Tow trucks from Michigan have been sent to assist Ontario police and Canadian federal law enforcement to remove the Freedom Protestors and truckers from the Ambassador bridge at the border crossing between Canada and the U.S.A.
Yesterday, Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau and U.S. President Joe Biden held a phone call to discuss the collaboration of U.S. and Canadian federal law enforcement as well as joint intelligence agencies to remove any blockades at the border crossing points. Michigan Governor Gretchen Whitmer also told media she would assist the Canadian government effort.
As local, regional and federal law enforcement on both sides of the border begin to confront the blockades, it appears they are sharing resources. Previously, Canadian tow trucks refused to cooperate against their own citizens in protest. It appears that Michigan tow trucks are willing to do the dirty work. However, the initial tow companies pictured can only move regular passenger vehicles and pick-up trucks, like those driven by supporters of the truckers.
Police arrived shortly after dawn this morning to clear the protest group who spent the night at the busiest crossing between the United States and Canada and enforce a court order issued yesterday. “The Windsor Police & its policing partners have commenced enforcement at and near the Ambassador Bridge. We urge all demonstrators to act lawfully & peacefully. Commuters are still being asked to avoid the areas affected by the demonstrations at this time,” police tweeted.
Global News journalists reported, “police in black uniforms with yellow vests were seen moving behind the protesters’ cars on the bridge. Tactical teams and snipers were also present.” CTV News Windsor’s Michelle Maluske reported from the scene that some protesters had begun to pack up and leave ahead of police moving in to enforce a court injunction, while others remain defiant in the face of fines and jail time.
CANADA – Police have moved in to break up a days-long protest at the Ambassador Bridge in Windsor, Ont., where vehicles have been blocking traffic on the crucial border crossing into the U.S.
“We urge all demonstrators to act lawfully and peacefully,” Windsor police said in a tweet as officers started to move in with other law enforcement at about 8:30 a.m. on Saturday.
They also advised people to stay away from the area.
While some protesters left immediately, a handful remained as of 10 a.m. Police formed a line and were steadily pushing back the demonstrators, some of whom were shouting “shame,” “freedom” and “you’re on the wrong side.” (read more)

The CBC wants safe environment from which to report the news. The management within CBC could rotate reporter assignments so the difficult areas are covered by professionals.

From the article:
‘How long would you last in a job where angry, expletive-laced insults and threats were an almost daily reality?’
Oh 😭😭😭😭😭😭 !
Like there are absolutely no other jobs were you have to deal with @ssholes. 🙄
Tokyo Rose speaks Canuck!
Where exactly are the difficult areas?
Tell them to climb up on the nearest roof like the other ones did.
Keep in mind, semis get towed only when THEY WANT to be towed. Nobody is going to be able to tow a well positioned semi.
Several Treepers have commented that it’s not semis that are there, but smaller vehicles. I have no way to vet any of the accuracy of the information coming out at this point. I’m hoping Sundance will write an update piece later.
It’s citizens on foot with personal vehicles nearby, per the stream that got cut a 1/2 hour ago. The truckers left hours ago. I’d guess the authorities will wait ’til late in the night tonight when the wind chill will be about 0F and then open the bridge, arresting and towing anybody in the right of way.
Now if there’s 4,000 people in the r.o.w. at 4am tomorrow, that strategy won’t work.
It looks like Manitoba is following Saskatchewan’s lead.

Police in Paris use tear gas, break car windows, drag protestors out of their cars, beat them with batons, kick them, etc.

They tear gassed an outdoor restaurant w/ kids in it earlier.
That’s the kind of stuff that draws in new supporters.
But you gotta trust the police all over. right? right?
Canada has shut down the Coutts border crossing.

Someone who KNOWS the constitution and how it gives us power.
She’s a powerful speaker.
“They stopped teaching your children years ago. You just didn’t know.” YUP. That is the biggest mistake the tyrants made in their plandemic. They brought the classrooms into the homes and parents began seeing the propaganda their children were being subjected too. Finally parents got an answer to the question “what did we do wrong”? They could not understand how despite all their efforts to raise their children right those children started hating them and everything they stood for. The plandemic showed them.
“Know who you are and whose you are!” Amen sister.
the image depicts non-commercial, non-tractor trailer towing capability. not trying to nitpick, but hauling big boy trucks is happening w/these type towing machines.
I will assume there are other towers capable, but IN FACT the volume of big boy trucks at this border bridge and beyond would require at least 250 such big boy towers working 24/7 for at least a month.
In the meantime, prediction: more will join in the party and overwhelm any possible response.
Go Canada. The world is watching.
You are doing well
keep it up.
the state WILL BREAK.
big auto unions and their billionaire globalists cannot afford to not get paid.
THAT makes a difference
Am watching a “split feed” and it began showing a meeting in which the Attornry general was making allegations of inappropriate interference by Justin in a prosecution.
This MAY be like how they got Cuomo out; ignored his killing people in nursing homes, charge him for sex harrasment, so that THAT is the reason he resigns,…then drop any prosecution the sex harrasment.
So, the narrative will be JT resigning cause of this corruption scandal, and then later the prosecution will be dropped.
If so, predictable and it means they are moving Justin out, and are going to try to do the “same old whine, in a brand new bottle”; they still don’t realise they are IRRELEVANT.
The people are dancing in the streets, but NOT because of this b.s., of which they are unaware.
Trudeau has fallen out of favor with the “Lef”…
MSM news reporting the protesters are urinating/defecating on war memorial, even as livestreams show protesters cleaning up ice and snow, and putting down salt, around the memorial.
“Reporting”? If they don’t even have Antifa volunteers in skinny jeans, blue hair, and several pounds of metal in their face doing it on camera, they’re even more into Fake News territory than usual.
