The Transformers have arrived in Ottawa:

Trudeau or the media will never tell you this, but Freedom Convoy protesters and a disabled veteran are shoveling snow off the National War Memorial in Ottawa. “17,000 men and women died for this country; this is the way they get treated. Not on my watch.”

The honking continues in Ottawa, Canada, as truckers and demonstrators, aspiring for freedom, enter day eight of protests in the nation’s capital

Yesterday I was driving on I-80 past Berkeley and there were people standing on a pedestrian overpass holding signs against vaxx mandates for children. The only two people who honked in approval were me and a trucker in the next lane. The freeway was completely packed. Fucking shit, California is fucking hopeless.

Ottawa Police Seize Fuel From Freedom Convoy Protest Site, Make More Arrests

In a statement issued at 9 p.m. local time, police said they have arrested seven people. The arrests were for mischief charges throughout the day.

Police also said they had seized multiple vehicles and fuel containers.

I think the right thing to do here is:

1. Let them arrest you. The jails will quickly be overwhelmed.
2. Bring in much, much more food and fuel for the protesters.

Patrick says

Coutts is a border down between the US and Canada.

Is this where all the old coutts come from?

This is what the Quakers did in England. They refused to swear an oath to the King and were to a man arrested for treason. So many Quakers filled the jails that the gubment had to release the real criminals in order to fit the "treasonous" Quakers. With all the released criminals, England suffered an epidemic of highway robbery by the "highwaymen." These were the criminals that had been released who realized that there were no consequences for crime (since there was no room in the jails because of all the Quakers) and set upon the nobility in their carriages. Eventually, the limey king cut Willaim Penn a deal: all Quakers would be freed as long as the emigrated to North America. He even gave them a royal charter for the territory now known as Pennsylvania.

The civil rights movement in the 60's had the same goal: overload the jail. In the Children's March, so many children were arrested, that they had to house them in open cattle pens exposed to the elements. Since this was in the south, they only had to contend with rain and the sun.

Speaking of the sun, there is nothing new under it. We learn from the examples of our brave ancestors who realized that it is only when essentially everyone is willing to stand up against tyranny that tyranny will be defeated. It is only when good men and women do nothing in the face of evil that evil can win.

Viva Frei had a great livestream on Saturday. Literally walked across a bridge with his family from Quebec to Ottawa to check things out. Their hotel reservations in downtown Ottawa had been cancelled by Expedia.

Actually, studies have shown only 3% is necessary. American Revolution was fought by a minority. That's how it usually goes. We do the grunt work, and if we win, THEN everyone joins us.

Government has bought up all the hotel reservations. They're hoping that plus the gas ban will end things.

Trudeau Orders All Geese Rounded Up And Shot For Honking In Solidarity With Truckers

I found several used truck tractors for as low as $11K on Craigslist. Fully functioning with about 300K miles on the clock and minor issues like a coolant leak... Might not be a good vehicle for real trucking but fucking perfect to be parked in the middle of some Sacramento intersection. Add a used trailer for $5-6K and it becomes even perfectER. =))

One of the frustrations of the Covid Cult is that the folks in the Resistance are not cancellable.

Most of us are previously unknown, don’t have fancy high profile resumes we’re trying to defend at all costs, and won’t get fired for speaking out.

Basically, we’re truckers.

Yup.

A bit more evidence of police resignations:

Many Canadians wrote in with their personal experiences of the trucker convoy. Here’s one report:

I live in a mid-sized city in Southwestern Ontario, roughly 6 hours from Ottawa, in good traffic. On Thursday, I drove up with a friend to Ottawa to see the convoy as it rolled into town. Up the 401 (the busiest highway in North America and the critical artery that ties Southwestern Ontario together), we saw crowds of people waving flags, holding signs with supportive messages for the convoy, and cheers on every overpass. Anytime that we were near a tractor-trailer as it rolled under a bridge, the crowds packed on top hooped and hollered—even though there was no way to tell if that truck was part of the convoy!

On Thursday night, Ottawa was still relatively quiet, although there were a lot of Canadian flags flying from pickups and SUVs. Regular folks who got in their cars, pickups, SUVs, and vans beat the convoy to Ottawa on Thursday night and early Friday morning.

