The New York Times is reporting, “Tow-truck operators, who have been reluctant to cooperate with the police, will also now be compelled to work with law enforcement agencies to clear Ottawa’s streets and the border crossings at Coutts, Alberta. If they don’t cooperate, they could face arrest.” (link)
Meanwhile, the pontificating pustule of sanctimonious pomposity, Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau, is doubling down on his position that in order to save democracy in Canada his administration must first destroy it:
(link)
Additionally, the Ottawa Police Chief, Peter Sloly, has resigned amid severe criticism from the far-left communists in Canada, because he did not crack down hard enough on the people demanding freedom from oppressive COVID mandates.
[…] Peter Sloly’s resignation as Ottawa police chief, which was confirmed by the minister of public safety, came after Mr. Trudeau took the rare step of declaring a national public order emergency aimed at stopping protests that have roiled Canada for weeks. (link)
The Minister of Public Safety and COVID Compliance says that Ottawa streets will soon be rid of the pesky commoners who think they are entitled to protest the COVID rules. Those who do not willingly comply will join those previously arrested in reeducation facilities and jails.
CANADA – Public Safety Minister Marco Mendicino sought to assure Ottawa residents Tuesday that the chaos in their city will soon end as local law enforcement, bolstered by the RCMP, works around the clock to restore order.
Empowered by the federal government’s move to invoke the Emergencies Act, police will soon establish “no-go” zones in the city’s downtown core to control unruly crowds associated with the anti-vaccine mandate convoy protest, the minister said. People who defy orders to leave, he added, will face fines or jail time, or both.
Mendicino said authorities will move with “great rapidity” to erect more concrete barriers and press private tow truck companies into removing the big rigs that have clogged Ottawa’s streets.
To starve protesters of the money that supports their activities, banks and financial institutions will stop the flow of funds to all convoy organizers, he said. The government is also threatening to suspend corporate bank accounts and commercial licensing for truckers taking part in the convoy. (read more)
The Canadian government may indeed win the battle after they triggered the national Emergency War Measures Act. However, all that has been seen cannot be unseen by a citizenry now witnessing the severity of their police state. Prior to the freedom protest, the detention fences and government guard towers were invisible. The rumors of their totalitarian state was scoffed at as conspiracy theory and ignored.
Now, the watchtowers are being seen by everyone… and many Canadians will sleep less comfortably knowing they are subject to the arbitrary whims of the dictators who have power and promised to confiscate their wealth for wrong-think. Things will not return to ‘normal’ in Canada with so many realizing the state of their oppression.
The working class in Canada seem to be in an abusive relationship with their elected leaders. These revelations cannot easily be ignored.
Let’s check the classic abuser checklist:
I think I would start by taking all of my money out of the bank. I think the view of bankers might be different then. I would anticipate an “emergency” where the government would start rationing your money out of the bank. Then I would sue my employer if he/she/it refused to pay me directly as opposed to putting my money in the bank to begin with. If Covid and it’s aftermath did not convince more of the foolish that allowing politicians to be in charge of medicine and your money received from an employer and spent as you like then there is no hope for that person.
I heard on one of the shows I watch, that all the CEO’s of Banks are very nervous right now and have had meetings all day long with their attorneys.
Should be checking with their life insurance agents as well.
The mini-Maduro Red Diaper Child-Tyrant is trying to start a run on the banks so they should be nervous.
Indeed. If the banks freeze funds and then a court rules the emergency declaration illegal, it voids any purported “immunity” under the invalid “emergency”, and the banks are wide open to lawsuits.
The bank run is on. All over Canada people are emptying their bank accounts. Bank machines are running out of cash. It’s on.
I’m with you. I have read that Canada is freezing some of their bank accts and people that have helped the truckers in some way. What is to stop our government from doing the same here when our truckers lock down DC? Some are opening accts. at Credit Unions that aren’t connected to the government and can’t be frozen. As long as you can still get a debit card and write checks on it, all would be good with it.
Trudeau didn’t do this war measures act on the spur of the moment. It was part of the plan. He gauged public opinion over the last two weeks and saw that the majority are behind him, no matter what he does. The protests were from a small minority, even though there are some high profile critics.
He rode out the surge of initial protest against him, unleashed the MSM to spread his narrative. What can you say when the only sizable objective views are from foreign outlets?
