Right - some Police probably did support them, but when their boss tells them to do tbeir job, they have to go do it.
Unlike the protestors who refused to leave their trucks. Respect for authority seems to be a concept that is lost on them. 

According to things being said in various videos, a combination of social media and the convoy organizers had convinced most of the protestors that:
1. The police are on their side
2. Most of Canada agrees with them
3. That they just needed to 'hold the line'
To me, they seem shocked to discover that this is not the case.

The problem is, it’s not even a side. It’s drivel like a toddler walking around wanting to do whatever they want and then throw a temper tantrum when the parent demonstrates there are consequences to the choices they make  that are affecting other people.
Different sides to an argument include many many examples but not this one. 

Yup not really an option other than hopefully their loud drivel once again becomes white noise and they peter themselves out and run out of money.
I saw this tweet from a Surgeon that was perfect. He goes I'm tired of washing my hands before surgery. Not going to do it anymore. If you get an infection, not my problem.
So when I see placards that say no mandates, freedom of choice it confuses me. Okay no mandates, freedom of choice for anything (see Surgeon above) or no mandates only for things that you want to say no to regardless of how it helps us collectively and pay no consequences because of that choice?
 

And - if they want a long haul job - how about BC to Toronto?

Gardwine is running ads for truckers every morning on CJOB. They make a point of "saying without saying " that they can still use unvaccinated truckers. When this whole thing started I said that it was all BS. I seriously could find a job for any competent  trucker vaccinated or not in an hour. That's not an exaggeration.

my KN95 (a base layer in a 2-mask system for me) is excellent. And anyone who says that a 3rd dose of vaccine doesn't do anything is just dumb and possibly ignorant. Getting your booster shot is HUGE in terms of protection. The data is very clear. 

LOLOLOL
 

I will say this:
During what I will dub "the convoy period" the Canadian Politics chat had an equal number or more posts than the American Politics chat
Not even a federal election could generate this much activity
I believe this is unprecedented - in the prestigious history of MBB

It's hard to believe the same species that is doing this is also carrying on like idiots here on the ground.

This is so exciting to watch unfold (no pun intended).

What an incredible feat of technology. I can't wait to see the images produced.

Funny, I've just been taking stock of the misconceptions and ignorance . It's another pandemic. No seems to know :
- What the Charter of rights and freedoms really says
-What freedom in a society means
 - the difference between want / desire and right
- whether you like a particular leader or not is inconsequential.  They were elected by our democracy.
- What a Nazi is. In particular that neither our current PM Trudeau or our previous PM Harper are or were Nazis
- What an Anglo- Saxon is , or the history of them.
- That there are no real  " pure races "  
- Lastly , history. There seems to be an amazing lack of knowledge about  the history of the world, from ancient to recent.
 
 
 
 

I would say there is a very high likelihood of this happening. 

This is because these exact same people, the organizers and the spineless politicians that have backed them, have advocated for violence against other protestors.

Exactly, these occupiers have no clue. They have a right to protest peacefully just like everybody else. Trucks don't have a right to protest. Commercial vehicles don't have a right to protest.

I'll  add this , it's what the world gets to see of Canada now. I agree with your post %100.  Part of  " Law , order and good government  " is squashing these extremists before it emboldens those who quietly support their ideas. It was left far to long.