They’ve been spreading those lies since the middle of last week.
They can “report” twinkle sock’s talking point all they want. We all know the people participating the freedom movement are not degenerates who go around desecrating anything let alone war memorials. We know truckers are not the people who spit on soldiers.
Tell ’em to post a live feed of one of these acts of desecration. Just one. And not some person dressed from head to toe in black either. We know who those “people” are…
Yes, and they had to lay down their nazi and confederate flags to pee
I would bet any tow companies from Michigan that help Canada were offered large sums of money to do so.
Those that foolishly believe the tyrants may be surprised when they don’t get paid.
Government lies , incompetence , and changing terms will get them in the end. ( Idiots )
” I am altering the deal , pray I don’t alter further ” – D. Vader
Exactly 💯
Great 👍 reminder
I’ll bet they were told nothing, and just answered the phone. They may have suspected, but if the fee was agreed, they’d send the trucks.
“may be surprised when they don’t get paid”
What leads you to suspect the Michigan towing companies won’t get paid, Hank?
Gummint has plenty of YOUR tax money with which to pay them
What’s to stop them?
What would Dagny Taggart do?
Started reading it again last night. Great book.
These days, it doesn’t even matter if they run out of ink. They’ll just pay ‘em with digital dollars.
Looks like American truckers have blockaded the Port Huron Bridge to Ontario on the American side so those tow trucks from Michigan are going to be really busy!
“self-towing”?
I don’t believe that at all. The Teamsters Union wouldn’t allow it
There are not many drivers who believe to the teamsters anymore unless they work for the auto manufacturers.
Most of them would love to see the bridges shut down because then they do what they do best.
Get paid to do nothing
Like the D.C. “Chamber of Commerce” representing Main St. businesses.
UPS is TEAMSTERS!
and they are stuck on the Canadian side? no “in my own bed tonite” for you.
30 pieces of silver
People should sneak in and give attention to their tires, and put certain additives in their gas tanks. Ruin their traitor tow trucks.
Might even think about some snipers ourselves.
As Andrew said, “WAR”!
Those tires are dangerous to mess with. Don’t do it.
This! These are not your cars tires. Tow tires generally run around 100psi or higher and they are sometimes ‘split-rims’ which are sketchy to begin with.
You are advocating destructive criminal acts here and I cannot adequately tell you how offensive and out of place I think that is.
Anyone paying attention knows and respects the Truckers, who have made it clear every minute of this demonstration is peaceful and law abiding.
Your post violates every moral and ethical principle expressed and demonstrated by the leadership and participants of the convoy.
Do not! DO NOT! do or advise violence. We are not the left!
If they have government contracts, like with DOT, etc in their states, then things would go as usual for those contracts. Of course, those contracts are the carrot and the stick if any companies get ideas about pushing back and slow walking response. They can claim all the trucks are committed.
Independents can always require show money; payment in advance to show up on site. That’s one way to push back. Government rarely does business that way. It’s completely legal to require show money in advance. Goes on in business all the time. All part of arm’s length business dealings in a free country.
Hello from Michigan. Sometimes known as Mongolia.
We have been taking note of the tow companies involved
You should call them and express your dismay and how you will choose never to use them again.
Maybe people should perform a BLM type of protest on these companies.
Maybe not.
Furthermore, maybe we oughtn’t speak thusly on CTH.
‘Specially when we’ve been asked not too.
I don’t think that is “our” style . . .
these Canadian truckers are doing the “Velvet Revolution” style , I would say –
I would not want to – in the name of supporting them – not be consistent with their modus operandi.
Praying continuously for miracles . . .
dear God, that Justin Trudeau will see, in an epiphany not at all anticipated . . .
that the sharks over at Davos are not doing him or Canada any good and he realizes that they intend to replace him once they determine he has expended his usefulness . . .
and he spurns them all and turns to the people of Canada and announces for all to hear:
“Yes, to the people of the Trucker Freedom Convoy and all Canadians who support them, I am now right this minute announcing that all mandates regarding vaccines, masks, freedom of movement, threats of losing jobs, income, property, not being able to attend school, concerts or sporting events, shop at stores or dine in restaurants, and last but not least, being prohibited from participating in fellowship in worship is now OVER.
I have to honestly acknowledge that this is what must be done.
Furthermore, I am going to ask that Parliament name a caretaker Prime Minister to serve for the rest of my term until the next election. In addition to that, I have prepared and signed an additional executive order which shall prohibit the use of Dominion and other ancillary vote-counting procedures that enabled me to continue in office as your Prime Minister with only 30% of the votes. This was not right and I know that. In our great nation which has been able to conduct elections across our far-flung spaces, with less than thirty million people, I do not think using these systems which disenfranchise Canadian citizens comports with our history and ability to count votes for so many years.
So, with these two Executive Orders which I have prepared and show to you now . . . in the manner of my counterpart, Donald J. Trump, with my signature. I have also e-mailed the text of this speech I am giving to you now and the text of the executive orders to the e-mail addresses I have of the leaders of the Trucker Freedom Convoy as well as to all Members of Parliament.
You will see that this is finally my response to the Truckers and all Canadians and – as well – to leaders and citizens of other countries who have been watching what has been happening here in Canada.
All of you make me proud, actually, for how you conducted yourselves and I am ashamed for myself.
I hope that this will go in some way to make amends to you.
I offer you my deepest apologies for the ordeal of the past two years.
I will be glad to meet with you as well, when we all know as Canadians that these things are in place and my successor has been sworn into office and it will not just be myself, meeting with you, but I hope Parliament as well, to express appreciation for the way that you have conducted this and what you have achieved, that should make all Canadians proud, as an example to the world.