Fox probably has the widest viewing audience who have seen a glimpse behind the curtain. Sorry to say, Canada has literally no widely disseminated conservative media platform. The National Post is mildly conservative at times, but really Rino equivalent. They too get millions from Trudeau. The Epoch Times has good content too, but is not prominant in the mainstream.
Internet people like Ezra Levant, Viva Frei and some others are gadflys fighting far above their weight class. And they can be snuffed out instantly now on a whim.
When he saw that there was no serious opposition in parliament or media outrage he moved into high gear.
I’m sorry to say that too many Canadiens are soft, scared and dependent on the government to define their realities. For every trucker you see in protest there are nine who are compliant. For every protester at these gatherings there are hundreds who are content to place their lives and faith in whatever the government decrees.
If there was a serious opposition political party with integrity or a widespread objective media source then maybe more of the public would wake up. But most are content thinking that the Canada of today is the same as the one in their imaginations.
And where did you get your facts that the majority of Canadians are behind him? He only got like 30% of the vote last time.
3 words:
Dominion Voting Machines.
He’s got the majority of Shenzhen computer techs!
Dominion Voting machines are not going to show up at protests, call their neighbors to marshall support, participate in efforts to take down the cloistered elites. Imaginary voters are only counted in imaginary elections.
Canada uses paper ballots and hand counts.
And then collates and reports the results of the paper ballots using Dominion machines.
I agree. The majority of the population is with the Truckers and Farmers! Go #FreedomConvoy2022
Me four.
The Canadiens are indeed exceptionally soft, but the Canadians are not.
If he has a majority behind him, why does he have to reduce himself to threatening the tow truckers, who apparently unanimously refused to help him bail himself out in the first place? Riddle me that.
I dont know where to even start with what you just posted.
So I wont, lest I be banned.
The ignorance is astounding.
Truly, you are having to pretend not to know things, to even post half of that nonsense. SMH.
You are full of BS – the idea that the protesters were a “fringe minority” is the lie coming from Trudeau and the MSM. Protesters do not represent the Communist Parliament but then Parliament is supposed to represent the people – not the other way around. The protesters DO represent the sentiment of the majority of Canadians!
I was reading comments in the Toronto Sun the other day and they were posting that the truckers didn’t speak for them, we need to keep people safe, etc. Like the U.S. many are still brainwashed (although the convoy is helping eliminate that). Don’t be too hard on this particular post from Matrix.
Comment sections are not a barometer of the citizenry. Especially those of legacy media.
.
Amazing that so many people upvoted this comment.
Sorry, Matrix. Politicians are not the people.
Be that as it may, during the American War for Independence, roughly a third of colonist were Tories, and a third were apathetic ignorami. Fortunately, relatively few of them were strong, working-age men.
As with the US there are likely at least two Canadas. Doubt Trudeau planned anything. Spent 30 years in the military. When someone came up with an “all is lost narrative” we would do the following exercise. Come up with three workable alternatives that address overcoming at least one obstacle to our desired end state. Pretend you get $1million for doing that. Otherwise I shoot you in the head (pretend). How would you like to proceed? Turns out some form of the endstate was within our grasp- we were just negotiating the terms of achieving the goal.
I can think of at least one of Aesop’s Fables which addresses your concerns.
I’m gonna go with the frog that just kept swimming.
Have you not seen the millions, yes millions, of people at the protest? One day it was reported that the police gave the number as 2.5 million. Sure, they aren’t there every day/night, but they are with the truckers. They take them food, fuel, write notes of encouragement, take them in to their homes for showers, laundry and meals, etc. One trucker interviewed said he was told to tell them if he needs anything and they would see that he got it. Brandeau is running scared.
62% of Canadians support the Truckers. 62% is hardly a small minority. TrueDope is done for.
Brandon’s third son… FJT

The Freedom Mutilator… he’s got Vaccinations
“The Canadian government may indeed win the battle after they triggered the national Emergency War Measures Act. However, all that has been seen cannot be unseen by a citizenry now witnessing the severity of their police state.”
The scariest question, in my mind, is just how many of the citizenry are wildly applauding at the severity of their police state? How many citizens in Canada, and here in the US as well, think these actions are well deserved to bring those who are practicing “wrong think” into compliance with “the narrative”? I shudder to consider just how many of my neighbors, and even a few of my own family members, would cheer if my bank account was emptied and I was denied entry to society until I learned to “obey my betters” like they so willingly do! You know, for the “greater good” and all that….
