Ontario Premier Doug Ford declares state of emergency in effort to end truck convoy blockade
CTV News Toronto ^ | Feb. 11th, 2022 | Katherine DeClerq

Ontario Premier Doug Ford has declared a state of emergency in an effort to put an end to the “siege” in Ottawa and Windsor as the truck convoy protests continue to disrupt traffic and prevent the transport of goods across the Canadian border.

Ford made the announcement Friday at Queen’s Park, saying he will convene cabinet and “use legal authorities to urgently enact orders” that will protect international border crossings, as well as the 400-series highways, airports, bridges, ports and railways in the province.

Fines for non-compliances will be severe, the premier said, with a maximum penalty of $100,000 and up to a year imprisonment.

The only thing he needs to declare immediately is a diet. Fat CAT tyrant worried about his next Twinkie.

Wondered if that “leaked call” was a fake-out?

why not just declare an end to mandates, isn’t that the far better choice?

Sensible people adjust their thinking as conditions warrant it. Dull people do nothing. Tyrants double down.

And we’re dealing with tyrants here.

“The siege”…lol. The working guy, I thought, were supported by the left. Just more lies over the centuries from the radical left.

However, If you’re for tyranny it’s labeled “the right to a mostly peaceful protest”

They have no access to that bridge.

A wall of trucks.

A bunch of peaceful truckers are a national security threat (while rioting BLM-ers were not, apparently).

Here we see some truth: those who make politicians of the Left look bad will be stomped on.

A lovely lady went for a tour of the trucker’s demonstration. She made this beautiful video

Huh? I though they already did that. On top of the CONvid emergency. So is this like a triple secret suspension or something?

So Ford used to be a Trump sympathizer. Apparently the Canadian Aluminum tariffs threw a kink in that.

But it does mean that he can be persuaded.

What he should do is completely abrogate any support for vax mandates. That’s all they have to do.

Otherwise the police state response will destroy his career along with all the allies of TrueDope.
