  1. This is clearly misinformation, how can this be a mostly peaceful protest without looting and burning down city blocks?

  2. I can’t help thinking that things are about to get dicey. The obvious approach used initially was to try and play it down and label it as a small vocal minority of malcontents. But, that’s not going to float. Generally, when it reaches this point, the control efforts kick in (arrests, accusations in the press, planting informants etc.) Only, that’s not going to work either, because the movement in general is ABOUT control. So, what do the powers that be do? They can’t let it fester because the above happens. It spreads.

    So, yeah, something is going to happen soon. And, it won’t be capitulation.

    1. Sadly, I believe you are right. Justin, his cronies, and his employees – the media, the RCMP, politicians in general, etc., etc. will put a stop to this. Indigenous and climate change enthusiasts blocking highways and work sites are the only protests worth having.

    2. What options does Chrystia have?

      Order the boys in Petawawa to come to Ottawa and open fire on Canadians? Beg Uncle Joe to send troops north to do it for them?

      Suppose you were the soldier who got the call from an audibly inebriated deputy PM screaming at you to “do something about those fucking Zionists.” What would you do?

      If you had any integrity or common sense, you’d respond: “Ma’am, those are Canadians. We’re not getting involved in domestic politics.”

      1. They have a Catch 22. They need to put it down fast because the longer it goes, the emptier the store shelves get. I think they had anticipated letting it go on a while and counting on those empty shelves to turn the public against the truckers. Only, a funny thing happened…regular citizens lined the roads and bridges in support.

        Sadly, I think this pushes the control freaks into a corner that results with violence. So, yeah I can see them throwing some plants into the crowd…initiating violence…leading to (as you say) opening fire on Canadians.

      2. I have friends who served, some recently, and their read of the Armed Forces is that it would be a split decision. The CAF has been pussified and politicized for far longer than the US military.

        Were the order to come down to fire on Canadian citizens, it could go either way and then we’ve got Romania 1989. Which I’m increasingly believing is the only route out of the current stalemate.

  3. The government will announce that a phased return to normal is their objective in 2022. These protesters will ask for that in writing with a timetable. The government will say that’s not possible (since they don’t plan this anyway, right?) … so it will turn into Chicken Ottawa instead of Chicken Kiev.

    The odds favour the government. There’s a reason why most revolutions take place in the summer.

    I don’t know what constitutes a win for the protest movement. COVID either doesn’t really exist at the level of severity claimed and/or won’t go away, we all know that most of the deaths claimed are deaths from something else but with a positive test for COVID, what does it really mean? Maybe a bit of everything, both sides are partly correct.

    A lot of people out there wouldn’t join this protest but want the situation to get back to normal, however they expect the route to be “experts saying things are now okay,” and I don’t think experts are going to say that, because most people in the expert or elite class are leftists and this whole thing is really about setting up a controlled society for a number of reasons. Many do not understand or believe this. The only proof of it of course is when the mandates never go away but gradually change to mandates for other reasons (such as climate emergency, widespread taunting of trannies, the near extinction of the horned owl, the scourge of Islamophobia, general angst of snowflake twenty-somethings). Who knows what ten reasons are being prepared to maintain this illusion of danger, risk and the need for Aunt and Uncle to take over the journey to utopia?

    (Aunt and Uncle are out front in BC because Big Brother has better things to do).

    1. Peter; ‘Daily Confirmed Cases’ have fallen off a cliff, Worldwide…

      Where’s the logic in intensifying restrictions when other countries are dropping all their restrictions? Surely even the dyed-in-the wool progressives are getting tired of this crap…

  4. Missed Regina for some reason. Several thousand people, at least, and 100s of rigs. Was epic.
    MSN did the Stalin treatment, no coverage or very little.
    We were there. They can’t lie forever.
    It’s over. No masks, no mandates. Stand up and be counted, you glorious unacceptable bastards!