I am not an especially religious person and I have neglected in my life availing myself of the comfort and wisdom that reading the Bible would afford me. A friend of mine always says he prays for me and always recommends that I read Isaiah, Chapter 58. So, I finally did. And the part that spoke to me is where it says, “and you shall be like a watered garden, whose waters do not fail” – that is YOU, Canada.”
Trudeau is a sociopath, has no empathy. Runs and hides out but threatens Truckers.
Would a subsequent hari kari be okay, or do we have to take the high road here?
😉
No they most certainly should not and NOBODY shoul be posting such idiocy here.
I’ve been reading here since 2012. Are you a new moderator?
So have I, and I hope we’ll all get to do so to for another decade at least, which we won’t if the Tree becomes a target again because of unwise posts that advocate the criminal destruction of property.
And no, as you know, I’m not a moderator, but I do wonder why you ask.
And maybe you should go back to your lefty websites. And take your 11 co-conspirators with you.
I agree with you, 1stGoblyn.
Upper and Lower?
Good for you. Call your sura cell company and get them taken off the list of road repair companies for your insurance to use. Put them on a blacklist. Comment on Yelp.
Go to Nextdoor, and ruin their reputation. Tell your Elks, Rotary, etc club, and get them run out the club.
Make them a pariah in your town.
Big hope: Michigan tow trucks drive up and become part of the Canadian Truckers Convoy.
Thats a big, beautiful hope!
Or at least that they suddenly all develop COVID.
Yes shut the traitors down
Note of what? That they’ve reportedly towed only one vehicle at the owner’s request?
I’ve seen many posts on this thread directing a lot of negativity onto these towing businesses, apparently based on nothing more than some headlines and pictures.
It’s surprising to see this on CTH pages.
keep fighting canadians, around the world stand with you,
I read all the comments about towing companies, snipers , military style police etc…
What did You think was going to happen. Occupy Ottawa who cares they beat their chest huffed and puffed did nothing about it. But let Ford and GM run low of parts see what happens.
Money talks especially to politicians.
All true, now what do the money guys do if this all happens again in a few weeks?
They are bitchin already.
Run out of parts….like computer chips?
🙂
If this keeps up we’ll need to import a bunch of Cuban mechanics. ; )
Take out the tow TRUCKS.
Two words:
snipers
test
Sniper range limited, they have to take the trucks further than their rifles can kill.
One word:
pray

Update on Ambassador Bridge… No Movement.
New border blockade is up – Pacific Hwy. , Surrey , B.C.
” Freedom Is Relentless ”
R/T by @JoeDanMedia ( Intellectual Froglegs )
It you take stock of government actions today… they lost big time. They went for the intimidation mode, only to be pushed back by the citizens. I think the massive numbers protesting throughout Europe really caused a pause in thought. Turdeau has created a massive problem for other countries’ tyrannies.
Tomorrow will be even worse for them. Shortly, I expect word that the mandates are gone…
Just came back from the Pacific Hwy.
Epic scenes..horseback riders. Massive, massive numbers.
We ( the Bichon and I ) had to park a couple of miles away and walked to the border.
I chatted to emotional Poles, Croatians, Sikhs, and on the way back to the car walking a country usually quiet back road.
A lady ( my age 60’s) walked towards me crying
I gently acknowledged her asked if I could help.
She said “ no, I am just so happy to see so many people here”
She was Estonian and understands what’s going on.
Cheers!
Dekester
I am down by Tacoma and had thought to plan a trip north to Blaine.
Are there people on the US side or only Canada?
I’ll try and give you a wave😉
No vax or vax pass so can’t get to your side.
Oops. I was out taking in the sites!
Awesome out here.
Fireworks now.
Thanks but your thoughts are good enough and much appreciated.
Cheers!
I wonder if she was on the highway when they formed a human chain to close down the highway between the countries?
Wasn’t that at the Coutts border protest? Or did they do it at more than one site? The protestors linked arms and sang “Oh, Canada.” A beautiful site even if most of the singers were off-key and hurt my ears. LOL
God bless you, Dekester. I cannot even go to my home state (Washington) and join my children, friends or relatives for a meal in a restaurant or to attend any event, because I wisely choose to be unvaccinated. I can only see them if I invite them to my island home there.
Because of the draconian, unscientific government mandates handed down by the despotic governor, and widespread brainwashing (and, no doubt, anxiety and remorse) of too many “woke” inhabitants of Western Washington, I choose to spend as little time there as possible.
Prayers for you and all brave Canadians – may you be the spark that lights a fire of freedom throughout the world!
Then those in Wash state should be protesting those draconian rules like the Canadians, no?
Thank you!
Rumour has it that the Canadian Parliament is having a vote to eliminate all mandates and vaccine passports this Monday.
( Valentines Day ❤️)
If true, and vote takes place. My money is on the B.S. ending.
Cheers!
Dekester so love your description …same high emotion on parliament hill in ottawa today. Also twice as many people showed up to support ….just massive numbers! Smiles, singing, hugs and enthusiasm from everyone!
Wow, the comments under this report are brutal. Fake posters? They all want the protesters arrested. Seems a little made up if you ask me. Twitter is just terrible
The way you write this, it sounds like you have given up. If that is the case, then step aside and let others fight.
I firmly believe that we can win this, all over the world. It took us decades to notice (in big enough numbers, at least). But now that enough people are awake, we are starting to fight back. We have the numbers and the skills. And we have only just begun.
Based on History, we WILL win this. And the victory will be epic and glorious, tho the path not easy.
…And we will keep on WINNING…
… till you say:
“Pleeeze, Mr. President!
