Global Trucker Convoys - Freedom Is Happening

While Lockdown USA deploys F-16's to shoot

And while Media spins lies, BigSocial censors, GovCorpBanks

police and military and persecuting prosecutors upon
actually peaceful protestors doing a bit of roadway sit-ins...

Over two weeks of worldwide protests against the
Insanity of Authoritarians are still going strong...

About 2,500 miles west of the Ambassador Bridge, in Surrey, British
Columbia, and Blaine, Washington, another "Freedom Convoy" emerged
Saturday as demonstrators against medical tyranny have managed to
shutter "multiple border crossings," according to AP News.

Data from geolocation technology company TomTom shows part of Highway
15 and the border crossing remained closed as of 1141 PST (or 1441
ET).

Various highway traffic cameras (data sourced from the British
Columbia government) confirm a stretch of Highway 15 remains shut
down.

Twitter is full of pictures and videos from Saturday of thousands of
people standing up against Prime Minister Justin Trudeau's vaccine
mandates and restrictions, causing massive traffic congestion on the
border.

Thousands gathered on the highway yesterday, creating a miles-long gridlock.

    This is what the hateful, racist, misogynistic, freedom protest
near near the PAC Highway, 176th trucker crossing, in Surrey B.C.
looks.

    Yes, that’s sarcasm. State media would have reported it as fact.

At this point, Trudeau's government is going to have to play the
so-called game "Whac-A-Mole" as freedom-loving people from across the
country, spontaneously assemble and disrupt critical border crossings
between Canada and the US.

Simply put, the working man (and woman) are revolting against the
Trudeau administration​​​​​​.

More than 12 hours after police in Windsor, Ontario arrived on the
scene to shut down "Freedom Convoy" protests at the Ambassador Bridge,
it appears the crowds have finally dispersed in a predawn raid.

As police arrested the last remaining demonstrators for a protest that
has continued for nearly a week and created substantial disruption for
commercial traffic across the US-Canada border crossing, the focus
shifted to demonstrators who gathered on Ottawa's Parliament Hill as
protests continued for another weekend.

According to the Associated Press, which cited television footage,
police arrested the dozen or so die-hard protesters who remained
defiantly at the Bridge until the very end.

    Television images showed police arresting the few protesters who
remained just after dawn near the Ambassador Bridge linking Detroit
and Windsor, Ontario — the busiest border crossing to the U.S.

    Only two pickup trucks and less than a dozen protesters blocked
the road to the bridge before police moved in.

    Police on Saturday had persuaded demonstrators to move their
pickup trucks and others cars that they used at the entrance to the
crossing that sees 25% of all trade between the two countries, though
it remained closed.

Meanwhile, videos from Parliament Hill flooded social media as the
police put the number of demonstrators at 4K - likely a conservative
estimate. The protests, which have been going on since late January,
have seen similar numbers during past weekends. All told, this is at
least the third weekend that demonstrators have gathered.

The "anti-vaccine" and "anti-lockdown" - according to the AP -
demonstrations in Canada continued to inspire similar movements
abroad, from Paris to New Zealand, and beyond.

VIdeo from Parliament Hill showed thousands of people who came
together to dance, sing, and engage in that new national pastime -
mocking the CBC, which apparently blacked out coverage of the
protests.

Even a former correspondent complained.

    So, wanted to tune in to @CBCNews for the latest on the biggest
crisis in modern Canadian history. My options? The Olympics or a Fifth
Estate replay.

    Former CBC journalist here: This is a major #fail. Seriously -
who’s in charge?

At one point, the demonstration seemed to center around Ottawa's
memorial to the Canadian war dead.

    Thanks for clarifying because what I thought happened was Canadian
Veterans had carefully moved the temporary fencing to clear the snow
on the steps of the memorial to pay their respects to the fallen.

The NYT and others reported that protests inspired by the truckers in
Ottawa, Coutts, and Windsor have begun to pop up at border areas
across Canada.

    The honk has spread to British Columbia https://t.co/yYFiENUROU

Here's a map published by the NYT Sunday morning:

There's another detail the NYT has been forced to begrudgingly admit:
the percentage of Canadians who support doing away with all COVID
restrictions has risen in recent weeks. Remember, the protests started
as a reaction to unfair vaccination restrictions that would have made
unvaccinated truckers essentially unable to earn their livelihoods.
But it has certainly morphed into something bigger.

As Tamara Lich, one of the organizers of the protests, said in an
interview with the NYT, the protesters and their supporters are
determined to continue until the government - and PM Justin Trudeau,
who has been in hiding after testing positive for COVID despite being
recently boosted - meets their demands.

    “Our departure will be based on the prime minister doing what is
right, ending all mandates and restrictions on our freedoms,” Ms. Lich
said at a news conference in Ottawa last week, during which she did
not take questions. “We will continue our protest until we see a clear
plan for their elimination.”

Amazingly, the NYT managed to find a Canadian man who emigrated in the
early 1950s after serving in the German military during WWII. Having
"grown up under Hitler," 93-year-old Karl Braeker wanted to visit the
protests hanging out on Ottawa's Parliament Hill to see for himself
whether the demonstrators were truly "white nationalists" and "nazis"
like some media reports have claimed. In his considered opinion, they
are not.

    Karl Braeker, 93, sat on an orange wool blanket at the Centennial
Fountain under a dusting of snow. Originally from Germany, Mr. Braeker
said he had served in the German military as a teenager under the
Nazis, and emigrated to Canada in 1951.

    “It is very deep what brings me here: I grew up under Hitler in
Germany,” he said. He had come in person concerned over reports that
the protesters shared white nationalistic or Nazi sentiments. From his
vantage point on the fountain, he said, he felt they did not.

    Watching the protests, he said, had “brought back all of my
P.T.S.D.” from serving in Hitler’s army. He said that he had not slept
for days when the protest first began — particularly after hearing
that swastikas had been seen on flags. He asked his son to drive him
here to see for himself. “I’ve always loved Canada for the freedom,”
Mr. Braeker said. “I had to come here to see.”

Meanwhile, a live feed of the Ambassador Bridge showed that everything
looked quiet.

Of course, now that the protest has been cleared at the Ambassador
Bridge, the Canadian government will no longer be able to blame the
truckers for their economic woes. It's also worth noting that the
protests have spread in the US, where the Department of Homeland
Security is scrambling to stop truckers and their supporters from
protesting at the Super Bowl.
