Who are these men hanging around as the tow-trucks took the trucks in Ottawa?
It’s hard to tell from the video, but there are a lot of people in halloween costumes doing something during the day the trucks were towed away.

If most Canadians really did want the truckers gone surely some tow-truck drivers would be happy to help and soak up the free advertising. Or maybe all the polls are wrong?
Government critics get abuse and death threats
The team with the army, navy, jails and the billion-dollar budget is so afraid of the unarmed family men with trucks, tractors and hot-tubs that they have vowed to hunt them down “for months”. Not only that, but they will pursue anyone who gave them $20 for fuel to get there. Trudeau won’t say it, but he’s afraid of truckers, tractors and cars rolling on, and protests popping up everywhere.
If trucks just started to carry free advertising mocking Trudeau — they’d be free moving billboards across the country — like the ultimate bumper-sticker campaign. Though no one needs a slogan — cars and trucks just need to carry the Canadian flag and let it be known, that that’s the protest. He can’t ban the flag.
Tearful Ottawa gelato shop owner whose name was released in GiveSendGo data hack describes being hounded with death threats and says she’s been forced to shut her shop
MattMcNulty, The DailyMail
An Ottawa gelato shop owner whose name was released in the GiveSendGo data hack after she donated to the Freedom Convoy claims she has been forced to shut her store after receiving death threats, abusive phone calls calling her a Nazi – and a sign has been hung outside her store saying ‘Tammy supports terrorists.’
Tammy Giuliani, who owns the Stella Luna Gelato Café, spoke to Fox News‘ Jesse Watters on Thursday about the backlash she’s faced since she donated $250 to the group of Canadian truckers protesting against COVID-19 mandates.
‘I think never in my 56 years have I ever experienced a country so divided… ‘You know, we have been called terrorists. For the first 60 to 36 hours, we were inundated with hatred, with threats of violence. People threatened our team on the phone, telling them, “We’re coming to get you. We’re going to throw bricks through your window. You’ll pay for this, you Nazi supporter.”‘
That’s Justin Trudeau’s communist paradise of love and worker contentment?
The Ottawa Police Chief commits to hunting down and punishing peaceful protesters for months to come.
Even if those protestors broke no law, his job is to make sure they live in fear, and the rest of Canada knows how risky it is to speak up against government rules that most people don’t want.
Once upon a time the police were there to protect shop owners from mafia style threats.
And laws are so complex now,
That one Swastika flag at the protest was mocking Trudeau for being a Nazi
Is this flag the source of all the minion haters calling the protestors terrorists and Nazi’s? Notice the flag above it says Truck Fudeau (or something like that. )
The only Swastika anyone can find was warning what Trudeau’s Canada would become.
Trudeau gaslights the nation that these are neo-Nazis marching because they carry the Swastika. It’s as if Greenpeace carry banners of a burning Earth because they want to burn it. Now, somehow, the Nazis are the ones that stand for “medical choices”? And all the misleadia just rinse and repeat the nonsense as if Nazi medical experiments never happened.
For the moment, Trudeau’s maneuver will effectively slow down protestors pointing out the similarities. If protestors are going to use the toxic Swastika symbol, they need to make sure Trudeau’s name is printed all over it — with the words “show us your papers” or a huge needle and syringe symbol. Of course, if they do that well, the media won’t show it at all.
Trudeau faced a tricky choice: he could stop forcing people to get injections-they-don’t-want and the Truckers would all go home, problem solved, but he would look like a loser. Or he could trample, spray and beat them, and steal their money instead. So he did.
.@ezralevant: “I think Justin Trudeau wants violence, to retroactively justify what he’s doing. Why would you run horses into a group of civilians other than you want blood?”
When journalists and old women are attacked and police bear down on protesters with the cavalry, pepper spray and batons, we would expect most Western leaders to speak out, and most serious mastheads. Here’s the Wall Street Journal. Note the others in the coming days (or lack thereof).
Trudeau’s Destructive ‘Emergency’
The truckers protest could have been handled without abusing the law.
The Editorial Board, The Wall Street Journal
Protests aren’t emergencies, and Western leaders had better get used to handling civil disobedience firmly without traducing civil liberties. Mr. Trudeau criminalized a protest movement, deputizing financial institutions, without due process or liability, to find and freeze personal accounts of blockaders and anyone who helps them. These extraordinary measures are a needless abuse of power.
Toronto limited the problem by closing downtown roads. Blockades at crucial border crossings were allowed to drag on and cost the North American auto industry hundreds of millions of dollars. Yet when police finally acted, border blockades dispersed peacefully, no emergency powers needed. One ended with handshakes between police and protesters.
Weak responses to civil disobedience have hurt Canada for years. New gas pipelines are increasingly stymied by blockades, often by green or aboriginal activists. On Thursday men wielding axes attacked a pipeline drill site and its workers in British Columbia. That’s worse than anything the truckers have done.
Yesterday, 20 masked people, some with axes, attacked a gas drilling site in British Columbia, casing wanton destruction, risking serious injuries:
Coastal GasLink site in B.C. left with millions in damage after ‘violent attack’ by masked assailants wielding axes
RCMP are investigating what is being described as a “organized violent attack” on pipeline workers, police and equipment at a Coastal GasLink drilling site near the Morice River in northern British Columbia.
The Coastal GasLink pipeline, which will connect B.C.’s shale gas resources to LNG Canada’s export project in Kitimat, is almost 60 per cent complete.
“In one of the most concerning acts, an attempt was made to set a vehicle on fire while workers were inside,” said the company in a statement. “The attackers also wielded axes, swinging them at vehicles and through a truck’s window. Flare guns were also fired at workers.”
It’s not clear which group did this violent assault but they aren’t truckers and nobody seems to care. Will their donor’s bank accounts be frozen?
Thousands of semitruck drivers are expected to take part in the coast-to-coast “People’s Convoy” to protest government COVID-19 mandates starting Wednesday, Feb. 23, says organizer Maureen Steele.
“We have well over 1,000 truckers. I’ve lost count right now and I know it’s going to grow,” Steele told Newsmax’s “Eric Bolling: The Balance.“
“Our support staff is enormous. We have the Unity Project and they have hundreds of nonprofits that are under them so they literally have thousands of people helping pull this event off.

In 1981, the Soviets seemed invincible. Yet their power was fragile, vulnerable to a single fissure of courage that started in Poland. That crack lengthened and spread until the entire system crumbled. It must have seemed impossible to defeat an ideology that controlled every institution—the press, the education system, the military, etc. Yet, without firing a shot, a courageous protest in Poland did just that.
In September of 1981, the Soviet Union seemed an uncrackable monolith. On its frontiers stood a NATO force that would last only a few weeks were a conventional war to break out. The Soviets could rely upon apologists in Western academia and the media to amplify their propaganda and stifle voices demanding freedom. Yet the opposition of a labor union to Soviet Communism powerfully undermined its claim to legitimacy
The Soviet Union, like modern leftism today, appropriates and exploits the struggle of ordinary people while simultaneously making things worse for them. Their soft hands and arrogance set them apart from their supposed clients in the “real world.” Their only skill is to feast upon the fruits of other people’s labor. When real labor awakens to the true parasitic nature of the Left, the whole system comes crashing down.
No wonder they’re so afraid.
Families are being torn apart
This is a revealing write up by a former CBC reporter who feels like the protests are dividing the country and is dismayed and searching for answers. What she has missed is that the divisions were there and growing for years. The peaceful flag-waving Truckers have arrived to fill the hole where healthy national pride and a sense of community had been exterminated with fashionable vanity-guilt competitions of hate and disdain.
TARA HENLEY (former CBC reporter) from Toronto, DailyMail
The use of the Emergencies Act has poured gasoline on what was already a raging fire.
I fear that Canadians are headed for the sort of volatile, drawn-out, intractable conflict that tears societies apart.
The act replaces the War Measures Act, last invoked by Trudeau’s father, Prime Minster Pierre Elliott Trudeau, in 1970, and it is widely known as the nuclear option. As a journalist, I have never seen a news event this polarizing. And as a citizen, I have never seen my country this divided. For the past two weeks, most conversations have revolved around the protests in the capital.