I’m so TIRED of winning…”
I read that a survey says 56% of Canadians do not support the truckers. I think that is a false poll.
Ha! They probably took the poll in a downtown Ottawa residential area and only asked the people who had complained of the truckers’ honking. It’s what they do.
Two words: General Strike!
AGREE
nationwide… all businesses and industries. iirc it worked in Eastern Europe a few decades ago

Fox2Detroit is broadcasting live at the Bridge again. Windsor towing companies all told the honorables to piss off when they called apparently, thus the US companies were called.
The optics from Ambassador Bridge right now are just stunning.
Armed troops complete with a machine gun equipped APC on one side and civilians with family standing quietly on the other. I saw one family with a mom pushing a stroller and a teen girl carrying a Canadian flag.
The Canadian government better pray that no protester so much as stubs a toe.
So…the bridge is clearing and trucks are leaving? That’s the end?
For this round, probably.
If the mandates continue, and especially if the fascist politicians go violent, we may be back here fairly soon.
In the last stream I watched, heavy equipment was being used to move in concrete barriers. There were lots of vehicles on the highway, but I have no idea whether they were part of the protest.
They won’t use thé machine gun. It’s all for show, as despicable as it is. THAT is full blown NAZI.
Intimidation tactic. Put the fear of the government in the protestors.
Where are the live streams?
https://rumble.com/vurb58-feb-12-live-from-ottawas-freedom-convoy-viva-frei-freedom-walks.html?mref=71v3
I found one that is on-site at the Washington-British Columbia border…
Is that Surrey or Ottawa?
Looks like Ottawa?
Surrey
Oh how weird. The vid – when I pressed it an hour ago was Ottawa.
Now it’s back to B.C.
Hope it stays there!
In the meantime, I found a couple Surrey vids, below.
This streamer also re-streams screen-shared streams from different locations, like the Ambassador Bridge and Ottawa. Now the streamer is back to restreaming. However, the video I linked is now stored, about one hour twenty minutes worth at the Surrey crossing
This is live feed from Ottawa. There is a party atmosphere, with a bandstand, live band, people walking around, laughing and dancing.

Thank you kinthenorthwest :~)
I find it very interesting that we hear twinkle socks and the rest of the tyrants proclaim that the residents of Ottawa are under siege, and they “don’t support this” and yada yada. Yet every time I see a resident from Ottawa actually speak to a journalist or go out to parliament hill, they talk about how the truckers are nice, and loving and welcoming.
The left lies. They HAVE TO lie. They ALWAYS lie.
Hey! Only Twinkle Socks can put Canadians under siege, close down the Canadian economy, shutter businesses, create massive unemployment and foreclosures! Who do these truckers think they are?
To paraphrase the silly mayor of Seattle, it’s like a block party, a winter of love.
I’m watching the raw feed from Ottawa on youtube. Everyone is happy, party atmosphere with band and singing. But interspersed with that are cries of Freedom. Makes the heart glad.
and Viva Frei showed that any restaurant or business in that area of Ottawa who stayed open (and defied the must have a passport edict) is booming with business. The demonstrators are even cleaning the restrooms for them.
I have vague recollections of this, powerful stuff. Go Canada!

Been dropping in on the Peace Bridge live cam occasionally today and yet to see any vehicles coming out of Canada. Also Bluewater traffic looks to be at a standstill via the Boatnerd cam, but too far off to see if it’s both lanes.
Go Canada. You’ve shocked the world.
https://www.thegatewaypundit.com/2022/02/developing-freedom-trucker-convoy-gathers-us-side-border-blue-water-bridge-port-huron-michigan-video/
No ‘shock’ – HOPE! They have given the world HOPE! The best ‘vaccine’ of all.
That looks like Christian from Romania’s truck.
And the most treasured of all gifts the truckers are receiving are the notes of thanks from children. A live streamer did an interview and several truckers broke down in tears while reading/showing the notes. Another almost came to sobs as he talked about missing his wife as he has been there since the beginning, Friday night, January 28, 2022. God bless all these courageous truckers.
Once funds hit a Canadian bank, they can be frozen (albeit, possibly ultimately illegally). I was thinking the other day the only way to really keep the Canadian authorities’ Nazi hands off of the funds is to move CASH in physical bundles… not too big, not too small… over the border. Yes? No?
Money laundering or drug money, will be the accusation.
Besides, if the courts uphold that funding the convoy is illegal, the form the funds take is irrelevant.
Right, but you keep it hard cash, physically secure it, etc.
But yeah… distributing the funds in WHATEVER form opens up those individuals to major legal risk. I can imagine Police intel being able to zone in on the stashes relatively easily.
I don’t think there’ an actual SIMPLE solution for the protesters in the current environment. Canadian Government will just break the Law, they don’t care. You’d have to set up some crazy Mousetrap Contraption whereby Canadians pay for physical supplies using credit cards, then get reimbursed from the U.S. side, likely in crypto… then several years down the line when the coast is clear, and the credit card companies are no longer monitoring certain types of transactions (large buys in certain retail stores), then you convert the crypto. What?!? :^)
How about utilizing prepaid debit cards that can be reloaded as needed?
I don’t know all the details of Ontario’s court order, but I would look to use a credit union in Saskatchewan or Alberta. I cannot see those provinces enforcing this Ontario court order.
Drug dealers and criminals in the US typically use Western Union money orders from Walmart. LOL. As ridiculous as it seems that’s what they use!
GSGo said they would pay vendors directly, not go thru a bank.
You can get your own donation back by filing a dispute with the bank who holds your credit card account. If your card is a Visa, BofA is most likely the one. They credited mine right away without any discussion at all.
