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:
Abandon the trucks and go home. Throw sand in the machinery. Literally.
Don’t give an inch. You’re screwed either way unless you win so go down swinging.
Just remove every other lug nut from each wheel; and, disconnect one or more brake lines from each unit or trailer. Then demand the Liberal Party from their own resources, not government, pay C$200 per lug nut reinstalled, and C$350 per brake line to the driver as an honorarium, plus fill each vehicle’s fuel tanks.
I don’t see these as the abandoning type. More like the stay with your truck and stand your ground type. With these latest revelations from the “administration” it’s becoming more and more clear to everyone involved that this will be the hill to die on. Object being to let the administration be the ones that do all the dying.
Let the air out of the tires, remove the lug nuts.
Knife the tires…lets see them find replacements…
That’s dangerous. The pressure will kill someone.
Not wise. Eventually you run out of other people’s trucks.
These drivers are not about to scuttle their own ships.
There’s a Honda sitting on jackstands last I looked today at center stage; great example of the no wheels idea.
Ag theft was so prevalent in the area of Ca where I lived that whenever I’d leave for any extended period I’d put the tractor on blocks in the shop with the tires/wheels locked up and the lug nuts in the shop office refer with the frozen food. Make the criminals work for their loot.
As the crowd whittles down with time, IMO the more hard-core resistors will be those left and who knows what they’ll come up with. Truckers are tough and creative. This weekend should be quite the spectacle.
It may be prudent to go home for a period of time. The war is won over many battles. The truckers can live to fight another day.
No. Based on what’s been demonstrated so far, this administration is one of those “give them an inch, they’ll take a mile” types.
Yes, a good example of that can be seen in Windsor if one follows the protestors who are still streaming recon there. The Commies are busy, busy.
Just watch the 10 plus hours of video Rumble/Youtube of the Ottawa protest by Canadian lawyer David Freiheit aka VivaFrei, and you will see for yourself the reality of the honesty and peacefulness of the protesters. They tried to sanitized the War Measures Act by altering its name to the Emergency Measures Act but its invoking is a totally unnecessary action by a petulant elitist who will never admit that he is wrong. How can Trudeau have any standing in Canada and the world when he knowingly dressed in black-face? Why has he not been cancelled?
Been watching him live from Ottawa when he’s there… He will be there again tomorrow.. He streams live for 3-4 hrs usually.
Trudy is there because Xi Jinping / Soros and other commies want him there.
IMO China controls the politics of Canada, just like they do in the US
He’s become quite good at playing the roll of useful/less idiot.
Stop with the blackface already. What he is doing now is about a trillion times worse than wearing blackface. I say trillion because I don’t know what comes after a trillion.
Trillion and one. ; )
Thank me later.
You spelled Fidel Trudo’s name wrong.
PS
The lawyer for truckers site every case allowing EarthFirst, Greenpeace and Wilderness Society to block railroads and access to nuke power plants ect
This is standard double standard operating procedure.
We saw Pierre Poilevere on a press gaggle last night clarifying that he was against blockades . . . did he ever stand up against Antifa, et al?
Is he a weasely-politician type?
Why are all the MP’s letting JT go this far?
It seems to me that whomever steps up to the plate and unequivocally denounces Trudeau – whether Liberal or Conservative – wins the day, FOR Canadians.
Who are the people we keep seeing there in Parliament – whether for purportedly “against” JT – are they all graduates of that WEF hothouse academy?
Pierre is gonna stop ’em with his petition!
the force is strong with his piece of paper
I hate Dan Crenshaw, and he probably cribbed this idea from someone else, but he’s right.
We should offer political asylum to the persecuted truckers-
Like Graham and McConnell, Crenshaw loves to spruce up his conservative resume when he knows Democrats can block him. No such thing will be happening under a Biden admin.
Makes for good campaign ad fodder, though.
I would welcome all Canadian patriots however it rather defeats the purpose, does it not?
Canadians are making a stand in their country to end the tyranny and they are making progress to that end.
Sure, Turdeau is attempting to step way over the legal line but it’s because they are being successful in their endeavors.
Not to mention Crenshaw is as reliably a conservative freedom advocate as Joe Biden is a member of the Mensa Society.
We will all be in this battle. It is global. How much time does leaving their home country buy them?
Yes to all you said here!
Furthermore, the Canadians arw fighting the good fight as it SHOULD be done all over the world rather than becoming refugees from their own precious country!
