Blame Canada

We mentioned this earlier, but I just saw confirmation from an official ottawa.gov twitter account:

Attention animal owners at demonstration

If you are unable to care for your animal as a result of enforcement actions, your animal will placed into protective care for 8 days, at your cost. After 8 days, if arrangements are not made, your animal will be considered relinquished.

I kinda wonder what the amount of "at your cost" is.  Not like truckers that haven't worked in a month have a ton of extra cash lying around.  Credit Cards are frozen.  They can't get donations.

That mass freezing of individual bank accounts is just terrifying. As is the doxxing and terrorizing of average people who donated $20 to the protest.

I really think that Trudeau is just an idiot who has been told his whole life that he's special, and is just sure as can be that he's right and these yokels just need to be brought to heel and they'll come around.  He's kind of a classic participation trophy narcissist.

But if his party were trying to goad folks into violence as an excuse, this would be a pretty good way.  Take away everything a person has, make it so they can't feed their family, then threaten to jail start jailing them is a good way to make people think they have nothing to lose.

And on the other side of Canada, environmentalists attack cops and pipeline workers with axes, injure a Mountie, destroy hundreds of thousands of dollars in property, cause oil spills, while receiving funds from a GoFundMe campaign.

No accounts frozen, nobody arrested.

I think the BIG test for democracy in Canada is this: Will the police, military, bankers, etc., do as they're told and OBEY Trudeau's orders to abuse their fellow Canadians?

I expect we'll be hearing "I vas only following orders" coming out of Canada a lot during the next year.

I'm willing to bet real money that the vast, vast majority of Canadian LE will go lock-step. I sadly expect that much of US LE would do the same thing, but still hold hope that many here would find a way not to follow orders. I'm thinking the Canadian culture is much more comfortable, or at least much less resistant, to authority than the US culture. Though we are going downhill fast in that regard.

Currently on that live feed a face off between police, some with M4s, and some protesters.

This could get messy real quick

Here we go

You can bet American politicians and LE are watching this very closely, learning more about what they can expect, and more importantly to them, what they can get away with.

I think, by and large, the Canadians {protesters)are more likely to be peaceful and let the jack boots be seen on TV. Think Selma or Tiananmen square.  Americans are angrier, and American protests are more likely to go rioty than this one seems to be.

You can bet dollars to donuts ANTIFA types will also infiltrate any such protests here ready and willing to make sure it goes hot for the MSM cameras.

Freedom Convoy Leaders ARRESTED As Canada Descends Into Martial Law, Bank Outages CONFIRMED

CBC reporting protesters putting their children between them and the police implying they're using them as human shields. Not seeing any of that on any live feed I've seen.

I have heard opinions that is exactly what they are trying to do.  If the protestors get violent, that gives the Gov more excuse/cover to take direct action against them.

CBC: Arrested organizer has "white nationalist" views

Riiiight.  They’ll say anything to try to discredit the protesters no matter how blatant the lie.  Wouldn’t surprise me if that arrestee were “1st nations” or something other than straight up European ancestry.

Organizer is against vaccine mandates.
White Nationalists are against vaccine mandates.
Therefore the Organizer is a White Nationalist.

And the CBC is Canadian Govt Propaganda.
