present generation to preserve your freedom! I hope you will make good use of it. If you do not, I shall repent in Heaven that I ever took half the pains to preserve it.” (emphasis mine)
All this insanity and tyranny for a virus with a 99 percent survival rate. No one would put up with this nonsense for the common cold or the flu.
Covid and the ensuing fear porn was all preplanned. 15 minutes after Covid was “discovered” the dems were foaming at the mouth for nationwide mail-in voting. Oh yeah, just a coincidence…
Just shows the power the media has over the population.
True
God bless the truckers.
Now if they did the same thing in all the US cities wanting to see covid papers, that would put gov overreach in its place.
Cops with few exceptions worldwide have sadly proven they are just lackeys of their political masters who will follow any order given to them no matter how illegal or immoral. They justify it with its my job or I’m only following orders. Those excuses didn’t work at Nuremberg. Blindly backing the blue is for fools. Cops must earn the support and respect of the citizens. If cops blindly carry out orders from evil people in power then they become an accomplice to evil.
“Just following orders” is not a legitimate excuse or justification when those orders are in violation of the law.
You have orders from headquarters and you have real state and federal laws
that have been passed legitimately by legal legislation.
They are absolutely two different things.
Police officers are required to follow the law.
Orders can not be valid if they break the law.
Who is the dummy that doesn’t understand this ??
Unfortunenately, there are many.
Seems the only way there will be a Nuremberg 2.0 is if we go full 1776. Europe was in ruins before those criminals were prosecuted. These are the kind of fanatical lunatics we are dealing with. These idiots are even talking about nuclear war with Russia. We are not dealing with rational people. The Libs and RINOs are today’s modern day Nazis.
And we are gradually federalizing our police.
Canadian news is so much better and hopeful to see than American news!
Continued prayers and blessings for them all.
God blessed them with DISCERNMENT. And they saw thru the lies!!!
🇺🇸💖🇨🇦
The scum are backtracking and starting to cave like the maggots that they are….do not relent, keep the pressure at a fevered pitch, and hold them accountable for the chaos they have created themselves.
I wish that the truckers ask for in addition to ending all Covid restrictions is to end the buy back program for guns. There is a gun amnesty until April, 2022 for possession of certain firearms, after which the government will be buying back all AR15’s and a group of other listed guns.
It’s not nearly as important as the end to Covid restrictions and vaccine passports, but……
https://www.lifesitenews.com/news/governor-general-of-canada-affirms-in-throne-speech-trudeaus-plan-to-confiscate-firearms/
Justeen plans to confiscate firearms?! I’d say that may be more important than wuflu restrictions!
Maybe the demons are holding off removing all the trucks, knowing this “shiny thing” is keeping the people from paying attention to gun confiscations soon to come.
Seems their desire is to always do evil.
Our 2nd amendment is the only thing that protects the rest of our constitution.
The world is watching (and supporting) the Canadian truckers asking for freedom.
Top Canadian politicians, caring about nothing but power and control over the people, have spoken with denigrating, insulting, lying and menacing language.
The focus is now on the Canadian military and police. Will they act as thugs or patriots? Their final action will say more than words can say. The world is watching …
We have already seen how the military abused and octagenarian for asking for freedom. Will they double up on stupid?
The freaky Left are on the run… Panic is their direction…
Man, am I embarrassed…
I have been calling Kenney a f*cking pr*ck and a pile of crap, only to fall for a fake ‘flourish” from Kenney lifting the vaccine mandates. Against my better judgement, last night I thought he was finally doing the right thing for Albertans and Canadians… only to wake up to find Kenney was still a f*cking pr*ck.
I guess a politician doesn’t change their racing stripes if they don’t change their shorts.
He sold his soul long time ago which professional politician hasn’t, maybe a few ????
Corruption at the top, is the fastest way to the bottom…
Great !!
the truckers can stay right where they’re at with 7million and growing,
I love it!
I worked for a large Canadian company for 18 years then retired. I loved them then but now I see how amazing they really are. God bless the Canadians.
What’s wrong with all the politicians that don’t believe in science other than they don’t believe in science? They are all about power and control. They didn’t think the working class people had a brain in their bodies?
HONK!
It looks like people are taking truckers into their homes, when needed:
Pie anyone?
We are many, they are few…and we have the truckers on our side.
And the farmers! Farm machinery nowadays is HUGE! Bigger than anything I grew up with on a farm in rural MN in the 70’s and 80’s.
Glad the farmers are showing up. God bless all of you!
Kepp on NOT Truckin’!
EU Parliamentarians are expressing admiration for Canadian truckers.
“Non–violent disruptive resistance works.” Like it or not, the Canadian government is going to be forced to listen to their citizens’ grievances and to give way. Trudeau’s political career is finished. For him, it’s hopeless now.
My sister and I donated this morning.
Try to arrest us Trudeau/Biden.
I donated for the first time this morning too. Was waiting for other options besides GoFundMe…,.,.
Great quote from Emerson. Got to remember that one.
These guys know how to circle the wagons. When the RCMP starts shooting, will they shoot back?
If the RCMP “starts shooting” it’ll their last miserable act, and they will pay. The world is watching.
By the way, who pays the RCMP salaries and benefits?
I was cruising through twitter and found this. It looks like running a leadership campaign in the middle of a truckers protest is not a good idea. Rather than staying focused on the truckers convoy, we are starting to get political positioning regards to who is the truckers best friend. This is frickin’ stupid… Show some leadership and stop this crap.

Hahaha. The non producing class are starting to realize they can’t survive without the producing class functioning. This reality should forever more be applied to all government overreach. Thank you Truckers. From here forward, your title should be capitalized. Your are the backbone of our economy and should be treated as such.
Are the French mobilizing? Here is a tweet about a truckers convoy from Nice to Paris…
It looks like the Truckers Convoy is building a new base camp in the parking lot of the CBC:
Are you interested in buying a sauna used at the Freedom Convoy? I’m sure you could get some documentation that these saunas were at Ottawa.
That worm could not buck the Canadian Prime Minister. In a Provincial system the Provinces only have administrative powers given to them by the only real government, which is located in Ottawa. The people of Canada are well informed about this arrangement and would not be fooled but the edicts of any Provincial CEO.
Here is a good interview from NewsMax:
Here is some good video from Southern France. They have nice weather…
The Archbishop of Italy has announced his support of the Canadian truckers and in doing so had a warning. He said this struggle was about something bigger than a vaccine mandate. It is a struggle against the globalists of the New World Order and Build Back Better who want to control not just one country’s people but everyone in every country. He said, “Demonstrate for your rights, Canadian friends: but may these rights not be limited to a simple claim to the freedom to enter supermarkets or not to be vaccinated: may it also be a proud and courageous claim to your sacrosanct right to be free men. Italy’s Archbishop Carlos Maria Vigano Endorses the Canadian Truck Drivers Against the New World Order (VIDEO and Transcript) (thegatewaypundit.com)
It seems some people are upset with the Ottawa Police Union leadership:
What a sissy weasel this guy is – you can tell just by looking at the little wimp.
