Bell and Rogers target TRUCKERS with planned blackout (after they had their fuel stolen)
THE BLACKOUT WILL BE PUBLICIZED
Jessica Rose
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.
A bit more evidence of police resignations:

Trudeau has ordered crop dusters to drop zyklon b and anthrax on the protesters.
Testimony of Canadian policewoman. Hearts are breaking open. The trucking movement is going to do it. The time has come. The truth is rolling.

UPDATE: Truckers reject Kenney's statement. Say they want a PERMANENT end to mandates, not a temporary one.

Coutts border blockaders were not happy with the announcement by Jason Kenney today, updates sure to come soon.

Nick Motichka, a 10-year veteran of the Calgary Police Service, delivered a strong message on Facebook to his fellow regulation enforcement officers: “Police are here to help and protect people” not “to do the politicians’ dirty work… What is happening in Ottawa, with the clear political influence on the police, to physically exert political will on peaceful protesters for nothing more than possible political gain is so very wrong, on so many levels.”
A working-class liberty movement
The Canada truckers protest goes global — and it’s about more than just vaccines
February 9, 2022
The problem is that the single biggest threat to any “order” is a disenchanted and capable minority — like, say, truckers able to snarl downtowns and blockade highways. If the consensus that underpins an order crumbles, if the mass buy-in that’s needed to sustain an order is no longer there, then the order itself can also give way. This is why Trudeau has no choice but to talk to the truckers: there is no other way out and they wield more power than he seems to think they do.
Yet beyond that, it’s also worth asking: do Canadians really subordinate liberty to order? Do their leaders really imagine that one of the most reliable impulses in human history, the desire to be free, suddenly goes dormant north of Buffalo? Yes, Canadians are more likely than Americans to be vaccinated and to support vaccine rules. But that doesn’t mean they haven’t grown weary of all the hectoring and bullying, the isolation and the depression and the enforced gloom, just like the rest of us have.
Protests often begin in response to specific policies only to grow into something larger. And just as the Tea Party in the United States blossomed out of opposition to Obamacare, just as the gilets jaunes in France exploded out of a fuel tax, so too do the Canadian truckers appear to be expanding their brief beyond cross-border vaccine mandates and into grander ideas of freedom and choice. The demonstrations have become a kind of primal honk against the entire dismal public health regime. And as another winter quarantine drags on, it’s not unforeseeable that they could garner mass support.
There’s another dimension to this too: political movements are very often mobilizations of one class against another. This appears to be the case with the truckers. I haven’t gone outside in days! white-collar remote workers wearing their Succession snuggies cry, neglecting to mention that their public-health staycations are made possible by those who must go out, by cooks and grocers and deliverymen and, yes, truckers. This is what the class divide looks like in the year 2022.
It may be that those who procure our food for a living have finally had enough of being pushed around. And the class identity here is enjoined to the ideology. It has been most absurdly suggested in some conservative circles of late that individual liberty is mainly a concern of elites. In fact, the opposite is true. It’s the ambitious bureaucrat and the gooey-eyed professor of theory who think they can remake society through force; the working man covets his freedom. The real divide over liberty runs not down the American-Canadian border but between the managerial class and the hardhats.
And so, thanks to those hardhats, things are now moving quickly. The truckers’ latest move has been to blockade the Ambassador Bridge between Windsor, Ontario, and Detroit, Michigan, responsible for much of the commerce between Canada and the United States. Another border crossing into Montana has also been corked up. The provinces of Alberta and Saskatchewan have responded by announcing they’re ending all Covid restrictions. Copycat protests have popped up from Australia to New Zealand to France to Belgium.
Trudeau has thus backed himself into a corner. Against such a mighty adversary, he has no choice but to negotiate, yet by sneering at the truckers, he’s ensured that any overture will look like a humiliating about-face. And that’s not even touching on the trainwreck of optics he’s created: this spoiled dauphin, this ludicrous Kennedy of the tundra, talking down to workers who want only to make decisions for themselves. After months of gray austerity imposed by heavy-handed government, a cheerful spirit of liberty is in the air.
No jab no mask no test no form
A flood of Canadians packed the streets of Toronto yesterday, refusing to comply with the whims of the government. Trudeau, smearing the movement from a distance, has yet to engage the people.

Rep. Elissa Slotkin, D-Holly, noted the conversations happening between the Canadians and the White House and with U.S. Customs and Border Protection.
“They found a way to effectively protest. I would not be shocked if we saw those kinds of protests in the United States because they have been so effective,” Slotkin said.
Here are the Stated Goals of the Freedom Convoy Israel 2022:
“We’re demanding a complete end to the declared state of emergency, the Law of Rights, and all mandates and restrictions related to Covid-19.
As a result, the following rules will be adjusted accordingly:
✅ Full return to school without school closures, mandated testing, quarantines, masks, or any health-related issues in school.
✅ Businesses and Livelihoods- Full opening of the economy without any restrictions and a ban on harming the livelihood of workers for health related reasons.
✅ Human Dignity and Freedom: Citizens who are vaccinated and citizens who are unvaccinated are equal and are to be treated equally. We demand an immediate end to discrimination and the invasive nature of demanding medical choices be publicized. We demand that full rights to medical privacy be restored to every individual.”

I admire these truckers.