Pqying down trucker mortgage’s (if any) with TD bank could be a good way of reclaiming the frozen finds and making it more difficult for the banks, in general, to facilitate conspiracy to wirefraud by the authorities. ie become their own bank.
If the lawyers on site are not able to draw up agreement for the primary beneficiaries of any such a plan (which could provide both immediate benefit and a long term revenue stream), they will certainly know people that can.
Didn’t some wise old guy say “ Either we all hang together or we’ll all hang alone” . Now is that time
George Washington
Benjamin Franklin.
“We must surely all hang together, or we will certainly be hung seperately.”
I think thats pretty close, and it was Ben, always the wit, IIRC.
So what if they remove the trucks and arrest the protesters.
Who will transport the nation’s stuff. Even if the truckers just packed up and left then refused to work what would these totalitarians do? Drag them out of the houses and force them to drive?
i remember seeing an article a few weeks back where the US government was testing the idea to use TEENAGE drivers to drive big rigs.
https://www.cbsnews.com/news/truck-drivers-teens-supply-chain-crisis/
Cant make this bull hockey up . . . . .
Probably will try illegal aliens who can’t speak or read English.
why would an illegal drive a truck? too much like work. the gov. will pay them anyway.
The US gubermint has lowered the age to obtain a CDL to 18. There may be some hoops to jump through, but generally you must be at least 18 now. What could go wrong?
I suspect they would use something like our National Guard to move goods stuff. If they get really hard nosed.
National Guard typically don’t have Class III Drivers licenses for semi trucks!
The grocery stores had many empty shelves, in Arizona, a few weeks ago, but yesterday it was stunning the amount of gorgeous produce and all shelves full up! Even paper goods were plentiful, but a few weeks ago were being rationed. Many customers wearing masks, but no nastiness to those who weren’t
Yes, thats why all the Governments actions have been so silly.
Also why, despite the enthusiasm for it, we reallu don’t NEED a convoy in the U.S.
As Frances responce has shown, and Whitmer statement affirms, Globalist,…globally have detirmined the lesson learned is “don’t let it get this far” i.e. JT ‘screwed up’ by not stopping the convoy long before it got to Ottowa.
They still don’t get that in ANY country, all the Truckers need to do, is stop working.
They are changing their tactics, to adapt.WE must do likewise.
I’d say “refugees” but they don’t work – they get everything they need from the tax pool…
I am truly sickened and frightened by the actions of the police. What would happen if just one of them had crossed over and joined the freedom fighters? Yes, I know they need their pensions. Yes I know they have families but they they realize that the freedom fighters have families and pensions too?
Nope…They’re GOVT EMPLOYEES. Pension prostitutes, lazy, greedy, entitled, inferior workers.
No heart, no soul, no competence, no conscience, no honor.
I spit on them.
You know nothing.
Please, enlighten us.
I hope are not talking about literally spitting on ANYONE. That is a sick, disgusting thing to do.
Pension prostitutes, lazy, greedy, entitled, inferior workers. not true of them all.
I was a pension prostitute in private industry. werent you?
Not I.
For the sake of liberty, unrestricted police power must be removed from the Chief Executive (tyrant) and approval for use placed in the hands of the legislative branch.
For all we know, they let it be known, up to the command that they would not carry out unlawful orders.
We know the truckers HAVE been recieving intel, which could have only come from within LE.
Other than a few bad apples, like the ones that roughed up the old, small horn honker, WHAT have the Police actually DONE?
Respond to hate, with love.
I generally agree with you but I have not and do not advocate hatred of anyone – well almost anyone… I any case, not for police.
Nevertheless, as I posted above I am very frightened and very concerned about the actions I have seen police take as they “just do their jobs”. LEOs have enormous power and I have seen them use it against children, old people, young people, defenseless people, parents walking with their children… all in the name of the couff. All because a tyrant tells them to do it. I have seen them “take the knee” to criminals. I have seen them “stand down” while people attending a political rally get their heads bashed in. I have seen them humiliate and arrest a father because he complained that his daughter was raped and a member of a school board told them to arrest him. All of that frightens me. In fact it scares the living daylights out of me.
That’s what I’m figuring.
A senior former security officer – the equivalent of our POTUS Secret Service – has spoken at the Convoy’s press conferences.
They’re all very well plugged in.
wow
The veterans in Ottawa have been keeping the War Memorial clean and shoveling the snow from it since the first weekend when the ‘legacy’ media reported, incorrectly, that the protestors were defacing it. (The Canadians, unlike most Americans b/c most people who now live in America are not American and know nothing of our war-dead or history, show great respect for their national anthem, veterans and statues.) When the Canadian corruptocrats fenced off the Memorial it angered the veterans b/c they could no longer stop by and give their respect to their deceased brothers by touching it and saying a prayer. One veteran, in particular, I don’t remember his name although live-streamer, Viva Frie, interviewed him several times, got so fed up he actually removed the fence and the police did nothing. Good on him.
Partial solution: build a list of MI companies to boycott.
Point taken. I’m chuckling.
The Gov has (indirectly) already stated some prospective companies.
To all the truckers, their loved ones, the organizers and supporters, we stand and salute you.
You are all true heroes of the highest order, endlessly sacrificing not for your own personal benefit, but for the benefit of all. Your courage and dedication to your convictions have no equal. You are to be honored.
God Bless each and every one of you.
To you greedy, power hungry, selfish elitist, your jackboot bullies, and those that cower and suck hind teat off you, your day is coming.
Suicide Towing Company, lets see who goes on the hook?
Pastor Artur faces unprecedented charges: First Canadian to be charged under Alberda’s Critical Infrastructure Defense Act. He is currently locked in isolation, waiting bail, and a hearing scheduled for next week.
https://www.rebelnews.com/shocking_legal_update_pastor_artur_faces_historical_charges
One more demand for the Freedom Truckers to add to their list!
