I said, as clear as day, that in regard to a country like Canada, "when a lefty government is in power in DC." And yes, while you are on it though, Trump influenced quite a few leaders around the world whether the like it or not. And then you said a bunch of things in your post that I did not read. Too much stupid in the first sentence. I do not reward that. I am sure that in your mind you said some great things though.
https://nypost.com/2022/02/11/the-left-turns-on-a-working-class-rebellion/ The Left turns on a working-class rebellion By Rich Lowry February 11, 2022 11:31am The workers of the world should unite, so long as it isn’t against COVID-19 restrictions. In that event, they are hateful kooks who deserve whatever they get. The political drama playing out in Canada, where truckers protesting a vaccine mandate are blockading the streets, is an expression of growing exhaustion with coronavirus restrictions, but also of a class conflict. The criticisms of the truckers by Canada’s political and media establishment are heavy with contempt, reflecting an assumption that they are ignorant clods who can’t possibly have a point — when they clearly do. On the question that sparked the protests, the truckers are right. Despite the number of COVID-19 cases collapsing since early January, the government imposed a new rule the middle of last month requiring truckers crossing the border back from the United States to be vaccinated or to isolate for two weeks. This would effectively make it impossible for unvaccinated truckers to work, and for what? Truckers aren’t selling concessions at arenas, or waiters circulating at crowded restaurants — they work in a remarkably self-contained profession. And it’s not the case that the 10 to 15 percent of truckers who are unvaccinated — and who have obviously been unvaccinated during the entire pandemic — are going to start a new surge of coronavirus cases in Canada. Truckers and their supporters carry flags as they continue blocking access to the Ambassador Bridge, which connects Detroit and Windsor, in protest against COVID-19 vaccine mandates, in Windsor, Canada, on Feb. 10, 2022. REUTERS/Carlos Osorio The vaccine mandate simply isn’t a very important policy, and a reasonable Canadian government would admit as much. Indeed, the government went back and forth on the mandate before finally deciding to impose it. Ricky Schroder wants US truckers to ‘shut down’ Washington over vax mandate Yet Prime Minister Justin Trudeau is reacting as if the truckers must be fought on the beaches and landing fields like an invading force rather than regarding them as fellow citizens who deserve respect even if he considers them grievously mistaken. “We won’t give in to those who fly racist flags,” he has intoned. “We won’t cave to those who engage in vandalism or dishonor the memory of our veterans.” No, according to Trudeau, “hate can never be the answer.” The truckers are another sign of the class inversion in advanced Western countries. The Left continues to lose working-class voters and pick up college-educated voters, and the well-coiffed Justin Trudeau, fully attuned to haute progressive sensibilities, is the perfect paladin for the upper middle class. On the other hand, the Right is doing the opposite and sees blue-collar virtue in the truckers to whom it once would have felt no natural connection.
The Canadians are not f@cking around... Full tactical response including snipers. Windsor police begin clearing out Ambassador Bridge convoy protesters https://globalnews.ca/news/8615208/ambassador-bridge-police-convoy-clearing/ Police have commenced enforcement near the Ambassador Bridge in Windsor, Ont. In a tweet Saturday morning, the Windsor Police Department said, “We urge all demonstrators to act lawfully and peacefully. Commuters are still being asked to avoid the areas affected by the demonstrations at this time.” Protesters have been blockading the bridge to the United States for several days as they demand an end to COVID-19 vaccine mandates. North America’s busiest land border crossing, the Ambassador Bridge had no traffic flowing for a fifth straight day on Saturday morning. Dozens of trucks, cars, pickups and vans blocked traffic in both directions, choking the supply chain for Detroit’s carmakers. Police in black uniforms with yellow vests were seen moving behind the protesters’ cars on the bridge. Tactical teams and snipers were also present. The number of protesters had thinned from about 200 on Friday night to hardly two dozen by early Saturday. Protesters closest to the bridge were seen moving back peacefully. Several were seen dismantling tents and packing up barbecues. However, some are still unwilling. They are either in trucks or on foot, carrying Canadian flags and occasionally shouting “freedom.” Police are maintaining a heavy presence at the entrance to the bridge. A few hours into the process, the Windsor police tweeted a warning for protesters still within the demonstration area. “Enforcement continuing, individuals who are located within the demonstration area are subject to arrest. People are advised to immediately vacate the area,” the tweet read. Negotiators were seen trying to convince them to move back. “You will be arrested,” they warned. Police have slowly started moving in on protesters. They we seen telling them to leave and stop blocking traffic or else they will be booked for mischief or see their vehicles towed. “We are opening up this intersection to traffic. If you fail to comply with our instructions you will be arrested,” police told the crowd via a loudspeaker. Some protesters continued shouting at officers and standing their ground. Two RCMP armoured vehicles were spotted on the scene and some RCMP officers carrying guns were on standby. In a ruling late Friday afternoon, a judge gave the protesters until 7 p.m. to clear out, although crowds were continuing to grow after that time and it remained unclear when many would leave. “The activities that are the subject of this injunction, the freedom that those want directly results in the denial of freedom to others in society. The direct denial of their freedom to work. The direct denial of their freedom to cross and to move goods and services across the bridge,” Ontario Superior Court Chief Justice Geoffrey Morawetz said before delivering his ruling. Ontario Premier Doug Ford announced a state of emergency in the province earlier on Friday in response to the blockade in Windsor, and another protest that’s immobilized Ottawa’s downtown core for nearly two weeks. Ford said he will enact orders making it “crystal clear” that it is illegal and punishable to block and impede the movement of goods, people and services along critical infrastructure. On Friday evening, the Windsor police distributed flyers that warned protesters that Ontario’s state of emergency will take effect at midnight. It is “illegal and punishable to block and impede the movements of goods, people and services along critical infrastructure,” the flyer read. (More at above url including additional Tweets and video)
Shutting down terrorists, neo-Nazis, QAnon nutcases and white supremacists is being on the right side of history. No civilized society should put up with these clowns.
You are clearly against the truckers and are already losing big. It is not going to get better for you either.
Rand Paul said he hopes trucker protests 'clog up cities,' including during Super Bowl and in DC (CNN)While protests by truckers and others against Covid mandates continue to occupy Canada's capital, block US-Canada border crossings and add to supply chain headaches, Republican Sen. Rand Paul of Kentucky said he hopes trucker protests come to the United States as soon as this weekend to "clog up" major US cities. Asked by The Daily Signal about his thoughts on the convoy and the potential for it to spill over into Los Angeles, home of Sunday's Super Bowl, or into the nation's capital, Paul said Thursday that "it'd be great" if the anti-mandate, truck-inspired protests popped in the United States to "clog things up." "I'm all for it," Paul, a longtime opponent to masking and vaccine mandates, told the conservative media outlet. "Civil disobedience is a time-honored tradition in our country, from slavery to civil rights, to you name it. Peaceful protest, clog things up, make people think about the mandates." He added: "I hope the truckers do come to America, and I hope they clog up cities." https://www.cnn.com/2022/02/12/politics/rand-paul-trucker-protests-america/index.html
