I don’t have time to dig into the details right now but here’s the main clip from Doug Ford’s press conference.
My guess is that its going to wind up being another symbolic gesture but we’ll see.

Ford needs to end it all. The psychological operation tactic being used is a temporary release before another restriction. In short, when the people complain, give them a carrot for a bit of time, then hit them with another more restrictive stick. It is still all about control. So while I would like to rejoice that Ford might have seen the light, I doubt it very much. The game is still on and we don’t control the board yet.
National General Strike Until Trudeau and the Fake Conservative Premiers Are Gone
Canadians Have A Short Mmory. Trudeau Serves at the pleasure of Jag’smeat and the BQ. He is their love toy.
Let’s be clear, Ford, Turdo, etc cannot NOT act with everything they can to win. They must do absolutely all they can even if it means illegal orders, they WILL DO IT.
They know what they have done for the last 2 years will land them in court for years at the minimum (personally in court) if exposed, they know it will likely get them in jail for a very, very long time and if people are pizzed enough maybe hanging on the end of a rope. So they are afraid of that.
More importantly, they are NOT the bosses. Their bosses do not follow laws at all, at least not any national laws. Their bosses don’t take kindly to failure. The carrot and the stick applies to Ford and Turdo much more than Ford/Turdo are trying to apply to us. Behave and they are in ‘power’ with money, misbehave and people go missing.
I don’t subscribe to Ezra’s view that this can end peacefully, these dictators are going to go out with a bang and try to provoke or fake a sufficiently violent response to justify shooting.
Stop appealing to our ‘leaders’ and start appealing to their minions, take their power structure away. It is the only chance for a peaceful resolution.
I agree with Watcher, Jagmeet is weak and can cave, he would be an easier one to flip than many liberal MPs.

It goes like this:
2020 “STATE OF EMERGENCY!!!” We are in Control!
2021 “ANOTHER State of EMERGENCY!!” Maybe…
2022 ” I said State of Emergency!!!…Can you hear me? Is anyone listening? Hello?
So $100,000 fine per incidence, revocation of both personal and commercial drivers licenses ( undetermined how long or if permanent ) and up to one year in jail.
Seems pretty harsh.
Could be worse, maybe add a beating or 2, pepper spray in face, some broken bones, shot, solitary confinement in jail, maybe civil asset forfeiture, cancellation of Insurance and bank foreclosure of the truck loan or lease.
All fun and games until you do it to the wrong person with nothing to lose.
Your Lone Wolf scenario.
Hope you understand that boys and gals at CSIS, keep pushing.
CodexCoder …
Agreed , but with Ford reacting to the Ambassador Bridge issue by declaring an emergency it will only worsen the situation. If he was onside with freedom he would have come out and declared the COVID sham over.
I grew up in that area and crossed the Ambassador Bridge many times. It is a very congested entrance/exit at both the Windsor and Detroit terminuses . On a good day there is always a backup . A new bridge under Harper was announced for that very reason. If the truckers want to blockade the bridge , it is easy , since the blockade can originate in two jurisdictions either the US or Canada.
If you are going to pick a fight , do so where the terrain favours you … the Ambassador Bridge is definitely not that place.
My old stomping ground too, grew up south of Windsor.
My dad, and many in our town worked in Detroit.
No question the economy depends on that Bridge, and the Tunnel to a lesser extent.
Mediocrity on parade. He should be forced to resign. He has no answers, except more of the same, so he must go. In the name of decency, he must go.
A pretty effective way to stir up a hornet’s nest. I hope he’s not surprised if more hornets come to protect their own.
It wasn’t a bold prediction but still a gargantuanly stupid move.