  5. I want to see more premier’s coming on board and getting rid of the restrictions for unvaxed and the passports. Quebec and BC will be the last give in, but let them be the holdouts. The rest of us are ready to move on. Ford should see that most people that supported him favour getting rid of mandates.

    1. Quebec and BC? Quebec, yes, but BC has been relatively slack compared to many jurisdictions. Are you thinking of Manitoba or Ontario perhaps?

      1. Correct. BC has had a relatively lighter touch; bad even still, but nothing like the insanity in the East. Unfortunately we’re seeing lots of Quebec licence plates around, which means many of them will stay and vote like they usually do (hey, is dere a Bloc Quebecois candidate in da Strathcona?)

  6. Don’t expect Fat Kenney to help. He was sucking up to CTV condemning the protest at Coutts,AB.

  7. I am actually surprised the Librano’s were caught so unawares by this. They are getting cornered, and that is when dumb decisions get made. If the internet goes down in Large parts of Canada, worry for the crowds in Ottawa, that is when the brownshirts will move. If blood get spilled, all bets are off. Canada doesn’t have the military to even begin to pretend they can stop what comes next.

    1. They got caught off guard because they got fat, stupid and lazy from being chronically drunk with power.

      1. They got caught off guard because they got fat, stupid and lazy

        …because the owners of the Libranos also own all the corporate media, the banks, all the other parties, and everything else that can be bought with a fiat currency created by a central bank they control.

        But they don’t own the independent truckers. The plutocrats mistakenly think if they don’t already own it, it’s not worth buying.

    2. Just look at all the Trucker protests around the world now. The movement has EXPLODED.

      Made in Canada, go figure, eh?

      I mean, just look at all the Unacceptable people, and ALL the Fringe!

      Thanks CASTREAU!

    3. A cornered rat is a desperate rat, and these rats have never made a wise or reasonable decision. However due to the sad state of Canadas military and the ongoing plan of destroying the most senior officers thru difficult to defend accusations. Who knows what could happen should the orders come down from the grade nine class Turdeau calls a cabinet.

  8. Is Justine still “in hiding”? Maybe writing his “retirement”vspeech in crayon while piddling in his Che Underroos…

    1. Justin is hiding in a closet… in West Point Grey Academy… possibly accompanied by a 13 year old.
      CBC has no comment as of yet.

  9. The worlds watching Canada now and are inspired – dope boy won’t dare spill our blood. I expect some sort of step backs announced publicly but they’ll find other draconian ways of punishing us; as if they haven’t had their fill of that already.
    They’re supporting us in Bolivia of all places – but you won’t hear that on LSM.
    I got kicked off twatter for telling the truth, but still on FB for now.
    Keep getting the truth out, anyway we can.

    1. Isn’t that something, when you think about it. The trudopian government oft sites its own actions as ‘world leading’, but that’s always propaganda and Liberal media BS. The world doesn’t GAF what Trudope says and does, regularly. He’s a zero in world affairs.

      But THIS! A Made in Canada, grassroots, organic movement and protest, of Ordinary Joes and Normies saying ENOUGH!

      and yes, THE WHOLE WORLD IS WATCHING. Canada. Its been a hard 2 years, but, WHAT A GREAT TIME TO BE ALIVE. A lot of us have been outright questioning our future in this country. This weekend gives me a ray of hope that maybe, maybe, there might yet be hope that this country might yet be worth saving. One day at a time

      1. Indeed it is Dan; – one day at a time. Onward, ever onward.

        Brand new accounts on FB – clamoring that: Oh noes!! Ok this is enough now; it’s over – don’t make it inconvenient so that my fresh produce is interrupted… They are not being well accepted as to what this protest is all about. These guys CAN gridlock this whole area (Ottawa) – and if that’s what it takes – I’ll run meals and water to them by foot if we have to.