Around 10 AM on Friday, January 28, the HONKING began. Day 1 of The HOONKENING. People in pickups, cars, SUVs, vans were starting to pile into town, and they began jamming up roads in the downtown core, most importantly Wellington St, the street the Parliament buildings sit on. As far as I can ascertain, the first big trucks arrived from the Southwestern Ontario leg a couple of hours later. They, too, piled up on Wellington St and other roads in the downtown core and held their horns down.

Seemingly, entire hotels in Downtown Ottawa were booked out by protestors. I walked the streets of downtown with a group of friends on Friday night. Despite the temperature hovering somewhere around -27℃, the city was one giant block party. Folks were screaming at the top of their lungs for "FREEEEEEEEDOM!!!!" firecrackers and fireworks popped off intermittently, HOONKING was incessant. One woman was running around with her shirt off, wearing body paint that said "My Body, My Choice," while a burly gent wielded dual Canadian flags wearing nothing but his underwear and some steel-toes.

People actually had fun in this country for the first time in two years.

I entered the lobby of the Ottawa Marriott hotel, and the best way I can describe the scene is by likening it to the Taliban takeover of the American embassy in Kabul last year. Gents were guzzling wine straight from the bottle, smokes were lit, and no one was wearing a mask except for the cowed security guard standing by the door, head down, having been defeated earlier that day by the sheer overwhelming numbers.

We moved up the floors, and every suite had a raucous party underway. I got up to the 26th floor and stepped out onto the balcony to see the whole street below packed with crowds of people streaming between the trucks, still honking, echoing up into the sky. Ottawa was occupied.

I managed to retreat to a quiet place on the outskirts of town and lay down to rest. But, the party did not stop. It stretched into the morning of Saturday, halted for an hour or so around 8 AM so people could grab some breakfast, and then revved right back up again. Everyone in the downtown core converged on Parliament like moths to a light. Parliamentary Security put barriers up at every entrance except one, creating a chokepoint everyone had to pass through. However, the numbers proved decisive again, and they soon gave up any attempts at screening the crowd.

This was also when the Western leg arrived in town, further causing massive traffic jams and effectively forcing pedestrian travel in the downtown core.

The scene was much the same on Sunday, except the focus shifted from the Hill itself to a truck parked across Wellington St equipped with a flatbed and a booming sound system. Maxime Bernier, the leader of the People's Party of Canada (the only political party that has fought against covid restrictions since the beginning and the first organized group, in general, to do so), spoke and got huge applause from the crowd.

Many people headed home on Sunday night, and the crowd had noticeably thinned on Monday, yet Wellington St was still loaded with trucks. On Tuesday, when I left, all but the most hardcore truckers had left the city. The group still present at the Hill intend to stay there for two to four years if necessary!

Since returning to my home city, I have noticed that mask compliance has absolutely cratered, though it was never high here, to begin with. I would estimate about 2 out of every ten people still walk around with their cuck muzzle. Many businesses that have capacity limits in Ontario, such as gyms, spas, and restaurants, now openly defy them.

In Saskatchewan, the Premier announced that his province would scrap every covid-related restriction and measure within the month, including the vaccine passport. In Québec, the psychopath in charge, who has perhaps been one of the most gleefully-dictatorial politicians in the Western world throughout the dystopia, announced that he is scrapping the proposed "unvaccinated tax."

In Australia, the USA, and Europe, I have also heard reports of similar convoys taking inspiration from Canada that will drive to their respective capitals and demand an end to measures in their countries.

Recently, a smaller convoy has blockaded a critical border crossing in Alberta, where many goods pass into and out of Canada and the United States. The police did not mobilize heavily in Ottawa or attempt much of anything. However, the RCMP stationed at the Alberta border blockade are spooked and discussing violent actions against the truckers.

Given that Trudeau fled Ottawa like Louis XVI, well in advance of the convoy's arrival, and that no one in Ottawa attempted to storm Parliament despite outrageous corporate media incitation and blanket-designations of racism, white supremacy, and all the other –isms, it makes sense why the police stood by. But now that a critical economic node is threatened, action is taken. We'll see what happens.