They are making a hero of him that will be known world-wide for 50 years or more. All petty, bogus charges will be meaningless. The kids of those police and gov officials will not want to tell their grandchildren their role.
“Pastor Artur is the first person ever charged under the Act, but it is a charge that many suspect is not likely to stick.”
What they’ve been doing to that man is truly unforgivable.
From last June…
“Artur Pawlowski: Now is the Time to Fight”
https://rumble.com/vij0z5-artur-pawlowski-now-is-the-time-to-fight.html
(Side Note: I might have to throw a little donation toward that Rebel News…)
Locked in isolation.
Join me this night in praying for Pastor Arthur and his family. May the Lord of Hosts surround, guide and protect them and all the freedom fighters around the world. In Jesus name we pray.
I imagine there are a host of angels keeping him company in that cell!
Satan attacks those who serve the LORD.
American truckers blocking the Port Huron Bridge to Ontario now!
https://www.thegatewaypundit.com/2022/02/developing-freedom-trucker-convoy-gathers-us-side-border-blue-water-bridge-port-huron-michigan-video/
Tactical teams and snipers?
Why don’t they use these tactics at the southern border ?
Keep track or the towing companies names and those little flatbed trucks will never carry anything larger then a car or pickup.
I THINK SUNDANCE MEANS:
“Yesterday, Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau and ILLEGITIMATE Biden held a phone call to discuss the collaboration of U.S. and Canadian federal law enforcement as well as joint intelligence agencies to remove any blockades at the border crossing points.”
All this could end right now if Trudeau would just admit defeat, back down, and rescind his government mandates for an unnecessary “vaccine” that doesn’t prevent the illness for which it’s intended.
Simple
he can’t do that, though
Justin Trudeau will not even meet with the truckers. Behold the great Canadian God, worship him, do not question him, ever. Such are the delusions of Trudeau.
I pray the Eternal, Almighty and Sovereign God will smite the man who believes he is god.
He is “just following orders” like so many before him.
You don’t go from forced 2-week Quarantine Sequestration to “rescind his government mandates” overnight… if at all. I don’t see Fidel Trudeau, Jr. giving up without doing something truly dumb… that side is all-in on the Great Reset…
Maybe a Ceausescu somewhere in the family tree?
He reads the situation with a similar agility of mind.
Even the Demmunists in this country are at least making appearances of backing off from the mandate BS, even if they’re still going to give whatever shots to all the true-believer Covidians out there.
This is a bigger issue than the mandates. It involves, government control in general, the World Economic Forum, guilt over the injection injuries and deaths, and more. trudeau of Canada, klaus schaub of the WEF, angela merkel of Germany, boris johnson of Britain, macron of France, jacinda ardern of NZ, daniel andrews of Australia, karl nehammer of Austria and others not to mention everyone involved with the pharmaceutical industry and at various governments. They know this soft Awakening of the unwashed masses must be extinguished because they are well aware of the ill wind veering to their direction.
Bingo.
Wrong…the truckers are advocating for more than just the mandates removed. They want accountability for the abusers too.
I hope those guys driving the flatbed trucks realize they are not going to fit a semi on their decks
Towing Company supposedly sent out a Press Release earlier stating that they were there to be used only if needed to aid emergency vehicles; and that they will NOT tow away any trucks or protestors’ cars.
UOttawaScotty LIVESTREAM tonight!
How many golf carts could fit on one of those flatbeds?
I clicked on the link below the photo of tow trucks which Sundance had put on this thread at the top –
now it says:
Hmm…this page doesn’t exist. Try searching for something else.
yeah, stuff does get deleted from the internets
especially common with twitter
either people change their minds about what they posted and don’t want it up anymore
or twitter’s gestapo – sorry, “fact checkers” – identify it as wrongthink and have it taken down
Or perhaps TCTH don’t want us doxing people and companies on a private site that opens them up to litigation.
They have enough problems on their hands fighting TPTB.
We are now in week 2 of American Truckers saying: “Oh yeah, just wait… We’re going to protest too. No Really! We will protest too. Just wait. We’ll do …something. Real soon!!”
Remember that Rolling Protest planned for Washington D.C. a few years back?
Or the Protest at the border
Or
or
oooorrrrr…..
American Truckers need to head north and buy some cahones.
Do you think the Canadian truckers planned this in two weeks?
The American truckers are dealing with a very different animal: 50 different states, many of which have no or few mandates and you pick where you live. And a CIA and military that is much larger and more politicized.
And who said the truckers have to shoulder this?
MarkO, do you live ine eastern NC, from Cali?
And although Canada and the U.S. essentially span the same distance east to west, the U.S. has many more interstates and highways to choose from.
Will we go across the top of the country on I-94 (that would be sweet for me here in the socialist stronghold of Minnesota), drop down a hundred miles or so to I-90 at the bottom of Minnesota, go further down to I-80, or start from the bottom of the country and cross-over?
Do we zig-zag up and down making sure to pick-up as many large towns along the way as possible? And no matter what, we need to make sure we know the route, and know we can all gather together as close and soon as possible.
I don’t know what all it will take, but know it takes a lot more than just saying, ‘Let’s go!’ That’s what I’d love to do, but will wait for those with great planning skills to get everything in place. Then we’ll go.
Excellent point, Raven.
and is there more private trucking in Canada? the trucks I see in the U.S. are predominantly corporate.
JJJ, how abt you volunteer to b the logistics genius that organizes truckers across 50 states… hiring tacticians now! I’ve been certified PM consultant >20 yrs & the logistical genius of BJ Dichter and organizers is mind boggling. I’m in awe of their mastery of logistics! God bless all truckers and supporters!
