Canada Live Updates: Trudeau Declares National Emergency, Allowing Temporary Suspension of Civil Liberties
The move is the first time the government has taken such action in half a century, and is Prime Minister Justin Trudeau’s most aggressive response since the protests roiling the country began.

This is just hilarious live tweet of an "emergency meeting" of the truck drivers that got infiltrated by the resistance.

Canadian 'Freedom Convoy': TD Bank freezes accounts with $1.1M for trucker protest

Toronto-Dominion Bank froze two personal bank accounts, one of which included C$1.4 million ($1.1 million), to support "Freedom Convoy" protesters in Canada who are pushing back against vaccine mandates and other COVID-19 procedures.

In a statement to FOX Business the bank explained the move.

"TD has asked the court to accept the funds, which were raised through crowdfunding and deposited into personal accounts at TD, so they may be managed and distributed in accordance with the intentions of the donors, and/or to be returned to the donors who have requested refunds but whose entitlement to a refund cannot be determined by TD."

That was a hilarious thread dan1100! Found this article in the comments.
’It was too easy’: How a spy from the Ram Ranch resistance infiltrated and seized anti-vax trucker chat rooms
Teagan McLean said it took him five days to take over.

A member of a group that trolled trucker convoy protests by spamming them with a gay porn song infiltrated and took over a private chat protesters used to communicate and strategize.

Holy crap. This is a massive expansion of existing authorities / capabilities in Canadian law. We don’t have all the details yet, but here’s my first take: emergency law is bad law. 🧵 #FluTrucksClan

Tsk tsk tsk - it's not an "expansion" - it's simple the use of what is written in the laws :brickwallsmall:

Anti-mandate protesters are holding a twitter space “emergency meeting” in response to the state of emergency.

One who was at the Windsor/Detroit border blockade tells a story of how their communications were infiltrated, leading to organizational collapse...

Rolling Stone has the Ram Ranch story too also. Never heard the song, it's a Canadian songwriter. Story (not the song, look it up yourself :lol: ) https://www.rollingstone.com/culture/cu ... h-1297926/

Meanwhile, posted some of Queen Romana Didulo's triumphant remarks from Ottawa on her topic but cross posting this. In her address in what seems to be a very cold hotel room:

OrlyLicious 🇺🇸@Orly_licious·2m
👑 At last, "Queen" Romano Didulo admits at 16:35 she's the "Psychopath Queen of Canada" 🥳 In a room of true believers, #RomanaDidulo commands the Trucker Convoy to GO HOME, she's in control. Is she #RamRanch? 🤠 #Truckers4Freedom #FreedomConvoy Ottawa

This whole event is nuts. Lots about the convoy so here.

BONUS: HRH says that Justin Trudeau has "zero authority" to invoke the Emergency Act, only she, the Queen, does. 30 seconds. Jem, if needed have this link handy to show the police so they know HRH is overruling him.

Surely Mike Lindell will set up MyPillow™ Insurance for these ftruckers: "Our comprehensive policy covers you for insurrection in any part of North America! We also give you a complimentary MyTreason pillow, so you wil! have sweet dreams in your cab while waiting to be arrested! And if you are dragged into court, our attorney Larry KKKlayman will ghost-write a grossly inappropriate defense that is guaranteed to be noticed by guffawing lawyers at Teh Fogwob."

I find it fascinating that all these people seem to think that nothing untoward will happen to them. Their faces are being recorded, license plates recorded, etc., and think they are immune.

I did not follow the protest in detail, but how did this insurance theme pop up? Surely an insurer could care less of someone driving his car in a protest convoy or blocking roads. Most policies have a section that excludes coverage for damages during riots, a protester would have to pay for damages themselves. Or did protesters think that the insurance at renewal time would get to see a record of traffic law violation or criminal connduct that might prevent them from renewing a policy? Most would just see the entry, recognize it was not an accident but other infraction and move on, maybe increase the premium cause potentially an unsafe driver.

Sort of like the J6 insurrectionists. How is that working out?

I'm thinking that if bonding is required they may be AOL.


I've never had to be bonded, but I'm willing to bet that the requirements for that are strict enough that getting involved in this protest might not be a good thing.

I think this is because the Canadian government has said if they don't go home, they'll have their licenses revoked. And if they don't have a license, how can they be insured? That's not a hard question. :lol: That's what it's about, now that TS Bank has frozen the funds, they don't have any money and are facing fines and license revocation. Like that guy above who is just realizing there are going to be legal fees etc in connection with being arrested, So they're having these "private" chats to frantically see what to do (some of these idiots have their families with them) but keep getting interrupted by #RamRanchResistance playing the tune. As they sang in ANNIE, "It's A Hard Knock Life".

Meanwhile, my new "pal" SnickerPie, who was tossed from YouTube, is now on Odysee. She was the genius who ran video of multiple streams of the protests. She'd comment stupid and irrelevant things. She was running New Zealand and Canberra for a bit. Now that there aren't many protests, she's devoted to running the "mock fake grand jury COVID trial" we talked about a while back with the international dead-enders.

https://odysee.com/@Snickerpie:b

Here's a link to live YouTubes that are still running of convoy stuff: https://www.youtube.com/results?search_ ... %253D%253D

Here are three more Twitter accounts to look at that are infiltrating the trucker conferences. It seems they are in Ottawa and pissed off at the disruptions these idiots have caused, honking horns all night etc. They should be named Honorary Fogbow Members, they make mock with the best of us! :dance:

Oh, here's a genius idea. What a shock it's Jack Posobiec and Candace Owens spreading the word for Canadians to rush the bank ATMs and withdraw all their cash. Those two should be banned for trying to incite chaos (again).

Retrieving cash thru ATM machines is no way a "run on the banks". ATM machines have a limited stash of banknotes, depending on location to fill the need from a day to a week. So of course machines run empty at the most frequented locations when protesters lose their common sense.

In addition cards have usually a retrieval limit to prevent that an account owner gets stripped of their savings in case of theft. Using up the daily allowance to the full over subsequent days may also trigger fraud detection algorithms and block cards. Not receiving cash does not mean the bank has run out of funds.

When retrieving large amount of cash at a bank branch the teller will warn the of a theft risk, wait for protesters to get mugged. How many protesters will be near their home branch to close their accounts?

Fun fact: should protesters use a credit cards to retrieve cash they will be punished with retrieval fees.

Canada's Deputy Prime Minister:

"If your truck is being used in these illegal blockades, your corporate accounts will be frozen, the insurance on your vehicle will be suspended."
Canada's Deputy Prime Minister says, under the Emergencies Act, banks can immediately freeze or suspend bank accounts without a court order and be protected from civil liability.
