See Oka crisis, go a few more years back to the fun times with the FLQ.

These fine truckers are financed by the fascist US right, their leaders are the maverick party, before that they were weexit, a fascist right party that wants to separate from Canada. 2 years ago they pulled the same stunt, different outrage, same formula for financing...

Look familiar?

Large convoy of trucks arrives in Ottawa to protest federal government
A pipeline protest convoy of hundreds of trucks is expected to arrive in Ottawa in the morning and make its way to Parliament Hill. This to protest the federal government's policies on the oil industry. The convoy includes members of the Yellow Vest Movement which has widely varying agendas from supporting pipelines to denouncing a United Nations compact on global migration.

Feel free to refute any perceived "nonsense". largest US/Can border crossing is currently blocked Fiendish Thingy Feb 2022 #4

Well, first off, you indulge in binary, all or nothing, black or white thinking, which is very flawe Bernardo de La Paz Feb 2022 #6

Did the police/border patrol attempt to stop the blockade of the Ambassador bridge? Fiendish Thingy Feb 2022 #12

Hell No . .. Lovie777 Feb 2022 #2

How many Jan6 are acceptable to you? Did you post US democracy on brink of collapse Jan 2017 & Jan6? Bernardo de La Paz Feb 2022 #15

My position on the fragility of US democracy is easily researched in my past posts on DU. Fiendish Thingy Feb 2022 #20

How many border crossings are there? Spazito Feb 2022 #19

It is the inaction of leadership that puts Canada's democracy at risk Fiendish Thingy Feb 2022 #21

You do know there are 4 big crossings from Michigan to Ontario, right? Spazito Feb 2022 #23

And how would 8,000 more truck a day impact these crossings? Fiendish Thingy Feb 2022 #24

The point is the trucks have options... Spazito Feb 2022 #26

Very true... Spazito Feb 2022 #18

How much anarchy is too much for you? Nt Fiendish Thingy Feb 2022 #22

Your conclusion, "a new election", is not anarchy. Most consider elections hallmark of democracy.nt Bernardo de La Paz Feb 2022 #25

You seriously misunderstand my position- it's not that a new election would be anarchy Fiendish Thingy Feb 2022 #27

You write there is pending "collapse" of democracy & then propose an anarchic election Bernardo de La Paz Feb 2022 #30
