#1 Smashing windows and tossing flash bangs is more aggressive than anything the protestors have done.

#2 About half of Canadians have voted for this. As I have said before, it's too bad we can't devise a political system where only the people who vote for bad stuff have to endure the consequences of their ill-informed choices...

#5 Well. We know where Joostin's patronymic came from. His genetic patrimony? That's maybe less clear. Are there any pictures of Pierre with a beard? On his face I mean.

Oh, that still didn't come out quite right...

#6 It appears as if the Canadian public supports the prime minister. Biden will interpret the same results will occur in the US.

#7 I don't think this would go over near as well in the U.S..

#8 No public support. Only 100’s arrested. You can’t expect change with 100’s of protesters. You need hundreds of thousands. J6 failed for same reason. Like one of our commentators wrote yesterday. Americans have a job and family and will comply with government.

#9 Biden will interpret the same results will occur in the US.

Correct. The kakocracy is desperate for signs they can get away with their monstrous shit.

e.g. Newsom defeating his recall attempt by more than 2:1 after he was down in the polls -- solely by waving the bloody COVID scary-shirt. After that sign, the Brylcreemed dictator doubled down on COVIDian repression. So even as blue states are slowly but steadily backing off of their ridiculous mandates, CA is now talking about forcing kindergartners to participate in their Mengelian experimental gene therapy. Every few months. Forever.

So now Prime Minister Klain, Fauxi, Da Ferret et al. will look to Canada and conclude, Yes, we can mandate whatever the hell we want, and all the tools of oppression -- doxxing, burning their financial lifelines, cracking heads -- will force compliance. Without a whimper.

This is a watershed event.

#10 ^
Why not, after all they just stole an election (or two)?

#11 Need a bicoastal (SF-SEA + NYC-BOS) general truckers' STRIKE.

Stop delivering food fuel bottled water to the left-wing blue cities.

#13 If they steal the election this fall then we're moving down the slippery slope to USSA. No turning back.

#14 It appears as if the Canadian public supports the prime minister.

I keep seeing this message, but I'm skeptical. The PM was already annoying to at least half of Canada already. Overhead shots of the truck convoy and the large, cheerful crowds seem to contradict this. Also a number of provinces have dropped their mask/vax mandate.

As a side note, it is interesting how the government messaging has changed over time. Originally, when the blockade came to Windsor, the mayor was going on about swastikas and Confederate flags (in Canada?) and white supremacy and the general anti-government nature of the loutish protesters. When that did not stick, he switched to the terrible economic impact the blockade was having both on Canada and the US. Now, it is just a small group of malcontents with no general support. OK, sure.

#16 Turbo hasn't been very bright in dealing with this. The truckers were not asking for much. This is not about health and controlling a pandemic. It's about control over citizens and trying to institute a globalist agenda. It's about squelching and smothing fteedom. Damn the fascists.

#18 Reading this comments make me throw up
Instead posting your coward conservative thoughts in here start to prepare and go active.
Go around and take civil servants and policemen addresses …..
This is the bunch that has to go first in the event of a dictatorship in the USA.

#22 There once trolled a greasy Sardinian
Whose penis fell well below median.
When he opened a can,
That unfortunate man
All too often heard, "Damn, is yo'," etc.

Seriously, though, aren't you also "black is..." and "Birra Ichnusa?"
