Alberta provincial head Jason Kenney held a press briefing today attempting to give the impression that state vaccine mandates would be lifted.  However, the truckers were smartly not hoodwinked by the highly political move and instead moved back into a hardened position to blockade the Coutts border crossing.

Holding a press conference to make his announcement [Full Video Here], premier Kenney said, “We cannot remain at a heightened state of emergency forever. We have to begin to heal, and so Alberta will move on. But we’ll do so carefully, we’ll do so prudently, we will do so only if it does not threaten the capacity of our healthcare system.” Kenney then outlined some softening to the covid restrictions.

Provincial rules that require students to wear masks in Alberta schools will end on Monday, and children under 12 won’t have to wear masks anywhere starting then.

Kenney stated a provincial work-from-home order will expire on March 1, along with the provincial mask mandate.  At the same time, the limits on social gatherings and students being permitted to be in non-socially distanced proximity with other students in schools will be removed.

However, while Premier Kenny said the vaccine passports called ‘Restriction Exemption Program’ (REP) would be eliminated at midnight tonight, the QR codes check-in gates would continue; vaccine requirements will remain; vaccine discrimination can continue by private businesses with government support; govt healthcare workers must still be vaccinated or get fired; entertainment venues would be allowed to sell food & drinks again (but customers must be seated); and rules on closing times, alcohol service times, table capacity in restaurants, and social distancing would remain in place.

Liberal MP Joël Lightbound lightly criticized some of the stances of Canadian Liberal Prime Minister Justin Trudeau on Tuesday.  Within hours, the peer and party pressure upon him led to his removal from his position as Chairman of the Quebec caucus.

Lightbound encouraged the Trudeau government to provide targets to lifting restrictions; he was not implying that public health measures should be lifted immediately. He also committed the cardinal sin against COVID by asking for epidemiological data behind restrictions to be published, so people can see the information determining what measures need to be in place.

Transparency is against the interests of those within the government who weaponize covid fear.  The Liberal MP also spoke about the ongoing anti-mandate protests that started as a response to cross-border vaccine mandates, saying that messaging amid the demonstrations is dividing Canadians.  WATCH:

“I fear that this politicization of the pandemic risks undermining the public’s trust in our public health institutions. This is not a risk we ought to be taking lightly.  I have enough respect for my fellow Canadians not to engage in these easy and absurd labels.”

The response was immediate and severe.  There can be no dissent from leftist orthodoxy.

CTH has been waiting to write this because we first needed to see how both wings of the Uniparty vulture in DC were positioning.  Now, with clear vision, eyes wide open and clarity of focus the issue must be centered.

How are Americans going to respond when Washington D.C, the Fourth Branch of the security and surveillance state, and all the institutions of the United States government, officially declare that Donald John Trump will not be permitted to run for office?

If you have not thought about that question, we had better hurry up and get that conversation front and center.

It’s about to happen, and President Trump knows it.

The specific phrase, “They are so desperate to hide the truth, they’ll make it criminal to speak it,” does not only pertain to the election fraud.

The Ottawa Freedom Convoy protests are exposing too many hypocrisies of the leftist Canadian government and their faux conservative opposition.  It is only a matter of time before both wings of the Federal UniParty vulture known as Parliament sanction an aggressive federal response.

An insider within the Royal Canadian Mounted Police (RCMP), essentially the Canadian federal police force, has leaked some of the details.  The leaked plan as outlined in this video warning {Direct Rumble Link} does seem to be authentic and aligns with the statements from federal ministers inside the administration of Prime Minister Justin Trudeau.  [Unfortunately embed disabled]

Previously Ottawa Police Chief Peter Sloly said his agency was working with RCMP officials “collecting financial, digital, vehicle registration, driver identification, insurance status and other related evidence.”  Additionally, Justin Trudeau’s Public Safety Minister Marco Mendicino stated that U.S. and Canadian intelligence units had been cooperating to identify targets within the protest.  Federal agents have also been working undercover to gather information about the truckers and their supporters.

From the video of the leaked plan, the process is straightforward:

♦ Disable cell phone communication. Prevent communication and livestreaming.
♦ Add additional resources to raid the truckers, selecting key targets first.
♦ Remove arrested individuals to the Landsdown processing center. Dissident Detention Camp.
♦ Multiple Agency coordination including RCMP, POU, and local police departments.
♦ Timeline between now and Friday.

Something has changed in the past several days.  Likely the private COVID fear polling continued to show an overwhelming number of Americans are just done with the constant COVID-19 fear porn and mandates.

Today, several states including New Jersey and California announced they were dropping their mask mandates and many COVID-19 regulations.  In the past week there appears to have been a big shift in the narrative.  To highlight that point, the biggest fear porn and mandate seller on CNN, Dr. Leana Wen, completely reversed her position, and said it’s time to let people make their own choices.  WATCH:

Notice also how there’s been virtual silence on any further White House efforts to push the booster or vaccination program.  Last we saw the booster compliance effort, it was less than 50% of those who were previously vaccinated.  There’s definitely been a change in narrative engineer pressure for more COVID pushing overall – vaccinations, regulations and/or masks.

Last point, Zach on Twitter had been searching for a video for quite some time that he just recently found again and shared.  It’s a video of Dr. Leana Wen from several years ago.  It really makes you stand back and think.  The video is very weird.

Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau reappeared in Parliament this evening.  The timing was transparently predictable when contrast against the urgency, and state of emergency the local government declared Sunday to get rid of the freedom protestors.