Families are being pulled apart, including the Premier of Ontario’s own. Ford said Monday at a news conference that ‘all of this has polarized us in a way that we could never have imagined.’ One of his daughters has publicly supported the protests.
This is a large part of why I left legacy media in January, working as a current affairs radio producer at the Canadian Broadcasting Corporation. (In fact, it was our coverage of the vaccine mandates that proved a tipping point.)
She does understand there is something very unfair fueling this:
During the pandemic, Canada has become a less equal country. Billionaire wealth has increased a staggering 68 percent. Many, many people are struggling to make ends meet.
She doesn’t realize how close to the mark she is:
If one is to take the threat of the extremist far-right seriously, as I certainly do, then the Emergencies Act is the worst possible way of handling this crisis. It risks radicalizing peaceful protestors and confirming their worst fears about government.
Trudeau has indeed confirmed that the far right — who fear big Government will misuse and abuse power — are really the sensible center, who were correct all along. She fears the “extremists” but in today’s non-debate, the “far right” is anyone who just wants to be left alone.
Trudeau is so good at achieving the exact opposite of everything he supposedly wants because he relies on censorship and character assassination instead of free speech and well mannered debate. If Trudeau thinks he’s a God, thank the sycophantic media, and patsy academia.
All he had to do to be a good democratic leader was meet the people, instead of hiding amongst his status-climbing friends. If he’d spent time with the workers in the last two years, he could have seen all this coming and averted it so easily.
On the Ottawa front-line Police send in SWAT teams to Stop the Mischief
According to the protesters, tow trucks are stationed nearby and are believed to be waiting to clear the area of trucks.
“The tow trucks are not labeled, they’ve had their plates removed and their companies covered so they are hiding their identities from the world,” one of protesters on the livestream said.
Police say the “media risks arrests if caught behind lines in ‘Red Zone’”. Thus, history is being made in a peaceful “emergency” and the media are banned? Where are the screams from the real journalists around the world…
They may evict the protesters but unless Trudeau ends the mandates, the protests will just find another outlet.
Police are cracking open the door on this locked RV. Someone appeared to be inside. pic.twitter.com/AyktvgNuf5
Ottawa now has armed checkpoints like East Berlin did. Who is imposing more of a blockade on Ottawans, the protestors dancing in the centre or the man that fenced Parliament and added 100 checkpoints?
“The secured area includes almost 100 checkpoints that will have police presence to ensure that those seeking entry to that secure area for a unlawful reason, such as joining a protest, cannot enter the downtown core,” acting Ottawa Police Chief Steve Bell said Thursday.
But truckers are not worried.
“It’s all smoke and mirrors,” said Niagara-area trucker Harold Jonker, who drove the first truck in to the protest and plans to be the last truck to leave. “We are not doing anything wrong and they know that.”
Canada’s capital, operating under the Emergencies Act, now has ‘no go zones” similar to a police state.
One of the most far-reaching implications of the Emergencies Act is what it prescribes for the Canadian financial system. According to the government’s new Emergency Economic Measures Order, every single bank, credit union, investment broker and insurance provider in the country has been deputized to figure out if they have a blockader as a client, and to immediately freeze their accounts if so.
Under normal circumstances, private companies arbitrarily seizing the assets of their clients is a great way to get sued. But the order makes clear that “no civil proceedings lie against an entity for complying with this Order.”
Trudeau is giving every Canadian a reason not to use the banks. What could possibly go wrong?
He has overreached so far, even the Greens are warning this could backfire:
In a widely circulated essay for the socialist magazine Canadian Dimension, former Green Party leadership candidate Dimitri Lascaris warned that leftist support of measures to crush the truckers could end up biting them in the end. “If we Canadian leftists endorse this government’s use of emergency powers to quell this protest, we may well be dooming our prospects of successfully mounting and sustaining the far more disruptive protests that will be necessary to preserve Mother Earth,” he wrote.
Lyndsay Kruisselbrink, who was on her third trip to the Ottawa protest on and planned to stay until Monday, said the feeling among participants was “very calm,” adding everybody was happy with “lots of love.”
“You have to be here to know the feeling,” she said. “You just don’t want to leave. You just love the cause and all the people. It’s like your family.”
No wonder the Truckers are willing to be so brave, and stay so strong.

Just like that: In Austria, Germany and Switzerland — most restrictions will be gone in March
The Austrian situation is the most incredible turnaround. They had one of the most brutal mandatory vaccination programs in the world only a few weeks ago and now even laws made a few weeks ago look like they will never be enacted.
AUSTRIA – Will lift Covid restrictions including the banning of the unacceptable from society and is unlikely to now go ahead with compulsory vaccination.
With terrible timing the Austrian government only approved the draconian mandatory vaccination laws on Jan 20th, just in time for everyone to realize that the vaccines didn’t work, and Omicron wasn’t an emergency. Strangely the all new monster mandatory vaccination rule technically still exists, but may be scrapped before it even starts. How can it be justified to let unvaccinated people into pubs and clubs where superspreading events occur but then also fine them €1000 ea month for being unvaccinated? The absurdity of it destroys itself.
So perhaps to avoid the look of a complete nearly instant backflip Austria has established a commission to decide on mandatory Covid jabs.
Just weeks after the nationwide Covid vaccine mandate was signed into law, the controversial measure is in jeopardy. Austria’s compulsory vaccination law – the first in Europe – is set to come into effect on March 16th, when “phase two” will mean police can also check vaccination certificates and report violations to the district administration authorities. The commission will make its first report the week before, on March 8th.
Feb 17th. BERLIN — Germany’s leaders on Wednesday announced plans to end most of the country’s coronavirus restrictions by March 20, a decision that coincided with moves by neighboring Austria and Switzerland to drop many of their curbs sooner.
A three-step plan was endorsed by Chancellor Olaf Scholz and the country’s 16 state governors as official figures show Germany’s COVID-19 infection rate beginning to drift downward.
The Swiss government has decided to drop most coronavirus restrictions from Thursday as the record levels of infections triggered by the Omicron variant have not translated into a peak of hospitalisations.
It’s amazing how fast a psychological state can unravel. If the mandates had real benefits, they would not evaporate so fast.
Collecting stories of the ending of mandatory restrictions helps all of us still living under them. Good news in Western Australia today — the Great Unvaccinated will now be allowed to buy beer at drive through bottleshops. They can’t visit pubs, restaurants, clubs or gyms. The pandemic has barely arrived here — hopefully, it all shall pass.
The Canadians Truckers give us all hope.

*HEadline edited. “Blow” changed to “bust” lest anyone think there was any violent intent.
Today the ante goes up again. Trudeau has played his wildcard. He is demonizing and dehumanizing the honest good people who just want to work for their families or cross the border without getting an injection.
Is it a two faced bluff, or will people be put in jail? One the one hand, in legal fine print, Trudeau’s emergency order still allows for peaceful protest. On the other hand, everything the authorities are doing is intended to intimidate the Truckers into leaving. And they are being very intimidating.
Ottawa police have been going from truck to truck, passing out flyers to Freedom Convoy protesters which demand they vacate the demonstration zone immediately or face arrest and criminal charges.
“You must leave the area now,” reads the notice. “Anyone blocking streets, or assisting others in the blocking [of] streets, are committing a criminal offence and you may be arrested,” according to the Wall Street Journal.
The government is trying to order the police to use force against Canadian citizens who are peaceful demonstrators.
There are rumours busloads of police are on the way. Fences are being erected around Parliament Hill. The opposition in Parliament has told Truckers they must go from some streets where they are illegally parked, but can still protest at Parliament Hill (but if Trudeau has built a fence around Parliament Hill, what room does that leave for protests?)
Trudeau has nothing left but lies and hate: “Conservative Party people can stand with people who wave Swastikas”
Apparently Trudeau is trying to provoke violence in Canada. He needs violence to justify his “Emergency”. The liberals who believe him will feel empowered to lash out. The peaceful protesters who waved 100,000 Canadian flags will feel betrayed by the lies.
It’s all so unnecessary.
Police make have to make a difficult choice.
