The busiest land crossing from the United States to Canada remained shut after Canadian truckers blocked lanes on Monday to protest their government’s pandemic control measures.
While traffic in both directions was initially blocked, U.S.-bound lanes have since reopened, Windsor Police tweeted. Canadian police also said late on Tuesday another border crossing at Coutts, Alberta, had been shut down by protesters for inbound and outbound traffic.

Wellington, New Zealand yesterday
This morning.
Via BBC:
New Zealand has seen a second day of demonstrations against pandemic restrictions with protesters camping outside the nation’s parliament.
Inspired by large anti- vaccine rallies in Canada, hundreds of Kiwis arrived on Tuesday to stage new protests against vaccine mandates and other Covid rules.
Protesters adopted the name “Convoy for Freedom” and blocked streets in the capital Wellington.

Whatever your views it’s a wonderful sight to behold.
Real anger and discontent being expressed in visceral form.
And who can forget Ireland and its reaction to the most restrictive and longest lockdown in Europe.
I’ve a feeling things might be different when it’s PUP payback time …
https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=yj23_Z6UECk
you’d have to have a job to go back to to pay back that PUP
Yep I can really see how magnificent these truckers are
Even better are military exercises
Just raise the price of diesel
So the state and private industry have come together to enforce restrictions on the people, and yet its the people protesting this who are labelled the fascists
Fascists going by the name anti-fascists are attacking people protesting against fascism by labelling them as fascists. Amidoinitrite?
Fascists, anti-fascists, meta-fascists, proto-fascists – they’re all fascists. The only fascists that aren’t fascist aren’t fascists and vehemently so.
Does the word mean anything any more or it just a guttural, primal sound now? I picture people standing at on the beach screaming “FASCIST!” at the ocean as part of their scream-therapy drills.
It’s been devalued in a similar way to “racist” “nazi” “anti-semite” “bigot” etc
Used so often they lose their meaning. Word inflation?
There should be some sort of dictionary graveyard type publication where words go to die.
Then again if the word dies does what it used to describe die also?
Without public health enforced measures the whole infrastructure would of been crippled forcing 10 times the amount of deaths
A better system would of been those who took up the vaccines and obeyed restrictions given treatment in hospitals
The others like anti makers/vaxers treated in field hospitals as far away as possible from the general population
These truckers forget unlike many who lost their jobs during the lockdowns they actually made a fortune
Knights of the road they never have been
And I am sick and tired as to every time I must use a truck stop on a motor way it’d like walking into a sh1t factory
You actually feel filthy when you leave for their hygiene standards are beyond disgusting
Without public health enforced measures the whole infrastructure would of been crippled forcing 10 times the amount of deaths
That is ‘moving statues’ faith based silliness. A working paper published on the Johns Hopkins University (JHU) states that lockdowns only reduced deaths by 0.2% or in other words, they done way more harm than good. Some of us have been saying it all alone of course.
“If we lived in a somewhat sane or responsible society, that John Hopkins study, showing lockdowns did nothing to stop the virus, would lead to mass resignations, and likely criminal charges. The people who implemented lockdowns would never be anywhere near public policy again.”

Bill Maher knocked it out of the park this week. covers the John Hopkins thingy.

Come on you really believe that.How can they come to that conclusion.
When it first broke out in New York the whole health system nearly crashed.so did in Spain Italy India wuhan
You seem to forget
John Hopkins have released many studies and projections many of them wrong
Fact is up till that earthquake in the pacific Tonga had one case of covid because they kept it out
Now they have several because it came in with the aid
What mainly spared deaths is vaccination and precautions like wearing masks and personal behaviour
Unfortunately lock downs have to be used to try and limit idiots from spreading it around by their behaviour and idiots are everywhere
There is no correlation between lockdowns and overall fatalities nor infections- even within the US. And, if the health services were really under such strain- why has their capacity not since been expanded?
Oh and India is doing just fine btw- the pharma funded media got hysterical when India started to adopt early intervention protocols, but their overall figures are very low.
Thats the real issue here, dirty truck stops.
I can’t figure out if this is a parody post Father Maguire.
Word has it that they are sending in Child Protection Services to apprehend children in Ottawa and, that the cell service is being cut off which given the temperatures, is a huge safety risk for everyone in the down town area- because then calling emergency services would also not be possible.
They are playing every dirty trick they can think of.
In response to the confiscation of fuel, everyone is walking around with jerry cans because there is no law against it but, a Judge has also ordered Ottawa police return all fuel they seized.

