NOT JUST CANADA
It seems the Leftists Control Freaks have figured out they'll need back off due to a growing citizenry increasingly fed up with overreaching dictatorial efforts.

#2 Even Connecticut and New Jersey's left-lib governors are climbing down from the COVIDian insanity now.

Ottawa = the death rattle for COVIDianism

#4 Update from Conservative Treehouse:

However, while Premier Kenny said the vaccine passports called ‘Restriction Exemption Program’ (REP) would be eliminated at midnight tonight, the QR codes check-in gates would continue; vaccine requirements will remain; vaccine discrimination can continue by private businesses with government support; govt healthcare workers must still be vaccinated or get fired; entertainment venues would be allowed to sell food & drinks again (but customers must be seated); and rules on closing times, alcohol service times, table capacity in restaurants, and social distancing would remain in place.

Most importantly, the trucker vaccine mandate is a federal mandate, and that will still apply to cross-border truckers. Put simply, a majority of the mandates would still continue through to March 1st, then even after March 1st, a lot of the mandates will remain.

After quietly and patiently listening to the entire statement from Jason Kenney until he was finished, the Alberta truck drivers responded immediately:

The Alberta farmers moved their tractors back into front line status to position against any effort by RCMP to engage. The truckers moved the convoy back into full blockade position, and the Coutts border crossing was completely shut down.

The blockade will continue until the mandates are removed.

#6 Remember it takes a Big CDL Tow Truck to haul off a Big Rig truck.

What Big CDL Tow Truck operation wants such a deed hung over their business name?

#8 Reports from Ottawa are that city-contracted towing companies are refusing to tow any of the protestors’ rigs. City not sure what to do next.
Q:will the military get called, despite pledges not to, to use the armed forces’ tow rigs?

#9 ...probably not enough of them. IIRC they have three active ready brigades and the rest is composed of reserves (you know, composed of every day people).
