Predictions on How/When This Will End?

In this very interesting discussion, Ezra Levant shares his predictions on how the Canadian Freedom Revolution is going to come to a successful end and much quicker than anyone realizes:

If Ezra is correct, I must confess that the impetus for this ending coming via an external source is one I would not have predicted but his logic seems very sound.

There is a strong counterpoint to Levant’s theory.  It’s one I’ve heard from several different sources.  Here’s a piece by Alexandra Bruce of why Trudeau or his successor will not succumb to the demands of the Freedom Protest anytime soon. h/t “J West

Finally, here’s a comprehensive analysis of all of this by Giles Hoffmann. h/t Brian

Whatever occurs, it’s going to take agreement from two parties for this all to end:

  1. The federal Canadian government and all (most?) provincial governments
  2. The truckers and other protesters

Who precisely constitutes group #2 is quite nebulous since this is a truly authentic grassroots campaign.

Several days ago, I summarized my own ideas into a two-part list of requirements that I think should be met before things end:

  • Minimum requirements that are non-negotiable
  • A list of additional things that should occur

I’ve deliberately held off on publishing these ideas because I think it’s much too early.  My individual thoughts are unimportant; it’s the ideas of those on the frontlines that matter.  But if the protesters were to ask you for your ideas on the Non-negotiable and Negotiable requirements, what would you tell them?

SDA is blessed to have some exceptionally intelligent, extremely insightful readers and commenters. Here’s one brilliant example from ‘DrD‘, only lightly edited/formatted for clarity.

The protests really boil down to demonstrating the divide in Canada between the makers vs. the takers, the producers vs. the parasites. For far too long the parasites have been getting away with murder, figuratively and, on occasion literally, and the politicians have been pandering to them whether it be at Caledonia, at the BLM protests, at the pipeline blockades or whatever “green” nonsense of the day the professional malcontents have dreamt up. Finally, the makers/producers have had enough and, as Kate pointed out recently, started to use the tactics of the parasites to poke a finger into the faces of the politicos.

Now, the politicos and their laptop industry cheerleaders are pissed. Too damn bad. You wanted to block the roads and the trucks and the pipeline workers and just assumed that those guys and gals with the dirt under their fingernails would work all the harder to get around you and get you all of those creature comforts you and your fellow parasites take for granted while you further your pet “woke” causes. Well guess what? Now those same truckers have blocked themselves and everything else that moves along those roads.  You’re starting to panic because the impact is real:

  • Not a bunch of hyperventilated headlines in a rag no one believes anymore, if they even read it.
  • Not a bunch of students having to work from home.
  • Not people having to use an alternate Starbucks for their morning coffee but real impacts:
    • Like people not getting the materials they need to keep working.
    • Potentially not getting the food to the grocery stores.
    • Not getting the packages they ordered online last week.

It’s become blindingly clear to everyone who really makes this country run:

  • Not self important journalists spewing a load of BS no one in the know believes.
  • Not bloviating politicians telling everyone else how to live their lives.
  • Not “activists” throwing a wrench into every piece of the social machinery they can think of.
  • Not air-headed academics teaching grievance studies 101

But truckers who deliver things and workers who make things and produce things. It’s becoming so painfully obvious who makes this country work that the parasites are $#!%%ing themselves because they realize that with each passing day that simple truth is becoming more and more obvious to everyone. By contrast, the naked emperor-parasites are looking ever more ridiculous. The jig’s up. And it’s about time.

The Sorriest Chapter in Canada’s History

Conrad Black: Trudeau’s wretched smear-job of truckers highlights sorry state of Canadian leadership:

The official response to the truckers protesting COVID restrictions is one of the most disgraceful political episodes in the history of Canada as an autonomous country. The prime minister’s statement that the truckers were probably homophobic, trans-phobic, misogynists and racists was an outrage that was unsupported by evidence. Instead of dealing with these truckers and the issues that propelled them across the country in a serious way, the prime minister attacked them en route as a “small fringe minority” who hold “unacceptable views.” There is no justification for any of this and polls show the truckers represent approximately as many Canadians as the number who voted for this government in September. The government propaganda machine followed with a smear job highlighting Nazi and racist imagery, though there is very little of that, and a Confederate flag-waver was led away by the truckers.

Under Whose Authority?

Something truly extraordinary happened in Ottawa sometime Saturday afternoon. In the morning, when Viva Frei walked past the National War Memorial, the disgraceful fence around it was clearly in place. But then later in the day, this video appeared in my feed:

I was listening to the retired veteran and then suddenly realized, “Wait a minute, he is standing RIGHT BESIDE the memorial. Where is the fence? Was this an old video, only published today?

