Coutts Blockade

[chuckChuck]

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!

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.

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.

Agree. Limited shelf life.

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

Country should split up.

[sawfly1]

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

Actually he was a trucker so history repeats itself.

The smart truckers left yesterday from Coutts. Can you imagine the legal troubles those farmers tractor/truck drivers that ran the blockade yesterday will be facing?

Maybe today they will see how many rights they have to an attorney. Maybe tomorrow.

Your right Tweety. But I would be more concerned about the financial risks they took on. By running the police line, everyone of those farmers/truckers have invalidated their insurance policies. Any damage they cause, or is caused by their equipment, or if their equipment/trucks gets damaged will not be covered by insurance once they entered a police barricaded area. Don't believe me, check you policy or ask your agent what happens if you operate any vehicle in contravention of police orders. Should they be sued should someone gets injured, there is no insurance coverage like there would be if someone would get injured on your farm. It has the potential to cost a farm his farm. Somehow i doubt rebel media or crowd funding will cover lawsuit costs/settlements.

Mayor of Coutts has only received one death threat. So I guess these people are not that bad.

I see alot of requests on different forums to send in the military.

Does anyone remember when trudeau said this classic to a veteran asking for help in a townhall?

""""" you are asking for more than we can give """''

The military , if anything, should help the protestors and tell Trudeau to GFH.

No military, just a D9.
