^^^ I think they are mostly waiting to see what Justin Trudeau has to say this afternoon.

Rather than remove any of the Canadian government restrictions and rules surrounding COVID-19 mandates, media are reporting that at 4:30pm today Prime Minister Justin Trudeau will instead invoke the Emergency Act, formerly the War Powers Act, to take emergency action to quell the ‘Freedom Protests’ taking place in Canada.

This is a rather remarkable development highlighting the severity of the totalitarian mindset behind the governing Liberal party in Canada. The Emergency Act has never before been used.

Well, the truckers have had quite an impact, haven't they? And if Trudeau takes such drastic action, the truckers have, in a sense, accomplished far more than they could have hoped for. It's not going to be a pretty picture, cracking heads of the truckers and manhandling women and children.

Despite the initial avoidance by the press of covering this movement, I imagine there are very few people in Canada who aren't aware now of what is going on. Eventually, the truckers would have to leave Ottawa, and this just might be the best way for it to happen, because it will be the most politically damaging way for Trudeau to try to resolve an issue he could have taken care of if he had just agreed to meet with the truckers.

The RCMP are little more than hired thugs with a gun and a badge.

They have set the low bar in what they consider to be law enforcement. They will do anything to anyone and wont feel bad about doing it.

The most trustworthy RCMP officer is one of the horses from the Musical Ride. You know it’s going to crap near you at some point and it doesn’t let you down.

Awful long border to secure …

So the state issued orders to the police to damage private property on the premise it MIGHT get used in a trumped up crime.

And they OBEYED it.

Keep in mind, the leftist element in canuckistan are celebrating the thought of the state using tyranny against conservative minded citizens.

What next for the RCMP?

Let's strive for accuracy shall we. The RCMP committed criminal vandalism of private property and criminal trespass. So help me here, what's the difference between the RCMP and common criminals? None that I can see.

Wittle Justin so wants to be viewed as a powerful man, but alas, he appears more and more to be just a pussy.

BREAKING: Trudeau Has Declared Martial Law Against Freedom Convoy Protest

Justin Trudeau is making a declaration of “emergency” to suspend civil rights and impose a state of martial law due to the Freedom Convoy protests.

The Canadian Prime Minister made the announcement on Monday.

Trudeau is invoking an executive order that was formerly called the War Measures Act. The Emergencies Act is the rebrand used during two world wars and in 1970 when militant Quebec separatists kidnapped a British diplomat.

The military is poised to intervene against the truckers, according to Canadian media reports. Trudeau’s arbitrary invocation of the Emergencies Act, rather than recognize the fundamental human rights of Canadian citizens, thus effectively suspends the Constitution, the Charter and even the International Covenant on Civil Rights.

Furthermore, Canada is going to be expanding anti-money laundering and terrorist financing rules to cover the Freedom Cover protests.

However, a number of premiers have pushed back against Trudeau for invoking the Emergencies Act, rather than recognize the legitimacy of the Freedom Convoy protesters wanting their rights to be respected.

“The illegal blockades must end, but police already have sufficient tools to enforce the law and clear the blockades, as they did over the weekend in Windsor,” tweeted Saskatchewan Premier Scott Moe.

“Therefore, Saskatchewan does not support the Trudeau government invoking the Emergencies Act. If the federal government does proceed with this measure, I would hope it would only be invoked in provinces that request it, as the legislation allows,” he added.

“I am proud of Manitoba’s law enforcement officials & have full confidence in them to protect our communities. The proposal from the federal government to use the Emergencies Act is not helpful to the situation at the Emerson Border,” Manitoba Premier Heather Stefanson wrote.

“Alberta Premier Jason Kenney told reporters that he told Trudeau earlier on Monday that he would prefer if the Emergencies Act did not apply to Alberta, and that such a move was unnecessary in the province,” Fox News reported.

“Quebec Premier Francois Legault also warned that he did not want the Emergencies Act to be applied to his province, warning that he thought such a measure would be divisive,” the report added.

“It’s not time to throw fuel on the fire,” he said.

On Sunday, Canadian police have begun mass arrests of Freedom Convoy protesters who had successfully blocked the critical Ambassador Bridge for nearly a week. But now the Canadian government has a whole new problem.

The Windsor Police announced the operation to arrest the Freedom Convoy protesters on Sunday morning.

The police also announced that vehicles were being towed and that Canadians should avoid the area.

The protests were being recorded by journalists until police forcibly expelled them from the area. Sean O’Shea of Global News reported the police arrests.

Ellen Maurro of CBC News also reported arrests.

Tactical assault vehicles were brought in to intimidate the protesters into complying.

The police also cleared nearby protests in support of the Freedom Convoy.

Canadian veterans had earlier stepped in to slow the police clearance down.

But the Trudeau government has a whole new problem: For every Ambassador Bridge the Canadian government clears, there will be new border crossing blockades and Freedom Convoy protests.

“May I introduce you to Surrey, British Columbia, near the Washington State border,” Rebel News’ Ezra Levant tweeted. “This is going to be like whack-a-mole until Trudeau submits.”

Indeed, the Washington Post has reported that more protests and border blockades are in progress.

“The protesters continued to block parts of Canada’s capital city, Ottawa, for the third consecutive weekend and staged disruptive blockades at other border crossings in Canada,” Washington Post reported.