How does that song go, “ya don’t have to live like a refugee?”
I think that could be the basis for a really powerful anthem, rework the lyrics a bit and throw in some air horns at the end!
Tom Petty’s other anthem would be appropriate here as well, “I Won’t Back Down”.
Yes!
Yeah, as with other comments of “just abandon the trucks and go home”, I am compelled to ask;
Exactly WHAT part of
“HOLD THE LINE” do you not understand?
I agree Dutchman, some of these trucks cost more than or almost as much as their homes. We are not talking about walking away from piece of junk car. These truckers are doing this right! I am so impressed and proud of them. Continueing to pray for them and their families.
Not only that-does anyone think the Trudopes in “law” enforcement won’t hunt down and arrest the truckers? What kind of nanny-pamby protesting is that?
No, it’s do or die trying time. I have no doubt we will all get our opportunity soon, especially if the Canadian truckers fail.
I agree and it is why I hate to see blue state Patriots move to Red States
It just gives up territory
I’d rather see them change the blue state
(I am not against them moving – I think y’all know what I mean)
Greeneghis Khan, I am one of those blue state patriots.
I left the state I spent over 50 years of my life in and moved to Indiana.
What you have to understand is that the blue states work very hard to bleed you dry within the state.
As a citizen in a blue state, your exorbitant taxes fund the liberal lunacy as your quality of life plummets.
It’s financially exhausting as well as mentally and emotionally exhausting. They bleed you to the point that it is almost impossible to make your exit. That is by design.
Imagine that you live in a house built in the 1950’s, great area, old house. Repairs cost an arm and a leg.
Politics means that you can’t use the wood stove in the house to heat the house, you have rolling brownouts because of energy usage on the grid. Each bill comes with rebukes about your energy use though you pay the bill and wish they would shut up about it.
Water shortages and rationing mean that each bill that arrives comes with an insert indicating how much water you use in relation to your neighbors. I’ve never talked to anyone that said they used less according to those bloody inserts.
You work a 10 hour day and can count on anywhere from 1-2 hours on each end of your commute. Each day you work is a 12-14 hour day. Those commute times mean you will have someone tailgating you no matter the speed you go.
I was a lead foot and would pull over for those going 85-90. You can’t imagine the tension you carry at all times.
No thank you!
I fought the good fight for a long time in that state. I did my part with friends and locally. I even worked on my fellow union members. I never gave up until it was a financial crisis if I remained.
One of the things I have brought with me to my new abode is the ability to caution the residents here on the slippery slope of good intentions. I spread the word every chance I get.
I’m involved, dedicated and will not go down without a fight.
As a native Californian of over 60 years, I recognize your rant 😉
I was reminded my ancestors fought, then escaped, the Bolsheviks. Sometimes a strategic withdrawal is the most prudent action. No regrets. Traded one blue state for a more conservative geographically different blue state that is far more affordable.
In Canada, one could liken it to moving provinces. For some that is the answer, for others not. Each of us picks the hill we fight and die for, if it comes to that. No regrets here.
Thank you, Dunes.
Those that haven’t lived the economic tyranny enacted in blue states don’t really get it.
Living to fight another day does have merit and is a strategically savvy move when done well.
Battles are not full frontal assaults 100% of the time.
Hoosier, I dunno if it’s IL y0u escaped from, but we ourselves escaped Hellinois in 2019. Life is far better in rural NE NC. I am happy you got away from insanity, and are in greener pastures.
What is legal? Whatever the corrupt state says it is.
It’s a good tweet but I wouldn’t vote for Crenshaw if he paid me. He’s just another dime a dozen RINO.
He is an especially sleazy brand of RINO. The kind who uses their military service to make voters think they are patriots. IMHO.
Plus the added bonus of being visually disabled, for the sympathy vote. Dan can go pound sand IMHO.
You’d let a Democrat win rather than elect a RINO? Primary Creepy Crenshaw out and vote for him if you can’t . Get him the next time. Giving away the 2 Georgia US Senate seats wasn’t enough?
I agree, the Primary is when to not vote for them. But I did see a commercial for some republican running for judge that claimed she was endorsed by Crenshaw. I am going to watch more closely so that I can mark her name off of my list. I didn’t catch it. If Crenshaw endorses someone, it is someone I don’t want to vote for.
