Looks like justin will have to roll in the state police and make a real scene. Geez what could go wrong. The cameras will be rolling justin just like the left always has them on waiting for a cop to mess up.
Canadian truckers plan to continue protesting coronavirus restrictions leveled by their government, despite attempts by public officials to disrupt them.
“Our biggest tool for change is patience. We got all the time in the world,” B.J. Dichter, the spokesman and vice president of the Canadian “Freedom Convoy” protests Daily host and Editor-in-Chief Alex Marlow in an interview on Sirius-XM Patriot.

Cosmic writes for Deadspin, actually.
“Mike McDaniel, the San Francisco 49ers offensive coordinator who has gone viral for his “adorable” news conferences featuring references to Mike Jones and engaging answers, is ticking off all the boxes to be the next trendy, young, white guy who takes a head coaching position before one of the many deserving Black candidates.”
……
“Editors’ note: We learned after the publication of this article that 49ers OC Mike McDaniel, whom we describe as a “white guy,” is in fact biracial. The article’s original text remains below. We regret the error.”
Sure, Mike McDaniel seems cool, but he’s not worthy of a head coaching gig yet
Please stop and think before you inadvertently dub another young, white guy as the next hot NFL coaching prospect

I would love to see it happen across the world. I have said from the beginning that no one holds a bigger trump card than our truck drivers. Kudos to them for doing what many cannot or will not do and sacrificing their livelihood and open to attacks for standing up for theirs and our freedoms. I hope it happens in the US next. Power to the truckers!
So, I have a trucker question:
What is up with their slow, miles long passes of other trucks, where they are going about 65.01 mph, and the other truck they are passing is going 65 mph, thus blocking both lanes of a 70 mph interstate?
He was a bad dude.
Strange how the media have never sought him out to get his side of the story, huh?
The truckers are just accelerating their end:

The “driver out” test run took place on a December night and lasted one hour and 20 minutes.
Maybe they should just hold up some blm signs and justin will call on the goon squad fast as can be.
UPDATE from Trudeau’s Canada — Windsor Police Continue to Move in on Freedom Protesters — SNIPERS on Roof Rain Hell Down on Peaceful Protesters
I see a bunch of whiney baby bitches throwing a temper tantrum over the dumbest shit.
In other words more dumbass Trumpster fake victim hood where mainly a small group of white male obnoxious assholes are doing their best to shit all over everyone again.
F em.
The solution is simple and is the same playbook when dealing with an actual, legitimate labor strike (not this clown cause), you take away their license and impound their trucks.
Unfortunately you have to take enforcement away from more important issues because, well assholes have to asshole, and you pull them out of their trucks then impound the vehicle.
Unfortunately that will take some time but again, assholes have to asshole.
If it's true that these assholes are a severe minority then they won't be missed and can be replaced eventually.
We did it with air traffic controllers, we can do it with truckers.
I'd give them a day to protest but if it goes longer we start pulling licenses and blackballing.
Then the assholes will understand what it's like to be a victim for real this time.
I hope every trucker throughout the US strikes tomorrow and seats that way. There is already a severe driver shortage. Punishing people for doing what appears to be within their right is a great strategy. These guys have every bit of a right to protest just as every other group does. Would your solution be to punish every protestor regardless of cause / issue with some sort of equivalent to removing truckers licenses? Why do you care what these truckers do? Did you feel the same way about the people protesting in Seattle and various other cities last year?
Hey. Francis. I wasn’t replying to you. It was a response to your boy @TommyCracker😉
Well for one this is supposedly a very small faction of the whole (I'm assuming because it's 100% political vs an industry protest which impacts all truckers) so busting it should be easy.
Plus this protest isn't a 'I'm not going to work' typically strike protest, this is a 'I'm going to block everything, including vital roadways that are needed for emergency vehicles to get through...which is where the real obnoxious asshole comes into play.
So the cause is dumb and political bitching and the means are obnoxious and dangerous.
So yeah, it needs to be busted.
Protesting always has some repercussions. In this case I'd take licenses away. Maybe they can become coders in their next profession if they are able to explain why they decided to join this protest in the job interview.

Then why did you quote my post, Francis? That usually signifies that you are responding.
Maybe we should look at this as a protest vs a strike.
Which means we should shoot them with rubber bullets, sic dogs on them, hose them down, pepper spray them, quarter them off, beat the shit out of them with clubs, grenade them.
The typical enforcement tactics.
Maybe I'm not looking at this correctly. I'm looking at this as a strike protest vs a political protest.
Where is the swat? Where is the riot gear? Why aren't we cracking these truckers skulls?
Again, who exactly do these truckers claiming "freedom" represent? Again 80% of Canadians and 90% of Canada's truckers are already vaccinated. All of the groups who actually represent the interests of truckers (not Trucking Company owners) have disavowed these folks. Their main support seems to be coming from right wing media and adherents in the US, which views them as a cause celebre. But how do actual Canadians feel?
So some interesting findings in a brand new Maru Public Opinion poll released this morning, and this is not an issue where Canadians are equally divided, like the current political reality in the US. These folks have very little support among fellow Canadians- 20% in this poll. Canadians are not happy...
"The latest survey by Maru Public Opinion finds 64 per cent approve using the Armed Forces to clear out trucks with heavy tows while 53 per cent support the use of force by Ottawa police to remove truckers, their families and others who refuse to leave. This includes the use of tear gas and other methods, with the understanding that such measures could result in injury" More...
"Two-thirds of Canadians believe Canada’s democracy is being threatened by the protesters while 67 per cent of those asked believe the truckers are being heavily funded by foreign interests. Six in 10 equate the current protests to the same mob that stormed the U.S. Capitol back on January 6, 2021.
Forty-six per cent blame the truckers for inciting and escalating the protests over the past two weeks while almost a third lay the blame at the feet of the prime minister. Another seven per cent blame the leadership of the federal Conservative party while one in six say “others” are responsible."

