Epic fail for the corrupt cops. They tricked a local tow company into towing some farmer trucks away by telling them they were doing illegal activities not related to the protest. People saw the video and blew up the tow company, so they realized they were deceived. The tow company not only returned the trucks, but also joined the convoy themselves.

It's growing, and it's not stopping until Canada listens to reason.

There are rumors that the police will go on strike. If this is true, this is further proof most, if not the entire country is sick of Trudeau's ****.

Cool, now keep that same energy the next time we get some sort of a protest where streets are blocked, people cant get to work etc because people are standing in the street hurting bystanders who cant change the situation.

Right! I’m mean didn’t everybody just love the great summer of love protest known as Chaz or something? They violently took over a police station and several streets and attempted to claim sovereignty for social justice and politicians applauded them for it! I’m sure everyone who lived there and had businesses there experienced absolutely NO problems getting on with their day to day lives! What a joke!

I know, people were getting killed and raped in Chaz and no one did anything about cause 'muh fees fees'. They chose to humor it cause 'oh well, not my problem'.

They didn't freeze GoFundMes and donations to Chaz either.

Capitol Hill Autonomous Zone, later renamed Capitol Hill Organized Protest (CHOP) when it was pointed out what this looked like. They did indeed occupy US Territory and deny US ownership, in addition to (allegedly) shaking down local merchants (who sued the city because of this and the lack of police), allowed rapists and murderers to do their raping and murdering and then got mad when Ambulances wouldnt enter to help people because they had no protection.

Also see George Floyd Square and The Red House (I believe it was called)

In a normal country under normal circumstance, this would have been considered main storyline for the news and newspapers and perps would have been called "domestic terrorists" and "trators", yet, something tells me, those who organized those "wannabe communes" ended with a slap on the wrists.

At least those ****ers saw "communism in action", so maybe they will have second thoughts about supporting this ****** ideology....
....Who am I kidding - they are imbeciles who need fairy tales and a "perfect ideology", which makes them "kings over mindless plebs" and unperson bad guys.

Yeah, that happened a couple cities away from me. They'd smash up businesses over and over again in the Capitol Hill area. Most of the businesses just left over the course of that year, or shortly thereafter. They received 0 support from the mayor, the police (but the police's hands were forcibly tied), or anything. Nowadays there's just shoplifting everywhere. There's some law that if it's under $900 in theft, they won't even arrest. Wonderful policies from the left, truly. One thing that is never really talked about in the media about CHAZ or CHOP is about the area itself. It's known well in this state that Capitol Hill is basically "Gay Mecca." It's entirely gay, LGBTQ++, etc.. Moreso than, like, San Francisco. Like a little slice of Seattle that's nothing but that.

But yeah, it's really a hilarious hostage game by the slacktivist libtards. "Give into our crazy racist, facist demands... or we'll burn our own liberal cities to the ground! And just keep doing it! You better believe us -- we'll really do it!!"

It's like yeah... it sort of sucks for the businesses there that have and want nothing to do with your sh**ty cause, but go ahead. Do your worst.

Nope, they sure didn't. And what an annoying time to peek on social media that was.

"Do you part! Please bail out your neighborhood protesters!" and so on.

Bail them out? Are you sh**ting me? No, please, tell me where I can donate to their prosecution fund, maybe help them interview or look for a few more witnesses or reexamine evidence to help get a conviction. I'd throw a few bucks that way.

A lot of people I went to high school were there, apparently. Most the squirrely-looking guys that used to be on like, the debate club and would always be running for student body president or stuff like that. Guys that everyone would rumor was gay, but nobody could ever prove anything.

Cool

Yeah, back in my day it was pretty cut-and-dry. "Stealing is wrong, don't do it. Destroying other peoples' property is wrong, don't do it. Even if it's 'just a business'; businesses employ people, therefore you're hurting people. Don't do that sh*t."

Even my idiot hippie drug addict parents had enough sense to teach me that much.

BUT, now we teach our kids to be little thugs with no regard for anything except "how they feel". And so it's "okay" or even "heroic" to steal, burn and destroy things, and hurt people as long as it helps you get your way, make a point, or feel better.

Y'know. Like toddlers. We've taught an entire generation that the best way to "enact change" is to act like a toddler who wants to eat a box of cookies for dinner. Cry, stomp your feet, hit people and break your toys. Or their toys. Whatever's around, as long as people pay attention to you.

Disgusting.

EDIT: Can anyone explain to my why sometimes stupid "smileys" and whatnot show up above people's posts? And how to get rid of them? This seems to happen whenever I use my phone to post and I can't seem to get rid of it.

“You don’t want to end up losing your license, end up with a criminal record, which will impact your job, your livelihood, even your ability to travel internationally, including to the US,” Trudeau said Friday.

“Let me be as clear as I can – there will be consequences for these actions, and they will be severe,” he said in a Friday announcement.

Trudeau “promised quick action in enforcing the law” the White House said.