The Democracy Fund has issued a brief to the Parliamentarians in Canada to advise them of what their options are. For those interested in the legal details – it can still be revoked. But will the fear of it alone serve the purpose — just like the illegal Biden vaccine mandates still got so many people vaxed, or sacked.
This Pilot Greg Hill Has A Message For ALL Canadians
He makes a very unique point about the way complacency and fear of saying the obvious can cause disaster. He is speaking especially to the police and military.
Many of you are actively and silently questioning what you are being asked to do.
As Jorden Peterson says: It’s not safe to speak, but it is even less safe not to speak.
You stand in these hours in a unique and difficult place… we need a wall of courage.
Trudeau is so inept he may have triggered a bank run
Actions have consequences. With the announcement that banks may freeze accounts of tens of thousands of donors, is it any wonder that many people may have tried to pull out their money? Canadians are losing faith in the banking sector too…
Days after Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau said he would invoke emergency orders to crack down on demonstrators by freezing their bank accounts, five major Canadian banks went offline on Wednesday night, as customers reported their funds were unavailable, according to technology website Bleeping Computer.
Royal Bank of Canada (RBC), BMO (Bank of Montreal), Scotiabank, TD Bank Canada, and the Canadian Imperial Bank of Commerce (CIBC) were all hit with unexplainable outages on Wednesday evening. Users began reporting issues with banks around 1600-1700 ET, Downdector data showed.
…
There were countless stories of banking customers who experienced trouble accessing their funds yesterday evening. No bank explained the source of the outrage, but essential to note the outage comes, as we said above, days after Trudeau invoked the Emergencies Act.
Best wishes to the people of Canada today.

Project Veritas has caught an FDA executive on hidden camera admitting that Big Pharma pay hundreds of millions to the agency that decides whether their products get approved for use. He explains that the next goal is annual “recurring” vaccines, mandated. He talked casually about the lack of good research and how the vaccines have not been as effective as they were expecting.
This kind of expose is so important for all the people who find scientific arguments difficult. Everyone understands corruption.
Christopher Cole, an FDA Executive Officer with twenty years experience:
“The drug companies, the food companies, the vaccine companies, they pay us hundreds of millions of dollars a year to hire and keep the reviewers to approve their products.”
“…if they can get every person required to get an annual vaccine, they get a recurring return of money going into their company.”
“Just from everything I’ve heard… they’re not going to Not approve this.”
“My agency overseas vaccines”. “My office clears all the emergency approvals”
Biden wants to innoculate as many people as possible So you’ll have to get an annual shot.
It hasn’t been formally announced yet, because they don’t want to rile everyone up…
It’s going to be a gradual thing. Schools are going to mandate it.
…
There is so much money, how could this NOT be happening?
Pfizer brought in $37bn (£27bn) last year from Covid vaccines, and is projected to make $32bn in 2022, plus another $22bn from Paxlovid — the expensive antiviral. Net profits increased by $13,000 million from 2020 to 2021. As I’ve said before, Pfizer would not be looking after its own shareholders if it did not “grease the wheels” of the approval committees — both to make their own products easy to approve, and also to use the FDA and TGA committees to ban the competition, like Ivermectin, HCQ, and small competitors like the Australian vaccine makers. The problem here is not Capitalism, it’s the power of unaudited, unaccountable committees like the FDA and the TGA. Think about how much control they have over your daily life, and how little power we, the people, have to even get honest answers and full transparency. The Pfizer data used to force this drug on our children is still hidden.
The forced annual shot is coming if we don’t stop it
FDA executive officer is caught on hidden camera admitting Biden will force an ANNUAL Covid shot that would be a ‘recurring fountain of revenue’ for drug firms
Michelle Thompson, DailyMail
‘Biden wants to inoculate as many people as possible,’ Cole said during a February 3 conversation inside a restaurant, according to footage obtained by Veritas. ‘I think it’s going to be a gradual thing. Schools are going to mandate it.
Quotes from the recording:
“I don’t completely agree with the process. They’re looking at trying to inoculate kids under five years old. … All the tests aren’t there.”
The EUA is important. The “emergency” allows a much lower standard to approve drugs:
It’s an EUA for all age groups.
The efficacy data doesn’t have to be that high.
It (just) has to do more benefit than harm.
Normal drug approve needs far longer studies and higher efficacy.
There’s always a chance for a long term effect.
It’s harder to find like pregnant women for these studies. They haven’t tested enough on pregnancy …
It has not been as effective as they’re expecting.
Do Children’s Lives Matter?
When the hidden camera was revealed to him he claimed he was tricked, it was out of context and his office was not involved in approving vaccines.
Provinces of Canada (click to enlarge) | by Hogweard
Thank the Truckers
Vaccine mandates have or will soon end across five Canadian provinces, and at least four of the Premiers have also dismissed Trudeau’s call to invoke Emergency powers.
This includes some of the largest provinces, and within a few weeks, as many as 30 million Canadians out of 38 million, will be free of vaccine passports within their provinces.
The newly elected opposition leader Candace Bergen calls the Emergency Act an “unprecedented slegehammer”.
Candace Bergen
To give some idea of how the Truckers have transformed politics, only two weeks ago the leader of the Canadian opposition was Erin O’Toole. He was dropped on Feb 3 by a large margin with a secret ballot – 73-45. Notably, the first and worst thing that Reuters could say about the new leader Candice Bergen was that she once worn a MAGA hat. She is more conservative than the former leader.
The Premier of Quebec, which has long had a strong separatist movement, went so far as to say he’d only support the call if it didn’t apply to Quebec, and the military was not used anywhere in Canada.
Bloc Québécois leader Yves-François Blanchet said he was “surprised” to find out the Prime Minister planned on invoking such serious measures and that he has “serious doubts” that Emergencies Act powers are necessary to deal with any part of the protests across the country.
He also said his party was ready to support the Liberals in this case, but only if they committed to leaving Quebec out of the new powers and avoiding deploying military members on the ground in Canada.
Premiers of Alberta, Manitoba and Saskatchewan have also said they don’t want the Emergency Act to apply in their provinces.
Lawyer Ryan Alford says the onus is on the government to show this unprecedented step is necessary:
The declaration must brought before Parliament within seven days of the invocation, and it could be revoked if the House of Commons or the Senate vote it down. “So, for up to seven days, Parliament has no ability to prevent what’s going on,” he said. — National Post
Vaccine mandates ending in five Canadian Provinces
Saskatchewan and Alberta have already removed the vaccine passports. Manitoba will also be lifting its vaccine passport requirement on March 1. Ontario (the largest province with nearly 15 million people) has announced an end to the vaccine passports). And now, wow, Quebec is dropping vaccine passports. Quebec is the second largest province with 8.6 million people. This is the most remarkably backflip. Only two weeks ago, Quebec had some of the most draconian rules on Earth. The government was considering whether to bring in a health tax on the unvaccinated but quickly dropped that after the Trucker convoy grew. Now in a complete 180 degree turn they are unwinding the mandates and even declaring that Trudeau’s Emergency ruling isn’t legitimate in their province and isn’t justified. Naturally this has absolutely nothing to do with Those Truckers.
Quebec announces plan to drop vaccine passport by March 14
Quebec will drop its vaccine passport requirement for all public spaces by March 14, the government announced Tuesday. Health Minister Christian Dubé explained the decision at a news conference, saying the COVID-19 situation in the province has improved enough to gradually ease the measure. As of Wednesday, Quebecers will no longer need to show a vaccine passport to enter liquor and cannabis stores as well as larger retail outlets. By March 14, the passport will be phased out entirely… – CBC NEWS
“We’re doing it now because it’s the right time to do it, because it’s safe for public health,” Health Minister Christian Dubé told reporters at a news conference. “There is no link to the political environment.” Nevertheless, the shift was dramatic. As late as last week, Dubé was saying there were no plans to lift the vaccine passport or mask mandate by March 14, the date by which almost all health measures are set to be dropped.
Righto. And they wonder why trust in our institutions is falling.
