Clearly, the only “freedom” now in the west is only had so long as you do not go against the establishment.
Which isn’t freedom at all.
Tow trucks on contract to Ottawa refuse to remove convoyers: city official
Ottawa has a list of companies with a standing offer to provide tow services on the municipal dime.
But city manager Steve Kanellakos told reporters Monday evening that those operators have unilaterally said “no” to the city’s requests amid the ongoing demonstration snarling Ottawa’s downtown, now in its second week.
“We’ve contacted them all and they’re all refusing … to provide heavy tow truck work,” Kanellakos said in a press conference following a special city council meeting.
And now they (the elites) are threatening the tow truck companies.
He said those operators are still doing “light” work for the city like towing cars.
But it’s the heavy truck and larger vehicle jobs that are being refused.
“Many of them or most of them don’t want to do the work, especially the heavy tow truck work, because they rely on the heavy truck industry for their livelihood and they don’t want to damage that part of their business,” Kanellakos said.
So what are you gonna do?
Kanellakos said the city is reviewing its contracts with its tow providers and seeing “what actions we can take to deal with this unprecedented situation.”
Yay, like losing suing for not fulfilling the contracts, to terminating the contracts, to pulling their license to work within city limits, etc… BLACKMAIL!
And this is not just for the tow truck companies, as in another article we got this:
Federal transport minister calls on (provincial) government to cancel protesters’ commercial truck licences.
So if you are not an NPC, following the government narrative/agenda, where you should live in security at the expense of your rights and freedoms and abilities to socialize and earn a living, you are the minority, and minorities are NOT being protected when it suits them NOT to.
What the government wants to do is segregate citizens, discriminate against citizens, and you should cheer, just like in the film “Revenge of the Sith”, when freedom DIED. But a resistance to tyranny is growing.
This is just another step towards having a social score system officially adopted to control the population.
Prevent the free movement of people who don’t think like the elites want.
Prevent people from being able to earn a living who don’t think like the elites want.
etc.
Liberal MP accuses his own government of ‘politicized’ approach to the pandemic
Liberal Quebec MP Joël Lightbound says he’s uncomfortable with the federal government’s handling of the ongoing COVID-19 crisis, saying its pandemic response has become “politicized” and “divisive.”
No sh!t.
Pointing to more than a dozen developed countries that have started to do away with restrictions already, Lightbound said Tuesday it’s reasonable to rethink Canada’s COVID-19 approach as it becomes increasingly clear that the world will be dealing with this virus for years to come.
True.
Lightbound said people who question existing policies should not be “demonized” by their prime minister.
“I can’t help but notice with regret that both the tone and the policies of my government have changed drastically since the last election campaign. It went from a more positive approach to one that stigmatizes and divides people,” Lightbound said.
But they need to play the victim card, so they need to demonize a group. And unless/until this fringe “MINORITY” government fails at one of the confidence votes, they have four years to mismanage the nation.
Lightbound said the Liberal government’s decision to put vaccines at the centre of the political debate risks undermining public trust in the country’s public health institutions.
“It’s becoming harder and harder to know when public health stops and where politics begins,” he said. “It’s time to stop dividing Canadians and pitting one part of the population against another.”
Right now, I would say it is DEFINITELY purely POLITICS.
Speaking to reporters on Parliament Hill, Lightbound said COVID-19-related restrictions have wreaked havoc for too long and the federal government needs to provide some sort of “roadmap” for lifting pandemic measures, such as the strict limits on travel. He said measures that were reasonable in a previous phase of the pandemic should not be “normalized with no end in sight.”
And that is what we ALL want.
None of this constant moving goal-posts.
So saying 100% jab rate, zero ICU, zero hospitalizations, zero active cases, is NOT acceptable.
Saying this IS the new normal too is NOT acceptable as well.
Let everyone know what the end-plan is to these restrictions.
These protesters are a clear sign Canadians are feed up and WANTS to see the signs leading to the end of the tunnel (and of the end of restrictions on our lives).
Stop adding MORE restrictions.
Give us a clear and concrete plan to return back to pre-pandemic life.
And now they are targeting parents and the kids at the protest!
Large number of children among protesters hampering response, police say
Ottawa police say almost 25 per cent of the 418 trucks still involved in the ongoing demonstration downtown have children, which has hampered the force’s response and led to concerns about the children’s safety.
So they can’t just storm the protester with riot police, because there are children there.
Bell said police are working the Children’s Aid Society of Ottawa regarding those children.
“It’s something that greatly concerns us,” Bell said, as first responders are worried about the constant exposure to carbon monoxide, fumes, noise levels and the sanitation of the children.
“We’ll rely on the Children’s Aid Society to help provide and give us guidance around that. We just think it’s an important factor that complicates and makes this an even more challenging operation.”