“Disruptions have also plagued other vital cross-border arteries — from Coutts, Alberta, which connects to Montana, to Surrey in British Columbia, which connects to Washington state,” WaPo added.

In Toronto, the police are actually blocking off roads to prevent Canadians from having their freedom of movement restricted by the protests.

Nonetheless, Ontario announced that it would be ending the vaccine passports on March 1st, joining four other provinces that have agreed to lift Covid measures due to the Freedom Convoy protests: Saskatchewan, Alberta, Quebec and Prince Edward Island.

If they had a court order to do so it's one thing, maybe someone catfished/swatted that business owner and reported he was going to move his equipment into the blockade, wouldn't be the first time that's happened. If they just decided to destroy someone's equipment for no reason, that sucks, the question is does Canada law permit law enforcement to enter property on the potential threat based on ownership of an item.

Scary if Canada law permits warrantless action by police.

Guessing that PewDeaux is simply waiting it out, until the Truckers give up for whatever reason when nothing changes, then going to go back to his normal operation calling it an insurrection by fringe members of the anti-vaxx other party and politically weaponize the whole thing..

Call Guinness. A 5'7" pussy talked for almost 8 minutes. That's got to be a record.

Canadians, ya got a real winner there. Wow! I almost expected him to start stamping his feet and screaming during that piece.

Oh, and does the chick standing behind him in her face diaper have tourette's or something? Or maybe a feminine itch issue?

A court order to destroy private property? Say what? Never seen anything of the sort before. And at no time during the recorded conversations with the RCMP did anyone note any court involvement. As we've seen throughout these protests, Trudeau and this government don't give a damn about the law, and the cops do as they please making them little more than common criminals with guns.

So they figure the people would prefer to have their freedom of movement restricted by the government instead of by the protests? Or more likely the government doesn't give a shit how the people feel, but want the people to be unable to move to support the protests. We'll see how well that goes down.

This does not appear to be going well for Monsieur Fidelsson <smh>

A lot of those people protesting have already lost everything — jobs, houses, family, savings. There is no money to freeze or seize. The only thing they have left is their right to speak and their jab-free bodies.

Remarkable, Trudeau Government Use Emergency Act to Seize Bank Accounts of Protestors, You Cannot Protest Government and Maintain a Bank Account in Canada

In a major exhibition of raw power of the federal police state, the Canadian government announced today they have instructed banks, insurance companies and financial institutions to seize the accounts of any individual, group or business who are associated with political protest.

Using the Emergency War Measures Act, Prime Minister Justin Trudeau has just declared war against his own people. You cannot protest against government and still retain a bank account in Canada. I suspect a great number of Canadians will quickly move their assets into foreign banks including in the United States.

The announcement came after a meeting of the cabinet according to Trudeau and the financial measures were outlined in detail by Finance Minister Chrystia Freeland.

Corporate, business and individual bank accounts will be frozen and locked, this extends to crowdfunding sites and even cryptocurrencies. To support these measures the government has created federal protection from civil liability to all financial institutions, including insurance companies.

Banks will begin freezing and seizing the account assets of any person, group or organization they may arbitrarily suspect of being aligned with, active with, or supporting the freedom protest. The government has specifically crafted the financial mechanisms so financial institution can use their discretion on who should be targeted. There are no structured rules for the banks to follow.

Additionally, the insurance policies associated with any individual, trucker, group, business or corporation who is identified or suspected of participating in a protest against the Canadian government will be nullified at the discretion of the insurance carrier. Again, civil liability protection provided against recourse from the targeted entity.

Crowdfunding groups will now be required to register with the Canadian government and the regulatory agency the Financial Transactions and Reports Analysis Centre of Canada (FINTRAC), the national financial intelligence agency within the Canadian government. This way all funds raised by individuals or groups can be monitored, blocked and/or seized by the government if the beneficiary of the funding is defined as acting against the interests of the Trudeau administration, or protesting.

The seizures apply to any entity, including opposing political parties, who might dissent from the policy of the Trudeau government. In essence, the Prime Minister’s office can freeze the bank accounts of his political opposition and, using the power within the Emergency Act, Trudeau provides himself immunity from any liability for that action. Yes, this is all rather remarkable and never before fathomed in a “western democracy.”

“The illegal blockades have highlighted the fact that crowdfunding platforms, and some of the payment service providers they use, are not fully captured under the Proceeds of Crime and Terrorist Financing Act,” Finance Minister Chrystia Freeland said. “We are making these changes because we know that these platforms are being used to support illegal blockades and illegal activity which is damaging the Canadian economy.”

Canadian financial institutions can now temporarily cease providing financial services if the institution suspects an account is being used to further the illegal blockades and occupations, said Freeland. “This order covers both personal and corporate accounts,” she said.

Coward. This is not leadership.

The next logical step for Turdeaux would be having the next election cancelled due to the 'emergency' and to have himself declared dictator.
Hmmmm, where have we seen that type of scenario play out before?
His father Fidel would be so proud.

You think he's going to declare himself "dictator". You actually believe this?

People don't declare themselves "dictator for life!" anymore... that's so old fashioned.
Now, you just use your "emergency powers" to seize your political opponents assets and bank accounts.