Coutts border blockade ends amid “hugs” with police
There are images coming out of the blockade at Coutts on the border of Alberta showing protesters singing the National Anthem and hugging the police. These may be the same police that vandalized and did significant damage to three excavators that were parked legally on private property. In any case, what’s powerful is the unity.
According to Alex van Herk, the Coutts border protest is departing. It’s not about the Emergency Act declaration but about the risk that they will now be publicly tarred as “violent” due to the arrests (hear his explanation below in the video). Last night the police came out with live rifles and arrested two people, and one arrest was done at a local house (which was not connected to the convoy at all) where police claimed they found a large cache of guns. The protestors say are leaving because they are only taking part in a peaceful protest and don’t want to be associated with any firearms.
Four people have been charged with “conspiracy to murder”. We hope they have good lawyers. It all seems incredibly convenient for the powers that be. And people are asking the false flag question.
Rebel news has more information on the charges. “The trio face a charge of conspiracy to commit murder and mischief by impeding the use of property by others and possession of a weapon for a dangerous purpose.”
….
In British Columbia many restrictions are being lifted but not the vaccine mandates. (Not yet anyway). So there are signs of softening, but still battles to be won. The government of BC is described as “center-left” but the provinces that have dropped the mandates already are “centre-right”.
Warnings of a false flag event for Ottawa Protestors
Daniel Bulford is an Ex-RCMP (Royal Canadian Mounted Police) officer and former Trudeau bodyguard. He has released a video hours ago warning that they have intelligence suggesting that the recent theft of 2,000 firearms in Canada may be planted in Ottawa to thwart peaceful protests by the Freedom Convoy. Bulford is asking anyone who sees suspicious activity to report it to the Ottawa police immediately, “call 911”, and is reaffirming that the protestors have no intention of doing anything violent, and do not support anything outside the legal democratic processes.
If the idea of the Emergencies Act was that it would spook Freedom Convoy into folding up their tent, pretty much the exact opposite has happened. Existing blockades all stood their ground, as well as two new ones at border crossings in Alberta and Manitoba.
Weirdly, throughout all this Trudeau keeps sending out tweets cheering Canadian successes in the Beijing Olympics or celebrating National Flag of Canada Day. Which … doesn’t seem like the actions of a government currently staring down a deadly and/or existential crisis
The punishment begins for donors to the protest — the Solicitor Generals communications director has lost her job after she gave $100 to the Freedom Convoy and her name was exposed in the hacking of GiveSendGo. We hope some private company will immediately offer Isabeau-Ringuette a new job where she has the freedom to donate to whatever cause she wants. People who work for the Ontario Government clearly don’t. The fear campaign is just like the Soviet Union. The money that flowed to help the Truckers showed how popular the cause was. The last thing the Empire wants is for the people to do that again. Where is the investigation of the cyber criminals?
Let’s not forget that for all the fears of foreign interference, this protest is about the border rules between Canada and the US, and obviously, US citizens have a major interest in it too.
______________________________________________
UPDATE: Wow. That’s a flip!
Doug Ford, Premier of Ontario is suddenly saying this is about “freedom” and everyone is done with this. “We also know if you have one shot or ten shots — you can still catch Covid.” “People want to be able to get back to normal”.
What poll did he see today?
Another huge win for the truckers. Doug Ford supported Trudeau’s state of emergency LITERALLY YESTERDAY but he has seen the tracking polls and wants everyone to know, he’s always secretly opposed himself and Trudeau. Please just ignore the past two years. https://t.co/3Y39hyq2Hl
Extraordinary. The Ambassador Bridge issue was solved. The protesters in Ottawa are still obeying the law, waving the Flag, and jumping in bouncy castles, and yet Trudeau has invoked the Emergency Act, and declared war, almost, against many Canadians. In a dangerous game of chicken, Trudeau has upped the ante. Instead of being remotely statesman-like, he’s trying to crush the opposition with the full force of the state.
Tucker Carlson — this is a defining moment in the history of Canada.
Justin Trudeau has declared the people dancing in the street in Ottawa are terrorists. Their bank accounts can now be seized, and anyone donating to them can have their accounts taken. The banks don’t need court orders. Truck insurance can be suspended.
Even if this is illegal (and it surely seems to be) this is the Big-State threatening everyone who dares dissent. Even if it is later tested in court, the injustice is here now. Just like the Biden illegal vaccine mandates. Justice takes time, and some crimes can not be undone.
Trudeau is collecting a list of political enemies and all their details, seizing their bank accounts.
…
From far away, we can write to our MP’s and demand that they speak up as voices of democracy. There is no justification for activating the Emergency Act and suspending democracy.
Will someone ask Scott Morrison and Anthony Albanese whether they would ever consider this kind of action in Australia and under what circumstances? Pick your side of history — are you for the people or against them? Do people have the right to protest freely without punishment?
Remember the BLM supporters demanded everyone in politics declare their public support, and nothing less that “taking the knee” in subjugation was accepted. Neutrality was not an option. Silence is violence! See how it works?
If the Right worked like the Left, every politician would be declaring right now that “free speech is sacred” and “everyone has the right to protest peacefully.”
Bloc Québécois Leader Yves-François Blanchet is the latest voice to object to the Trudeau government’s use of the Emergencies Act to respond to the ongoing “Freedom Convoy” protests in Ottawa and elsewhere across the nation.
Bloc Québécois, is a political party in Quebec which has 32 seats in the Canadian House of Commons (out of 338 seats).
“Let’s understand clearly that Quebec, Quebec government and us do not want this law to be implemented on the territory of Quebec. It is not legitimate, and it is useless,” he said Monday.
To put this in perspective, Canada’s Emergencies Act used to be called the War Measures Act. But instead of war — the big threat here is apparently 42 cases of “Mischief”:
As of Monday morning, the police had arrested 42 people and seized 37 vehicles, said Windsor Police. Most of those arrested were released and will return to court later to face a charge of mischief, said police spokeswoman Talya Natyshak. — Wall St Journal / The Australian
Or rather, “alleged” mischief.

The federal government has not met the threshold necessary to invoke the Emergencies Act. This law creates a high and clear standard for good reason: the Act allows government to bypass ordinary democratic processes. This standard has not been met.
The Emergencies Act can only be invoked when a situation “seriously threatens the ability of the Government of Canada to preserve the sovereignty, security and territorial integrity of Canada” & when the situation “cannot be effectively dealt with under any other law of Canada.”
Governments regularly deal with difficult situations, and do so using powers granted to them by democratically elected representatives. Emergency legislation should not be normalized. It threatens our democracy and our civil liberties…
The Truckers are moving the polls of Canada, and politicians around the world are shifting gear
The Truckers have won the moral victory in Canada, and some strategic victories around the world — ones they were not trying to win — but the wounded Trudeau is dangerous. In the provinces of Canada and states all around the world, leaders are watching and some are already bailing out of their own mandates so they can avoid the losing deal that Trudeau served himself up. He could have cancelled the vaccine mandates on day 2 or 3, and the Trucker Convoy would have evaporated before it arrived in Ottawa – a strange unknown moment that existed only on youtube briefly. Instead the world is watching Canada and he has grossly over-reacted.
The whole Tucker Carlson show because it *might* be different to the ABC, BBC and CBC.
And because there are things “bigger than WaterGate”.
Think about the problem of how to donate funds to democratic legal protests now. There will be protesters that need legal support now that the full force of State Lawfare is being thrown against them. How is a good citizen to help fellow citizens voice opinions they agree with?
Are we really down to buying gift voucher cards with cash at grocery stores while wearing a mask and sunnies to avoid the security cameras? Is that Trudeau’s Canada? Will an alternate economy spring up where people barter gift cards for goods?
*Edited post hoc. The post originally said “The Truckers have won” – a blandly empty line that needed a lot more explanation.
The Canadian people are becoming increasingly sympathetic to the Truckers views on the pandemic with every passing day and less impressed with Trudeau. He looks weak and out of step. As a desperate face-saving manouver — hypothetically (and pathetically) he could remove the mandates but disguise it with chest beating “action” — hoping he looks strong rather than defeated. That’s what Doug Ford, Premier of Ontario has just done. Ford announced he will end the mandates. So the Truckers won, but he will effectively punish them all the way home to make sure they don’t do it again, and it doesn’t look like they won.