“The scariest question, in my mind, is just how many of the citizenry are wildly applauding at the severity of their police state? How many citizens in Canada, and here in the US as well”
Or at least OK with it? Probably even more than in Germany in the late 1930’s. Although probably not as many as in America’s new Woke/CRT US Military.
One day these petty dictators in training will face a living God.
DD
this seems most appropriate right now
Psalm 119:126
It is time for you to act, Lord; your law is being broken.
I’m hoping for sooner, rather than later.
DD, question 4 u since ur Canadian, can’t Parliament bring a No Confidence Vote to the floor at any time? If yes, why hasn’t this been done, esp after this latest dictatorial move by JT?
The vote to stop the mandates lost. No way, IMHO, will a non-confidence vote, at this time, work.
Please….prove me wrong!
It is not over yet. The tow truck drivers may join the truckers on the street and stay with thm. Who will tow the tow truck?
They can all just call in sick, have technical difficulties, and when they do work, they can be super super slow.
simple.
Stop answering the phone.
Go on vacay.
Call in sick with Covid. Quarantined. Problem solved.
Time to bring all the trucks down for maintenance for safety of course.
Or take a vacation in sunny Florida for the balance of the winter.
Come on down.
Unvaxxed Canadians can not travel, so….
Ninety percent of the truckers are vaxxed.
Indeed they are, but do not want their kids and grandchildren vaxxed.
How many trucks will a tow truck tow when a tow truck won’t tow trucks? Apology to woodchucks.
And how many tow trucks can actually tow a semi?
that question will be in correlation with how many canadians want the mandates lifted. seems the whole world wants out from under them. but the demeanor of trudeau isn’t appealing. ‘woe to the land whose king is a child.” eccles.
All we hear are lies and criticism of the truckers and their convoy. Can’t the truckers start hitting the narrative back loud and clear that all they want is for the government to LIFT THE MANDATES. Nothing more – nothing less. Why are the mandates needed still? Two years plus are long enough for the government to put an end to the peoples’ deprivation of liberties via their “keep us safe” excuse.
We all know why they don’t want to take them away because that would stop their road to world control. Why can’t the truth come out? Blast the whole cabal of psychopaths here and now.
What exactly do you think they have been doing?
Simple, because the globalists control the media. In Canada the CBC is paid by Brandeau to say what he tells them to say. That’s why you only hear negative narratives unless you watch live streamers actually at the protest talking with the truckers. Then you will hear the truckers tell anyone willing to listen (Brandeau isn’t) that they just want the mandates lifted and the tracking stopped.
In my large extended family, there is only actually one sibling who is a true Karen. The rest, vaxxed and unvaxxed, still believe in freedom of choice. Where I live, I only ran into 1 Karen. Even in visiting CA, I only ran into 1 Karen. My experience tells me they are the fringe and the rest of us just want to be left alone.
Apparently in the Okanagan Valley in BC some 40% (online poll) want to be in a dictatorship with Emergency Rule by the canadian boy prince.
https://www.castanet.net/edition/news-story–11-.htm
Humans are fickle creatures. Scare them enough and they will accept/demand draconian measures to make them feel safe.
Humans?????????
Destroying the educational system has its’ consequences!
Why would you believe a poll ?
You said that doubleplusgood ! haha lol
Bet the % is different in Alberta than it is in Ontario. Perhaps like OK vs Mass. Or Long Island vs Manhattan.
Just before the convoy 65% approved of the lockdowns and vaccination passports. Once the convoy was underway in a mere two weeks that dropped to 49%. Since then it has dropped to 39%. The truckers have broken the mass psychosis and more and more people are waking up everyday.
Or the polls are rigged as is everything else in the political world
George Orwell wisely stated, “All tryannies rule through fraud and force, but once the fraud is exposed they must rely exclusively on force.”
READ THIS TO SEE WHERE JUSTIN TRUDAU WAS TRAINED AND WHO TRAINED HIM:

And Schwab was apparently mentored by Henry Kissinger… pure evil
How many trucks can trudoes trucks tow, if all the tow truck operators, are sitting in jail?
This is such a great exposure of the elitist attitude, that people who work with their hands are idiots who can’t do anything else, and their jobs can easily been done by illegals, china sweatshop workers, or robots.
As much skill as it takes to drive a big rig, towing a big rig takes more,..very specialised skills.
The kind of people that do that kind of work, are a special breed, and I really don’t think Justin threatening them with arrest is going to do anything but steel their resolve.
Meanwhile, the cowardly contingent of back bench ministers gets more embarrased, and more flack from their constituents, every day.
