February 6: City of Ottawa declares state of emergency. Nothing changes. February 11: Ontario declares a state of emergency. Nothing changes. Today: Trudeau expected to invoke Emergencies Act. Will anything change? Doubtful.

@Travisdhanraj – #UPDATE: The First Ministers Meeting will be for a briefing & discussion on the blockades and take place at approx 10 am tomorrow @CBCNews has learned
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:
The people removing the fence that had been put around the National War Memorial appeared to be veterans.
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?
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™.
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?
Hey Justin & Jagmeet, it’s not clear whether this lovely young woman is a racist, misogynist, homophobe, transphobe, Islamaphobe or Nazi flag owner. Since you two seem to have special decoder rings to determine such things, could you please inform all of us stupid peasants in what ways we’re supposed to hate her? Asking for some friends. Millions of them.
Mila, illuminated and mysterious, was a creature beyond this time. She wanted to be a midwife and she would have been a glorious one. When COVID hit, our part of the world, Ontario, Canada, imposed some of the most draconian and aggressive measures of anywhere in the world. A couple of weeks to flatten the curve, right? Initially, like almost everywhere and everyone, we obliged.
Schools were closed. It was near the end of Mila’s grade 11 year then. There were no classes online at that time. A mad scramble ensued to get these kids some sort of education. Eventually, schools tentatively opened for some. We had the option of keeping her home or sending her in. She insisted on going. For the next few months, and into the fall of her graduating year, schools opened. Then schools closed. Then schools opened. Her friend group shrunk considerably. Most parents abided by the “no socialising” rule. There was really nowhere for them to go anyway. Theatres, live music, restaurants, and even places like bowling and the roller rink were closed. Instead, the dwindling friend group that Mila was a part of had random, clandestine meet-ups—in a friend’s frigid barn, or someone’s basement.
It is harder and harder for my anarchist mind to understand how a person can watch police stopping people from keeping warm in a Canadian winter and not regard them as the enemies of basic human decency. https://t.co/bLx00jTLvW
Milk River was the Wild West today. 350 horses, tons of people, talk of provocateurs, cops coming in pedestrian vehicles. It sounded like it could have gotten dicey but absolutely nothing but Freedom happened! pic.twitter.com/26Yf1iDvzz
Update, from Kate: Jack Posobiec has tweeted that the Christian fundraising site GiveSendGo.com has agreed to start hosting donations for Freedom Convoy. I hit “Bad Gateway” server issues when connecting there, and that’s to be expected if they’ve been inundated with requests — or DOS attacks — so be patient.
Here’s the link to get a refund if you donated through the GFM pirates. I thought from the outset that it was a terrible choice.
Francisco- You might need to be patient but it looks like there’s ways of getting your money back and sending it to the new fundraising site.
There is no word yet whether Justin Trudeau has called Finnish PM Sanna Marin to tell her that the Finnish protestors are racist, white supremacist, xenophobic deplorables.
As of this morning, $10 Million has been raised to support the Truckers’ Protest against the Totalitarian Measures of the various governments throughout Canada.
Except for ego, what is stopping Trudeau, Singh, O’Toole, and the 10 Premiers across Canada from following in the recent footsteps of England and Denmark? Our politicians can’t claim to have been the first but they most certainly can claim to have listened to the people and acted accordingly.
“The Honking Will Continue Until The Freedom Improves” #MapleLeafRevolution
Since the beginning of the #MapleLeafRevolution, I’ve started subscribing to a bunch of YouTube channels I’d never heard of before. What’s coming out of them is beyond amazing and extremely informative. This one caught my eye:
It’s all too easy for the urban elites to chuckle amongst themselves and dismiss the truckers as uneducated rubes. All this actually does is expose the ones blabbering as selfish, hateful ignoramuses who don’t look at their fellow Canadians as equals in any which way. Watching this video above, it’s all too easy to focus on the gruff way they talk and assume this equates to a low-IQ. Listen a bit more carefully and you’ll quickly see that these guys are very clever and exceptionally pragmatic. They’re also sincere and noble in their righteous cause.
The Ottawa politicians and their legions of overpaid minions, all handsomely compensated through the hard work of PRIVATE SECTOR Canadians like these gents, haven’t yet figured out what they’re up against. Ask yourself a simple question: In an emergency, would you rather have one of the guys in these trucks there to help you or a Soy Boy Wokerati?!? This scene from Good Will Hunting pretty much sums up this battle of wits.
Matt Taibbi:As the country again prepares to go to war with itself, this time over a high-profile trial, a bigger story goes unnoticed
On the day the Rittenhouse trial began, the financial data firm FactSet released an eyebrow-raising report about the Covid-19 economy.
The firm noted that companies in the S&P 500 were set to post a net 12.9% profit in the third quarter of 2021. They pointed out this was the second-highest result since the firm began tracking the number in 2008.
The only better result? The previous quarter, i.e. Q2 2021, when net profits sat at 13.1% overall. These results track with the true great story of the pandemic era, which not-so-mysteriously hasn’t made the news much, while Americans have been tearing each other’s faces off over issues like race and vaccination policy: the massive widening of our already-obscene wealth gap.
Way back in 2020, the media could bully Republicans into denouncing their own supporters. But this time Republicans won’t do it. Media scolds are baffled. Their powers no longer work.