IMO Crenshaw is a RINO with a connection to the CIA.
.
How are they going to cross the border with their trucks? Does Crenshaw expect them to just flee and abandon their homes, assets, families? For TEMPORARY work visas? And not stay and fix their own country, as we supposedly tell people from other places to do?
When does the hot war start…
I suspect many have, or are recognising that they have effectively “abandoned” much; homes? If they were renting prior to the convoy, as they are now living, with their families, in their trucks, for an unforeseeable future, why pay rent?
But, if they were buying their home, with a mortage, and are no longer working, how long can they make the payment,…
especially with Justin threatening to J6 them?
Truck payments and Insurance, registration fees, …? They can (at least in the U.S. suspend their registrations, if the Trucks aren’t moving, unless there is a law saying if they are PARKED on the street they need to be registered.
They could cancel insurance, for those trucks with wheels off that ain’t moving,..
They really are at risk of losing everything,..unless they WIN.
Just like Justin,…
The government is attacking them financially, just like Biden tried to do with the company Covid mandates. The time is now; they J6’d if they don’t follow through. Trudeau is unbelievable and hopefully the Canadians who are sitting on their hands in warmth and comfort will possibly see what could happen to them. I said, “hopefully.”
A significant number of truckers I’ve seen interviewed by streamers do business in the U.S. and are vaccinated. For some who aren’t vaccinated, it’s really cut into their income because the U.S. hauling market is lucrative as there are a lot of trans-border loads as the closing of the border bridges and crossings pointed up.
They could exscape and disappear, particularly if the U.S. goes sideways into widespread chaos. All that law and order stuff will be out the window and survival will be the order of the day.
I remember when plenty of my older friends either talked about or actually did escape to Canada to avoid getting a bullseye strapped to their back and sent to Vietnam. It happens. The 60’s and 70’s were pretty contentious times too.
I’m reminded of how we young people often seemed oblivious since we didn’t yet have the life experience to really grasp what we were experiencing. I see some of that in the young people in Ottawa. I hope they survive to reflect on what has happened here. It’s important. Let’s hope it doesn’t go hot. Hope is a good thing. Planning is a good thing too.
He copied Jack Posobiec.
Crenshaw, Posobiec, both of them are cul de chavals.
canada needs their truckers. we need our truckers. stop importing new werkers, mccainshaw. he just wants lower wages for all. they can free their truckers. we can free ours.
Both countries would be better off with truckers as politicians.
No, I rather imagine it is JT that will be seeking asylum.
Personally, I think it’s a horrible idea for Dan Crenshaw to have . . . but tell me something, Dan, what are your thoughts on your fellow Americans presently in the DC branch of the Qincheng for participating in the January 6th protest?
Putz.
Dan can’t help but welcome more immigrants into America. It’s a good idea but I also think the US government should be charging Canada in the UN with human rights abuses. I’m sure multiple nations would get on board with that, just to prove a point.
Sure Dan. Like the communists in power in the USA wouldn’t join forces with the communists in Canada to help crush the rebellion.
What is really scary is how utterly incompetent and feckless the Canadian government is, and what buffoons the opposing Conservative Party are.
Were there actually a crisis, like a devastating earthquake in Vancouver, the elected political talking heads would be moribund in response. God help us, then.
It is glaringly apparent, that Canada just floats rudderless, while Trudeau spends the country into oblivion.
I’ll take the truckers any day. They think and then do. Intellectually, strategically, and logistically, they are light years ahead of the political bobbleheads. And they can do all this while bouncing in the bouncy castles!
Yes, bobbleheads . . . I saw them with my own eyes!
The elites actually delude themselves that the great unwashed masses, who work with their hands, like truckers, carpenters etc. do that work because they are to stupid to docanything else.
This is pure projection; it is the elites who do the jobs they do, because they are too stoopid to do anything else.
We don’t want such idiots driving an 18 wheeler, or even swinging a hammer, as someone would surely get hurt.
There is a first time for everything. And if they were starving with no paycheck in sight, they would learn darn quick how to swing a hammer. Just make sure they have extra medical insurance because at first, they would hit themselves more than the nails. An 18 Wheeler ……..that’s a bridge too far for most of them.
I once worked for a summer as a carpenter’s apprentice. One day he said, “You hammer like lightning.”
“That so?” I said.
He said, “Yeah you never strike the same place twice.”