The reporting on this was minimal, but McGuinty granted Toronto Police war-time powers during that summit. It allowed police to arrest and detain anyone for anything. Hardly any blow back and the dumb voters put him back in office. I think Ford is dumb enough to do the same.
And rarely reported is that there were no “war-time powers” for McGuinty to enact! He had no such authority.
In fact, Ontario Ombudsman André Marin’s report focused on the G20 regulation passed by the McGuinty government at the time which left the impression they could be arrested merely for passing by the summit security fence without identification.
The province and police did not acknowledge until after the summit that the regulation amending the Public Works Protection Act applied only inside the security perimeter. The regulation “amounted to martial law in Toronto,” Mr. Marin said, and was “the most massive compromise of civil liberties in Canadian history.”
Methinks if they try such rubbish again, all hell will break loose. These fascists just never learn.
“the most massive compromise of civil liberties in Canadian history.” Trudeau/Ford/Kenney/Horgan/etc collectively said “hold my beer”
when they start affecting the elites, that’s when Government reacts. Drop the mandates and all this goes away. Why is Ford doing Trudeau’s dirty work?
I don’t know how to react other than to say he is an asshole. And I voted for him and gave him money. NEVER AGAIN
Ditto on all you wrote.
Ontario Bob …
When Ford was elected , I had hoped he would govern as he seemed to promise during the short election campaign. As soon as the COVID restrictions were introduced , the first hint of his behavior was revealed when he labeled anyone who disagreed as “Yahoos”.
1. Ford comes from old money , so unless there is some hidden agenda , it is hard to see how he could be influenced by money , but not impossible.
2. More likely Ford is motivated by power. He easily bludgeoned his caucus into submission and any dissenters were ejected from the Party.
The odd part , is that if Ford’s motivation is power , he appears weak on most issues. Even for a truly dumb politician , one look at Israel or Malta COVID infection rates should indicate the vaccines are not working , so what does he do ? Double down in league with Trudeau.
https://www.worldometers.info/coronavirus/#countries
If he was a strong leader committed to freedom , he would have today announced a total removal of COVID restrictions and champion freedom. That would have given him significantly more power than the emergency declaration which is likely to inflame the entire situation.
I think things are going to get ugly. CTV News had some professor from Ottawa, Chemba?, who was really nasty, commenting on what Ford’s announcement meant. He was adamant about far right protestors must be isolated as they are the danger. A real commie IOW.
Yup, $100,000 fines will go a long way to guarantee his re-election, won’t it?
Why didn’t he just stay out of it and let Trudeau take the heat?
And just like that, Fat Bastard takes the lead in the race to become the most despised politician in Canada. I hope he’s lined up his post-government job because come election time, he and his treasonous party are out. Gone. And hopefully wiped so completely they lose official party status.
I knew he wasn’t going to announce a !vaxxpass elimination today. That was Psyops 101.
One OPP officer in Ottawa assigned to “police” the Freedom Trucker protest registered his support for the protestors by using his OPP cruiser as a “carnival ride”.
“An OPP officer was using his marked cruiser like a “carnival ride” for demonstrators as he worked in the downtown Ottawa protest zone, according to a man who recorded it on Thursday.”