In a statement to CBC, the society confirmed it is working with Ottawa police and said it has a duty to investigate allegations of abuse and whether a child may need protection.
Translated to engligh, they are look at ways to remove the children from their parents, so they can re-indoctrinate the kids to being a libtard. And find anything they can throw at the parents in the hopes something sticks in court to demonize/criminalize the parents.
Clearly, the only “freedom” now in the west is only had so long as you do not go against the establishment.
Which isn’t freedom at all.
well if they are blocking the traffic for several days, it is illegal. Therefore I can understand the frustration towards them. Everyone should have the right to protest but through legal ways, not by breaking the law and causing harm to others.
Someone pointed out the other day that the convoy shows what the lockdown did to people. The lockdown also resulted in economic sanctions on smaller businesses. All the truckers did was flip the script. Let’s see how you like lockdowns and economic sanctions. The globalists started this war on the little guy and they can’t take what they dish out? All the Canadians did was hold up a mirror.
Texas attorney general to probe GoFundMe for removing Canada’s trucker convoy fundraiser
A statement on Wednesday said that Attorney General Ken Paxton would probe potential violations of the Texas Deceptive Trade Practices Act after the crowd-funding platform’s integrity had come into question for removing the online campaign.
And if not for the pushback, automatic refunds would NOT have been given, put diverted to a “charity” of GFE approved list.
“GoFundMe’s response to an anti-mandate, pro-liberty movement should ring alarm bells to anyone using the donation platform and, more broadly, any American wanting to protect their constitutional rights,” Paxton said.
As if is not with the left’s agenda, of course they wanted to find a way to take it down.
In making its decision, the platform said it had evidence from law enforcement officials that the demonstration had become an occupation, with reported violence and “other unlawful activity.”
And yet they can collect funds for rioters in the summer of love, this peaceful protest should be NO PROBLEM.
What hypocrats!
Since the GoFundMe page was taken down, an alternative fundraising campaign by Christian crowdfunding site GiveSendGo has raised more than $7.7 million in just a few days.
Anti-vaccine mandate protests spread across the country, crippling Canada-U.S. trade
Federal ministers warned Wednesday that anti-vaccine mandate protests at two key Canada-U.S. border crossings have the potential to seriously disrupt the flow of goods in the days to come.
It got your attention!
“I believe it is very serious and potentially grave. It is already having a huge impact on Canadian industry and Canadian workers,” Blair said of the disruptions.
Just like the mandates are having a HUGE disruption to workers. And these workers are feed up!
Speaking briefly to reporters before question period, Prime Minister Justin Trudeau said his government is working with Ontario and the City of Windsor to put an end to the blockade.
“We need to stop the blockage of supply chains. Jobs are affected,” he said, adding he’s “very preoccupied” with a protest movement that now threatens to bring trade in some regions to a standstill.
And what of the workers these mandates are keeping from making a living? ! ?
There jobs are directly affected by those mandates.
The opposition Conservatives blamed Trudeau and his vaccine mandate for the chaos. They called for a “road map” to end federal pandemic restrictions and clear out illegal blockades that are damaging the economy.
“Countries around the world are opening up. Canadians are ready to get their lives back but it seems like the prime minister wants to live in a permanent pandemic,” Conservative interim leader Candice Bergen said, repeating her call for Trudeau to dump vaccine mandates and travel restrictions.
“The prime minister needs to put his ego aside and do what’s right for the country.”
Agree!
Several nations across the world are opening up. Several provinces too are opening up, with a “road map”.
Why can’t you?
very happy and proud of our Canadian friends.
Very inspiring.
Truckers Give Globalists a Taste of Their Own “Medicine”
Gridlock & Shutdown are what globalist leaders have been doing for the last 2 years? The difference is who is in control of the economic sanctions.
The David Knight Show.
well if they are blocking the traffic for several days, it is illegal. Therefore I can understand the frustration towards them. Everyone should have the right to protest but through legal ways, not by breaking the law and causing harm to others.
Under normal circumstances i would agree with you, but as much as i can understand the frustration of people who need to use the highway (whether for work or to visit family ecc.), i also understand the frustration of those who are blocking the highway
You say about the people blocking the highway causing harm, but the whole reason they blocked it in the first place is because harm was done to them first
Not saying that being harmed gives you the right to harm others, but the root cause of this unfortunate situation isn’t the truckers that are protesting, but it’s the those in power who decided to put mandate afte mandate, restriction after restriction, causing massive damage to the economy and consequently to people’s livelyhood, so of course people are gonna get desprete and do things they wouldn’t normally even dream about
Harm to regular people: “oh it’s fine, just obey and shut up, we’re like, literally in a pandemic. stay at home (unless you’re blm or antifa burning & looting small businesses)”
Harm to elites: “omg arrest them, these protesters are literally criminals”
Protesters:
This is what scares Trudeau and what he calls “dangerous” and “divisive”.
