Tens of thousands of Canadian protesters have converged on other cities and are springing up all around Canada.

Do you have sources for this?

That’s a good point, I forgot about that.

Rush always used to point that out. Apparently 10 libtarts mounted an assault on his company that made it look like hundreds of thousands. Also he used to talk about how he same thing was done against McDonalds when they changed how they cooked their fries.

Maybe how far gone it looks like we are... is simply an illusion. Boy, I hope that’s true.

As I stated, even bigger protests are springing up all over Canada, this is video of pro-freedom/anti-Fidel protesters in Calgary this morning, huge crowd.

Trudolf has paid them all off. They’re nothing but bought-and-paid-for propagandists at this point.

The citizens property is not the governments property.

That is a fair point. But there are business owners whose operations have been negatively affected because of the blockade. Why shouldn't they have recourse against the assets of those truckers?

I wonder, has Mr. Watson considered that the truckers might know, or be able to find out, where he lives?

Mr. Watson, you take a man's freedoms, his means of livelihood away from him, some of those folks are going to be in the "nothing left to lose" category. You might want to consider that before taking any more actions in a futile attempt to impose your personal will on the people you are supposed to be representing.

Jesus H. Christ, can anyone do some of their own research, why do you always have to ask, go out and look for yourself if you want to know the truth because I don’t give a crap if you believe me or not. The only thing that will convince people for certain is if they go out and find their own sources of info and news that they trust. I just cannot believe how effing lazy some people on our side are, if they’re actually on our side.

I am so effing sick of people responding Do you have sources, of course I do, go find your own.

"And I want to see them sold. I don't want the return to these people who've been causing such frustration and angst in our community."

And truckers all over Canada should be thinking to themselves, "STOP the flow."

Do not truck-in ANYTHING to Ottawa. No subsistence supplies at all. Heck, throw in the rest of their big cities, too. Turn them into urban deserts until this leftist, despotic insanity stops.

I would NEVER buy a vehicle confiscated in such a manner.

I’m reminded of a somewhat analogous situation in Ancient Rome when Tiberius sought retribution against his political enemies and began seizing their estates and selling them. The result was not a flood of money into the state treasury, but a crash of the property market.

Have those businesses been adversely affected more by the 4 week protest or the 2 year government lockdown? Do the companies have course against the government for driving them out of business?

We are pretty far gone, but we are going to have to fight. Those monsters are going full speed and unless you want to live as a slave, a battle has to be waged.

Buy the trucks and then return them like they used to do with family farms. Just keep the buyer a secret.

The two are not mutually exclusive. There is recourse against the government at the ballot box. And people and organizations sue governments all the time. But that doesn’t change my question. If the truckers shut down your business for 4 weeks, should you have recourse against them by selling their assets?