        1. These guys can gridlock this whole country if they are organized, Ottawa is no big deal that would take less than 72 hours if all truck traffic was halted. Any SOB that worries about his delivery of fresh produce while approving what Turdeau has done to this country, and wants to continue to do can get real hungry as far as i m concerned.

          1. Tighten up supplies in Ottawa… okay.
            But the Lieberal bastion of Toronto could use a little tough love as well….

      2. Dan

        I am again feeling proud to be Canadian. It has been a long time since I felt that way.

        1. “Made In Canada..”
          I’ve suddenly fallen in love with that label….. sniff, sob.

    2. Thanks for that update, Idd; it’s tough to keep up. I agree with your assessment re violence, or rather lack of it.
      Nobody on our side wants it.

  10. Thanks, Robert. That made my day. I had recently almost given up hope.

    Fringe minority, my ass.

  11. 
    I used to fly a Canadian flag outside my house. During the Trudeau WE scandal and the SNC corruption case I took it down when absolutely nobody was arrested, charged or tried. The only person to lose their job was Canada’s first female aboriginal justice minister who was fired by Trudeau. I was disappointed in my country.
    Then covid 19 hit.
    Things got worse.
    The true colours of the mendacious media, the pusillanimous platitudes of our politicians and the baseness of the bully bureaucrat all colluded to try and break the spirit of Canada. They tried to make us all fearful, make us think we were alone. They almost succeeded.
    This past Friday morning I
    went to the north west corner of highway 9/27 in Scomberg,On. It was -20 and windy, a typical cold weather winter day in Canada but the sun was shining.
    There were about 60 people there with Canadian and Ontario flags along with signs of support for the truckers. I met a couple from Allison, On., a lady in from Wasaga Beach,On., a young couple who recently moved to Schomberg from Toronto, a store owner, a retired fireman, 2 local tradesmen with young families, a police officer and others. They were all friendly and smiling, encouraged by numerous trucks and cars honking in support.
    These people were not racist, violence prone supremacists. They were ordinary Canadians who want the mandates, lockdowns and bureaucratic control to end. They want their kids back in school with extra curricular programs, the hospitals to deal with heart/cancer/ mental issues that have been put on the backburner during covid, for business owners and consumers to be trusted to look after their own best interests without the useless red tape and details of the bureaucrat and the ad hominem attacks from partisan politicians and press on their character, religious or personal views.
    I also must also commend the conservative MP Pierre Polievre. He notes that the press will scrape through the social media of people on the right politically (never the left it seems) to find one person with which they can disparage the whole group, in this case the truck convoy.
    When I went home on Friday afternoon, I thought about what I saw and felt. It is this simple the truck convoy represents the resilience of Canadians and their hope for the future.
    If this is Trudeau’s minority fringe who are to be shunned and disparaged in true 1984/Brave New World fashion please sign me up.
    God speed to the truckers and Canada.
    Mike Murphy
    p.s. I am going to put my flag back up on my house.

    1. I worked in and around the communities you mentioned, in the late ’70’s, highway work.
      Moved out west 1980 but the mention of those towns caused a bit of homesickness, even though I’m actually a military brat.
      Everything has changed, but the convoys certainly fertilized a national pride I haven’t experienced in a LONG time.
      Maybe the cross country drive this fall, 8000 km round trip by car, kicked in this old Canuck heart. Brought some Lake Superior rock, and amethyst home.
      There is still hope I guess….

  12. And in other news, the Transport Minister is apparently doubling down by contemplating vaxx mandates for interprovincial trucking. At Captain Spineless’ orders no doubt. Castreau is that sort of petty and vindictive, like most cowards.

  13. No masks, anywhere. Done.
    In that small way you will show more support than donating to a go fund me.
    Do it. It is in our court now, no matter what happens in Ottawa.
    Throw them out. No compliance.
    If you can’t at least do such a minor unacceptable transgression to the state… go back to your f ing basement and diddle your internet.
    Stand up now!
