Current scene on Huron Church Road, with police parked on a side street. Neither protestors nor vehicles have moved.
...

When the clock runs out the police has an easy job: drop a teargas screen at the entrance to the bridge, let protesters from the bridge pass one by one and handcuff them and transport them to the FEMA camps for processing. Let the US Customs and Border Patrol handle those that are looking for the freedom of We The People. Next order in the scrap metal recyclers and clean up the bridge.

Several of our motorcar factories are closed for part or all of next week, partially owing to the Tonka truck terrorists.

I've never had any more than answering questions trouble getting into Canada, they questioned the two cartons of cigarettes on the passenger seat once several years ago when I smoked. I have a Global Entry card for getting home.

I think if they identify these knutsacs they need to go on a "Phuck with them as much as the law provides tools to do so with" list that means crossing the border either way becomes a 12 hour ordeal involving safety inspections, cargo unload contraband checks and body cavity searches. Welcome to Canada, asshole!

Off Topic

I carried an ounce of weed into Canada successfully. I disassembled something in the engine compartment and hid it there.

Good thing, too, because I forgotted I had a few bags of incense sticks and one of them was marked Opium fragrance. They searched extra hard after they found that, but they didn't find the weed and I enjoyed it immensely in Banff and places.

It's going down now.

edit: so far they seem to be tucking their tails between their legs and leaving peacefully

They could make a spin-off series of Border Security: Convoy Insurrection Edition.

Ambassador Bridge: Police begin clearing Canada trucker blockade

https://www.bbc.com/news/world-us-canad ... um=custom7

Following the injunction, Windsor Police put out a statement to "make demonstrators clearly aware that it is a criminal offence" to block the border crossing. The police added that a criminal conviction could lead to the seizure of vehicles and the inability to enter the US.

But hours later, crowds of people waving Canadian flags flouted the order and continued to occupy the bridge.

Police added on Saturday: "We urge all demonstrators to act lawfully [and] peacefully. Commuters are still being asked to avoid the areas affected by the demonstrations at this time."

Hundreds of other protesters continue to demonstrate in the centre of Ottawa, the nation's capital. Two other border crossings with the US are also being blocked by anti vaccine mandate protesters.



"If you join the protests because you are tired of Covid, you need to understand that you are breaking laws. The consequences are becoming more and more severe," he warned.

"You don't want to end up losing your licence, end up with a criminal record, which will impact your job, your livelihood, even your ability to travel internationally, including to the US."

Army dudes in the background.


They seem to have reached the FO part of FAFO.


Word on the street is that the MAGA “truckers” are politely leaving in the face of massive police presence.

Lindell's donating pillows means he has excess inventory.

How are the pillows going to get to Canada? By truck?

Foreign interference again.

Steve Reilly@BySteveReilly·23hNEW: Our research early this week into who was behind a huge network of Facebook groups supporting the Freedom Convoy led us to a hacked account in Missouri.

Next it led us to Bangladesh — and ended with the deactivation of some of the largest active groups.

Bonus: They are so friggin NICE in Canada! Love them. OPP is giving out flyers on peaceful protesting. Of course, they're trying to make it seem like the Gazpacho (MQG is now the top result for that term)





OPP Reply to the video:






Here's a livestream (noon) with multi-cameras from different cities and an anti-vax all-day livestream from Windsor.

This just in from Assholistan:

(CNN) - While protests by truckers and others against Covid mandates continue to occupy Canada's capital, block US-Canada border crossings and add to supply chain headaches, Republican Sen. Rand Paul of Kentucky said he hopes trucker protests come to the United States as soon as this weekend to "clog up" major US cities.
Asked by The Daily Signal about his thoughts on the convoy and the potential for it to spill over into Los Angeles, home of Sunday's Super Bowl, or into the nation's capital, Paul said Thursday that "it'd be great" if the anti-mandate, truck-inspired protests popped in the United States to "clog things up."

An interesting read.

Sunlight Kills Active Measures
One of the most significant recent developments in US deterrence has been to expose Putin’s plans and information operations before he can deploy them. Gen. Philip Breedlove, former Supreme Allied Commander Europe of NATO, calls this “meeting the threat, at threat speed.” This is a key shift, and if we had made this shift ten years ago it is likely that we would be on an entirely different timeline.

The first invasion of Ukraine in 2014 likely wouldn’t have happened (in fact, then DIA head Lt. Gen. Mike Flynn seems to have purposely avoided sharing intel that Putin would invade); the 2016 election interference would not have been so damaging if we’d shut it down and exposed it in real-time; and the myriad of information operations that included QAnon and led to January 6th would not have had the same results.

We didn’t so much fail to connect the dots (trust me, I worked with many people who connected the dots, and many people had that intel); our government failed to act on the information by widely sharing a credible intelligence picture. The New York Times featured a piece today discussing the Biden administration’s “new” strategy of declassifying, in real time, information that would stymie Putin’s plans. This is what we should have been doing all along, and it needs to extend beyond the narrow bounds of the Ukraine conflict to include intelligence about Putin’s fascist international Fifth Column operation.

More here. There is discussion about how this also applies to the trucker convoy that started with a handful of truckers but soon was taken over and amplified by others.

Haven't been watching the Convoy stuff, looks like the Snickerpie/RedPill girl got kicked off YouTube so now she's on Odysee. This is the stream of streams. Looks like a lot of snow is falling and it's winding down. About time.

Here's the feed: https://odysee.com/@Snickerpie:b/FreedomConvoyProtest:b

YouTube still has some, but they are mostly individual folks with their phone cams.
