Trudeau flees as first 1,000 Trucks Arrive in Ottawa

So, we can agree that this occupation that was ended to force the end of something that had a scheduled end in place before the actions were started is bad and the people behind it are bad guys, even before we consider their political leanings?

The Versailles Treaty was a sad mistake; it enabled the Nazis to emerge. The Allies did not repeat that mistake after World War II.

True....the Nazis wouldn't have been "conservative"----they were extremists.




Trump is not a conservative. He's more like a populist reactionary.

Errrrr... oh, ok, you've got back to OP.

I'm okay with protests even if I don't agree with their causes - but there are boundaries of tolerable disruptiveness of the protest.

Let me just say that I have no reason to fear that Europe or North America are at serious risk of falling to a Marxist/Leninist or Bolshevik or Maoist totalitarian movement anytime soon.

Because they wrote the legislation which has caused this national crisis?
To open roads and end this occupation without further duress for anyone on either side?
As an example of leadership and international cooperation?
To show respect for Canadians (truckers or not)?
To serve and represent Canadians by upholding the Charter of Rights and Freedoms, or else rewriting it?


Also let's not forget the truckers aren't morons. They were considered heroes and essential workers when we needed them most, when the borders were first closed to all traffic and vaccines hadn't been invented. They brought our toilet paper, our masks, our medicines, our hand sanitisers, our ventilators and our testing kits. Now, at least 90% of them are vaccinated and they social distance alone in their cabs, but you suddenly consider them morons with fewer human rights than yourself. You suggest they should be discriminated against and be denied the rights and freedoms of all other Canadian citizens.

Even if some of their goals are quite reasonable this rodeo has been ran by the clowns from the beginning.

Wait, one of the protest organizers contacted them asking for this shack to be removed? This makes zero sense, was this done to create more trouble in the protest?

A convoy of Canadian truckers and protesters objecting to Covid restrictions has caused Ottawa residents headaches for weeks. Now, they are disrupting the other side of the border.

The Ambassador Bridge linking Detroit and Windsor, Ont., was closed to Canada-bound traffic on Tuesday, according to the Michigan Department of Transportation and the Canadian government, and trucks were told to cross at another bridge 60 miles away. Cars and trucks initially blocked the approach to the bridge in Windsor on Monday, and other vehicles jammed the area in solidarity.

The bridge is a key trade link, and traffic over the bridge accounts for about 27 percent of the $400 billion in annual trade between Canada and the U.S., according to the Federal Highway Administration. The alternate route, the Blue Water Bridge linking Port Huron, Mich., and Sarnia, Ont., was reporting delays of 2 hours for commercial traffic.

Traffic began flowing again on Tuesday morning at the Coutts border crossing linking Alberta and Montana after it was previously shut down.

On Monday, protesters blocked off traffic in both directions along the Ambassador Bridge that connects Windsor, Ontario, to Detroit, shutting down one of the busiest international border crossings between the U.S. and Canada.

“I think it would be a very good thing if the protest expands,” Sen. Ted Cruz (R-Texas) said Tuesday. “I think the Canadian trucker protest is a remarkable uprising and it’s a manifestation of the deep outrage across Canada and across the United States, directed at petty authoritarian government leaders who are trying to force vaccines onto unwilling people. I’m pro-vaccine, I’ve been vaccinated myself, but I believe in individual freedom. I think it ought to be your choice.”