A new poll finds more than two-thirds of Canadians would support the use of military force to help clear out Ottawa protesters, while support for the truckers has fallen to 20 per cent

Another stat that I found interesting is that while 44% feel Trudeau has inflamed the situation, 53% blame him for not being tough enough and letting the protestors make him look weak...
Because, Francis, you were grouped with Francis @TommyCracker. Francis.
Don’t have the time nor desire to read all that you posted. The point , for me, isn’t that 80%+ are vaccinated. The point is that you should have a choice of vaccination. For that, I applaud them and I hope it happens in the US. Peoples’s freedoms are what is being fought for. The vaccine is just the subject here. They are standing up for you, me, and everyone else to not be dictated to and have personal freedoms removed. That’s how I see it.Again, who exactly do these truckers claiming "freedom" represent?

So, you quoted my post and TC’s, then replied only to TC, then don’t understand why I would wonder why you quoted me as if you meant to respond to me? Then say you weren’t talking to me as if I was out of line for asking.
Okay, Francis.
i don’t use the app and I’m on my cell phone. Doing the best I can here Francis!😂😂😂So, you quoted my post and TC’s, then replied only to TC, then don’t understand why I would wonder why you quoted me as if you meant to respond to me?

Heavily funded by foreign interests? Perhaps one in particular that is getting ready to invade it's European neighbor.

Bailey, curious about what beer you like. Also do you pour it into a proper vessel, or drink it from the can or bottle ?

Protesting is fine. I support their cause and I’d support their protest.
But that’s not what they’re doing. What they’re doing is illegal and it’s hurting people.
And they are not holding up blm signs. If they did it would all be cool.
Okay, then pick another one of the 45 countries that live longer than people in the US.
https://www.worldometers.info/demographics/life-expectancy/
And...of course, the US has by far the most expensive healthcare in the world. 70% more per capita than the next country. (Switzerland)..
It's disgusting.
This is something that Josh Marshall referenced today. You're absolutely right. There are definitely some plain old Joe Sixpack truckers, but
"What’s happening in Ottawa, they were clear, is two separate events happening in tandem: there is a broadly non-violent (to date) group of Canadians with assorted COVID-related gripes, ranging from the somewhat justified to totally frickin’ insane. But that larger group, which has knocked Ottawa and too many of our leaders into what my colleague Jen Gerson so perfectly described as “stun-****ed stasis,” is now providing a kind of (mostly) unwitting cover to a cadre of seasoned street brawlers whose primary goal is to further erode the legitimacy of the state — not just the city of Ottawa, or Ontario or Canada, but of democracies generally."
"Some of them are ideologues, others just grifters, but they’re real, and they’re in Ottawa. Maybe not in that parking lot. I certainly didn’t get the chance to take any names. But local officials know they’re out and about, and are worried that any move they make will trigger an incident that can easily result in dead cops, dead truckers and delighted far-right agitators."
Definitely a must read (IMHO).
Dispatch from the Ottawa Front: Sloly is telling you all he's in trouble. Who's listening?
The scale of Ottawa's defeat is a jarring and continuing indictment of the capacity of the Canadian state, and the state must reverse this situation, decisively.

The Situation in Canada is Worse Than It Looks
I wanted to share with you this post about the situation in Ottawa, sent along TPM Reader JK. I recommend reading the whole thing. But this is the gist: What’s happening in Ottawa, they were clear…

Unibroue in Quebec makes some incredible beer. La Fin Du Monde, for instance:
La Fin Du Monde | Unibroue
La Fin Du Monde is a Tripel style beer brewed by Unibroue in Chambly, QC, Canada. Score: 96 with 10,661 ratings and reviews. Last update: 12-13-2022.
I suppose it’s for many reasons depending upon the driver. The obvious is simply because they can. One other clear reason is to piss people off!
What on Earth are you talking about? Interfering with the main trade routes between the US and Canada and stifling both economies is not a legitimate protest and is not "within their rights". The courts in Canada have ruled on this already. They will lose their licenses and will get $100,000 CN fines.
"Following the court order, Windsor Police put out a statement to "make demonstrators clearly aware that it is a criminal offence" to block the border crossing. The police added that a criminal conviction could lead to the seizure of vehicles and the inability to enter the US."
@Hoopsdoc1978 has his livelihood in jeopardy (at least temporarily) because of these bozos.

Crowds of protesters are flouting the injunction and continue to occupy a vital border crossing.

Yeah and if it's a three lane interstate there will be a third truck doing 65.02 mph passing the one doing 65.01 mph.
I will withhold judgement until Pillow Guy speaks about it.