Pierre Trudeau invoked the War Measures Act after the FLQ terrorist group started kidnapping, murdering and putting bombs in mailboxes.
Justin Trudeau is invoking the same powers to deal with peaceful protests that he happens to hate.
But with polls shifting against him, especially among young progressive age groups, Trudeau is going to have to end mandates one way or another. And leaders all over the world are hoping he can Do It Fast, and without looking like the working class won. They’re all afraid their own deplorables will realize how powerful Truck Convoys are.
In an IPSOS poll, 46% now say the Truckers frustrations are legitimate and they are worthy of sympathy. Among the under 34 year olds that figure is an amazing 61%.
The ground was being pulled out from underneath Trudeau, and often by the younger demographic, his voters, who now see a faster way to get their freedom back than waiting for their fourth shot.
TORONTO — Ontario is ending its vaccine certificate system on March 1, when capacity limits will lift as well, Premier Doug Ford announced Monday — although Ford said masking requirements will remain for now.
Ford: To those of you who are still there, there will be serious consequences,… Anyone who breaks the rules under the emergency order, such as by blocking up major travel areas like 400-series highways or international border crossings, may be subject to a fine of up to $100,000 and up to a year of jail time.
Let me be clear: If you choose to use your vehicle to create chaos, you will lose that vehicle, and your licence, plain and simple,” Ford said. And, according to the premier, these repercussions will be permanent.
So there. You’ll never work as a Truck driver ever again! As Ezra Levant points out, even murderers don’t lose their ability to earn a living “forever”.
Meanwhile the police are now reduced to sabotaging excavators “to keep the peace”
Near the Alberta border protest, three excavators were parked on private land, with permission and within view of the highway at Coutts. The RCMP asked them to move their equipment out of sight of the highway, which the drivers obligingly did. The police didn’t mention that the reason they were moved “out of sight” was so they could vandalize them without an audience.
The police say they damaged the equipment because it might have been used in the blockade.
I accuse the @rcmpgrcpolice of committing crimes. Trespass. Break & enter. Mischief over $5,000. Breach of trust. Intimidation. The only question is: who ordered this illegal action? Kenney, Trudeau or Trudeau’s crooked commissioner Brenda Lucki? pic.twitter.com/sLtw8sTzHi
The hackers clearly hate the protesters, stole their personal details and will give that information to left wing journalists and academic researchers (who also hate them):
On Monday, GiveSendGo’s website said it was “under maintenance,” hours after the site was hijacked and redirected to a page believed to be controlled by the hackers, which no longer loads. The redirected page condemned the trucker…
A short time later, nonprofit leak site Distributed Denial of Secrets said it had received 30 megabytes of donor information from GiveSendGo, including self-reported names, email addresses, ZIP codes and IP addresses.
Distributed Denial of Secrets, a site known for hosting sets of leaked data involving far-right groups, said that the data would only be provided to researchers and journalists.
It’s just another way to intimidate and threaten people who don’t obey Big-Government. Some smaller minds are already using the list to Dox coworkers as “insurrectionists” for demanding essentially what two-thirds of Canada wants. Clearly most Canadians should thank the donors. Will Big Government investigate and track the hacker-criminals?
In other news in the Information War, some are trying to blame the Freedom Convoy for an arson attempt in Ottawa. Rebel News called the police and spoke to the manager of the building and discovered that no one has any evidence that arson took place. Just so you know.
Lesson 4-billion-and-one in How Big Government Screws Everything Up
Cuadrilla Shale Gas.
Remember Cuadrilla, the company that discovered 200 trillion cubic feet of gas in Lancashire, UK in 2011? It multiplied the entire national reserve of shale gas by 37 fold. At one point the market value was estimated to be something like £136 billion and could keep the UK “in gas” for 56 years.
It should have changed everything. But in 2022 the UK is in an energy crisis and instead of expanding those shale wells, the UK government is sealing them up. They’re the only two viable shale gas wells in Britain, and the government wants them to pour concrete down the holes.
It’s been a long slow grind to nothing. The anti-frackers frightened the people with stories of “known carcinogens called ‘silicon dioxide’” and seismic shocks that registered 1.5 on the Richter scale. So the people of the UK gave up an industry worth £6 billion a year, and a reliable energy supply because a government department was afraid of pure sand and a class of earthquake so small it’s “rarely felt” and so common the world has “several million” of them each year.
The aim of the campaigners and their media allies was to destroy the industry before it took off, or at least to have it regulated into irrelevance. At first, the government held its ground, but with the media in full chorus that didn’t last for very long. After drilling operations caused a pair of microtremors (of a size somewhat smaller than a lorry rumbling past your window) the scaremongering reached a new intensity. Stories were circulated to the media that homes had been damaged. These claims were later shown to be baseless, but by then the government had had enough, and their resistance crumbled. New rules were put in place that made operators stop work if they caused even a tiny earth tremor. The so-called ‘red light’ level was set so low – far below anything detectable – it was said that if you wanted a long weekend, all you had to do was drop a spanner on the drilling pad on Thursday evening.
It’s a case of selective enforcement. No other industry has to keep seismic events to nothing; not truckers, or miners, or pop singers. Even primary school children are allowed to generate seismic shocks ten times bigger than Cuadrilla is. In 2001, one million of children jumped off chairs to create a shake of about a 3.0.
And it’s no accident. The Oil and Gas Authority (OGA) was created to drive fossil fuels out of business.
…how can we explain the decision to seal the wells up? In fact, it makes sense if you take a look at the OGA’s remit. In this extraordinary document, you will find no mention of any duty to ensure that operators aren’t cutting corners. There is nothing about making sure that they deliver for consumers, nor even anything about national energy security (another issue of pressing urgency, given Mr Putin’s machinations). Instead, the role that government has given it revolves entirely around delivering Net Zero. Put bluntly, the OGA is more about closing the industry down than regulating it.
When the price cap on domestic energy bills is lifted in a few weeks’ time, there is likely to be a great deal of anger.
It’s almost like the OGA serves the enemies and competitors of the UK, and not the people. Someone is profiting from the scare campaign, and the rigged committee, but it isn’t most of the voters.
If it was “One Law For All”, the law could never have been made. Being able to make petty regulations or grant industry-licenses makes the bureaucrats the Kingmakers. Unaccountable tyrants.
Worth sharing
It’s essential UK produces its own Shale gas. The problem is Green zealots make wild claims that tiny well pads would industrialise our countryside. Greens fail to admit solar requires 40X the area of a well site to produce 1/20 of the energy. Support UK gas & not fuel poverty pic.twitter.com/gZLoDzrmlm
Tucker Carlson points out how Trudeau’s overreaction reveals his impotence.
By going double or nothing, it’s so much harder for Justin Trudeau and Doug Ford (Premier of Ontario) to back down.
The biggest human rights protest in the West in a generation:
The Left used to represent the Workers
As David Evans says:
The great political realignment continues. The ruling class have coalesced — with the establishment right joining the bureaucratic left. They are all college-educated (but not too bright, you understand), and they love well paid government jobs and government money, and being aligned to the dominant political ideology so they can name-call anyone else and dismiss them without having to actually engage with what they are saying — without having to actually think.
But they left behind most of society. We can’t all be overpaid non-productive consumers of government money.
Parasites United will never be asked to work too hard.
Here’s one Ontario Police Officer who says there are “many police officers who want nothing more to see our country returned back to the beautiful state that it was. A lot want to speak out but we can’t because we will be reprimanded…”
The crowd in Ottawa is said to be growing and massive this weekend.
Heavily Armed Officers Have Arrived at the Ambassador Bridge
Unlike the Ottawa protests, which have been impeccably well behaved, the Ambassador Bridge Protest is a higher risk, and lower moral-high-ground protest — potentially causing financial losses to others. The easy moral solution of course, is for Trudeau to end the mandates.
