#1 There comes a moment when the Regime knows it's fooked.

Talleyrand flees, hedges his bets.

The border officials waive the tourists on through, no visa or papers needed.

Oligarchs move to fortified private Hawaiian islands.

Pelosis and Bidens and Bushes move their assets to safe havens.

We're getting close.

#5 /\ That could be the spark that finally splits Canada. The reaction in Washington should be interesting.

#8 ....the Canadians are still a bit wary since 1812 of having American troops on their side of the border (unless exiled up on the old DEW line).

#9 A dispatch from The Freedom Party (this is one of scores of first-person accounts from around the world, gathered by the indispensable German doctor "eugyppius" at his substack:

Containment Collapse - Reader Reports
from CANADA

...Seemingly, entire hotels in Downtown Ottawa were booked out by protestors. I walked the streets of downtown with a group of friends on Friday night. Despite the temperature hovering somewhere around -27℃, the city was one giant block party. Folks were screaming at the top of their lungs for "FREEEEEEEEDOM!!!!" firecrackers and fireworks popped off intermittently, HOONKING was incessant. One woman was running around with her shirt off, wearing body paint that said "My Body, My Choice," while a burly gent wielded dual Canadian flags wearing nothing but his underwear and some steel-toes.

People actually had fun in this country for the first time in two years.

I entered the lobby of the Ottawa Marriott hotel, and the best way I can describe the scene is by likening it to the Taliban takeover of the American embassy in Kabul last year. Gents were guzzling wine straight from the bottle, smokes were lit, and no one was wearing a mask except for the cowed security guard standing by the door, head down, having been defeated earlier that day by the sheer overwhelming numbers.

We moved up the floors, and every suite had a raucous party underway. I got up to the 26th floor and stepped out onto the balcony to see the whole street below packed with crowds of people streaming between the trucks, still honking, echoing up into the sky. Ottawa was occupied.

I managed to retreat to a quiet place on the outskirts of town and lay down to rest. But, the party did not stop. It stretched into the morning of Saturday, halted for an hour or so around 8 AM so people could grab some breakfast, and then revved right back up again. Everyone in the downtown core converged on Parliament like moths to a light. Parliamentary Security put barriers up at every entrance except one, creating a chokepoint everyone had to pass through. However, the numbers proved decisive again, and they soon gave up any attempts at screening the crowd.

#10 Someone should educate the rank and file Ottowa Police officers on the Nuremberg trials. "Just following orders" is not going to cut it. Lucky for them Canadians tend not to throw petrol bombs or string up Trudeau's would-be Sturmabteilung.

The PM has lost his mind, hunkered down in his Führerbunker, as the provinces turn against his senseless mandates and his slander of the protesers.