6days left until Justin has to go to parliament, and try to justify his invoking emergency powers.
Note to Justin;
If you need a new shovel, of fresh pair of gloves, anything I can do to help you KEEP DIGGING, just let me know!
I am sure you are ALMOST there, just a little further!
We would comply but all of our trucks are down for winter maintenance. Back online April first! Or so…
Trucks get covid too
Some of that maintenance renders the trucks inop. until complete so the Gestapo can’t use them either.
Yep.
They just need to channel their inner putin and sit tight for the win.
Tamara said they will hold the line, and I think they will.
At this point the Truckers’ credibility far outshines the government’s.
Six more days….or less.
Meanwhile, Trudeau’s shouting and threatening from the bottom of a logistical, numerical, political and moral pit of his own digging.
He can control WHAT WE SEE. all youtube walkers – account froze (coming)
he doesnt care if trucks are there forever. he just wants surrender from the people.
From what I can tell they have the trucks parked every which way in some of the locations, almost like a Rubik’s cube. It would be really hard to navigate to tow anyone.
Oh, he is going to have blisters on his hands when he is done.
I believe the word used to force citizens to work for the government against their will is “Conscription”.
Slavery.
Yes and Slavery – work or die.
God bless all Freedom Truckers, their sacrifice, their families and all of us that support them with funds and or prayers. We will prevail! Have no doubt! No matter what it looks like right now. With God on our side , we can not fail 🙏❣️
And I can almost guarantee that large portions of Canadian voters will think twice about how concerned progressives really are about voter wellbeing, their rights, the meaning of their constitution etc., before they cast their votes for them.
Progressive is a misspelling — it is Regressive !
Petty tyrants have taken over what was once a free country.
Dictator Trudeau is enjoying his power trip. Today’s Question Period or more accurately mild discussion with a Dictator.
Cursor to 24;24 if the CRT fails.
a bunch of idiots in masks
even sheep are more independent than those idiots
won’t get much help there
All tow truck operators should claim they have COVID symptoms and will self-quarantine at home until the symptoms go away.
For many of them, their truck is their home.
The trucks must not be useable by others.
pull the cable out, cut it every ten feet, half way through. roll er back up. go try pull some trucks.
Go ahead, Turdeau. Arrest several hundred truck drivers. Will you and your pantywaist cabinet members then move the trucks? Think y’all can manage an 18-speed transmission? Pay-per-view material coming up soon.
wish they were all B-61 ‘s.
First they came for the truckers, and I did noting…..
How many different factions of the populace will the tyrants alienate before a general uprising occurs?
Well, that’ll sure make them want to help. *sarcasm*
The only actual crimes committed so far were the sabotaging by the RCMP of heavy equipment parked on PRIVATE PROPERTY.
And sabotaging gas in cans with water before they were returned to truckers.
Arresting an old man for honking his horn in support.
On one of the chat feeds someone said that some of the food given to the truckers had laxatives in it. It was a chat feed, so no idea if true, but I have said from day one take only pre-packaged food unless it is from someone you know.
Theft of the jerry cans even after the police were ordered to return the fuel they stole.
This ^^^^^
That was rotten. Those cops need some Karma to visit them.
Yeah! Crimes perpetrated by the Police, NOT the Protesters.
Gun planted at Coutts by RCMP.
Trudeau supports free speech as long as you repeat what he says or shout hallelujah after whatever he says. He can pretend but Canada is a dictatorship, as plain as can be seen.
Tow the truck and leave it there, too. Say it broke. s/
“The Canadian government may indeed win the battle…”
… but they will lose the War.
TruDope is such an utter jerk. Reminds me of our Dear Leaders here, especially Piglosi. They just keep doubling down and the more they do the more we despise and detest them, and the more people turn against them. His words are laughable as he does the exact opposite of what he’s stating. There’s no such thing as Freedom when you are compelled by force. What a joke. Where’s the puke emoji when you need it?
Time for the tow trucks drivers to join the semi trucks! Or they all quit together. “Sorry Justin, everyone quit on me today!”
Just slap a sign on the company door… CLOSED for COVID QUARANTINE
Canadian Communist Party ???
The new CCCP (Canadian Covid Communist Party)… The Red Army team.
I would think disconnecting the fuel pump or some other operationally required part on my tow trucks would put a quick stop to forcing tow truck drivers to comply. Trudeaup can’t hardly throw them in jail because their tow trucks aren’t working. Although maybe he can, but others can’t use those tow trucks either.
pull the axles. ‘i have no idea what happened to them’.