On Friday a Canadian Judge granted an injunction to end the Ambassador Bridge Blockade. Premier Doug Ford, who was heard telling supporters he would end the mandates yesterday, has instead today announced to end the blockades there will be fines for “non compliance” of up to $100,000 and maybe a year in prison. This is the same Premier Ford who said his government is making these temporary emergency powers permanent in law. To help police “do what it takes to restore law and order,” adding that “we must heal the divide that is fracturing society.” That’s $100,000 dollars worth of healing for all you non-compliers.
The document, which was provided late Friday by the City of Windsor, states that anyone having notice of the order is prohibited from “impeding or blocking access to the Ambassador Bridge and indirect or direct approaching roadways and access points” for 10 days.
The injunction authorizes police or “designated agents” to remove any vehicles, personal property, equipment, structures, or other objects that impede or block access to the bridge, and approaching roadways. — CBC News
Rebel News reporters Isabelle Rivo and David Menzies are on the scene of an intense policed stand-off between protesters blocking Windsor, Ontario’s Ambassador Bridge and dozens of heavily armed officers.
UPDATED: There are unconfirmable reports that the protesters in cars at Ambassador Bridge are leaving as police ask, one by one, due to a “huge police presence” and the threat of fines. Some are being towed away. It’s far from clear what is really happening.
At Coutts River, on the Alberta border, the protestors have formed human chains to stop police breaking up the convoy:
UPDATE: MM Comments at #2 that in theory this is so donors can get their money back, which is good to hear. But even if this is the case, the delay in getting funds to Truckers and the doubt created by this move will deter donors from donating and Truckers from joining the battle. It serves the Empire, and will sabotage donations and also drain them to fight legal battles.
This may not work out too well for the bank if Canadians that have funds in TD Bank decide they’d like to find another bank.
Protesters plan to fight back legally to regain the funds. They are also talking about using cryptocurrency for donations but it’s not entirely clear that they will be able to convert the crypto into cash in Canada.
When the government steals the money for legal protests it feels like we’re at a moment in history where people need to carry gold across the border to “fund the resistance”.
It could bring down Justin Trudeau
New polling shows 54% of Canadians now support the end of Covid restrictions.
The big loser in this is Trudeau — 53% think Trudeau looks weak. Only 16% would “vote for Trudeau” based on the way he has handled the Freedom Convoy.
‘The last time I’ve seen numbers close to this were in the final days of Brian Mulroney,’ says Maru pollster.
But make no mistake, Canada is a mess of contradictions. The same article reports that 56% of Canadians have no sympathy with the protest (despite largely agreeing with the aims of it). No doubt the relentless media misinformation on the Truckers helps feed that paradox, though the protests on the bridges will be affecting jobs and supply lines. Astonishingly two-thirds of Canadians, according to one poll (how was that question asked?) said they would support military removal. Have they really thought about it?
We’re in an information war. If Canadians knew how careful, considerate and law abiding the protestors have been (for the most part) they might view things differently.
Ultimately, the mandates are hurting, and Trudeau faces a Parliamentary challenge:
Canada’s 3.7 million unvaccinated remain banned from air travel, rail travel and government employment, with no hint from Ottawa on when those strictures might end.
Blockades aside, Trudeau is now facing a joint House of Commons motion from the Conservative Party and the Bloc Québécois calling for an end to COVID-19 restrictions by the end of this month.

And for the record, another Canadian drove 11 hours to meet the Truckers and found out they were wonderful people, helping the homeless and nothing like the media said. I’m so angry, he said, about the media.
Imagine how polarised the nation would be (or not) if the public broadcasters interviewed the best spokesmen on both sides of every debate? Instead they just find the views that say what the editor believes, or commit professional suicide, like this Vancouver announcer.
One Canadian DJ ended his radio career by telling his listeners the media were full of lies. “You are being fooled”.
Kit Carson a DJ for Z93.5 a radio station in Canada comes clean about the lies, media manipulation, and propaganda in mainstream media. https://t.co/yTYxzGh7GT
Carson also accused the news media of lying about the protest, and suggested they were doing so on behalf of Prime Minister Justin Trudeau. He did not respond to an interview request from CTV News.
In Paris, armored vehicles are coming in, in preparation for the French Convoy
Isn’t this newsworthy? SBS News in Australia told me tonight at length how one region of India was considering banning the Hijab, but they didn’t mention that the French government was preparing for the arrival of French protesters with military force.
Macron has been dealing with Yellow Vest Protests now since 2018. The last thing he wants is for the Yellow Vests to come in trucks.

________________________
UPDATE: Mandates are suddenly vanishing
There are rumors the Premier of Ontario will end vaccine passports. Rebel News has a copy of a recording of him talking to supporters to forewarn them. “We’re pulling these passports. We’re going to get back to normal. I can’t get you the exact date”…
“… they could be arrested without warning if they persist with the occupation of the city’s downtown core. Referencing the crime called “mischief to property,” the message said if the demonstrators don’t stop blocking city streets they could be arrested, charged, and have their vehicles seized and possibly forfeited.
The convoy organizer Chris Barber would have none of it:
“We replace every driver arrested with three new drivers,” he wrote. “Call just went out.”
…New Jersey’s governor seemed to be ready to throw in the towel and stop fighting public sentiment on the issue. Well, shortly after that, the push to put an end to the mandates appeared to start spreading faster than the Omicron variant. Three more blue state governors joined Phil Murphy in saying that mandates would be coming to an end either this month or in March. Oregon, Connecticut, and Delaware jumped on the bandwagon…
…the view of this government is that it is no longer proportionate to require vaccination as a condition of deployment through statute in health, care homes or other social care settings.
Something wonderful is happening. The Truckers are winning. The Ottawa Police are admitting they can’t solve this. All the dirty tricks that can be played haven’t worked. Sometime in the last week, former policemen, security experts, and military intel have joined the leadership team, and strategically, they are playing a faultless game. Trucks with wheels removed appear to be ideally placed to stop a police response. Overnight the media spin has flipped from calling the rally “disorganised rabble with violent extremists” to describing the protest as being run with “military precision”. Watching the transformation on the CBC it’s almost like they’ve realized they were backing the wrong horse. The videos far below from CBC reporters are very unexpected — they’re good.
The Truckers are resolutely happy, cheerful, dancing, and determined. They are patriotic and family oriented, and that’s blowing away the “Extremist Terrorist” playbook, making Trudeau and the media look like fools.
In short: “Trudeau played the “Nazi extremist card” — so he can’t back down. But he’s falling in the polls, losing MP’s, and the Truckers are not backing down. Worse the protests are spreading, threatening to spark off a US disaster for Joe Biden that would alienate the working class in a midterm election year, and exacerbate a supply chain crisis nightmare. So its Joe Biden that may announce that “the science has changed” and now we don’t need a vaccine mandate on the border. “Joe Biden saves The Workers!” If that happens, it won’t make any sense for Trudeau to keep a mandate on the other half of the same border, so he will follow. “He’ll say it was for Canada-U.S. relations, and that it wasn’t because of those racist, sexist, Nazi truckers.”
History books will be written about this protest — and other ones now gathering support in New Zealand, Australia and Europe.
The Truckers are winning with peace, love and families
The Truckers are winning by staying resolutely absolutely polite and disciplined while they have a rollicking good time, with mischievous tricks to stay “ahead of the police”. By being family oriented, dedicatedly patriotic and steadfastly peaceful, they are showing Canada how fake the news is, and how out of touch Justin Trudeau is. They are gaining the support of more people as the news spreads and the protests grow.
This is a family protest.
When they were banned from honking, they obey the ruling, and rev their massive engines instead. The singing, cheering and whooping sound like a party or festival.
…
…
And there are more red jerry cans than ever, most carrying water or nothing at all, so that the police cannot possibly stop the fuel getting through. Ottawa police were even seen confiscating wood as well. They stole the wood from indigenous groups doing some sacred fire. Where are the Woke protests?
Everyone joined in the red jerry can decoy game, thwarting the police from confiscating the fuel the truckers need to stay warm. Twitter
At one point, the Canadian government used taxpayer money to book out every hotel room near the protest to make it impossible for the Truckers to get accommodation. @Shimjelly has videoed a hotel basement completely empty of cars in a supposedly booked out hotel. It’s just sheer malicious waste to use the Truckers taxes against them. But it didn’t work. The Truckers found other accommodation or slept in their trucks.