I did a little sleuthing and found this:

Update: Greg Grandy has shared this video.

Of course, Global News, being the loathsome individuals they are, had to disrespect the veterans – and they damn well knew these folks were veterans – by adding the tag line: “Protesters from the so-called “freedom convoy” in Ottawa have torn down a fence that had been put around the National War Memorial to protect it from further desecration.”  In the same way that these media elitists have taken for granted Canadian truckers & farmers, is there any doubt that they place military veterans in the same bucket labeled “Deplorables who were too stupid to get into McGill, the U of T, or Ryerson” like me & all of my enlightened friends did?

You can watch in real time as the Fake News Machine spins this event in the most negative possible way to hurt the Freedom Protest.  Does any member of the legacy media really still wonder why everyone rightfully hates them?

The National War Memorial was placed there to honour these Canadian veterans who removed the disgraceful fencing today, and even more so their buddies who gave the ultimate sacrifice. The fencing wasn’t placed there  to “protect it from future desecration”.  It was added as a “prop”  to cast aspersion on tens of thousands of freedom protesters in Ottawa, and millions nationally.  Anything to keep propping up The Narrative™.

One has to believe that these same veterans will be guarding the memorial in shifts 24/7 until this thing is over. Will the legacy media be sending soy boys over to scold these veterans for unlawfully removing the fence? Will the OPP be sending out petite policewomen to hand the veterans notes about how to correctly conduct themselves in a protest? Will Peter Sloly and Diana Deans be sending heavily armed shock troops against them?!?

Finally, as you’ll see in the bottom video, the problem is not with the vast majority of frontline police officers.  It’s with their incompetent, power hungry “leaders”, who are taking orders from the politicians, who are taking orders from . . . we’re not entirely sure but we can certainly guess.

Update: A legacy media newspaper actually dared publish some truth about what occurred:

Conversely, last night’s national CTV News broadcast w/ CTV News with Sandie Rinaldo suggested otherwise, completely lying to the Canadian public (@ 4:30) stating “The War Memorial, dedicated to Canada’s war dead, treated with disrespect again”.

What is the Canadian media’s definition of respect? Why are they blatantly lying to the Canadian public?

Live from the Ambassador Bridge

Related: Ezra Levant has tweeted an important callout to all blue collar workers but something “very peculiar” is going on with his Twitter account.  Here’s a temporary screenshot of what he posted:

Update: Amnesty International has been bought off. Here’s their Woke press release, chalk full of lies. Might Justin Trudeau and Jagmeet Singh have written it? Asking on behalf of millions of Canadians who want their freedom back.

A Letter from a Father to His Adult Children

In the mail from an old SDA’er:

Dear Kids

We are starting to see significant rifts in the opinions of MPs who, only a few weeks ago, were totally united in their support of a never-ending state of emergency.  We all know that it’s the grassroot protests headed by the truckers that is making them tilt; it is not, as they claim, that the ‘science’ is starting to change.  Some of the smarter ones have sensed a change in the political winds and are worried that their futures are at stake.
 
To a greater or lesser degree you are all sick and tired of the endless lockups, boosters, masks, passports, job losses, travel difficulties, and other useless and counterproductive restrictions on your freedoms.   This will be your one chance to contribute to the process of reversing all this tyranny …. and it is tyranny.  And if it is not reversed, well then, you ain’t seen nothing yet!
 
Not everyone wants to attend protests – and I understand that.  But you have the easiest form of protest available at your fingertips: your keyboard.  I have made the argument for the last twenty or thirty years that the number one reason our rights and freedoms diminish is because Canadians are too (pick one) lazy, or comfortable, or stupid, or cowardly to let their elected representatives know that they are being watched.  We want to believe that all that is necessary for democracy to survive is an X on a ballot every four years.
 
So do your bit to get some sanity back.  Email your respective MPs and MPPs and Council representative – tell them (whether it’s true or not) that although you have supported them and their Party in the past, you will not support them in the future unless they immediately open up your Country/Province by eliminating all Covid restrictions.   That is all you have to say.  Put your name at the bottom and hit ‘send’.  You can find their contact info with a simple Google search.
 
I can’t stress enough the importance of doing this NOW.  If you want to live in freedom, you have to work for it.
 

Love, Your Old Man

Tom MacDonald vs. Justin Trudeau

More people with more video recording devices need to get to Ottawa to protect the Freedom Protesters. If Trudeau’s henchmen cut off cellular service, then start recording directly onto your phones.
