Oligarchy’s Response to the Freedom Convoy Bodes Ill for Them
American Greatness ^ | 12 Feb 2022 | Roger Kimball

The deposition of Canada’s prime minister is unlikely to be so sanguinary as the Ceaușescus in Romania. But it will be no less definitive.

As I write, Canadian police, many dressed in military garb and supported by armored vehicles and snipers(!), are moving in to enforce several court orders and demands of Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau, Ontario Premier Doug Ford, and others that the “Freedom Convoy” of Canadian truckers stop blocking the Ambassador Bridge, the major artery between the United States and Canada, and disperse. Some of the protestors are leaving while many others are standing their ground.

Will the heavy hand of the state succeed in crushing the protest? In the short term, perhaps.

On Friday, Fox News host Tucker Carlson presented a montage of Canadian and American officials berating the truckers and threatening all sorts of dire retribution should they fail to obey their masters. Carlson was right: the hysterical squeaking of Justin Trudeau, U.S. Transportation Secretary Pete Buttigieg, Michigan Governor Gretchen Whitmer, and the other political mannequins was pathetic—a sign of impotence, not strength.

I agree. I really think this is the best thing that could happen.

The free world appears (to me at least) to be in the grip of a terrible cabal.

We need to rip off the bandaid and take care of this or it will fester.

<< Joe Biden was trespassing on the same territory when he said that if you want to take on the government, you’ll need “some nukes and F15s.” >>

No Joe, just a serous tax revolt.

I would be wary of the sniper talk. I don't think the Windsor Police have any snipers. I don't think the OPP sent snipers down, the crowd is conspicuously unarmed, this is Canada. Despite all the talk, the army is not going to get involved.

There were police on the roof of the Lebel building that overlooks that block of Huron Line. They would have been stupid not to put observers up there.

Short of foreign troops, Canada does not have the resources to quell a popular uprising like this.

I suspect that said cabal didn’t anticipate the popularity of the protest and thought they could use the “racist” trope to squash it. As it grew, they doubled down thinking themselves to be superior, and powerful enough to end it with fines and loss of licenses and such. A powerful miscalculation as the protesters already had nothing to lose.

My grandpa was a cop. Sergent in the Detroit Mounted Police.
He asked me one day, “Who is the most dangerous man in the world?” Then he answered his own question, “ A man that has nothing to lose.”

I don’t have a problem with every idiot who swallowed every MSM lie for the last 40 years, who also ran out and got the vaccine because the TV told them to, dropping dead of VAIDS.

Ultimately, it aint the vaccine that will kill them, it’s the brainwashing.

“The deposition of Canada’s prime minister is unlikely to be so sanguinary as the Ceaușescus in Romania. But it will be no less definitive.”

Translation: History may not repeat, but don’t be surprised if it rhymes.

TrueDoe won’t let truckers do their job without jabs.

So truckers have 3 choices:
.1. get jabbed (often as it turns out)
.2. sit at home and don’t do deliveries.
.3. sit in their trucks at a protest and don’t deliver.

If the oppressors don’t stop oppressing, and unleash their hounds on #3, then perhaps the truckers do #2?