That would have perfectly fine on “Pride Day”
Time for a general strike! What they gonna do? Arrest people for staying at home.
Yes. General strike. High school kids too.
And all of this because governments want to force experimental medicine into people.
Don’t know if anyone else has picked up on this, but here are two bits of information that might tell the tale.
First, the British Medical Journal….
“Unacceptable delay
Pfizer’s pivotal covid vaccine trial was FUNDED BY THE COMPANY AND DESIGNED, RUN, ANALYSED, AND AUTHORED BY PFIZER EMPLOYEES. The company and the contract research organisations that carried out the trial hold all the data. And Pfizer has indicated that it will not begin entertaining requests for trial data until May 2025, 24 months after the primary study completion date, which is listed on ClinicalTrials.gov as 15 May 2023”
And this….”Pfizer added new and peculiar items deep in its business risk disclosures re: clinical trial data, today in its Q4 earnings. (1/3) “…risks associated with…further information regarding the quality of pre-clinical, clinical or safety data, including by audit or inspection;”
Governments are playing with fire.
Just wait till people figure this out. I’ve been saying for a while that we are going to see leaders and faceless civil servants have their day in court, as defendants. Complaints have been lodged with the ICC as well.
Oliver Cromwell, dismissing Rump Parliament – 20 April 1653, London, England
It is high time for me to put an end to your sitting in this place,
which you have dishonored by your contempt of all virtue, and defiled by your practice of every vice.
Ye are a factious crew, and enemies to all good government.
Ye are a pack of mercenary wretches, and would like Esau sell your country for a mess of pottage, and like Judas betray your God for a few pieces of money.
Is there a single virtue now remaining amongst you? Is there one vice you do not possess?
Ye have no more religion than my horse. Gold is your God. Which of you have not bartered your conscience for bribes? Is there a man amongst you that has the least care for the good of the Commonwealth?
Ye sordid prostitutes have you not defiled this sacred place, and turned the Lord’s temple into a den of thieves, by your immoral principles and wicked practices?
Ye are grown intolerably odious to the whole nation. You were deputed here by the people to get grievances redressed, are yourselves become the greatest grievance.
Your country therefore calls upon me to cleanse this Augean stable, by putting a final period to your iniquitous proceedings in this House; and which by God’s help, and the strength he has given me, I am now come to do.
I command ye therefore, upon the peril of your lives, to depart immediately out of this place.
Go, get you out! Make haste! Ye venal slaves be gone! So! Take away that shining bauble there, and lock up the doors.
In the name of God, go!
I liked the quotation so much, I sent it in an email to the Fat Fascist Ford. Good work.
Fat Ford wouldn’t get the biblical and Greek mythological allusions.
FlubberDoug is preparing for carnage. He is stupid and spineless enough to not see that he’s heading for a huge fiasco.

Little known fact about Goering ” One of his first acts as a cabinet minister was to oversee the creation of the Gestapo”. And what did we see earlier today? A uniformed OPP officer visiting and cautioning a Peterborough resident who had the temerity to visit a Facebook group about the Freedom Convoy.

Escalate! How do I help?
ALL of us in the streets. Ottawa, Toronto, Montreal etc. With kids in tow (it’s a lesson of democracy in action). They want to get rid of truckers? We are all truckers now!
Ford can no longer be supported by true conservatives in Ontario. Is the New Blue Party (link below) the alternative for disgruntled conservatives? It is worth a look. They certainly will get a lot of conservative votes in the June provincial election, and that will likely guarantee a Liberal or NDP government, which will be worse, but not by much, than Ford’s PCs.
https://www.newblueontario.com/
Nope, General Hillier gets my vote…
I have no doubt that Ford believes his own bluster will make him look tough. What he expects the police to do with these new powers, I’m unsure – but I suspect he really thinks that the cops will start walking up to the truckers in their cabs and start issuing them five & six figure fines. Then get warrants for their arrest, and then the cops go start hauling them out of their trucks by force – won’t that be a great piece of footage for the news?
He’s pissing all over what should be a core constituency. Has he always been dumb as a bag of rocks or has he lost his mind over Covid?

