  5. I will now wait (AGAIN) for Canada’s “media” to do a deep dive on the evil organizers of YET ANOTHER PROTEST…

    “…protesters blocked southbound traffic on the Ironworkers Memorial Bridge and Highway 1 near the Horseshoe Bay ferry terminal during the morning rush hour… protesters sat in each of the three southbound lanes of the bridge between North Vancouver and Vancouver shortly before 8 a.m., blocking vehicles from getting through.”

    “(Protest organizers) Save Old Growth has been blocking roads and highways intermittently since Jan. 10, the group’s self-imposed deadline for the government to take action to stop old-growth logging in B.C…. warning that the spring protests will see a “level of arrests and disruption in the city and province that will be unprecedented in British Columbia.”

  7. As some Convoy protesters make some noise and get a little too drunk, lets have a look at what some real “professional protesters” are up to (who’s motivations are, miraculously, never subject to Canadian “media” scrutiny)…

    “Protesters (calling themselves the Rainforest Flying Squad) have used social media to raise over $1 million to date,” wrote the three-judge panel in a unanimous decision last week. “They make use of the internet to recruit individuals for specific tasks such as camp support, obstacle construction, transportation, and occupation of obstacles.

    “They have a command-and-control network, a communication system to co-ordinate their activities, a transportation network, and dedicated construction areas and supply camps.

    “They use drones to surveil the police and have used helicopters to resupply their camps.”

    “… digging trenches in roads, sometimes at cliff edge, which impede emergency vehicles and put roads at risk of collapse.”

    “… chain themselves into ‘sleeping dragon’ devices, which are sometimes encased in concrete, embedded in a metal box, fortified with metal hazards, barbed wire or spikes, and filled with dry oats to prevent police use of scoping cameras.”

    “… they suspend themselves “over roadways, and over and under bridges in tripods, bipods, and cantilevers.” They armour these with railroad spikes or chicken wire to prevent RCMP from using tools to dismantle the tripods from the bottom.

    “Some tripod-sitters place nooses around their necks with climbing ropes, chains, and bicycle locks. One protester locked himself to a tripod with his face close to an array of nails, so the nails would injure him if an arresting officer touched him.”

    “Then there are the “tree sits” in structures suspended high in the trees.
    To extract these protesters, specialized RCMP officers must climb the trees or conduct an aerial removal using a helicopter and a line hoist apparatus.”

  9. Hello to all Saskatchewan SDA readers. If you have any friends or relatives working in the Potash industry, this may be of interest…

    “For nearly two decades, long freight trains laden with reddish-brown grit (potash) have rumbled into Lithuania’s main port on the Baltic Sea, providing an economic lifeline for Aleksandr G. Lukashenko, the autocratic president of neighboring Belarus. That lifeline is to be cut on Feb. 1 after a decision by the Lithuanian government to halt the wagons carrying Mr. Lukashenko’s biggest source of cash: potash fertilizer for export to Europe and beyond through the port of Klaipeda.”

    “Canada, the world’s biggest potash producer, will also gain from an expected surge in prices…”

    “Nobody here is pro-Lukashenko, but everyone worries most about Russia,” he said. “There are very complicated geopolitics at play with potash.”

    1. I was walking back home yesterday when I saw what I considered to be bizarre. A mother was pushing a stroller with, presumably, her toddler seated in it. Both were wearing masks.

      It makes one wonder about people…..

      1. “Never again will you be capable of love, or friendship, or joy of living, or laughter, or curiosity, or courage, or integrity.
        You will be hollow. We shall squeeze you empty, and then we shall fill you with ourselves.”

        1. Prinz Dummkopf may as well have told us that we, the Great Unwashed, are no longer alive and are permitted to exist at his pleasure for whatever purpose he had in mind for us.

          1. “All beliefs, habits, tastes, emotions, mental attitudes that characterize our time are really designed to sustain the mystique of the Party and prevent the true nature of present-day society from being perceived.”

            I think I will stop now. I’m becoming even more depressed.

      2. BA, the mask insanity continues. One basic thing that is always ignored, is, if a mask is dense enough to stop a virus, everyone wearing them would be unconscious from a lack of oxygen, hypoxia.

        1. Incorrect. A military gas mask will stop a virus, and we had to do 5km runs wearing one with full kit and an FN held over our heads in the 80s. Only the women in our GMT troop passed out.

    2. I saw that some time ago. It continues to haunt me. One need only watch that video to be struck by how misguided our lockdown policies have been. The psychological damage will be long lasting. In past pandemics, exposing children to a virus has been key to herd immunity. Thanks for posting this eye- opening video.

      1. Interesting. Who are these “allies” who kept turning away? The Brits did declare war on Germany when Poland was invaded while the Russians joined with Germany to divide up Poland. In 1944, the Russians sat and watched while the Warsaw Rebellion was brutally suppressed and then moved in.

        1. So yes, all you said is factually true although a lot more context could be added. Here, the song specifically refers to marginal support Warsaw Uprising received from all sides. For example the Polish Airborne brigade that trained in UK was denied air drop over the besieged city largely due to Stalin’s unwillingness to share the airfields for a return flight of the transports. But there were constant pressures from the Brits on Polish government in exile to ignore what was happening in Warsaw in the summer 44. It got so bad that the allies were making contingency plans in case Polish Second Corps revolted in Italy.