Posting on the interwebs is very easy. Criticizing those on the frontline is very easy. Actually doing something is quite a different story as you so eloquently put it.
And, just to pile on, the Canadian truckers had the element of surprise on their side, which is why they weren’t blindsided by a false flag operation (cause that also takes a little while to set up).
I, personally still do not support such a US Convoy toD.C .
Going up to the Canadian border, to reinforce, sure.
They will NEVER allow a convoy to reach D.C., and it accomplishes NOTHING.
As your enemy adapts, you adapt.
Just pull over, OFF the highway, at 12:00 noon and park.
WHEREVER they happen to be. Sit, for say,….ONE to three hours, just enough to make the point.
Thats really all they need to do.
Fight smarter, not harder.
How about a convoy to shut down US-Mexico border?
agree/ go to the intersection of I40 and I35 in Oklahoma City. Now that could clog things up. They need to think strategically, not emotionally.
Looks like March 4, with some activity beginning March 1.
https://wepatriot.org/peoplesconvoy/
I see two distinct problems in the U.S.; one the marked lack of cohesion between states and more individually between citizens and, two, the litigious nature of the U.S. compared to Canada.
We’re also a lot more violent as a nation than Canada is. We’ve killed and maimed millions around the planet over the centuries and violence permeates the very fabric of our society. Getting everyone on the same page for a widespread peaceful rolling convoy protest is a tall order, particularly in light of government actions on and after January 6.
I am hopeful though. The Canadians have been stellar examples of how peace and diplomacy can work.
centuries?
Yes, the United States has existed for centuries, since the 1700’s. History books can provide the details on the death part. Great reading.
Possible third problem: recently read that Canadian truckers tend to own their own vehicles, while American truckers drive vehicles owned by large companies. If that’s accurate, then wouldn’t Americans in the latter category need the owners’ permission to drive the vehicles off-route?
Also wondering what the liability terms are in insurance policies. Can pretty much guarantee that lawyers are on stand-by, ready to interpret (i.e., twist to their advantage) the language precluding this or that activity from being covered. Aren’t we the most litigious nation in the world?
There are plenty of owner operators here in the US, who are not Teamsters and could definitely do what the Canadian truckers are doing, but they’re not. As far as “obstacles” like liability, etc, fighting for freedom isn’t easy. The Canadians are doing it. The French are in the streets as well as the Aussies. Crickets here.
Yes, there’s so much going on right now across the globe on this topic that it’s nearly impossible to keep up with it all. I’ve focused mostly on Canada since they’re a close trading partner and on the same continent.
They’ve laid out a roadmap. It’s up to us whether we wish to adopt it and modify it to fit the particulars of our culture and landscape. If the People’s Convoy goes off after March 1, then that’ll be one canary of things to come.
The truck and driver numbers in the U.S. dwarf Canadians by a huge amount and with correspondingly larger cadres of corporate -owned vehicles.
However, the population of owner operators, in absolute numbers, is likely higher in the U.S. than in Canada and, whether employed or independent, truckers can, if they choose, support the convoy action with their bodies and, as applicable, their trucks.
If one watches the live streams in Ottawa, one will note large numbers of private passenger vehicles and pickup trucks parked with the big rigs, and some I’ve come to recognize as being there for weeks now.
Forex, a couple of farmers who also have trucks didn’t bring their trucks rather a pickup and large utility trailer and are living in it by a war memorial during the protest. Dave Freiheit has interviewed them a couple of times. I believe they’re from Alberta. One example of the variety of support that exists in the Canadian effort.
If they tried to Ottawa DC, they wouldn’t stand a chance bc Bowser would call antifa thugs.
We’ve killed and maimed millions…
We?
Gee, history books must’ve been revised since I was in school. Something about our Original Sin, the Founding Fathers of 1619?
And I sure didn’t hear that from family members who fought Nazis in North Africa. Or those who sweltered in New Guinea to defend Australia from invasion by the Japanese Imperial Army.
I thought at first glance that you wrote canoes (not cahones)
You’re comparing apples and potatoes. Even Pennsylvania is mask optional, no quarantine state. What will truckers here object to? Required vaccines for military and hospital workers don’t touch truckers. In Canada, the mandates are so onerous that Truckers will lose their livelihood if they follow them. That’s why they are fighting; their backs are to the wall.
Correct. The difference is that the US Federal government has not imposed nationwide lockdowns or mandates the way Canada has. We have 50 states with their own governors who make those calls. And it is no coincidence that a dozen blue states have been dropping their mandates as fas as possible as if a switch had been thrown. They are trying to unload the spring before it explodes. Trudeau has instead doubled down.
But Joey has collaborated with Justine in that he has put in place a requirement that any driver crossing from USoA into Canada must be vaccinated or park his rig for two weeks while he quarantines himself. This is why you are seeing/will see protests at Canada/USoA border crossings, b/c it affects drivers both ways.
More likely comparing apples to pine cones, or some such logic.
A US of A that’s “killed and maimed MILLIONS around the planet over the CENTURIES” is more profoundly flawed than, say, Communist China.
The CCP’s only been at it for less than a century and kept pretty much to its own corner of the planet.
Have you said that to a trucker’s face yet?
On stage outside parliament building Ottawa, Truck convoy Feb 12, 2022, today, with tens of thousands backed up against stage, about 2 million in Ottawa, tens of thousands of trucks;

According to Fake News Central today
there are “1,000s of people in Ottawa now. That’s all. Nothing to see here folks.”
Ottawalks LIVESTREAM ~Real news for real people.
A new kind of renaissance, FREEDOM.
