Coutts Blockade

[dmlfarmer]

So is blocking a railway. Didn’t hear you then!

Those FN blocking the tracks did not display their names, nor did BLM, nor did those patriots in Washington on Jan 6, nor did the proud boys in Liberty park. All irrelevant comparisons

And insult me all you want, Who cares. It makes no difference. I was simply responding to Jazz's claim that the truck protest is the best ever because the truckers have it so easy. Protesting maybe, but the potential fallout after that these "freedom fighters" are done and which they have likely not even considered makes it one of the dumbest protests.

That is called profiling, and is illegal.

I have a friend who is an ex CPS cop. His explanation on profiling was of course they do it, but it's not racial profile as everyone likes to say, it's an asshole profile and he cant help who chooses to enter that group.

Something when your politics somewhat align with those doing illegal things and you give them a pass but others not in your camp you want them jailed, shot, or left to die in their pissy diapers. The Coutts blockade is nuts is all I can say. It has more Alberta issues which I am not in the know of so I have no opinion nor will I run my mouth off neither. Justly so, the ones critical of it I have a good idea do not all reside in Alberta and should maybe look into it a bit more before they have an opinion. Personally right or wrong I fear this protest is going to cause the rcmp to do something for lack of a better word stupid and heavy handed in the public eye. They are not beyond f ing up a free lunch as judged by Mayerthorpe or the Dajenais incident at Spiritwood. It is increasingly becoming an untenable situation. This one has me worried for the safety of fellow farmers and westerners, and the eroding credibility of the rcmp.

I bet if somebody offered to let him honk the horn he would be there in a flash!

no, you are thinking of Trump

It is the perfect protest for police. I guarantee, every license plate has been already recorded of every truck involved Most trucks have names on them. And when this is over, every DOT officer will be stopping these guys every chance they get. Even if everything is perfect on a truck, the driver is going to be sitting on the side of the road for an hour or more each pull over. Weigh scales, if a pound over on any axle will be pulled aside. Log books will be scrutinized like never before. Drivers who participate will become unhireable. What company will want to hire a driver who puts his own personal politics ahead of rules of the road, or the importance of timely delivery or authority? Don't think companies won't find out you were in the protest, Some will end up with a record of their participation on their drivers abstract. And the log book of every trucker involved will show a discrepancy in entries for the period of the blockade. Participation may even impact insurance costs if insurance companies find out the trucker was involved.
The sad part is, none of these "freedom fighters" have even considered an exit strategy of the protest. Cops are still being paid every day they babysit these truckers while truckers aren't. And as those cops sit on the side of the road, pulled away from those their own families all because of those truckers they are thinking of how nice it will be to pull these guys over after this blockade ends. None of these "truckers" can see past the present and have thought about what this will cost them in the long run.

You are making a lot of assumptions about who is going to prevail in this standoff.
You also assume that law enforcement will remain on the pro government side, against unarmed civilians.
You also assume that this isn't growing by the day, and that your blacklist won't eventually be longer than the list of those not involved.
Thanks to the assinine policies that have driven truckers to this point, there was already a shortage of trucks and drivers. Implementing your revenge policies will only make that worse. They couldn't have acted at a better time. Almost as if the government handed them this opportunity on a silver platter.

Looks like they beat me to it.
I'm still trying to arrange trucking, and they have plenty of cultivators there already. https://twitter.com/i/status/1489046017051803648

So are you "TRYING" to join the unemployed Anti vaxxer Trucker convey.

Their a fine bunch.


Sending threating texts to the Mayor of Coutts and his wife, not to mention actually going to his house.

Blocking the Coutts border crossing on the weekend which effected the 1200 trucks that pass through there daily not to mention the stress they caused on the Employed Truckers.

Now the so call unemployed Trucks and their Groupies are blocking the highway at Milk River.

And of coarse there's the residents of Coutts and now Milk River who's daily routines have been disrupted.

So maybe these are a few things to take into consideration before going all in AB5

So they have their names on the side of their truck. Big deal. Just proves they believe in their cause, and aren’t scared to stand up for what is right.

The other trucks are more than welcome to use other border crossings. Just as the unvaccinated are welcome to buy their freedom with a covid test.

A criminal record wont get you across the border but a vaccine would have. Irony.

Exactly. Contrast that with the Antifa thugs who completely cover their faces, cover the cameras, beat up any media who attempt to record them, and have no business to risk, no reputation to uphold, no jobs to lose, nothing to lose if they get sued.

No, I am trying to show solidarity for a group who is standing up for their rights, regardless if I support their cause. Because unlike the previous protests which violently disrupted our society, this time the politicians, law enforcement and media are not standing idly by and pretending it doesn't exist.
I am supporting equality. If the above mentioned parties had of acted with the same haste in removing and demonizing the BLM and antifa and anti pipeline and native protests, I wouldn't support this cause at all.

as are you, that every trucker is unarmed, that the 90% of truckers who are vaccinated support these guys, that this protest will continue to grow to the point that more people will eventually support this blockade than oppose it. Has never happened in any protest blockade, is not happening in Ottawa and public backlash is growing everywhere. Cross border truck traffic is only down 4% across Canada since mandate went into effect. And even if all mandates were lifted in Canada this would not open the border to cross border unvaccinated travel as US still restricts non vaccinated movement of everyone so entire protest is meaningless.

You either believe in democracy with all its faults or anarchy where a small number of people disrupt the lives and livelihoods of others. This protest is anarchy exactly the same as rail blockades, BLM, and the Jan 6 riot. Level of damage does not define anarchy.

So why weren't you posting regularly to condemn the previous riots and blockades, yet you come out specifically to condemn this one.

And thank you for coming out and bringing some intelligence to the debate. It was getting embarassing for your side reading the baseless childish rants of the rest of your team. They owe you a debt of gratitude.

What people need to understand is that the truckers and protesters such as myself who will be in Edmonton on Saturday, are there because of grievous breach of contract and as such all actions necessary to effect a remedy are legitimate. Mr Kenney was hired in order to rid AB of communism not impose it. The blockades are being done by Mr Kenney's boss which are his voter base. Check out the Angry Albertan and some of the info gathered by Mr David *****on which is featured on this page. Mr. *****on went to court against the AB government at his own expense in order to prove that the government could not possibly have fulfilled its duty informed consent regarding the jabs. It was looking like Mr *****on was going to win his case when the crown got the case referred to a different justice for what is known as 'case management'. This procedure argued that he did not have 'standing'. Mr *****on has laid out the reason why he does have standing. The courts was adjourned for 2 hrs after which the madame injustice read her decision. It took 45 minutes to read a decision that she came up with in 2 hrs. Yeah right. The injustice was in cahoots with the crown on this procedure as otherwise if the case made trial under the original justice he would likely have won. They knew he had a strong case. This is how corrupt the courts are right here in AB. The man's name is David D i c k son. Stupid censorship.