My letter to Premier Doug Ford on the Ontario website:
https://correspondence.premier.gov.on.ca/en/feedback/default.aspx
“Why are you saying you’re
wanting to open the borders now, as compared to a month ago and even now, when you continue to close the border to truckers and any Canadian who is not fully jabbed? There is no medical reason to continue promoting the jab. As a Canadian, I demand you respect the Charter of Rights and Freedoms. Only when the border is open for all Canadians will the border be open.
PS I tried to follow up with a phone call, but the line is busy.
Try to place a call and have your say 1 416 325 1941
There were two choices for government:
1. Restore citizen’s charter rights, human rights, civil rights, medical and bodily autonomy
Or
2. Take away more rights
Government chose option 2 by going after givesendgo and enacting yet another state of emergency. I think they’ve chosen poorly.
You have to wonder what’s behind their absolute refusal to restore our rights. Many European countries, who rank higher on various international indexes, have dropped all restrictions because the pandemic has ended. Why is the federal government and some provincial governments continuing policies of discrimination, segregation and oppression? Why won’t they engage in dialogue and negotiation with those who merely want Canadians to regain all of their rights?
They were told not to, they are not the ones in charge.
Agreed Frenchie, The WEF are the ones in charge. These evil politicians including Ford, are all on the WEF’s payroll.
It’s because canaduh is “organized” top to bottom with a system that coddles and rewards mediocrity. That’s why union mid-wits “earn” six figures, and why a vapid dingbat like Bonnie Henry can become “BC’s Top doctor” even though she clearly can’t tell a sphincter from a larynx. Then when their mediocrity is exposed, they naturally turn on those doing the exposing, because they know deep down they don’t deserve to be in the positions they managed to slither into. Aggression is the only play they have left. They certainly aren’t going to think their way out of their predicament.
I think it’s more insidious. It’s a blatant form of corporatist government that has zero respect for the rights of Canadian citizens.
Because entire political elite is for WEF’s Great Reset doctrine: reducing us-all to zeroes. “You will own nothing and you will be happy”
Since we have to submit to mandatory jabs, we don’t own not even our bodies. Our children are not ours either.

I just sent him my thoughts. It was kept civil but the angry tone was maintained.
My note reiterated that it was bad government policy they brought us to this situation. Bad policy took our freedoms and livelihoods. This is all on government not on the truckers.
He’ll probably cry to Kenney to have me dealt with.
The announcement was the opposite of what Ezra Levant received. His source sounds like a double agent. Reporting on us and disseminating false information back.
Tell Ford what you gleaned from his tirade. Keep it clean and free of four letter words but make sure it is clear to him this is all because of bad governance not the truckers.

Maybe, just maybe, Pierre Poilievre will provide a real alternative to the existing government elite:
“Conservative leadership candidate Pierre Poilievre says he is “proud” of the truckers and stands with them.
Poilievre also says he blames Prime Minister Justin Trudeau for the situation, which is paralyzing critical infrastructure at the border.
“I’m proud of the truckers and I stand with them,” Poilievre said in an interview recorded on Thursday for next week’s episode of the Postmedia podcast Full Comment with Anthony Furey.”

At the provincial and municipal levels, governing and opposition are on board with dealing harshly with the proles.
Trudeau is cancer now so the Uni Party has released their golden calf Pierre..
Same globalist coin, LibCons…
So in response to protesters demanding our freedoms and liberties back Fat Ford decides to take away even more freedom and liberty. We call it what it is tyranny, fascism he’s bowing to his rich masters. They abused us for two years, verbally abused us using the media as their mouth pieces but the minute they are subjected to the same treatment they invoke the right to abuse us even more. Enough, why don’t we pick a date, at the eleventh hour on said date we all remove our face muzzles and chant “We will no longer comply”. There are to many of us to silence if for once we unite to fight our oppressive leaders of all stripes. I hope the people form a human chain around the protesters, make the stasi look into their eyes when they drag off the peasants.

Good friend wrote me about the impact of the mandates and lockdowns after listening to the video of the leader of the Truckers.
Thank you Dave. He really laid out the truth of the matter. What leader doesn’t talk to his people? They also have a line up of doctors who are asking the government to send their health officials in so they can have a debate about the mandates, vaccines and lock downs. Unfortunately, there has never any debates during the past 2 years, only censorship of any views that do not follow the narrative.
I am so grateful to these people. As much as we have protected Polly and Caspar from this as much as we can they have lost so much of a normal childhood. Caspar has never had a birthday party with friends, both children have been denied extra curricular activities, no play dates, deep fears of pulling their masks down in school, etc, etc. On a developmental stage, children unable to see friends and teachers mouths are developing speech impediments and the inability to read facial expressions that could have a lifetime effect. Trudeau and our leaders have not once addressed any of these issues and simply have a blanket statement of “get vaccinated”. And to what end? They have 6 boosters lined up for every Canadian citizen. And more vaccines to come for any side effects from those boosters (eg. Myocarditis). Which we will have to take once we lose our bodily autonomy.
I lost my grandmother (in June) and a dear client this week due to the vaccine. My heart just breaks over it all.
Rachel
So true! 5 and 6 year old children do not know anything else. Older children have suffered also, my 10 year granddaughter cried for hours when the covid rules changed 2 days before her birthday party and I could not go to the event (single mother, I’m kind of the only man in her life). It broke my heart when she got mad at me and told me where to “stick my stupid vaccine ideas” (It must be dusty in here, *sniff*). Thank goodness she seems to be warming up to me again. Regardless, I fear for the psychological damage younger children growing up in this atmosphere have suffered. So so sad!

