Just a little flex before resuming the death grip...

I think this is an original thought...

The truckers should not have stopped and parked the trucks. If 5k trucks drove all around Ottawa, then the city would have shut down. Could have done in shifts. No statutes being broken.

They were fools to overtly flaunt themselves without real backing.

Yeah, their tactics really sucked. Hard to hit a moving target.

Roving bouncing castles would not have gone over well.

I heard on one podcast that one of the "leaders" of the truckers was a staffer for one of Fideleto's lackeys.

Anyone come across this?

Read a good Gab earlier in the week pointing out several examples of Ottawa police inverting reality about events at the Trucker protest. Like calling them fringe when no other protest in years has had such broad and middle class support, or calling the protestors hateful and dangerous people when near all the video show loving and even child friendly, etc. Here was another:

thepulse.one: Ottawa Police Maintain “A Bicycle Was Thrown” at A Horse Who Trampled Protesters

FEBRUARY 20, 2022
The Facts:
Ottawa Police horses trampled two individuals during Ottawa protests, one being an elderly indigenous woman who was taken to the hospital.
Interim police chief Steve Bell maintains that a bicycle was thrown and protesters were getting aggressive.
All video footage shows this is untrue.

Reflect On:
Should we take the word of someone leading a show of force that unnecessarily harmed people? Or should we let our own eyes see the truth in plain video from multiple sources?...

As the horses trotted in, an elderly indigenous woman was knocked off her walking scooter and hit the ground. Another man was trampled by the horse. Police claim there was a bicycle thrown at the horses which caused them to to trip. As an eye witness, there was no bicycle anywhere, only her walking scooter, and nothing was thrown...

Ottawa police chief Steve Bell stated,
“Almost immediately there [were] tweets, there [were] pictures that had been photoshopped, out on social media that indicated people had died, that the horses had run over someone with a walker in the crowd.”

Bell went on to say he would “check” into the idea that it was not a bicycle and get back to people. So far, even though the video and photo evidence is clear, the Ottawa Police have said nothing.

thepostmillennial.com: Woman trampled by police horses at freedom protest says she is moving to Florida

The Mohawk woman who was trampled by horses at the freedom convoy protests will be moving to Florida with her family.

A tweet by Candy Sero, the woman who was trampled by mounted police officers, announced her decision on Twitter on Thursday.
"After getting trampled by horses by Trudeau I decided I will be moving to Florida with my family," she wrote.

Footage showed mounted police officers charging through a narrow opening in the pro-freedom crowd, knocking down some people on the way through.

One of those who were knocked down was Sero, who was seen in video and photographs lying in the middle of the horses with her walking assist device.

According to her niece, Sero suffered a broken clavicle from the event.

Video shows Sero in a wheelchair leaving the hospital days after the incident, with the woman who took the video saying "born to be alive."
Sero is heard saying, "Hold the line!"

theconservativetreehouse.com: A Major Backfire – Is the Canadian Financial and Banking System in Serious Trouble as a Result of Their Attack on Private Bank Accounts?

February 23, 2022
Has there been a massive exodus of capital out of the Canadian financial system?
A few obscure but interesting data-points seem to indicate Justin Trudeau’s unprecedented use of the federal government and intelligence apparatus to target the bank accounts of Canadian citizens has just created a serious problem for their financial institutions.

If I was a betting person, I would bet half my stake that something very serious is happening in the background of the Canadian financial system, and it appears the leaders inside government, as well as leaders in the international financial community, are reacting and trying to keep things quiet...

If the government can work with the RCMP to target people based on an arbitrary political decree, and then control your bank account while simultaneously giving financial institutions liability protection for their participation, the confidence in the banking system is immediately undermined.

What might seem like a great tool for political punishment has long term consequences, especially if people start withdrawing their money and/or shifting the placement of their investments to more secure locations away from the reach of the Canadian government.

Great speech from a Canadian Sentor. Yet no mention in Google or Bing news searches. Only links to the video on regular searching. This may have been the speech that saved Canada from Trudeau's War Measures Act.

Its long though, a highlight would be 5 minutes or so after 45min where he talks about repercussions on Canada's banking and financial system and reputation.

substack.com: The Senate Speech That May Have Forced Justin Trudeau to Revoke the Emergencies Act

Feb 23
Canada cancelled the Emergencies Act today. Regardless of what the government and media may claim, the most likely reason is that the Senate would have voted against it following a truly remarkable speech given by Senator Donald Plett. It is a remarkable speech that sets the record straight about what happened on the ground in Ottawa over these past weeks, the dangerous legal precendents that were being set, the historical context of what Justin Trudeau tried to impose, and the devastating consequences to our democracy, our legal system, and our financial system.

