    What about farm equipment? I've never been through Coutts, is it farmland on all sides? Could bona-fide farmers drive tractors etc across the fields and get right up to the parking lot? To bulk up the numbers and block any access to tow trucks if it goes that far? Bring in food, fuel and supplies.
    I'd hope the owners of that surrounding land would be asked first and be OK with that thought otherwise you're no better than what you are fighting against.

      Front line RCMP hate Treadau.
      He never supports them and basicly thinks most can be replaced by social workers.

        Hmmm, The Inconvenient Truth, the border blockade will make it a bit inconvenient, push-back for mandatory vaccination.

          If the property owners are okay with it, then not only would it be effective to roll farm machinery in, but the organizers should be making a phone call that would see about 200 more trucks in and blockading the road out a beyond the law enforcment.

          If they object, then part of the negotiations would include letting them out a over the course of the day.

            So where are all the law and order types now that their fellow mal contents are illegally blocking a border and highways?

            Truckers trying to do their jobs and the businesses they are working for are not happy about the blockade.

            Do these protestors not have jobs or work?

            The cops want to deescalate in order to prevent violence, otherwise they would start with arrests and towing the trucks.

              They've reached the point of negative returns as far as public opinion goes. We'll see if there are enough functioning brain cells in the blockade to find a way out.

                Isn’t Coutts the same port where chuck and his CWB commie buddies arrested farmers for selling sacks of wheat. We know what side he is on.

                  Point of negative return? Like your beloved “vaccine”?

                    If Jason doesn't deescalate the situation he better hope there's room for him in Justin's bunker.

                      So assuming you think grain should be able to cross the border both directions how do you respond to the feedlots that are scrambling for their daily feed that is being blocked/delayed. Kevin Serfas was on the radio last night asking to let them through, saying in principle that he supports the cause but it is becoming a animal husbandry issue. Just like what was said on the recent feeding thread on agriville these guys need regular trucks.

                        Why can't the blockade be selective? Considering how arbitrarily the lockdowns shut down certain businesses, while allowing other businesses to remain open, and how that cost the livelihood of many of those affected small business owners, why not do the same? Except use it for good instead of evil, allow vital supplies through the blockade.

                          The truckers and RCs made a deal yesterday to let the same amount of trucks in and out, no vaxx checks for now.

                            I am quite serious about helping out. Does anyone here have any contacts in the area? It seems probable that local farmers would be on side with providing permission. I'll hire trucks to haul some equipment down to the area to go across country and bypass the highway route if it is possible. We need to show our support.

                            And to reiterate, I have no dog in the vaccine fight. But I am fuming mad about the double standard towards these hard working people who are standing up for their rights.
                            In recent years when the scum of the earth antifa and career protesters hijacked the blm, native and resource development protests, and turned them violent by blocking pipelines, highways, railroads, city centers, burning churches, desicrating statues, vandalizing property, leaving masses of garbage, accosting citizens etc, and the media, the politicians and law enforcement turned a blind eye, yet now they are threatening to pull out all the stops against hard working law abiding citizens peacefully protesting injustice.

                            I am motivated.

                            This public forum may not be the ideal place to discuss plans, but please contact me if anyone can help organize.

                              This may create food shortages wouldn’t it? Or is this about food shortages? Lol not sure anymore. He had to turn around. Also denying emergency services? Not sure don’t know that area.
                              Isn't that the objective of convoluted thinking. Applies to more than truckers. How can I through demanding my freedoms be met, be comfortable about denying the freedom of a trucker to do his work. Perfect example of "to hell with your freedom, it is all about my freedom".

                                Not sure I buy the story that feedloots are desperate for loads of feed stuck at the border crossing.
                                A text just came through warning me that feed barley prices are softening . 50 cents lower than before the blockade started.
