The Truckers will stand together in solidarity until the end.

“On Tuesday, Ottawa officials said 360 vehicles remained involved in the blockade in the city’s core, down from a high of roughly 4,000.”

90% drop in solidarity.

Since Trudeau has refused to negotiate or compromise he'll have no choice but to show the world that Trudeau's Canada is no different from Communist China.

Clueless.

Unprecedented attack on the civil liberties of Canadians.

Yeah these truckers have halted the lives of so many Canadians who just want to get on with things. I agree they need to go.

Never before in Canadian history has the Canadian government seized the bank accounts of protestors.

I agree.

Of course you do. That’s your job.

Trudeau's true colors are shining through. He and his Democrat buddies do nothing as Antifa burns, loots, and kills.

Truckers are merely parked on the street, minding their own business and they face threats of arrest and having assets seized from them?

Canada's got a big problem and it ain't COVID.

“If it means that I need to go to prison, if I need to be fined in order to allow freedom to be restored in this country — millions of people have given far more for their freedom,” said David Paisley, who traveled to Ottawa with a friend who is a truck driver.

Hasn't a clue what freedom means...another far-righter manipulated by the right-wing media hate and outrage machine....

The protests have drawn support from right-wing extremists and have been cheered on and received donations from conservatives in the U.S., triggering complaints in some quarters about America being a bad influence on Canada.

"Drawn support" may understate it a little. As with all of these "fake issues", they are hyped by the US far-right media to build outrage and manipulate their viewers...and sell them books and premium memberships....

In Ottawa, the bumper-to-bumper demonstrations by the so-called Freedom Convoy have infuriated many residents, who have complained of being harassed and intimidated on the clogged streets.

This really backfired - Canadians aren't into all this nonsense. All they did was anger the blue collar folks they put our of work.

An Ottawa child welfare agency advised parents at the demonstration to arrange for someone to take care of their children in the event of a police crackdown. Some protesters had their youngsters with them.

What is it with these far-rightists - they bring their kids to the Ottawa protest and their mothers to the Jan 6th insurrection...

Trudeau is now purging the Canadian government of anyone who made positive comments about the trucker protests and/or donated to the cause. Some people are already out. This is not over yet, Trudeau has a stunning level of North Korea style control. Due process is not even being used. They just show up and BOOM they are gone.

Yup! Because I believe in democracy in its purest form.

Go truckers, never give up, and never give in! Fight on!

Just 360 trucks are enough to threaten the collapse of the Canadian government?

All over the shop. I’ve been hearing all week about hold the line and Trudeau is toast. Are they wasting their time or not? Make up your mind.

The 45th Canadian federal election will take place on or before 20 October 2025.

Long time to go

Too bad. Time to relocate.

In fact Bass, I was under the impression that we aren’t a democracy but rather a republic? 

True, but we do have democracy in our Republic.

isn't that what you guys say whenever the subject the popular vote comes up?

No, we say that every time the left tried to chip away at our democracy.

Now it's coming out that leftist thugs are doxxing people who have donated to the truckers and are trying to hack GiveSendGo, the platform that is handling their donations.

Leftists are all about supporting free speech, as long as you agree with them. When you don't, they get very nasty and violent, labelling anyone they disagree with as racists, fascists and misogynists - even the Canadian PM stoops to this level.

Why does Trudeau need to put the entire country into a martial law emergency just because of 360 protestors in Ottawa?

Just 360 trucks are enough to threaten the collapse of the Canadian government?

He's a chicken hiding behind a law he's happy to abuse to get back at his opponents.

Imagine if he had the power of China's dictatorship, a regime whose power he seems to envy...

If anything hurt the businesses and upended peoples lives it was the govt not the truckers. Govt funded MSM in Canada would however report the opposite. Trudeau needs to go. The actions of govt regarding this so called pandemic were designed to control and bring people to their knees. 99% survival rate.