I worked as an apprentice back in the 70’s when we were making the transition from hand hammering to nail guns. Back then they didn’t have guards. Darwin was strong back then. Good work though, paid my college tuition and books.
Back then we did everything; there weren’t all the rules like now. The machine shop I started grew out of trying all those things and finding one I enjoyed. Driving a big truck was just part of the game, and far less comfortable than it is now. Noisy, hot, hard work. I still drive a diesel with a manual to remind me. Once in one’s blood, I notice it doesn’t leave. One feels a kinship with those truckers in Ottawa. Salts of the earth.
Were this an actual crisis, like an earthquake, the truckers would have already formed convoys to transport relief aid into the devastated area. It’s just how they roll.
Yes….and I was thinking the other day that if we had a massive flooding emergency up here, I’d sure as heck would want the Cajun Navy called and inbound!
When the crap really hits the fan, the border means nothing – help goes in either direction….and magnitudes faster than the “governments” could ever muster.
This “covid” crap was never an emergency.
Just pull up on the highway and roads, park your vehicles, flatten your tires and hike to city center and join a protest.
.
Without provisions or shelter? With or without wives and kids? And… leave a vehicle that might cost as much as their home to be vandalized and destroyed?
What part of HOLD THE LINE DON”‘T you understand?
.
Abandoning one’s truck is not “holding the line.”
Yeah, I was thinking about the problems involving seizing the wrong bank accounts and the difficulties of transfer when the local bank scoundrel decides to seize it instead of letting you move it. But truly; starting a bank-run precludes all those other disasters. They’d be insane to try and go through with this. But then again, the Liberal Socialists do remind me of the members of The Peoples Temple at Jonestown Guyana.
The bank run is already on.
Is it? As soon as I heard what JT was doing, I thought that it might cause a run, but I hadn’t seen a report on it.
I get the impression that the Canadian press would work extra hard at NOT reporting anything about a bank run.
Yep, I’d expect the fascist media to work diligently to suppress news adverse to their masters and focus on that favorable to their masters or injurious to their master’s enemies.
Parallel economy, embrace it. Leave the fascists and their spawn behind.
I went to my bank to cash a ‘large’ cheque, and was told they didn’t have the funds to cover it….come back Friday if I wanted more than the third of it they could give me cash for.
A friend in Edmonton couldn’t take out the max allowed (without triggering a report to the feds) and was told they didn’t have the funds.
I agree with resolute and Dunes below….the paid-for media would say nothing.
Where are the MP’s that are going to take out the garbage?
Being videotaped diddling children so they can be controlled.
Where have all the Epstein videos gone?
Canada is now a police state, run by jackboots no different then those under the Nazi’s , if I was a tow truck driver I would realize I was just exposed to covid & need to isolate for 2 weeks under the government mandate.
Long term you screw with truckers & they stop trucking or slow way down & the economy will crash, when there is no food or other goods most will blame Trudeau
The USSA is also a police state.
See? You will not be allowed to do nothing. You will be compelled to work by Fabian Socialists. And if you don’t do so, suggesting you have not the character their hearts desire, “you might possibly be executed in a kindly manner.” That’s what George Bernard Shaw, a Fabian, said.
.
No one can prove that you didn’t sprain your back, can’t lift stuff right now, can’t sit for long periods.
The doctors told you that with your Crohn’s Disease diagnosis, they might have to remove your crohn unless you take immediate bedrest.
LOL!
“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.”
Number one rule of working for a tyrant, you can never please them. The closer you get,to the center of power, the closer you are to being grabbed by the throat and disposed of.
no honor in THAT resignation
Doesn’t need to be. This is a classic case where actions speak so much louder than words. Even when viewed from a short distance it becomes obvious that Trudeau has lost his grip on power (what little he ever had). Sure, he will do quite a bit of thrashing and splashing as he’s circling the drain, but it’s just a matter of time.
Yep, just ask Leon Trotsky
I guess he never got the memo that you can’t reason with a liberal.
He made it very clear, several days ago, that he,…the country of CANADA doesn’t have the manpower to do more than what he was doing.
And one if the civilians on the oversite board (bless her heart) wanted to make sure, with all his men were doing, that they were paying SPECIAL attention to protecting the LBGTQ+ community in Ottowa, from those horrible truckers.
