Canadian Truckers Convoy 2022 - The Leaf calls you a Nazi as he gasses you

[LeChampion1992]

So looking at the Snapchat pictures the first 2 are from an hour ago.
It is confirmed police are actively removing trucks in Ontario. It looks like they're trying to arrest via swarm tactics, then remove that person's truck via the license plate and I'd gathering.
As of yesterday the police were cracking down and arresting people smuggling in food, fuel, and other supplies.

Also bonus the counter protest on Sunday could only get a few hundred at the most to show out. Most of them were bugmen or protobugmen.

Plus some bonus Snapchat links.

These guys are owner-ops. That place would turn into Lolberta so fast.

That's what happens when the government regulates your business life so heavily. We don't start out as libertarians but we all end up there. The "it's for safety" excuse has been abused by government overreach with these guys for decades.

Yet another reason i am Libertarian these days. I honestly rely on myself for safety anyway, giving up liberty for piss-poor security from the state sounds like robbery to me.

Giving up some liberty for security works great until the state decides the rest of your liberty is a risk to the security they are proposing. Then it goes downhill real fast.

I had to chuckle at the headline back a few pages by some lib saying they should wait out the truckers "Boredom is our friend"

They really have no idea what truckers deal with from day to day, do they? You will not win a seige.

The cope is hilarious to watch. You can't fine them out of existence, or arrest them all, who's going to replace them? It seems that these workers already own the means of production and there simply is no backup.

This is all so fascinating and inspiring. HONK!

It wasn't necessarily no one, but compared to the other entities being polled, Trudeau was the only one whose reputation in regards to the protest was overwhelmingly negative. Everyone else's polls were middling to leaning negative. I think the only entity who came close to having a positive reputation in all of this by virtue of being the least disliked were the RCMP, bud I'd have to double check.

I know America the Beautiful way better than the Star-Spangled Banner. As a kid, I actually thought that was are national anthem for a while. Can't get on board with My Country 'Tis of Thee since the melody was ripped from the Brits. Unlike Canada, we can't give them the satisfaction of being responsible for anything regarding our cultural heritage.

I've sung the Star Spangled Banner since I was in kindergarten and in HS I was in choir, where we'd get trotted out to sing at sports events, City Hall and for foreign dignitaries. It does have that part with high notes that can be tricky to hit if you aren't in good form but some warming up takes care of it.

God Bless America is my favorite and I'd love for that to be the anthem. I mean, that's what you say to yourself in a foreign and hostile land when you finally see the flag over our embassy. Because you are (or used to be) safe. It can be that way again, if we try.

Not only that, but the truckers need basic food, fuel, and amenities to keep up the protest. Corporations, Canada, and the US are losing millions - if not billions -of dollars in lost trade and productivity a day.

Who's got who over a barrel in that situation?

I am still catching up on the 100 pages I missed. Is there a Kiwi map or something being maintained? I saw mention of a map in a few posts.

Would be nice if there was something that showed the truck passable border crossings and their status.

I admittedly don't have statuses of the honks, but here's the map.

Especially when all it takes is one nice grandma to say fuck it, bake a tray of meat pies, and the truckers feast for another day. And canadians are masters of malicious compliance, they'll find every excuse they can to support the truckers around any judges rulings.

Show me one time in recent history when the local community got together to provide automotive body grade steel to the local automotive factory. The local community couldn't support the big corporations even if they wanted to.

That's a good point, but if I had to bet who will blink first, it wouldn't be the truckers. People are losing their minds over not being able to get coffee "in peace". I don't know how it will play out but I know my sympathies are with the truckers and farmers. Think I'll send another donation.

I 100% agree. "Those who would trade liberty for security deserve neither" was sage advice. This decade has served as a reinforcement to American ideals more than any other since I've been alive. Not that we are perfect or implement them properly, but some of the most petulant hills we get to stand on as Americans are not available to other countries.

I've come to realize that's why Americans are so violent culturally. Deep down we all know the government needs to FEAR us. As an apparatus the American government is unbeatable, but any individual politician can be ventilated if they go too far.

I know that gun violence horrifies people, but 450 million firearms in a population of 320m means every individual cop, soldier, politician or fed in the US has to consider the cost of raiding anything. There isn't a government in the world that could bring feral whites into line. The US just learned to let them move to the country and leave them the fuck alone.

56% disapprove of Trudeau's performance, 25% think he's doing "as well as can be expected" and only 19% actually think what he's doing is good. Note that this is just an Ottawa poll, not a national one.

Thank you.

There isn't really a reason for Trudeau to be out front everyday.

He already called the truckers racists so talking to them is a non starter. His constituents believe the truckers to be terrorists so there goes negotiating. If he acts like it is a crisis, then he would have to do something about the crisis.

Trudeau is screwed because there really isn't anything for him to do.

Honestly gun violence is horrifying but I never understood this safety at all cost we need to regulate everything bad mentality that comes out.
You don't see this mentality in poorer countries but in wealthy nations you see this insistent need to want to bubble wrap and regulate everything into oblivion.
It comes from this western sense of elitism that you don't see elsewhere in the world.

Assuming it's true that the givesendgo funds are going to a US company (and smart on them if that's the case) then at best all that happens is that they are secure from easy forfeiture to the government in Canada. There is zero doubt in my mind that this crypto laundering wouldn't violate the order, assuming the language of the order is as encompassing as the summaries of the order are claiming.

This isn't a matter of law where you can find a technicality to get around. Judges are petty tyrants with god complexes. They have wide latitude to throw literally anyone into jail indefinitely for any reason. Receiving the money in any form would be reason enough.

Hope givesendgo tells Doug Ford to eat shit

Completely unrelated, but HONK has been the go-to defuser for arguments between my wife and i since this whole debacle started. It's been a serious net positive in our marriage.

OK but I'm still calling it the leaf revolution. Interesting that this seems to have caught the authoritarians off guard, going by simply doing a search for convoy on Google

Searching for convoy on google now only tells me about a 1978 movie, a town called convoy and a company called convoy inc, they've shut it down so hard it's like looking at redacted FBI files

He could also 41% in solidarity with troons.

Trudeau leading, now that's a great joke. I bet next you're going to tell me that pigs fly.

This also depends on your judge. You have alot more by the book, constitution and your rights first then you think. If you want a case to go to trial these are the best ones for the defendents. Conservative/republican judges tend to be tough on crime but by the book on trial type judges. They're very good at not caving to political pressure and usually are the judges who put crooked DAs in line.
