Who, exactly, is going to bring violence?
Opportunity to end convoy protest peacefully is slipping away, experts say
As the protest against vaccine mandates heads into its third weekend in Ottawa and spreads to border towns, observers say the window for ending it peacefully is closing.
On Friday, Ontario Premier Doug Ford announced a state of emergency as protest blockades continued to shut down parts of Ottawa’s downtown core and portions of Windsor’s Ambassador Bridge — a key cross-border supply route.
The move is largely administrative and gives Ford the power to bring in new orders to punish those who block and impede the movement of goods, people and services along critical infrastructure.
Jack Rozdilsky, an associate professor of disaster and emergency management at York University, said there are still ways to obtain a peaceful end to the crisis.
But “every day longer this goes on, it moves in a more dangerous direction where, essentially, it’ll reach the point where the hand of authority is forced,” he said.
In other words, people who are protesting peacefully, as their Right per Canada’s Constitution, down in the Charter Of Rights And Freedoms. The experts are blaming the protesters if Government violence is used to end their peaceful protest. Hey, sorry about the honking, blocked streets, and bounce houses, you must be put down.
Trudeau also seems to be threatening them
(Breitbart) Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau told Canadian trucker protesters, “you are breaking laws,” as the Freedom Convoy has created a blockade on the Ambassador Bridge, a key shipping route for U.S.-Canada trade.
Trudeau said the protesters are seeking to take the economy hostage. He made a distinction between the truckers and those who are fatigued with his onerous public health mandates, even though the protests started due to Trudeau’s mandates.
“I want to make something very clear,” Trudeau told reporters on Friday. “The illegal blockades seeking to take our neighborhoods and our economy hostage and the collective COVID fatigue we are facing are two very separate things.”
“If you joined the protests because you’re tired of COVID you now need to understand you are breaking laws. The consequences are becoming more and more severe,” he warned. “You don’t want to end up losing your license, end up with a criminal record which will impact your job, your livelihood, even your ability to travel internationally, including to the U.S.”
Punished for protesting? Do these Elites even read their Charter of Rights and Freedoms?
Like a scalded cat, former Principal Secretary to Prime Minister Justin Trudeau Gerald Michael Butts went running off to the bottom of the trash heap in a pathetic attempt to save his longtime protege, the worst prime minister in Canadian history, in a CNN interview.
“As the former Principal Secretary to Prime Minister Justin Trudeau, Butts was praised as the architect behind the Liberal Party of Canada platform that led to their victory in October of 2015 and was one of the most senior staffers in the Office of the Prime Minister, along with Katie Telford.” (Wikipedia)
In hurling outrageous insults at Canadian Truckers and their supporters, Butts sounds exactly like his former boss: “It’s really important that we’re getting to a point in the pandemic where we’ll be able to open up again largely because Canadians have been doing their civic duty and not because of a lawless mob in in downtown Ottawa,” Butts said in a Wednesday CNN interview.
None of these same politicians really had a problem with the BLM protests in Canada, many of which turned violence (shocker), like in Montreal and Ottawa. But, going against the truckers is the same playbooks the Powers That Be used against those initially protesting COVID restrictions, calling non-violent protests “dangerous”.
You know how to end this? Remove the requirement that cross border truckers be vaccinated. If truckers want to take the chance in their own lives, let them.