I kid you not,…
Trudeau is behaving just like Casto. I wonder why…
Castro gave Castreau a strong endorsement to his current roomie Satan, who has highly qualified advisors on the job
Love, Mike the Pillow Guy !😁

The small percentage of brave truckers and others who have protested cannot compete with the unlimited power and resource of government. There would need to be much higher participation to force change. I salute those who have endured.
Don’t believe you are right Puzzled. They have done well so far and history notes revolutions are carried out by small percentages of the population.
In our own revolution with the British, only 19% participated.
3% acted as armed forces and around 1/3 were supporting the revolution through logistics….typical counter government revolution…a further 1/3 were neutral and the rest were “Tories” or loyal to the Crown….some of the latter went as far as moving to Canada or emigrating to England after the cessation of hostilities
“There would need to be much higher participation to force change. I salute those who have endured.”
The hard part, even today, is determining what ‘higher participation’ is and who it applies to.
I view the truckers as the diplomats. The negotiation team. They bring no malice, a reasonable agenda and an open hand. What results will determine next steps.
I salute the participants and all, here and elsewhere, who are following this and making it a priority at some level in their lives. Together we can succeed. PDJT laid out the road map.
Tow truck companies should just slow walk as much as possible ie “trucks down/unavailable, drivers out sick w/covid. Leave phone off the hook etc.
That’s the wimp’s way out. Real men, real tow truck operators and owners, will say “Go to hell” when told they either tow or get arrested. Any other response plays into the govt’s hand and shows an underlying weakness in that one fears to confront one’s aggressor.
Using your head and not your emotions usually proves to work out better in the end. Time is on our side, not theirs. The longer this drags on the worse it looks for Trudeau.
They need to make sure that their trucks aren’t operable by someone else. I’d say sell the tires and have all the tow trucks up on blocks…. Tires seem to be hard to come by.
In this case their trucks operated by someone else = theft.
Normally, yes, a crime would occur. However, in time of war and certain other emergencies, and I note Trudeau created a more easily digested name for a war powers act, government can and does commandeer assets of private enterprise for ‘the greater good’.
Citizens can cooperate or the military moves in and obviates cooperation. Here, though, it appears Trudeau stated the military would not be involved. However, since he is a professional liar that could be nothing more than another lie. We’ll see!
The way to slow walk this is to use the liberals strategy, against them. Go to court and get one that will stop them from forcing the tow trucks to remove the trucks. That will buy more time and allow the protest to go on longer which is what sparkle socks doesn’t want.
Somebody put together a great ad…. Puts it all into perspective:
Great ad, “Its just for two weeks,..” Its just a protest!
Another favorite from a while ago.
Do you see it yet?

Railroadtrucker songSundown, you better take care. Really Sundown, take care.

Trudeau must think it’s a sin, when he feels like he’s winnin’, when he’s losing again
Oops. Relatively new to this site. Meant Sundance. Still works:. Sundance, you better take care. And when I say that, I mean to say that it is not completely out of the question that all of us could suffer unpleasant consequences for the mortal sins of merely viewing or commenting.
I’ll take my chances.
Any thoughts on whether credit unions are a little safer than banks? Or not?
Same rules. Not. They might use less discretion. Banks can suspend on mere suspicion you did or might. Credit unions would likely be less suspicious.
A credit union is still a regulated financial institution. They’ll be in the government’s cross hairs sooner or later.
One advantage of credit unions, particularly local, non-branched ones, is member control. Members ‘own’ the credit union and are elected to positions of governance of it and actively participate in its operation, even if not at a customer facing level. Join one, go to the annual meetings, vote on officers and get a feel for it.
I worked on loan committee at a large state employee credit union my parents were founding members of for a number of years. Really opened my eyes to how they work, good, bad and ugly. I wasn’t an employee, rather an elected volunteer.
However, as long as credit unions interface with the banking industry and are federally regulated, they’re still part of the ‘system’ so vulnerable to systemic corruption and control.
Picking a local one with a good reputation and getting involved could be beneficial, similar to getting involved in local politics. Live local, fight local, win local.
Fidel Jr. has gone around the bend.
Forcing private citizens to do the govt.’s dirty work under penalty of jail time is something he won’t recover from.
He’s going to have to resign.
Most Canadians probably had no idea they were ruled by a monster.
Now they know.
First they came for the truckers and you did nothing as you watched your fellow Canadians being marched off to the gulags because you weren’t a trucker and you’re vaccinated, but SOON, the WILL come for YOU TOO!