Sent an email to Doug a few days ago. Started with there was only one other time that I felt compelled to write to government. And that was Dalton and the start windmill/solar fiasco asking if ANYONE had done a cost/benefit analysis. So, with this latest announcement, I am compelled to write another email to Doug, so I guess that now makes him worse than Dalton? Never thought that would happen when I voted PC in the last provincial election….no more! By the way, I was at the Hill yesterday and if you can you must make your way there. It is an energizing experience. We are not alone. GO TRUCKERS!!
If this convoy was ever limited to a “fringe” minority … your government is doing everything in their power to guarantee it becomes a vast majority. A HUGE majority of Canadians fighting for their FREEDOM.
The government’s actions are proof positive they have NEVER intended to EVER remove their medical surveillance and mandates. Ever. The Canadian government intends to make this “Health crisis” … permanent
That b@$#@rd.
We know who he takes his orders from.
In Paris armoured vehicles are rolling in. As I’ve said…they’ve come too far to turn back now, they’re playing for keeps.
Notice how there’s no more talk of Omicron or whatever. It’s all about punishing and brutalizing citizens. They forgot their own story.
Like Button
One crisis at a time …
The police will abandon old cruisers in places where they have cameras set up and then light them on fire just like G20.
Guard the abandoned vehicles.
Dear Truckers: We Canadians insist you are not Canadians. But remember we are above all, a inclusive country. Canadians don’t act or talk your way. Real truckers are 90% vaccinated working hard every day. You 10% truckers and all your supporters can go eff yourselves. Understand that Ontario is “open for business”. You truckers are causing us great business and economic hardship, you know, jobs / paychecks and you will be put down. Now you westerners in Alberta / Saskatchewan, are not open for business. We do kill your pipelines, oil and gas, investment and we are coming for your oil sands, jobs / paychecks and all. Be advised we are not done yet. There will be no emergency declarations for you. You dirty, polluting, carbon spewing people can eff off, while we use emergency declarations to continue making parts for all those carbon spewing vehicles we detest. This is how Canadians think.
Who is “we”? Is “we” your pronouns?
No.
That is how you think
And of course in accordance with your principles, you’re not going to buy or use anything delivered by those evil truckers, right?
I do believe the foregoing was sarcastic satire.
Always remember the (sarc.) tag.
/sarc off. My bad.
Whoops. I really wasnt sure!
Stepping back for a moment, I have to ask: “so what’s the emergency”?
Fat Doughie is furious that the proles no longer support his lavish lifestyle. That is the emergency.
Well fat Ford makes it official.
The Conspiracy Theorists were right once again.
To keep their State of Thuggery,our political leeches and parasitic bureaucrats will declare perpetual “Emergency”..
Claiming that we have no due process,natural rights nor freedoms..but that they, while being above the law,are to be protected from civic retribution,by the very laws they have declared null and void…
Evil and Stupid are the same beast.
There is no cure for Stupid..
So Ontario is in a State of Emergency,so what?
Carry on.
Did anyone tell these bloated fools,that if everything is an emergency,nothing is.
I read this idiocy as “Provincial Government Declares war on citizens.”
Does anyone know if the Ontario Government voted on this?
And can we get a list of all those who voted “Aye”.
Fools and Bandits,with delusions of adequacy..Too stupid to run while they can.
When everyone who participated in the Caledonia insurrection gets a $100,000 fine, I’ll start to take Ford seriously.