Exactly on cue, Trudeau appears to clutch his pearls, tell the people of Canada that he understands the “frustration” of the few but appreciates the “overwhelming majority” of Candian citizens who love him and support his COVID policies, despite their being “tired of the pandemic.”  Those who followed the rules and worshipped at the altar of his magnanimous COVID leadership are “the real Canadian voices” Trudeau declared.

Trudeau continued by saying the Canadians who “stepped up, to support one another” express the true meaning of being Canadian.  The protest group are a hate-riddled minority of unclean “swastika” waving outsiders, walking around Ottawa “insulting and jeering” local residents “for wearing a mask.”

Trudeau told the chamber, the protest group “is not the story of this pandemic.”   He accused the protest group of “attempting to block the economy” without regard for their collective responsibility to “support their fellow Canadians.”  WATCH:

CANADA – […] “The protesters in Ottawa are “trying to blockade our economy, our democracy and our fellow citizens’ daily lives. It has to stop,” Trudeau said Monday night in the House of Commons.  “The people of Ottawa don’t deserve to be harassed in their own neighbourhoods.” (read more)

Good grief, when the leftist government in Canada gets pushback, they really don’t know how to handle it.  Earlier today, the Canadian government expressed extreme anger toward any American citizen who may have made a financial contribution to the Freedom Protest. {CTV}

Reading from a prepared statement, Justin Trudeau’s Public Safety Minister Marco Mendicino stated the Canadian government intends to target any American who may have donated to the Freedom Convoy protest effort.  Apparently, the Canadian government wants to scare Americans away from donating to support the Freedom Protest in Ottawa.  [Full Presser Video Here]

Minister Mendicino identified the Ottawa protest group as a “violent”, “hate” group.  The Ottawa truck drivers were described as an “angry, loud, intolerant and violent crowd,” who “threaten the national security of Canada.”

Following his outline of the violent mob, Minister Mendicino switched his targeting to the donors who have supported the Freedom Protest, saying that Canada has a “robust” intelligence community that will flag for the Trudeau administration all concerns of national security, as well as a separate branch within the RCMP that looks into these types of issues.

“That’s why I’m certainly confident that wherever there’s foul play of the sort, that we’ll be in a position to act appropriately,” said Mendicino.  “If, for example, someone was contributing with the intent of either causing public harm or trying to undermine public safety, that would be something that would be against the law, and there would be appropriate sanctions for that, if proven in the court of law,” he said.

The crowdfunding website GiveSendGo issued a press release today [FULL HERE] outlining their intent to stand by the people who organized the Freedom Convoy in Canada.

Within their statement GiveSendGo says they have been in contact with the organizers, and the supporters of the Freedom Protest had raised $4.5 million in 24 hours.  This is the largest crowdfunding campaign they have ever supported:

(Press Release) –  BOSTON, Mass. – GiveSendGo stands for hope and freedom. We recognize the freedoms we have are God-given, not authorized by governments, but rather freedoms that ought to be protected by our governments.

GiveSendGo does not condone violence of any form! We believe there’s more power in the unity of a peaceful protest than in violent civil unrest.

As in any polarized situation, we recognize there will be a few individuals and groups that might intentionally try to incite violence, which will be used to stain this movement by opposing groups. We will not broad stroke those individual situations as a depiction of what this movement represents as if they were affiliated.

GiveSendGo has also been in contact with the campaign organizers and has received full assurance that all funds raised will go to provide humanitarian aid and legal support for the peaceful truckers and their families as they stand for freedom.

“In light of allowing this campaign we have seen an overwhelming outpouring of support from across the globe,” said GiveSendGo CoFounder Heather Wilson.  This has quickly become GiveSendGo’s largest campaign ever and has raised over 4.5 million USD in less than 24 hours. (read more)

A judge in Ontario has issued a 10-day injunction against honking in Ottawa.

CANADA –  Ontario Superior Court Justice Hugh McLean has granted a 10-day injunction to prevent truckers parked on city streets in downtown Ottawa from honking their horns incessantly.

McLean said Monday the injunction is temporary because he needs to hear more evidence, but that he has heard enough to make this ruling as a protest against COVID-19 pandemic measures continues to paralyze the national capital around Parliament Hill.

[…] McLean said he heard enough evidence that the continual blaring of horns was having an effect on residents that their right for “quiet, if we can use that term,” trumped the honking truckers’ right to protest.  […] the court is slated to hear more evidence on how the injunction will be enforced.  (read more)

Trucks and Geese hardest hit.

Video from Ottawa shows heavily armed tactical police units move in to take fuel supplies from the Canadian Truckers during their Freedom Protest.

Let this serve as yet another example of how police units will respond to carry out the orders of government officials regardless of what laws, limits or duties ordinary citizens may project upon them.

When told to load YOU into the cattle cars, or fire upon any resistance effort, every single police officer will follow orders; and they will execute those orders with extreme prejudice, without distinction for constitutional limitations.  In the era of COVID compliance, all police officers are jackboot security agents of the authoritarian state.  Conduct your affairs accordingly.

The fuel supplies were confiscated by tactical police officers, loaded into government trucks and removed from the area.

We waited to post this update to see if any resistance voice would come from within the Canadian government.  Do you see a single voice of political opposition?   No.  That should answer every question.

As we saw in Poland circa 1981, the only tyrannical resistance that is likely to be successful (in the long term) is a full worker strike in the same manner as the Solidarity movement.  Until the governing elites, and their political supporters, feel the same level of pain as the ordinary working class felt during the lockdowns, do not expect anything to change.

Stop cooking, cleaning, serving, assisting, delivering, facilitating or supporting the lives of the people within the ruling class.  Shut it down. All of it.  Shun, isolate and ridicule those who are guards for the totalitarian state.  Then, perhaps, things might change.