How will they manage that when 50% of the police resigned the other day?
Good question- assuming it is true of course. They have already requested extra police from elsewhere- not sure how many of them it will take to manually pull a truck mind.
Sorry, wrong Ottawa:

The police want to tow the truckers out of Ottawa but they can’t find anyone to do it- all the tow companies have refused.

Meanwhile, Alberta has ended the leper passports last night, with all restrictions to go in March, so some progress in being made.
Progress me hole SOQ.
Temporary measures being stood down is all, but spin it your own way why don’t ya.
I ordered some maple syrup from Canada a few weeks ago and its delayed with no sign of an update. I guess my consumer rights doesn’t matter to the truck drivers.

Oooh those sneaky right-wing agents are ever.
I hear Russell Brand is one now too
WTF Russell elfin Brand is right-wing? ha ha ha ha!
I say, can someone let Captain Mainwaring know of Russell’s change of status!

Nice hit piece- with very little substance. It’s built around one hacked account of a Missouri woman on Facebook- really? It that it? Oh and some guff from a behavioural scientist.
I see they have stopped claiming that the Canadian Trucking Alliance is a union and now, Teamsters Canada is apparently the biggest one- except they are not. They have only 15,000 long haul truck drivers which is about a quarter of the entire Ottawa convoy alone- the devil is the detail etc.
Then there is the usual Irish Times style slanting about how many are vaccinated, as though that equates to being pro mandates- it does not, because most of the protesters are already vaccinated.
C- for that effort.
Tell us again about the 50% of Ottawa cops who’ve resigned!!
“This resignation story is coming in from a number of sources- time will tell if true.”- my words.
You are increasingly behaving like a government shill these days- are you a government shill?
Read it and weep:

One day you might try to claim that you were just a gullible dupe – but do you have to demonstrate it so often? Try and understand that ‘multiple sources’ which all emanate from one lying source aren’t really multiple sources.
If you check back you will see that even the sources I referenced were multiple- but I also questioned if it was true.
Multiple- Having, relating to, or consisting of more than one individual, element, part, or other component; manifold.
As for calling someone a ‘gullible dupe’- the more you talk about others the more you say about yourself. Have some friggen manners you ignoramus.
Multiple – several people repeating what one person has claimed =/= ‘multiple sources’
Lots of people reposting/retweeting one erroneous (lying) claim = a solitary source.
I’d say that your education ended a long time ago.
Tell us again why you hate British people?
Now now Daisy / Doxxy
Tell us again about the “two guys who tried to burn that apartment down” and the group of people who tried to “burn those cops.”
Remember, from the other day – you were wrong about both of them.
Everyone can be wrong and misinformed.
Also, have you rung your Auntie Mary yet? ;p
Yeah the bootlickers are getting desperate at this point.
Interesting observation of the Left- “The most impressive thing about covid is how it turned a systemically racist patriarchy into a trustworthy government who cannot be questioned. “
Neo Marxists can’t stand the working class finding their feet.
Yes indeed- workers rights are only acceptable if within the chosen framework- just like right now.
The desperate ones are you lads unable to let go. The pandemic is almost over, be grateful. Move on with your lives.
You are joking right? This is not over until those criminals are behind bars- where they belong.
You’re delusional.
No one is going to prison.
They couldn’t find the Golfgate gang guilty of any wrongdoing.
Nevermind a body of unspecified wrongdoers.