Truckers now have military intelligence and former police and security on their side
And as the days tick over the protesters are becoming even more disciplined and organised. They appear to have help from former police and military workers who are advising them. The leadership team now includes the former RCMP officer who was on the PM’s security detail (Daniel Bulford quit last year due to the vaccine mandate). Bulford is urging the protesters to connect with the police. Many of the police will have sympathies, and it’s so much better to build on that than oppose them.
Another key adviser is Tom Quiggan — a military intelligence officer, who is a counter-terrorism expert. The Freedom Convoy have set up a supply site 6km away, they built the instant shack kitchen, they have even brought in three saunas to help keep protesters warm. About 400 trucks are holding firm near Parliament Hill, and about 100 of those have families with children sleeping in them. The optics of any forced removal will look appalling.
Chief Peter Sloly, Ottawa Police Service admits there is not much he can do:
“There is likely no policing solution to this”.
Tom Quiggan, former military intelligence:
“I would say the opposition at this point doesn’t actually have a strategy. They have a sort of weak goal, in that they want the streets cleared, but they have no real idea of how they want to get there.”
One policeman involved spoke out against the police doing politicians dirty work. He said something had happened which had changed him, being asked to remove Canadian protestors gas tanks. He knew this was wrong, and it conflicted with the whole reason he joined the force. His job was to protect the people, not take things from them.

Trudeau has lost the moral highground
He has tried to tar and smear the Truckers, call them racist, and it’s failed. There is no easy way out — he’s painted himself in a corner. It’s a game of double or nothing and it looks more ridiculous by the day. As long as the Truckers stay defiantly Canadian, and completely well behaved, they will win. Trudeau could have stopped this all so easily — all he has to do is take away the vaccine mandates — instead there are no paths to victory left for him that don’t involve a major back-down or tyrannical force. He loses either way.
The police have seized 3,700 litres of fuel and yet the fuel for Truckers keeps coming.
Trudeau can’t order the police, the tow trucks, or the military to take the trucks away. The police are apparently taking long service leave and holidays, and the tow truck drivers “all have Covid”.
The shunned CBC are now painting the protestors as “military”:
Despite a strategic strike by police to cut off supplies to truckers encamped in the city’s downtown core, protesters appear to still have the upper hand on police.
It’s a success that experts partly attribute to the deep knowledge of law enforcement and military tactics that exist in the convoy’s organizational structure.
The group Police on Guard, formed during the pandemic, has endorsed the truck convoy. On its website, it publicly identifies more than 150 mostly retired police officers who are against government-imposed public health measures, such as vaccine mandates. More than 50 former Canadian Forces soldiers are also named on its site.
The organization says it has “boots on the ground” in Ottawa and has linked to YouTube videos of its members participating in the protest.
The Truckers refuse to do any interviews with the hostile press (like the CBC). This is excellent — it denies the CBC the footage to use against them in heavily misleading edits. It denies the CBC any relevance at all.
Michael Kempa, an associate professor of criminology at the University of Ottawa, says the convoy’s policing and military expertise can be seen in the co-ordination of their activities in downtown Ottawa.
“They have this sort of military or police or at least survivalist training. Look at the sophistication of what they’re setting up in terms of an encampment in downtown Ottawa,” said Kempa, who studies policing across Canada.
“It looks like a military operation.”
In the core, abandoned cars and trucks with their tires removed are blocking streets. To Kempa, the placement of these vehicles is not random but rather strategic in that they may prevent police infiltration.
This CBC News segment below is fascinating — having been made irrelevant, I wonder if this like a wake up moment for one CBC reporter, who has listened for hours to protesters talking on “Zello” — an App on phones that works like a CB radio.
The issue at the heart of it is just “freedom to choose”.
She does a very respectable job of describing what’s going on — I’m shocked. And perhaps she’s one of the good people left on the CBC, just as there are a few still at the ABC and BBC. Or maybe, having listened for hours a few at the national broadcaster realize they have to change their approach or they risk being left behind entirely by the winning side.
This new workers revolution are aware, perhaps thanks to the fallout from the Jan 6 protest in Washington, that the legacy media are the enemy, and that agents of government bureaucracies might be wandering among them, trying to incite bad behaviour. These protesters are so much more aware of the old traps, so much more politically sophisticated.
A desperate government and a despised media
In desperation there are thinly veiled hints that the government is concerned about the children in the Truckers Protest. About 100 trucks have children with them. This is overreach on a mass scale which will ignite a fire of indignant determination. Furious truckers started counter-interviewing some hapless CBC journalist who turned up — the truckers were demanding he tell them whether their children are in danger “Yes or No”!
The media have become so disparaged — all the large organisation are banned from interviews with Protest leaders, and even the man-in-the-street now knows the media are the problem. CTV gushed over the BLM and Antifa destroying statues, but now CTV Edmonton have peeled off their car branding stickers “for safety”. One journalist at the TorontoStar claims rather hysterically that the flag has been “critically injured”:
He then goes on to admit — without any irony — that he didn’t like the flag anyway:
I am not a flag-waver; never have been. I don’t own one, I don’t wear flag lapel pins. And like generations of Canadian backpackers, I only donned a Canadian flag patch while travelling many years ago in Europe to avoid being mistaken as an American.
Which says it all. The Canada-hating journalist class is completely flummoxed by the Canada-loving Truckers.
It’s a turning point
A few days ago CBC news was painting them as angry people, who were disorganized, and being used by other groups with an agenda. See the video at “Protests in Ottawa crossed line from ‘expression of ideas’ to ‘extortion,’ criminologist says“. This was an interview with the same criminologist who now says they are organized like a military operation. How times change in just a few days?
The Truckers are winning, and the partisans are adjusting their narrative.
These Canadian truckers — and everyone cheering them on, despite the rage of the establishment — are saving Canada. They’re already making us more free. They’ve done more damage to Trudeau than the last two Conservative Party leaders combined. They’re a political tsunami.
They’ve restored a sense of community in a country that Trudeau and Butts pitted against itself. They’ve restored a common purpose in a country where lockdown laws kept us isolated from each other. They’ve literally been a moveable street festival. They’re great Canadians.
They told us the mRNA in the injections wouldn’t last long, barely a few days, and the protein spikes made from the vaccines would only stick around for “a few weeks”. But now, after 60% of the worlds population has been vaccinated, now we find out that the CCP bioweapon spikes are still there in lymph nodes two months after the last injection, and so is some of the mRNA. And we don’t know how much longer those spikes keep churning out, because no one has done that study.
Pause for a moment to wonder how it is that we could inject four billion people “for health reasons” yet no one knew the most basic things about how it worked, like, how long the vaccine mRNA might survive, and keep producing spikes for, or how many spikes it might keep making.
Now comes the bad news that mRNA-vaccinated people may be making more spikes than severely ill Covid patients, and that the mRNA survives much longer than anyone expected.
The hidden highlight (lede) buried in this peer reviewed paper is that protein production of spike in people vaccinated with the Moderna or Pfizer vaccine is higher than those of severely ill COVID-19 patients!
This study asserts that the mRNA and the spike protein produced persists for weeks in lymph node germinal centers in human patients. Having worked with mRNA for decades, I can attest that this is highly unusual.
Click to enlarge. Figure 6. Disrupted Lymph Nodes GCs in COVID-19 patients versus mRNA vaccinees. (B) Representative immunohistochemistry of GCs with CD21 (left), BCL6 (middle) and PD-1 (right) in peribronchial LNs of an autopsy patient who died of COVID-19, a control autopsy patient who died from a non-COVID-19 pneumonia (pre-pandemic), and in an axillary Lymph node of a patient vaccinated with a SARS-CoV-2 mRNA vaccine.