The Ontario leader pledged new legal action against protesters, including fines of up to CAN$100,000 – US$78,000 and potential jail time for non-compliance with the government’s orders.

Shredder and Krang combined had the biggest arsenal of any villains in all of the cartoons.

There will be nothing stopping them from just moving to the U.S and getting employed here if they feel like.

For one thing, we pretty much take anyone now. For another, we have a shortage of truckers despite the job paying good money. For another thing, a criminal record in this country does not in any significant way impede your ability to gain employment as a truck driver, because we're so shorthanded in that area. Point of fact, many people in the trucking business are only there because their criminal record does not allow them to have any other type of gainful employment.

Empty threats. Canada's loss would just be the U.S.'s gain. I call that a win.

Honest question, FWL: You seem like a generally decent guy. So why are you such a boot-licker? You're aware that nobody in any position of "authority" can ever be a good person, right? At least I would HOPE you understand that.

We live in a bizarro world where leftists will punish people for protests that dont fit their agenda while cheering on the ones that do.

The only thing Trudeau can do is step down. The only severe consequences coming are for him.

He can't arrest literally every trucker there, it will be the same problem. No one to deliver to anybody. Plus a lot of the police are standing up and not doing it, either quitting to take long PTO vacations til this blows over.

Trudeau has to say those three words or step down. His only options. The consequences for him will be severe. He'll never be able to show his face in Canada ever all this.

Do you think Trudeau cares? To him and everyone of his whackjob mindset, these kinds of things are just minor sufferings on the road to liberal utopia. It'll all be worth it when they arrive at that, and so on.

Proposed measures sound like the ones you want to implement to finish your political carrier for good, because, most people will see your rotten and power-grabbing nature.

He will, or at the very least drop all mandates. He literally has no other choice.

I am not opposed to the existence of authority and authoritarianism itself, I think both are necessary and good infact. There are times when there I don't like the enforcement of certain laws, but that's because of what's being enforced, rather than any objection to the act of enforcement itself.

In the case of vaccine, I was once hesitant because of supposed-side effects. However, since I realised that I was mistaken about the vaccine being in-effective or significantly harmful, I believe that its necessary to mandate it for the good of society.

That makes no sense. Vaccinated people have, do, and are catching Covid at a rate which is now outpacing the unvaccinated. Furthermore, it's been proven that almost every single person who died of Covid was either obese, a heavy smoker, abusing opiate medication, severely immunocompromised, rather old, OR some combination of those things.

There ultimately wasn't much we could reasonably do to protect those people - even the vaccine didn't protect them - and every single other person who got Covid either didn't even know they had it OR said it was just like a bad cold.

I understand how in the early months when we didn't know anything at all about this thing, a blanket approach and certain heavy-handed measures made sense. We know better now. If you're not in one of the above At-Risk groups... Then you're simply not at risk.

You're advocating that we ALL suffer to protect a vast minority of people who honestly weren't gonna make it anyway. I know that sounds harsh, but that's the reality. And it simply isn't fair. Not when there have been people like the woman in Kansas I posted about who literally had "allergic reaction to the Covid vaccine" listed as her official cause of death.

The vaccine officially has a body count. And you think it should be MANDATORY? Get. The f*ck. Outta here. I'll take my chances, thanks.

Especially now that the virus in endemic. Like I've been predicting all along, it's now "The New Flu" and nobody is talking about "eliminating" it anymore. We're supposed to "live with it" now. Well, I've been. For two years. No shots, minimal masks. I can keep taking my chances. I never get a flu shot, either. Know why? Because A. I never get the flu except for twice in 40 years, and B. EVERY time someone I know gets a flu shot, they inevitably get the flu, and when they don't get a flu shot, they DON'T get the flu. If it's all a random crapshoot, then none of this sh*t should be mandatory.

Nobody's being protected. The sh*t doesn't work. Make it mandatory? Who the F*CK does that benefit besides Moderna and Pfizer? Two companies, I'll remind, which have a history of shady, unethical, and illegal sh*t. Again... For the people in the back... If. You. Get. Covid. Anyway. Then. The. Vaccine. Does. Not. Work.

And don't speak about "minimizing symptoms" either. I now know plenty of people who never got the shot and have since had Covid TWICE. "Like a bad cold, over it in three days. I don't know why everybody's so chickensh*t about it." I am dead serious, and not exaggerating one bit, that the people I know who DID get the shot, ended up having WAY worse symptoms than those who didn't. Anecdotal, sure, but you can't reasonably dismiss that.

Not only should this sh*t not be mandatory, it doesn't even NEED to be. But if I'm rolling the dice ANYWAY, I'll take my chances with the germs. At least I know where that came from, and have a reasonable idea what it might do to me. The shot? No idea WHAT might happen but I'm not inclined to find out. Sick is Sick, either way. Dead is dead, either way. Better the Devil you know, says I.

It's insane that this is even a conversation by this point.