Here’s another:

Hello from the centre of the trucker protest. I live 4 km from Parliament Hill [downtown Ottawa]. I have walked the streets of the protest on two occasions for about 4 hours each. Yesterday and today I ferried several drivers to my house for showers and conversation. I put one up for the night and will continue to try to be of service.

The Mass Psychosis Media continues to call these people racists and announce without evidence that they are destructive and violent. The Prime Minister in Hiding has called them ‘racists and misogynists with unacceptable views’. His only response to any question is vaccines. I have seen nothing but smiling polite and thoughtful people who may hold some very different views on many issues than I do but are united over the one issue of the protest, which is that vaccines should be a choice. The unvaccinated ones that I have spoken with have long lists of personal anecdotes about adverse reactions and tales of absurd regulations and restrictions from across this huge country. […]

The Liberal Party government and the left of centre party, the New Democratic Party (the one I used to vote for) that keeps their minority in power, claim that this a small fringe group of right wing extremists. The right wing politicians are capitalizing on their frustration and gaining their support by giving them a voice, but most are hard-working people who don't want anything to do with politics. The implementing of a requirement for compulsory inoculation for truck drivers crossing into Canada from the US touched off a protest supported by jabbed and unjabbed alike. They have the support everyone who has lost a job by the same restrictions on all government workers, Provincial or Federal no matter what kind of working conditions they have. My daughter-in -law works alone in the forest, tending to a fish spawning channel. A friend's son, a financial analyst who has always worked from home. Both have lost their employment. Farmers have now joined the protest. For every one who is on the Hill, including myself , there are at least a dozen who would be there with them if they could. The coordination that has gone into making sure everyone is well taken care of is very impressive.

This morning a heavy equipment mechanic was strolling among the trucks offering repairs. The downtown hotels are ignoring their mask requirements, allowing drivers to use the public washrooms and happily booking rooms that have been empty for almost two years.

There are widely trumpeted complaints from people who are not in this small capital city, that it has been 'paralyzed' . A few blocks near the houses of parliament are blocked by trucks. The rest of the city is experiencing nothing worse then the usual tie-ups from road construction and snowbanks. Relations with the police have been excellent and there is always a clear lane for emergency vehicles. At least there was until the city officials ordered large snow removal vehicles to block intersections. Did I say that we have a lot of snow that needs clearing? Blame it on the truckers.

The occupied area is the where the high-rise office buildings of government agencies and banking and other corporate headquarters are located. This area has been a ghost town for two years and the logistics of getting workers up the lifts with social distancing is an impossibility. These people have been working from home and the local radio station even did a story two weeks ago on a failing shoe repair business, a shop that used to be crammed with people sitting in their socks while the cobbler fixed their footwear.

The government is doubling down. Parliament has hardly sat during the pandemic and just returned from extended lockdown Christmas break on Monday. The conservatives tossed out their moderate leader this morning and have probably chosen an interim one while I am writing this.

It is very difficult to find information on what events are scheduled on the Hill or what danger the protesters now face. Facebook pages have to be rebuilt every day because they are taken down almost immediately.

Liberal MP Breaks Ranks: Trudeau Govt’s Policies Divisive, Reassess All Measures
Government and Covid-19, Protests, Truckers / By Gord Parks / February 8, 2022
Quebec MP Joël Lightbound just finished a press conference in which he sounded much like Interim Conservative Leader, Candice Bergen, MP, in her speech Monday, Jan. 31, where she lambasted Trudeau for his divisive politics in not supporting truckers and protesters outside on Parliament Hill for wanting their freedoms. Lightbound says the Liberal Party’s divisive politics, which spreads beyond the truckers and into broader society, must stop and that all Covid measures and vaccine mandates must be reevaluated like Dr. Theresa Tam has stated and like many other countries are now doing. A road-map with clear benchmarks on how to lift restrictions should also be part of the party’s move forward.

Lightbound says there are other party members who also feel “discomfort” over the current state of affairs.

I will be doing my best to keep lines of communication open. Trudeau asked the truckers to go home. They said no. So he’s commanding the cell companies to refuse service in a planned blackout.
