Coutts Blockade

[AlbertaFarmer5]

These people initated the blockade but the RCMP will end it with all tools necessary. The Border access is a Federal responsibility all options are open.

If your scenario plays out. How do you expect the average hard working moderate center silent majority Canadian to respond?
The people who have been indifferent to vaccine mandates and lockdowns. Don't have any blind political ideologies.
When they watch military take down of some unarmed fellow Blue collar Canadians, and destruction of their livelihoods, do you think they will truck and go back to watching their hockey game, or will this galvanize them against such heavy handed dictatorial type actions. It may just unleash something much much bigger than what they are trying to quell right now.
And remember, those unfortunate folks in the Ottawa apartments downtown are 100% reliant on all of the hard-working Blue collar Canadians to keep them alive, the opposite is most certainly not true. These people hold all the cards. The threat of unifying the silent majority (which the political class has worked so hard to divide) has to be the biggest possible concern of any government actions.

There is a slow roll and blockade at Emerson agstarr, why dont you head down with your equipment and help the RCs clear it.

I am sure you would be very popular.

it is law enforcements job to keep the border open. Two wrongs don t make a right.

[AlbertaFarmer5]

There will be hundred of trucks to move and hundreds of people to arrest and everyone has a cell phone. By Sat there will be hundreds more. You think farmers or tuckers are going to let our effeminate military impound millions in equipment without a fight. Good luck.

And do you think our economy can function in its already crippled state when you imprison the most productive members and impound the equipment that makes the world go round?

The threat of Unifying ha to be the biggest possible concern of any government actions.

Too late for that. This weekend will tip the scale permanently.

There are little kids in the protest now in Ottawa.

The police wont touch it. The military wont either.

AOC tweets her support for the blockades - a bit surprising, but true!

"The whole point of protesting is to make ppl uncomfortable.

Activists take that discomfort w/ the status quo & advocate for concrete policy changes. Popular support often starts small & grows.

To folks who complain protest demands make others uncomfortable... that’s the point"

Ah yes, Alexandria it appears to be growing. Although it may not be your preference of protest since there's been no fire or bloodshed - just civil, intelligent efforts at dialogue.

At least, on the protestors part.

Dlm, a question.
Since we live in a democracy with freedom of speech, do you think there is such a thing as an unacceptable view? And do you think the prime ministers comment in any way helped to unite the country against this Fringe minority group?
And if there is such a thing as an unacceptable view, who gets to decide that?
Is it fixed in time, or does that evolve as society evolves?

Thank you unemployed anti-vaxxxer Trucker convoy here's somebody else not to happy with your illegal protest.


"In a joint statement Thursday morning, Alberta Beef Producers (ABP), Alberta Cattle Feeders' Association (ACFA) and the Canadian Cattlemen's Association (CCA) called for a timely resolution to the blockade and the restoration of the essential supply chain."

So what do you have to say now Keyboard Freedom Fighters.

Let's hear it from all the Spin doctors with their political Fluff answers.

There are other border crossings. They aren’t land locked.

Just like our oil had to do when Trudeau blocked it off. Nobody cared then. Use the trains. Lol.

So your extreme views are normal across Canada?

I'm not the one sitting in a truck knowing full well with hospitals at highest level of patients since the pandemic begin asking to make it worse isn't going to happen.

Yes, my extreme views that 10% of the population is clueless and only because they are white they are getting away with it for longer then anyone else is normal across Canada.

I highly doubt there will be any military involvement. Hope it wouldnt come to that. But AF5 I suspect more of those "indifferent" middle ground citizens will be flipping to the "throw the rednecks in jail side" each day that passes costing them tax dollars and impacting the economy. It's a fine line with a slippery slope both ways. Really an impossible solution for any of the governments or leaders to navigate.

You are some kind of nasty. The highest unvaxxed rates are in ethnic minorities. And shocker elitist academics.

Give the natives and BLM shit for not getting vaxxed. Whites have the highest rates. In Africa vaxx rate is like 10%. Those racists.

Facts don’t quite fit the narrative now do they.

Gdr this week end will set the tone. If the protest grows organically it will be a different game come next week.
