In a statement, United Conservative Party caucus chair Nathan Neudorf said no such agreement has been authorized. He said a meeting of the UCP’s rural caucus scheduled for 4 p.m. Wednesday is not to discuss lifting the REP, which requires patrons at certain businesses to be immunized.

“ As (Premier Jason Kenney) has stated , Alberta will begin lifting restrictions very soon, likely within days, starting with the REP,” Neudorf said.

I do agree with you big wheel. If government gives in to their demands, it sets a dangerous precedent that basically becomes mob rule.
Except there is one huge difference. All the other groups who have protested in this country haven't got a dime to rub together or an asset to seize and if they stay indefinitely the productive members of society won't even notice their absence.
This group of people are business owners and hard working, vital to all aspects of the economy and daily life.
They have everything to lose. If they get sued or if their trucks get impounded indefinitely or damaged, they could lose their business. Contrast that with the typical paid protesters, what would the police do impound the skateboard they rode in on?
These folks do have the ability to cripple the entire country by doing nothing but going home, as they ae being asked to do.
The vaccine mandate may have been the straw that broke the camel's back for some of these people. But there are a myriad of other poor policy decisions that will surface once they realize they do have a voice.

Let's assume that this does escalate. Trucks get vandalized, or impounded, people go to jail or get injured or worse. During what was already a crisis in the trucking industry, that will only make it much worse having even more drivers and trucks out of commission. Supply chain disruptions will cause real hardships.

On the opposite end of that spectrum. Say antifa comes and camps out in Ottawa to demand an end to all resource extraction. And if they all end up being arrested and their skateboards broken, do you think commerce will come to an end in this country?

You are underestimating the opposition to this
If it’s going to be a fight I guess it will be I don’t
Need more money I m good to go so are all
My neighbours.

What price is democracy worth? Because
That’s what is really happening here which is why
The go fund me will be investigated that will tell
Us lots what’s going on here.

I ll bet there was money exchanged to get
Rid of o tool by the same people.

And you must be totally joking if you think
The natives couldn’t rock the system even more.

Coles notes?

Your loosing it.
Check your meds.
No good for your health if you try to skip.

LOL how do you expect them to get home now? Guess the occupation continues.

Some might be living there free room and board
And some might be driven back here free of charge
So no worries. Those trucks can be confiscated
Under terrorist laws.

I wonder which community out west is going to
Want to be under siege from this group and hurt
Financially because of it.

These fools don’t know what they’re playing with.

This is just the pre fight warm up in AB. Realigning alliances.

If this can galvanize people to a cause just wait until Trudeau tries to legislate oil production.

For all the communists on here: Jason Kenney was given the nod by those who voted for him to govern the province along the lines of the desires of the majority of the province who voted for him> This did not include imposing upon us the agenda of the new world order. The truckers in Coutts are merely doing the job of calling our employee to account. So if this is what it takes then the one out of line is Mr Kenney. That is how it works. Thank you truckers.

Oh right, I forgot you're illiterate. That is the coles notes.

I m just hoping no one innocent gets hurt
And these people are the ones putting
That risk into play. Especially with the whackos
That are a part of this.
Wouldn’t want to be them or anyone associated
If that happens.
Guns were found on one now so please if
You have influence over anyone involved with this
This isn’t the way!!!