    2. It’s worse than that. Pilecki was indeed a true hero of WW2. Pilecki exited from the death camps bringing out photographic evidence of what was going on as early as 1942. The Allied nations had all of this evidence at least by the time of the 1943 Casablanca Conference. For reasons best known to them, they decided to keep it top secret and concealed from the public and from their own soldiers. Hence, the American, British, Canadian and French soldiers were entirely unprepared for the horrors awaiting them in places like Bergen-Belsen. The had no idea of the places of vast extermination, because Auschwitz was in Poland and captured by the Soviets.

      There’s some aftermath to Pilecki’s arrest and execution. Poland did not readily surrender to the Soviet Union. The war by the Polish Home Army went on until about 1960 supported by the Polish government in exile in London.

    2. If true and if Watson is as obtuse as I think he is expect a plea to the federal government to bring in the military with MRV’s.
      Unfortunately (snort ), an MRV does not have the capacity to move a semi, and after the way the military has been treated it’s very likely a lot of the lower ranks and NCO ‘s would suddenly start having covid symptoms.
      FJT

      1. I would not be surprised if they all needed to isolate due to loss of taste and smell, who knows they may even develop long COVID…. and that despite that they were told to get vaccinated or fired… damn it is a one nasty disease. Well, here it is to their health. Stay safe boys and don’t rush until you’re fully recovered.

        Let’s go Potato.

      2. Another bothersome detail about using military and police against civilians.
        This isn’t a third world country where you drop of a few thousand troops, murder the locals, and then hightail it back to your safe zone.
        They have to live among the locals, as do their families.
        Civil wars are never pretty. People die. Women and children die. The innocent are usually the majority of fatalities.
        No, the police and the military would be wise to sit this one out. The truckers are not the enemy, and people who use SUVs and passenger cars as their prime method of transport, should keep that in mind.
        Never piss off a driver of big rigs. It’s not a even contest.

        1. You think Watson is bad (and he is. You’d be right to believe he is one lie-beral POS), just you wait until you see who will replace him. McKenna, Fleury (not Theo), and the worst of the lot, Deans… all have declared their candidacy to replace him, and all are radical left-wing nut jobs.

      4. From Watson’s comments, it is clear that he is quite hostile to the protestors. I don’t think he realizes how much support for them there is in Ottawa. I think he is just doing the bidding of his Liberal pals.

      5. Don’t concern yourself about Watson. No one in Ottawa takes him seriously. That little bitch has voted himself out of office, as he is mostly responsible for the disaster which is the Ottawa LRT project. Rather than face the fury of the voters, he’s running away. He knows that his chance of re-election is that of a snowball in a furnace. There are literally dozens of wannabes squabbling over who will succeed him – some tolerable, some truly dismally stupid.

        Even the Ottawa police are openly contradicting the little fraud, by their observing that the truckers have been entirely law-abiding and that violence has been minimal. A friend of mine who lives six blocks from the Hill tells me every day that he has been able to move around without difficulty. Anyone living in Ottawa knows that there’s no small business in downtown Ottawa inconvenienced by any of this. All there is in downtown Ottawa near Parliament Hill is a lot of half-empty office towers.

  15. Premier Scott Moe blinks.
    Mandates to END. Looks like Feb 28.
    https://youtu.be/DojvefRlkwo
    Reporter cries out. “Where is Dr Shahab?
    Why isn’t he delivering this info? I asked drop speak to him today”….
    Well done sir. Well done.
    My question is Did Premier Moe threaten to enforce vax mandates on Sask Healthcare workers?
    At this point they aren’t as far as I know.

    1. Vax passports gone asap.
      Masks end of month
      27 minutes in. He’s talking monoclonal antibodies. Paxlovid as therapeutics to reduce hospitalization.

      29:50 Reporter asks why not remove vax passports today??

      2. Could be the word ‘freedom’.
        The way the Canadian media’s faces twist up when they have to say it is pretty incredible.
        It’s like they bit into a donut filled with fresh dogshit or something.

  18. Gee, I just checked the OFA (Ontario Federation of Agriculture) website and I couldnt find one word about the trucker protest or how turdo’s Border jab mandate was affecting Ont. agriculture. Nothing under Issues; nothing in Newsroom; nothing in Viewpoint. Strange eh?

    https://ofa.on.ca/stream/ofa-viewpoint/

    1. Where does OFA get its funding from? Federal government?
      Don’t rock the boat. Don’t cut off the gravy train.
      Cowards.

  19. For your enjoyment, have a listen to this new song composed by a young Canadian named Trista Suk. She sang a bit of it to Viva Frei who reported yesterday from the Trucker’s rally on Parliament Hill. Lucky Viva… he was visibly enchanted. You can find more of her songs online, she’s just getting her mojo started!

    1. That won’t happen. Russia needs to sell the gas for the overseas revenue as much as Europe needs the gas to stay warm and keep the lights on. Germany is even more vulnerable than before because of its moronic decision to close the last of its nuclear plants.

      What it means is that when Russia moves against Ukraine, Europe, particularly Germany and the United States, will do nothing. The notion of Russia ever tolerating Ukraine as a member of a hostile military alliance against it is simply too stupid for words. And we Canadians are idiots for allowing our soldiers to be used by Trudeau and Freebase as a good-as-dead tripwire.