Looks to be tens of thousands tonight and they’re partying in temperatures now hovering around zero degrees Fahrenheit and expected to dip below zero with wind chills in the minus teens overnight.
Fake news won’t report that. The CBC crews are snug in their warm homes.
And, this folks is why a Trucker Convoy Protest here will fail.
All these years we have been being glad we were not socialist like Canada. You know, with there Universal health care and such.
Thing is in Canada the government went gull blown commie but the people did not. But here, too many people went commie, while the rest thought their government was still a Republic.
Despotism vs Fascism.
I wonder if it does any good at all to protest the feds.
Canada’s totalitarian mandates were ordered and enforced by force against the people, directly by the government, under a false declaration of emergency. Despots.
America’s totalitarian mandates were ordered by the government under a false declaration of emergency but enforced by threats from employers and local government citing federal regulations, fines, and incentives/payoffs. Fascists.
The Canadian truckers took action against their oppressors in government. In America we have to take our action against our employers and our local tyrants.
I think it’s simply because we haven’t been hit as hard as the Canadians. IMO the biggest factor is that the worst of the jab-or-job mandates were knocked down by the courts. If they hadn’t been, I’m pretty sure we’d have full-blown convoys here already just like Canada.
Besides that, it’s the big blue cities that are getting the worst of the Covidian BS. And they seem to enjoy it.
I totally disagree.
There are just as many whacko Lefties in Canada as there are in the U.S.
And just as many sane people in both places.
Look at the School Board Meetings as a start- and take it from there.
At this point in time it is ridiculous parents talking at school board meetings when they should unite and all send their children to school without masks and everytime there are school closings, refuse to do e-school.
If schools close because parents will not comply, let them close. Unenroll the kids. This means no money for district.
Let the parents know the K-12 curriculum is actually only four years of actual learning so a year off school will not matter.
All these videos about the brave parents that spoke up mean nothing. Why are we still ASKING for permission to quit abusing our children emotionally, physically, intellectually, and socially with the masks?
These speeches were brave two years ago but now mean nothing. Absolutely nothing.
I was wearing my Canadian maple leaf on my coat while running errands.
Things are just getting interesting, and we’ve got lots of winning yet ahead.
I see my comment earlier asking for the name of the US companies involved was removed. Every comment I’ve tried to make since has disappeared. I guess I’ve been kicked out of the Treehouse! Well good luck to you all then!
Asking for the name/address/phone number of a company or business is NOT doxxing. Posting personal information online belonging to an individual IS doxxing.
And if the people that run this site think asking for publicly available information about a BUSINESS is doxxing, then they need to get their heads out of their you know whats.
I guess my post is still here, for now, so I’ve not been banned…yet. Who knows, I’ve not gotten the best vibe from this place recently.
Maybe you’ll be more comfortable elsewhere…?
Yeah I think you’re right. Gonna take a break from politics, too. Good riddance to all you and this lousy website.
Take your sour grapes with you.
Thanks for all the heavy lifting…
Yep, reporting ACME Towing and Recovery is helping to remove protestor vehicles is journalism. Goes on everyday, including in topics posted to this site.
Publishing names of principals of ACME Towing and Recovery and their personal phone numbers and addresses is doxxing. I’ve been doxxed before by enemies so know exactly how such threats work, in my case by government employees who had access to such information. No surprise that I take a very dim view of any human beings in government. Decades of experience with their kind.
Ahem! You posted this comment…
This one’s still up. Perhaps you were on a time-out and it’s over now.
No time out, just banned if doxxed someone.
Based on their history, I trust the admins did not remove any comment of yours.
I suspect you never posted a comment that got removed because you would have been banned, not put in a time-out.
Even the whine of your comment, followed by a tagteam comment sounds troll-ish.
Say the admins did remove a comment of yours for you mentioning a company, they could have given you the benefit of the doubt that when you mentioned companies with CEO names?
Nah, the tone of your comment just does not ring true.

My heart breaks at all the work that must be done to clear the attempted doxxers and evil infiltrators.
So much negative energy. So sad.
Michigan is home to US auto industry – they need to open the bridge ASAP so parts can flow. Avoid plant closures and layoffs especially UAW members who helped elect Biden. Big 3 can hire tow contractors to help, can pressure Dem governor of Mich to help or pressure WH (UAW link to Bien etc.). Or combo of all 3. Who knows?
If all the parts were “Made in America”, they would not need the bridges.
True; however, we have a rich history of shared industry and trade with Canada.
I was reminded of this by the suffix of the engine I ran for years in one of my race cars, W. It was ‘Ford’ but manufactured at the W e.g. Windsor, Ontario engine plant, and that was over 50 years ago. The plant was opened in the 1920’s.
I do wish more manufacturing was done here in the U.S. though. It’s been my life, since my business for decades was manufacturing and, frankly, competing with China was a losing proposition, at least in heavy industrial manufacturing, particularly when remaining true to U.S. -sourced raw materials. Brutal.
Anyway, Canada has been IMO a good trading partner. China and Mexico and some others, not so much.
I was reading yesterday about how long Ford has been in Canada. Henry Ford opened the first plant in Windsor 1904. He took over a wagon company there.
The union go on strike all the times and they should not be crossing this picket line, do to speak.
Contract some cargo planes and fly in the parts.
There is nothing stopping Americans from writing or calling the Canadian embassy in D.C. and/or consulates throughout the U.S., and expressing an opinion about the actions of Trudeau and the Canadian government. There are also representatives of the various Canadian provinces in the U.S., especially in D.C. Embassies and consulates are a unique entity, and provide one method to state your opinion. Embassies and consulates are not fond of bad publicity. It is in their best interest to be liked by their host country citizenry.
