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.

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.

It seems to me that the police and politicians completely misjudged the degree of organization and the amount of committment by the occupiers. This was likely due to the "Candianishness" of our collective mindset.  The same thing happened in Washington on 1/6 and many Americans still cannot fathom that this was an organized , well-funded deliberate attmpt to overthrow the government and capture or kill as many disliked politicians (including VP Mike Pence) as possible.  If it had nor been for their own ineptness and lack of tactical discipline, they might have succeeded. 
The occupiers in Canada do not seem to have been quite as millitant. They somehow hoped/expected to force the government to give in to their demands and then resign, allowing the idiots to set up some sort of provisional government as dictated by them. Had the governments and police moved quickly to oust them, it would have collapsed quickly, but the dithering and tacit support of the politicians and police made a situation that was potentially bad, worse. 
So far, we have not seen bloodshed, but the delays in clearing the protesters have given them an increased sense of righteousness and support by large numbers of Canadians. 

Depending what happens over the next decade we could easily become the USA 's  " Ukraine. "

As much as it would have disgusted me, if they had just gone and camped on the front lawn of the Parliament building, without trying to disrupt the daily lives and businesses of Ottawans (???), they could have camped their until spring. But, when they went after the people of Ottawa, that was over the line. The racist stuff is just to be expected from them. 

You know what this whole thing has really shown? People have no ******* clue what is meant by the right to peaceful protest. Peaceful protest doesn't mean non-violent. It means not breaking the peace, aka not breaking the law! It is most certainly against the law to block roads and such... so why the **** didn't the boys bust these assholes up from the get go?