There are numerous ways to decommission your tow truck or any truck without totally destroying it. I would think missing a couple of necessary key components would be a great way to slow the tyranny.
General safety recall on winch cables. General safety recall on defective pins on the wheellifts or underlifts. ETA on replacement parts unknown, as they may be somewhere off the coast of Los Angeles. Or maybe Shanghai.
Air brakes on big rigs freeze up all the time in cold weather. Be a real shame if your tow truck snapped a driveline trying to tow a truck with the brake lines frozen
Can’t they just “ lose “ the keys ?
When do we the people start winning battles? The bad news is very soon governments across the globe will enact measures (kill switches on trucks available via 5g to gov, route plans like flight plans with gov tracking routes taken, trucking company financial penalties for non compliance, etc). The shelf life of this protest might be short. It was brilliant but now it’s endangered.
There are more of us so we need some wins.
Kill switches don’t work on older cars. Condenser/point ignition, mechanical fuel pump, carburetors, etc. EMP won’t stop it either, absolutely no computers or electronics.
I know, older trucks, vehicles lack GPS, network connections and computers. But FTA can put in new regs as part of the Covid emergency order stream, force most truckers to comply. Look at Ca new environmental regs on trucks. It can happen especially in Mayor Pete’s FTA.
We have to think like they think to overcome.
Maybe that’s why California’s new regs are outlawing trucks more than 3 years old…
.
Remember mandatory vehicle inspections?
I just had to chuckle at the latest hashtag

The abusive relationship check list is brilliant work.
Needs to be pasted inside every public toilet/restroom and on every lamppost in North America … and Australia.
Should add New Zealand for the sake of our Kiwi Friends, and the UK to round it out.
5 Eyes that *need* to be poked.
I am recalling back in grade school when the old nuns put the fear of God into me about the evil of communism and what living in it is like. What chilled me most was when they said while you were a child the govt would pick what you will do with your life and you would have no choice. I don’t know how accurate that is, but it planted in me the worldview I have to this day
Later I thought of where liberalism could lead if achievers had the rewards of their labor removed in the name of equality. It would come to the point they simply quit producing. What then? You have to have producers after all. Well, the government would *make* people produce – by force. There it is.
We aren’t there yet, but look: we now have people being forced to work – to do a specific job the govt needs done.

This is how Trudeau wins the battle, but loses the war.
ATTENTION CANADIAN TOW TRUCK DRIVERS: Canada has now entered the mating season of Tow(ers), and it is time to drive to Labrador for your annual migration. Do not forget to HONK on your journey to find a compatible Tow(er). In the meantime inform Let’s Go Justin that upon your return 6 months hence, you will perform the services requested by your Guvment!
Forced Conscription makes the tow-truck drivers slaves and Property of the State.

“the pontificating pustule of sanctimonius pomposity”…I almost fell out of my chair, I was laughing so hard at Sundance’s description of Trudeau. Funnier than hell, but accurate.
Good one, Sundance. I’m still giggling over that.
Btw, I think we’re winning. Hold the line everyone. God bless the truckers.
One thing is for certain: if Trudeau and his Authoritarian Regime emerge from this unscathed, then they will take it to the next level… if you can imagine.
Full “protective measures”. You know… Domestic Violent Extremism and whatnot. Gotta monitor all Social Media posts and Credit Card/Bank Transactions. Gotta make some Watch Lists and restrict activities of Known Wolves.
“We can’t allow this attempt to subvert Democracy to ever happen again.”
This is what they do.
They will use these tools which they will refine, banking, insurance, medical, donations, social media, education, employment to squash any opposition. The same is already in progress in the US.
IOW, Justin Trudeau has made tow truck drivers into slaves.
More bullshit, the tow trucks used to tow the big rigs are not the garden variety, they are specialized pieces of equipment.
There ain’t that many of them !
Time to hitch em up is not 30 seconds, especially with a little ingenuity on the Truckies behalf !
I lost my tow truck(s) in an ice fishing accident.
Weird… I was just thinking a little while ago about ice fishing with my father many moons ago… good times.
I think losing a tow truck or three in a ice fishing accident would definitely not be “good times”, however.
This is a repost of another Treeper’s link a couple of weeks ago. It is a short essay which explains the mechanism behind the truckers success and how in reality a small percentage of the population, determined not to comply, can effect change. Worth a read.
