Coutts Blockade

[agstar77]

Be careful of criminal charges boys (assault, resisting arrest, obstruction of justice). Do not say a word-notta word unless it is recorded. Protect your own names with silence. You don’t want to ruin your lives and the lives of your families. That’s my fear for my friends who are fighting for our rights and freedoms. Tom, you remember the name? (Andy McMechan? maybe, name escapes me, spent long, lonely jail time when farmers tried to take a few loads of wheat over the border). They’ll make an example of a few protesters -should be legal council out there.i remember this poor farmer from Manitoba and don’t want history to repeat.

Actually he was a trucker so history repeats itself.

Jazz , you want the country split up.
Are you going to split Alberta too?
As you can't even agree with Kenny.Edmonton or Calgary.
Your national ambitions or expectations
Sound like a hutterite colony

Jazz, the police or army are not going to end this.

Agree. Limited shelf life.

Point has been made both ways. Nothing more to gain.

Country should split up.

Jazz, the police or army are not going to end this. It is going to be public backlash. It is already happening in Ottawa. Truckers there have finally pissed off Grandma. 3 elderly woman stoood out on the road way and blocked the trucks from driving by their neighborhood. And that has prompted more public backlash. #GoHomeTruckers is now trending in Ontario. Trucks are being pelted with eggs and paint. And you think the cops are going to help truckers now. What support the convey had is rapidly being replaced with public anger. Again, all due to no organization and no exit plans by truckers.

And the same thing will happen at Coutts. The public will have finally had enough and they will be the ones taking action against truckers in the convoy. It wont be eggs, it will be blockades of the homes and farms and business of those blocking the highway. People will say if you won't let us drive public highways why should we let your wife and kids at home drive on roads or why should we let feed or fuel trucks into your farm yards or why should we support your business or let others in to your businesses if you wont let our suppliers support us. And what will the truckers be able to do to help their wives and kids and protect their farm yards while they are miles away in the middle of some blockade. I fear the backlash will be worse than the blockades.

Now that the truckers will spread their joy in Toronto and the 905 suburbs where there are more votes to scare away from the Conservatives, they might as well be campaigning for Trudeau!

But I agree with chuck for once, these demonstrations have a short shelf life unless they get organic growth from the general population. France had yellow vest protests for a year before covid and now 29 weeks since covid and it didnt change a thing in that marxist hellhole.

Legault changed course because he saw Quebecers protesting.

Need to see if the truckers can attract more to the cause this weekend if not, she is a wash.

[jazz]

Face it chuck, you will love to see some truckers taken away in cuffs just like those terrorist farmers that tried to sell wheat at that port 30 yrs ago.

I care exactly zero for Toronto and Ottawa. They gave us this, they can take a little heat back.

The longer the protests and blockades go on the further support for them falls.

When Doug Ford and Jason Kenney are telling people to go home you know that the vast majority of people are not supporting the blockade.

Its really hard to argue for freedom when you are taking away other peoples freedom by blocking streets, highways and border crossings.

But the extremists who think public health policy should be decided by the same people who would block hospitals and harass medical health officials and now block streets and highways will learn a hard lesson.
