The border crossing between Coutts, Alberta (CA) and Sweet Grass, Montana (USA) continues to be blocked as truckers allied against COVID-19 restrictions and vaccine passports are united.  The Alberta protests are in support of the larger trucker protest taking place in Ottawa.

Canadian authorities in the province of Alberta have tried and failed to get the Canadian truckers to back down from their border blockade.  The U.S. truckers are supportive of their Canadian allies, and both groups are united in the effort. The blockade is a protest against US and Canadian governments mandating that truckers must be “fully vaccinated” against Covid-19, which came into effect on January 15.

According to Coutts Mayor Jim Willett, about 100 trucks were blocking Highway 4 on the Canadian side, causing a miles-long backup on Interstate 15 in Montana. About 50-100 trucks have reportedly been stuck on the US side since Saturday.

In an effort to remove the blockade, the Royal Canadian Mounted Police (RCMP) have cut off the supporters who were bringing food and supplies to the truckers.   The familiar and typical ‘cut off the supply line‘ maneuver.

For those who have been following closely, the economic data releases over the past several months have been almost impossible to reconcile from a Main Street perspective.  Additionally, the scale of inflation is skewing everything that stems from dollar valuation.

CTH is certain the fourth quarter GDP statistic (+6.9%) is useless and was an outcome of several flawed metrics: (1) the import data was misrepresented and not accurately deducted (supply chain issue); (2) the value of building inventories was over calculated as an outcome of inflation; and (3) the value of all economic activity was subsequently skewed because the economic outputs (goods and services) were recorded at higher prices.

It has been our estimation that Main Street economic activity was substantially less than the data discussed by financial pundits.

Our review also sees the employment situation on Main Street as considerably less optimistic than claimed.  Bolstering that point, in a very weird and structured preview from the White House, spokesperson Jen Psaki made an odd statement today.  WATCH (14:35 prompted):

Psaki is prepositioning a narrative that employment data in January will be lower than expectations, perhaps considerably lower, as a result of “workers calling out sick” from COVID, ie. the omicron variant, during the time when employment polling was conducted.  That is a very unusual proactive narrative.

In a remarkable effort to Alinksy the voices of those who oppose the Canadian government COVID restrictions and mandates, Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau claims the truck drivers in Ottawa are stealing food from the homeless while flying racist flags.

This entire tweet thread statement by the Canadian Prime Minister is just bizarre in the extreme.

The need for control is a reaction to fear.  However, this type of lashing out, an effort to create a completely alternate reality of actual conditions on the ground in Ottawa, is indicative of a profoundly unstable person.  These are the extreme messages one would see from a person carrying pathological traits of borderline personality disorder.

Perhaps, due to the ideological nature of the echo chamber around him, this may be the first time Trudeau has witnessed a gathering of people who do not agree with his worldview.  Obviously, he doesn’t know how to handle what is in front of him.

Something is very unstable, creepy to a level of visible discomfort, in the way Prime Minister Trudeau is attempting to message to his national audience.   Put another way, this guy is losing his s**t, in public.  This level of public breakdown should be the number one story on the world stage.

In a rather remarkable doubling-down against his own people, Prime Minister Justin Trudeau took to the microphones today to denounce the protest group that threatens the institutions of his government. [Video Below] Trudeau said the group does not represent truckers or responsible Canadians.

Introducing his position against the truckers and the Convoy for Freedom, who have demanded the government remove COVID-19 mandates and forced vaccinations, the Canadian prime minister portrayed the movement as an irresponsible minority of angry protestors who have defiled monuments in the capital.

Trudeau said he would not meet with the group, because they do not represent “true Canadians,” and are not worthy of recognition.  Trudeau contrasted his prior support for the Black Lives Matter protestors and cast the Freedom Convoy as filled with “hateful rhetoric.”  He further stated they were attempting to “incite violence” and said the movement did not deserve support.  WATCH:

The smug and condescending tone in the delivery of his official position toward the protest was quite remarkable. The prime minister also warned politicians not to support this group and demanded that all supporters of the convoy reflect on their association, as the protest group is viewed by the government as hateful and without concern for the greater good of Canadian society.

