It's about a lot more than the current state of COVID restrictions though - and both sides know it.

Video from Coutts -- protestor calmly enjoys his dinner while asking the riot cops "So... what's the gun for?"
Couple of stills from Coutts over the last couple days scraped from Snapchat. I'm sure there's a lot more Snaps out there, but the last 4 days or so it's been struggling with reliably serving up hits from anything to do with the protests in Canada.

Yeah this isn't speculation anymore, Minister of Emergency Preparedness has come out and confirmed the earlier Twitter reporting:
Government considering emergency powers with 'appropriate caution,' federal minister says
Government considering emergency powers with 'appropriate caution,' federal minister says
If implemented (which is looking likely) they're going to try blaming the cops for it entirely thanks the limited enforcement thus far. If both the federal government and Canadian police forces weren't so incompetent any tin foil hat wearer might just think the whole course of events here was intentional.The federal government has discussed invoking special emergency powers to deal with ongoing protests in Ottawa, Emergency Preparedness Minister Bill Blair says, calling a lack of enforcement in the nation's capital "inexplicable."
The government's Incident Response Group and cabinet have had "daily" discussions about potential use of the Emergencies Act, Blair said in an interview on Sunday on Rosemary Barton Live.
A cabinet meeting was added to Prime Minister Justin Trudeau's itinerary late Sunday, and CBC News has learned that a meeting with the prime minister and premiers has been called for Monday morning.
Blair described the attitude around use of the law, which has never been implemented before, as "appropriate caution" rather than "reticence."
The law empowers Ottawa to do just about anything it thinks is necessary to cope with a crisis. The legislation, which replaced the War Measures Act, defines a national emergency as a temporary "urgent and critical situation" that "seriously endangers the lives, health or safety of Canadians and is of such proportions or nature as to exceed the capacity or authority of a province to deal with it."
While Blair emphasized it was important to make sure that "the appropriate authorities that are with the provinces are fully utilized," he said the federal government was "prepared to do everything necessary."
He also did not rule out deployment of the military in some way to help end the occupation.
That's a shift in tone from the position taken by Trudeau on Friday, when he said a military deployment is "something to avoid having to do at all costs" while also noting that "all options remain on the table" when discussing blocked border crossings.
WATCH | Emergency preparedness ministers says police must act:
'We just need the police to do their job,' says minister of emergency preparedness
13 hours ago
Duration 10:44
Minister of Emergency Preparedness Bill Blair discusses on Rosemary Barton Live the federal government's response to the protests against COVID-19 restrictions that continue to cause major disruptions across the country. 10:44
While much of the responsibility for law enforcement lies with the provinces, Blair told CBC chief political correspondent Rosemary Barton, the federal government has made it clear that "in any situation where the circumstances exceed the ability or authority of the provinces, we are prepared to step in and do whatever is necessary."
"Enough is enough, this has to come to an end," he said, noting the role the Canadian Armed Forces have played in assisting during other crises.
"The activities that are targeting right now critical infrastructure, our borders in the country, are intended clearly to harm Canada and Canadians."
'We just need the police to do their jobs'
The protests in Ottawa against COVID-19 public health measures, including vaccine mandates, have dragged on for more than two weeks — with protesters occupying several blocks in the downtown core around Parliament Hill. Local residents, who have faced blaring horns, diesel fumes and harassment, have become increasingly furious with the police response.
Ottawa police have said they have a plan to end the protests but require additional resources from outside the city. Recently, an integrated command centre was set up in the city, bringing together local police with the Ontario Provincial Police and the RCMP.

Michael Kempa, a criminology professor at the University of Ottawa, said Canadians are starting to wonder which side is accurate.
"This is where the situation is baffling for Canadians watching," he said.
"You've got the chief of Ottawa police and the mayor of Ottawa who repeatedly say that [the city] does not have the resources to carry out this mission on its own and that we're waiting for backup. The prime minister and the federal government, the minister of emergency preparedness, Bill Blair, keeps repeating that [the city] does have the resources that are necessary."
Similar protests elsewhere in the country, aside from an ongoing action near Coutts, Alta., have not become as entrenched as the main truckers convoy that rolled into Ottawa late last month.
A blockade of the Ambassador Bridge in Windsor, Ont., was dispersed by police earlier Sunday, with 12 arrests.
Blair said the lack of enforcement in Ottawa was "somewhat inexplicable." Blair, who previously served as public safety minister, was also chief of the Toronto Police Service between 2005 and 2015.