One thing that I’d like a conversation on is how the convoy was planned and communicated. I’m guessing that CB’s played a role. Damn smart group in my opinion. I’m very impressed.
Going low tech on communications is the way. I’m reminded of the adage about how when NASA needed a means for astronauts to write notes in space so the developed an antigravity pen. The Russians used a pencil.
Remember Nellie Ohr? HAM radio.
It WILL make a fascinating book or books,..someday.
How much was planned, how much was “Gods hand?”
What if it’s not enough to read and hope anymore?
Trucks in my area, particularly logging trucks, still use CB but also are using 6 meter HAM band for more reach. I have a base station set up with a fixed antenna to listen to them.
The HAM bands also allow for packet wireless, essentially narrow bandwidth internet-type communication.
I remember years ago posted Nellie’s license and wondering what she and Bruce were up to, him DOJ and she a spook contractor. Guess we found out.
The mask is off. Those willing to see are seeing. Keep in mind the Emergency Act was not used for 911 or the war in Afghanistan.

Why the hell do the conservatives still have masks on. They look like nincompoops.
One cannot be wearing a mask and simultaneously arguing for the “science”.
They probably have a similar Nazi Pelosi type of edict in place about wearing masks on the floor.

The Maple Archipelago
Canada has a fairly robust version of its own Siberia. Could put that to good use.
compelling work against your will is also known as slavery
can we get a canadian poc towie to file an anti-slavery lawsuit?
Of all the work to try to compel someone to do, against their will, trying to get a SEMI, Heavy duty tow truck driver (who doesn’t WANT to) to hook up and tow a Semi truck, who’s owner operator doesn’t WANT it towed is such a rediculous proposition as to defy,…words.
“If I WANTED to, I couldn’t do it, and I don’t WANT to do it. So, your going to arrest me, for refusing to do something that it is impossible for me to do?
And,…your going to PROSECUTE me, for refusing to do something that its impossible for me to do? Hmmm,…I charge $2000/ hr and when the case is thrown out I can sue you for damages, which will include lost work……O.k., heres my wrists, put the cuffs on, and take me away!”
If I read this correctly, I see an alarming uptick in the evil. Until now, the truckers were in jeopardy for a non-violent, civil disobedience. A passive-aggressive thing. IN this new announcment, specific members of a society (Tow Truck Operators) have been required to actively take up violence against a fellow-citizen. A freaky conscription to be part of law enforcement. “You hurt them, or we will hurt you.” I don’t recall anything like this in the history of tyranny.
“You hurt them, or we will hurt you.” I don’t recall anything like this in the history of tyranny.
Tyranny always uses that threat: how else do they stay in power?
They depend upon people willing to hurt others: the firing squads, the GULAG guards, the torturers, the KGB, the GESTAPO, etc. etc. all have people willing to hurt the other guy, who is “an enemy of the state” and deserves the injury, the torture, or the death sentence.
And so you ask no questions…and you eat your porridge and live!
Yes. JT is going “all in” on his approach.
To your point –

He’s taken away their livelihoods.
He’s taken away their ability to spend time with family.
He’s taken away their ability to associate with whomever they wish.
He’s taken away their ablity to use their money as they want.
He’s taken away their ability to freely travel.
He’s taken away their ablity to freely express themselves.
AND now he’s going to take away any lingering perception of their FREEDOM!
“…our lives, our fortunes and our sacred honor.”
Doubt I’ll live to see that wonderful inscription inside the Jefferson Memorial. So true. The full and last measure of devotion to this great Republic.
Beware, it’s coming. As sure as the sun sets in the west.
This tactic was used successfully yesterday to end the Coutts Blockade. 🙁
His statement is contradictory . He respects the right and freedoms and that ‘s why he’s ENFORCING the emergency Act. He ‘s channeling his inner Kim Jong Un, his father Fidel Castro,
Maybe we could see if little Kim can loan us some of his anti-aircraft guns…I understand they are good for ensuring problematic “government” types are ‘shown the way’. s/
Looks like in Quebec they will be able to big box shop w/out a minder. Go Truckers!

Venezuela to the south of us, Canada to the north of us.
And the US with deliberately porous southern borders. Makes you wonder, huh?
If a government can sieze your bank account ( steal), can deny your dignity and right to make a living by canceling the very license they issue you and you’ve paid for( tax), cancel your insurance policy they require you to have in order to move freely, force you to do labor you chose not to do….You Just Might Be A Slave.