CTH continues to be cautious with measured expectations around this story, because a thoroughly corrupt and politically compromised DOJ has possessed all of this information for almost a year. {GO DEEP} There will be a response.  Likely a massive, coordinated and weaponized response from the totality of the most politically corrupt DC system in our nation’s history, every branch, and their aligned ideologues outside government.

First, the preview {Direct Rumble Link}:

No one wants to join Michael Hastings, and yet that is the scale and scope of the risk inherent within this story.  The good news is that more Americans are awake to the issues now than ever existed.  We have Donald J. Trump to thank for that.

Catherine Engelbrecht is a genuine national hero, and her organization True The Vote (TTV) will be known in history long after these decades are passed.  Long-term readers of CTH also know we fully support Englebrecht and her team, we always have.

The wrong thinking “fringe minority” have raised over $8.6 million [LINK] in support of their trucker Freedom Convoy as the massive assembly protest continues in Ottawa, Canada.

The truck convoys started from British Columbia in the west, Newfoundland in the east, and Windsor, Ontario in the south.  On every highway along the journey, crowds cheered and waved support for the Truckers.  Now they are inside the capital city.

Tens of thousands of Canadians protesting the oppressive government rules around COVID-19 have converged on Parliament Hill. The demonstration is expected to continue throughout the weekend, and likely the truckers will not leave until government officials remove the COVID-19 mandates. Livestream Links Below:

After the Canadian Broadcasting Company (CBC) originally tried to downplay the size and scale of the protest, yesterday they changed their perspective to the massive protests being extremists who were supported by Russia.  Subsequently, Prime Minister Justin Trudeau was evacuated from the capital city.

Speaking to a massive crowd of tens-of-thousands in Texas tonight, President Trump declared the era of government regulation, fear and manipulation over COVID-19 is over.  {Direct Rumble Link}

...”It’s time for the American people to declare independence from every last covid mandate. We have to tell this band of hypocrites, tyrants and racists that we’re done with having them control our lives; mess with our children and close our businesses.  We’re moving on from COVID, whether they like it or not, we’re moving on.”…

During his remarks today in Texas, President Donald Trump gave a shout out to the patriotic Canadian truckers and the Freedom Convoy. {Direct Rumble Link} 

“There are far more of us, than they are of them. It’s true.  The Canadian Truckers, you’ve been reading about it, who are resisting, bravely, these lawless mandates and doing more to defend American freedom than our own leaders by far.  We want those great Canadian truckers to know that we are with them all the way; they are, they’ve really shown something.”   ~ President Donald Trump

In a brilliantly woven monologue [Transcript Here], Neil Oliver weaves the story of our recent humanity against the scale of the universe before returning to a line of lights in Canada that traverses the landscape; what has become known globally as the Freedom Convoy.

Within our current condition, it is good to note our place in this thing we call life, and as Neil Oliver eloquently states, to reflect on the one odyssey that really matters – our connection to each other.  WATCH:

…” every once in a while, I envy the jobs of others. All week now I have been wishing with all of my heart that I was a trucker. In Canada. Thundering towards Ottawa. What a grand adventure – so grand I don’t know whether to cheer or cry about it.”… Each of us has the chance and the choice to make an honest stand. I stand with that family on the move, and with those Canadian pilgrims in their trucks.”…

Apparently, the Canadian province of Nova Scotia is taking proactive steps {link} to ensure their leftist government officials are not subjected to any protests similar to what’s happening in Ottawa or other regions.

Using their pre-existing state of emergency, the “Province today, January 28, issued a directive under the Emergency Management Act prohibiting protesters from blockading Highway 104 near the Nova Scotia-New Brunswick border.” [Announcement]

(LINK)

According to the provincial government, “fines for a summary conviction under the new directive will range from $3,000 to $10,000 for individuals and between $20,000 and $100,000 for a corporation.” Additionally, “outdoor gatherings of more than 20 people are prohibited under a Health Protection Act order.”

At the same time tens-of-thousands of Canadians are rallying for freedom in the nation’s capital city, Nova Scotia says citizens will obey the government or be arrested, fined and punished by provincial authorities for their noncompliance.  Talk about a totally tone-deaf governing authority.