To stop the mRNA from being degraded as normal RNA would be, the manufacturers used a synthetic type of nucleic acid — a pseudo-uridine instead of the normal uridine. Is it a bit like the plastic waste that takes years longer to breakdown in landfill? Could be. All our normal enzymes that chop up RNA might be stuck, flummoxed, and the mRNA might last for months…
One very real hypothesis is that the substitution of pseudouridine for uridine to avoid the immune response is working so well that the mRNA is completely evading the normal clearance/degradation pathways. Hence, mRNA that is not being incorporated into cells at the injection site, is migrating to the lymph nodes (and throughout the body as the non-clinical Pfizer data suggest?) and continuing to express protein there. In this case, the cytotoxic protein antigen is spike. Spike protein can be detected for at least 60 days after administration of dose. Note that the duration of the protein expression was only tested for 60 days.
In Figure 7 the researchers found vaccine mRNA in the GCs of Lymph Nodes up to day 37 post vaccination (middle column), but there was still a lower but “appreciable specific signal” of mRNA even at day 60. The Spike was found even up to day 60 (right column).

Probe hybridization is indicated by red chromogen spots. IHC signal for spike antigen (right panels), is detected as granular brown staining.
More spike than a severe case of Covid:
… the study quantitatively measured spike protein levels in plasma after vaccination. Which, it turns out, are higher than the levels observed in a person with a severe COVID-19 infection. Just to write it, the fact that this only now being discovered or it it was known, released to the public is criminal in my opinion. This should have been characterized long ago, including prior to beginning human clinical trials.
The biggest medical experiment ever….
That this has not been published or investigated more demonstrates the gross regulatory dereliction of duty by Pfizer, Biointech, Moderna, NIAID VRC and that whole crew. Using these vaccines, which include pseudouridine without fully understanding the implications and without the FDA requiring a complete pre-clinical toxicology regulatory package, including long-term follow-up, as is done with any other unique chemical or adjuvant additive is shocking.
So many institutions have failed us
It’s not just the corporate Pharma giants who have failed the public. What about the CDC, the FDA, the TGA, the Chief Health Officers, and all the professors at our public funded universities that didn’t ask the right questions, that assured us the vaccines were safe and the mRNA would be degraded quickly?
What about all the publicly funded science journalists at the BBC, ABC, CBC and NPR etc? That’s a lot of science unit investigative reporters who didn’t investigate. What do we pay public broadcasters to do — if not to grill scientists about the most important health policy decisions in the last 30 years?
The length of time the spike is produced for could have all kinds of effects. Not only will it increase the adverse effects, but if it is expressed too long, it could even reduce the immunity, or desensitize people to the very thing they are meant to be sensitized too. We really don’t know.
Robert Malone wonders if the pseudouridine was just the cheap option to avoid paying out on patents:
To note: The use of pseudouridine in these mRNA vaccines is not the only option. It has often been hypothesized that the reason Dr. Kariko added pseudouridine to the mRNA vaccine was to make an improvement to the original mRNA patents that I was an inventor on. An improvement to an existing patent allows commercialization of that patent. It is an old trick. Remember, that Curevac does not use pseudouridine in its formulation and it is not required or necessary for a significant immune response.
We had so many better choices
The mRNA technology is so new and risky. There are too many moving parts and unknowns. I’ve said before that we didn’t know how much protein spike people might make, and it was obvious that some people might make a lot more spike than others. At least with a protein-vaccine, like Novavax or the Australian Covax-19 the injection has a fixed amount of protein. We know what we’re getting. It’s still a nasty spike, a bad protein, and it’s still an out of date version of a virus that doesn’t exist anywhere — but there is a known quantity, and it’s not being made inside your own cells and displayed on healthy normal cells. That in itself ought to reduce the risk of autoimmune diseases like myocarditis.

In response to a question from Strop on why this matters:
The issue is mRNA is an entirely new technology, which has not even had basic testing and research done on it, and they’ve been lying about all of that.
They say they care about our health, but if they did, they would have done this testing and in 2020. That failure and deception is criminal.
If we had informed consent they would have told us how uncertain it was.
If people are being double dosed on a three week schedule, the first dose is still being processed and present when the second dose goes in. No wonder the second dose is such an issue. In Toxicology, the dose makes the poison — yet we didn’t even realize that the second dose was a “double dose”.
The spike itself is toxic — it binds to 13 different receptors in our tissues including crucial ones like ACE2 which lowers blood pressure. If spikes are still wandering two months later, that’s a major potential risk. Does it increase blood clotting and stroke or heart attack risk for months, and how long?
Not only does this show Pfizer and Moderna lied for profit, but that they were assisted by Professors of Microbiology etc who went on TV and swore these injections were safe. It also shows the failure of all the regulatory agencies who should have been demanding this data before they would even consider approving them.
It shows we should have rushed any other kind of vaccine into production before we rushed a totally new and unknown technology into mass production. REFERENCE
All Trudeau has to do is declare vaccination is voluntary…
The Trucks can’t be towed away — apparently all the towing companies “have Covid”. And the Truckers have been resolutely peaceful and considerate (honking aside). The protests are spreading, not shrinking. The Ambassador Bridge is now also blockaded — that’s the major bridge connecting Detroit, Michigan and Windsor. Hundreds of Truckers on the Alberta border are still gathered there. The Cavalry has arrived! Hordes of cowboys on horses have joined them. In Alaska, trucks are gathering too. Truckers in Alaska can’t drive to the rest of the USA without crossing the Canadian border.
The Ottawa Mayor has declared a “State of Emergency” because people were burning down buildings, destroying statues, and looting Nike stores — wait… No. That’s all fine. It’s a state of emergency because someone is honking horns. Trudeau could have come out to meet the workers revolution, listen to them, and negotiate, as any good leader would. Instead, the troopers started to arrest people carrying cans of fuel or propane gas to support the Truckers. Staying warm in parked trucks is now an act of insurrection.
With everyone carrying red jerry cans, it’s hard for the police to find the few with fuel.
These Jerry Cans are “Filled with love”. Rebel News.
In three and a half days since GoFundMe tried to steal the donations, donors have already re-given almost 80% of the funds. The Freedom Convoy donations at GiveSendGo are now up to $6.2 million USD.
So much for it being “fringe”: One third of Canadians feel they have a lot in common with the Truckers protest. Obviously the protest includes a lot of vaccinated people as well.
Ezra Levant: Trudeau is scared, and he doesn’t know how to stop this:
The DailyMail, quotes one Brian Gregg, a trucker from the US who is at the protest in Ottawa, saying:
…he’s amazed at the amount of support the truckers have received from the public.
‘We have access to whatever we need. I haven’t spent a dime since I’ve been here.’
The Freedom Convoy is well organized, according to Gregg. ‘Every street with truck drivers parked on it has a block leader, about 20-30 drivers per block leader. The block leader is the person you go to if you need anything – food, gas, clothing, shelter, etc.’
Gas is a hot commodity to these diesel drivers who haven’t moved their trucks in over a week, while still idling their engines to keep warm. Gregg said men come by with wheelbarrows or wagons hauling 5-gallon jerry cans of diesel fuel to keep their trucks running.
Apparently US truckers are coming to help with spare diesel:
Workers of the world unite. You have nothing to lose but your chains.
Karl Marx never spent a moment in a factory. He was a rich kid who became a journalist. Of course he was. But for more than 150 years, Karl Marx inspired generations of other rich kids who also became journalists to repeat his line or variations of it.
…consider what’s happening right now in Canada. Thousands of truck drivers have descended on Ottawa, the capital city, to protest the tyranny of Justin Trudeau’s government. Justin Trudeau does not like truck drivers. He thinks they’re revolting. Justin Trudeau likes private equity barons and tech moguls, the only people who give him money. Trudeau is not in Ottawa right now. In fact, he and his family fled when the truck drivers arrived and they’ve been in hiding ever since. So when the revolution he has been calling for finally arrived, Justin Trudeau wasn’t there to see it. He ran away in terror, kind of sad.
… in his place, his friend Mark Carney has been speaking for him. Carney is a former Goldman Sachs executive who many believe will replace Justin Trudeau if Trudeau ever decides to give up power. In a recent op-ed, Mark Carney vented his rage …””Anyone sending money to the convoy should be in no doubt,” Carney wrote. “You are funding sedition. Foreign funders of an insurrection interfered in our domestic affairs from the start.” “
Got it? That is not a protest. It’s sedition. It’s an insurrection.