What’s the difference between canceling insurance and bringing tow truck drivers into this? As near as I can tell they’re both private businesses that the government is compelling to do their dirty work for them.
We’ll simply get used to being outlaws and viewing soldiers of the Communist as the enemies they really are and always have been. Nothing new to me. That scum has been with us for most of my life and that’s a pretty long time.
The best way to avoid getting press-ganged is to not be around when the conscription officer comes knocking. I hope Canadian heavy tow operators are going on vacation for a month or two, with their trucks.
I’m half seriously considering offering my front yard and guest room for that purpose. I don’t know the situation in Winnipeg, and southeast Minnesota is probably too far away for tow operators in other Canadian cities.
Big sale on gone ice fishin’ signs.…………
This is what happens to freedom mixed with gun control….
Parliamentary approval is required in order for the prime minister to use this unprecedented Emergency Act and they have not voted for it yet.
Trudeau is bluffing. Again.
SB, someone posted a vid of Candice Bergen demanding a vote b taken per parliamentary rule, Castro disregarded her question and MPs started yelling at him… apparently no vote was taken. This would b a very egregious bluff
No human likes being forced. Prediction: within 24 hours of the first tow truck driver arrested for freely and peacefully refusing to assist the Canadian government there will be ZERO functional tow trucks in Canada large enough to handle an 18 wheeler.
Municipalities might have a hard time finding tow trucks to do usual towing jobs too – just sayin’.
Trudeau is getting his marching orders from the JoBoma administration. Canada is a perfect test case for them, to see what they can get away with if protests like this start in the U.S. They won’t give a rip if Trudeau goes down in flames. I’d like to see his face when he realizes he was a guinea pig in all this.
So now they can force you to work. Isn’t there a term for someone being forced to perform labor?
slave to tyrant/dictator
I wanted to howl and cry when I watched these videos of truckers being arrested. In one you can hear a child scream for his mother. Brandeau may live a long happy dictatorship but he’ll spend eternity in hell.

That was so hard to watch but it sure feels like J6 without the instigators.
These citizens are doing nothing wrong but demonstrating for their FREEDOM
which is now a crime in Canada.
Line up the tow trucks with the freedom convoy. 💯
If one watches the live streams there’s been a heavy recovery sitting next to a low boy for the duration, I believe on Wellington but would have to check the videos. Both those rigs are sacrificing a lot of income to be there, particularly the recovery. Easy six figures a month gross.
If recovery companies do cooperate with the truckers and align against the government it will be at significant cost. TBH, I doubt it’ll come to that.
Never elect liberals or democrats! When will people learn!!!! Why elect Trudeau in the first place!!!
Friskycat, there are plenty of articles here outlining how this couldn’t be done without the other side turning a blind eye and tacitly condoning it.
That happens in Canada and it most decidedly is happening in the US.
There are six things the Lord hates,
seven that are detestable to him:
17 haughty eyes,
a lying tongue,
hands that shed innocent blood,
18 a heart that devises wicked schemes,
feet that are quick to rush into evil,
19 a false witness who pours out lies
and a person who stirs up conflict in the community.
– Proverbs 6:16-19
Trudeau is immortalizing himself, becoming the poster child for the leader who lacks wisdom and instead brazenly courts the wrath of the God who both raises and throws down authorities.
Unless the truckers were ready for a full on face off with the totalitarian police state (and they weren’t) all that happened was the opportunity for the totalitarians to crush the rebellion and scare all others into compliance with the state. The only non-violent recourse would be a national strike to shut down all deliveries. But my guess is the state would strike back to imprison everyone and repossess their homes and property.
It’s far easier for the government to control the situation when the truckers are on the government’s playing field at the capital and navigating the minefield of peaceful protest.
Get out in the wild where government resources are thin, the locals know the lay of the land, are defending their home turf, excavators and backhoes are everywhere and things can go markedly sideways.
It’s one thing to push paper, quite another to actually make a move on well-defended property, particularly in the wild. Of course, some will have to learn that lesson the hard way.
The blackface Trudeau government is nearing collapse.
As of now, I feel that we have no one steering the ship. Frightening really, it’s a free for all. I’ll be protesting this weekend with my Canadian flag upside down.
Aged like a fine bottle of
winemilk……..