Ontario Premier Doug Ford declared a state of emergency in the province on Friday, with his cabinet signing orders giving police new leeway and increasing penalties against protesters.
"[Police] now have new authorities and I think very effective tools," Blair said on Sunday. "We just need the police to do their jobs and enforce and uphold the law, and to restore public safety in Ottawa."
Ottawa Mayor Jim Watson called the minister's statement "unfair."
"Given the sheer numbers of people who are out, many of them don't have anything to do with the trucking industry they're just showing up to be agitators, we don't have the resources to go in," he said.
"Many of [them] are very angry and very frustrated and are taking it out on our city."
His comments came the same day the city brokered a deal with one of the protest organizers to move trucks out of residential areas in the next 24 hours.
Counter-protests gain steam
Counter-protests are picking up steam in Ottawa, with hundreds marching this weekend. On Sunday, a group of people blocked a major intersection to prevent a number of vehicles from joining the main protest downtown.
Kempa said while he understands the desire to push back, he's worried about the risk of confrontation between the two groups.
"That would be a very dangerous and volatile situation," he said.
"This underlines why the state must get control of the streets of Ottawa. Citizens are, in effect, giving up and the state must demonstrate that the institutions of democracy are able to control the situation."
Politicians at all levels of government have condemned the occupation in Ottawa, calling for protesters to leave. Ford has called the situation a "siege."
Interim Conservative leader Candice Bergen, who in past weeks voiced support for the protest's aims, said on Thursday that "the time has come for you to take down the barricades, stop the disruptive action and come together."
The Conservatives have also tabled a motion calling on Trudeau and his cabinet to drop all federal pandemic restrictions and "transition to a post-COVID society as quickly as possible." The House will vote on the non-binding motion on Monday.

Look at any other western country with a "multi-party" political landscape. It's always three-four different flavors of "left" with one centrist party LARPing as conservative. If there even is a second right-wing party that has actual right leaning political policies they're immediately thrown under the bus of the """conservative""" party.
Anyone who wants that in the U.S. is either naive, stupid, or a leftist who knows the inevitable outcome of such a system.

I mean, they have lied countless times about this. Every time someone FOIA’s the feds, new incidents of China training soldiers in Canada comes up. They never have a good explanation for why they would be here AT ALL.

I stand by what I said. Anything that happens past this point is a win for the truckers. I'm not an accelerationist—I swear. But this type of escalation is what we need. Things are darkest just before the dawn. That said, things are about to get really rough in Canada. If you don't wanna suffer through it pack your bags and get out ASAP.

Canada is a brilliant example of managed decline. Look at the way they let infrastructure rot and then blame it on climate change instead of their own negligence in maintaining dykes/highways/forests etc. The ruling class has strangled our traditional industries, smeared the people who have the grit to stick it out in them and let everything rot.
In fact, they've made a virtue out of it.

All respect to everyone here speculating on possible Chinese troops working undercover as Canadian police, but have any of you ever heard a Chinese national speak English? It would be immediately obvious unless they're all standing there silent as statues.

It seems absurd to even think about. But in case you see some chatter on Twitter that’s what they are referencing.

Say what you want, but I'm never going to buy the idea that a guy who dresses up like an Indian and says words like "peoplekind" is going to have the guts to start a civil war. However, there is a chance that people underneath him are making the armed forces go after the protestors because they believe in the "progressive" ideology, not in Trudeau himself.
I don't even think the Canadian government will do anything serious with their armed forces against the protestors. At the end of the day, they're just protesting mandates. If Trudeau ordered the military to brutalize civilians, it would just get caught on video, shown to the world on social media, viewed by guys in different European countries, and then used as inspiration to start more protests, which would then prompt the European governments to complain about the Canadian gov'ts methods, finally causing them to get a hit to their global reputation. Again, the costs just outweigh the benefits here.
This isn't to say that the truckers are going to get absolutely everything they want without any harm whatsoever. This is to say that the gov't of Ontario and of Canada as a whole will cave to the demands of the protestors to some degree. Even if the protesting working class don't get everything they want, the convoy protests do establish that they are a menace; a group that you can't just mess with right off the bat, and that you have to peacefully negotiate with at every given opportunity.
You can hear the snap, lol. Talk about instant karma.
Oh hey, it's you.

Not saying it is Chinese troops, but we have a lot of Chinese nationals in our govt already. It doesn't really matter if they can't speak English well lol

That's the thing though: the removal of COVID mandates is the kind of trivial, lower-tier demand you typically work your way down to in negotiations.
And the government won't even bend on that.

I live in NYC and it is already a dystopian nightmare, the only reason I am still here is I live in a neighborhood where no one cares or follows the insane state or city decrees. But I'm leaving soon, PA if I'm in a hurry, the mountains of WVA if I'm not.I've been blackpilled on the state of Canada for while, so I have extremely low hopes for how this all turns out (which is why I've been doing everything in my power to get out of this country for good for greener pastures).
I will say: American Kiwis, if things go bad up here in Canada, use us as a cautionary tale. Canada is what America will look like after 20-30 years of Democrat dominance and the dismantling of your constitutional rights, as well as a reformatting of your political system to "avoid the two party system".
Move away from the two party system at your peril. Canada has as many parties as you want, and yet it ends up being one big globohomo liberal ruled blob of politics where they do the same thing regardless.
Your enshrinement of your fundamental freedoms in the constitution, and the difficulty it takes to take those away is one of your greatest strengths. Fight tooth and nail to retain it, and treat anyone who threatens it with the highest degree of suspicion. Hopefully one day I will join you, but if not, godspeed regardless.
I can't imagine things up here going anywhere but Trudeau slamming the boot down on the throats of everyone to thunderous applause. He's probably thankful for these events for giving easy documentation of the dissidents he wishes to target first.
Sorry for the blackpills, but it is that time of night again
Using foreign troops, bad but using CCP troops? Best way to start a real insurrection. At best it will be the Troubles, at worst it will be American Revolution but with Canadians joining in.
This could also draw in GB although I don't know if they have the will or the balls to get involved at this point, but they are certainly stupid enough to try. And finally the octoroon thot and her royal cuck can be properly ejected.