I encourage you to listen to Senator Plett’s extraordinary speech - it is worth every minute. And please send it to every single person you know, especially those who believed the government’s actions to be lawful. This speech goes a very long way towards helping Canadians understand the terrifying magnitude of what our leaders did and the monumental challenges ahead to repair the damage that has been done to our country over these past few weeks.

theconservativetreehouse.com/blog: BOOM, Trudeau Reversal Motive Surfaces – Canadian Banking Association Was Approved by World Economic Forum To Lead the Digital ID Creation

February 23, 2022
A promotional video from the Canadian Bankers Association (CBA) helps to neatly connect all the dots about why the Canadian government made such a quick reversal in their bank asset seizures in the last 24 hours. And yes, as we suspected, it was almost certainly contact from the World Economic Forum to Canadian Finance Minister Chrystia Freeland that triggered the change in position.

When Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau and Finance Minister Chrystia Freeland announced they would use the Emergency Act declaration to target the financial support systems, banks and accounts of the people who were protesting against COVID mandates, they not only undermined the integrity of the Canadian banking system – but they also inadvertently stuck a wrench into the plans of the World Economic Forum and the collaborative use of the Canadian Bankers Association to create a digital id.

Against the backdrop of the Canadian government action, WATCH THIS VIDEO:

Canadian Bankers Association Promotes Digital IDs And Refers To WEF

2:15

If the Canadian government can arbitrarily block citizen access to their banking institution without any due process, what does that say about the system the Canadian Banking Association (CBA) was putting into place as part of their Digital ID network?

If the CBA digital identity were in place, the same people targeted by Trudeau’s use of the Emergency Act would have their entire identity blocked by the same government measures. The realization of the issue, reflected by a severe undermining of faith in the banking system, is a dramatic problem for those working to create and promote the Digital ID.

It is not coincidental the financial targeting mechanism deployed by Trudeau/Freeland, the Canadian banking system, is the same system being used to create the digital identity. As a result of the government targeting bank accounts, Finance Minister Freeland just created a reference point for those who would argue against allowing the creation of a comprehensive digital identity.

The motive for the World Economic Forum and Canadian Bankers Association to immediately reach out to Trudeau and Freeland and tell them to back off their plan is crystal clear. THAT is almost certainly why Freeland appeared so admonished, shocked and incapable of getting her footing yesterday {A Major Backfire – Is the Canadian Financial and Banking System in Serious Trouble as a Result of Their Attack on Private Bank Accounts?}, and why the Canadian government simultaneously informed Parliament they were unfreezing the bank accounts.

Justin Trudeau and Chrystia Freeland essentially broke the financial code of Omerta, by highlighting how easy it is for government to seize your bank accounts, credit cards, retirement accounts, insurance, mortgages, loan access and cut you off from money (without due process).

I remember a few weeks back it being reported in the news Canada's foreign minister and long time Hillary Clinton accolade and WEFer, Mélanie Joly met with Hillary. Could only find a search engine result for this meeting of one citizen's Youtube video!

But I did learn she is now with Justin in Europe touring Jewish memorials and tweeting: "We stand with Ukraine in their fight for democracy."

realclearpolitics.com: Canadian Foreign Minister Melanie Joly: "Disinformation" And "Financing" Fueling The Convoy Is Coming From "Foreign Elements"

February 18, 2022
Canadian Foreign Minister Melanie Joly fielded a question about the response to the trucker "Freedom Convoy" protest in Ottawa, during a panel on Friday at the Munich Security Conference:...

MELANIE JOLY, CANADIAN FOREIGN MINISTER: First and foremost, I think we can be proud of Canadians that have decided to get a vaccine and we're now at a level of 80% for all the population of Canada -- kids five years old and up. And also I think that it is we're now starting the third year of the pandemic, Hadley. People are tired, exasperated. In French, there is a saying... we say they're fed up. It is a Nordic country and January and February are harsh months. At this point, the mental health of Canadians is something I have in mind.

Meanwhile, there is the right to peaceful protest in Canada and we obviously want to make sure that right is upheld, but we're past that at this point.

My biggest concern as the foreign minister at this point is the foreign interference that is happening in the convoy we're seeing in Canada right now. The disinformation campaign, where it comes from. The financing of it, where it comes from.

And so we know that obviously there are Canadians who have gone and protested in a peaceful manner. There are also within the truckers' convoy some elements that are extremely preoccupying and that led to also criminal charges. Particularly at the Coutts border crossing between the U.S. [state of Montana] and Canada where there were criminal charges laid up and also arms that were seized.

HADLEY GAMBLE, CNBC: Do you believe that Donald Trump specifically has a role in what is happening in Canada?

MELANIE JOLY, CANADIAN FOREIGN MINISTER: Listen, as Foreign Affairs minister I won't point out somebody in particular, but we know there is foreign interference. That is why also we have decided to go ahead and use for the first time in our county, the Emergencies Act.

Remember the Gofundme 'leak' last month? Well it was not a leak but a hack, but what was not made clear was the hacker's did not release all the donors, and this 'disinformation' was utilized by Canadian officials to support declaration of the Emergency (War measures) Act!

ctvnews.ca:Convoy fundraising leak shows substantial U.S. donations

February 14, 2022
Some 36,000 Canadian donors — about 39 per cent — are listed in the partial leak, apparently taken from U.S.-based platform GiveSendGo and posted online by a website devoted to disseminating leaked data.

But that number is dwarfed by the number of American donors — some 51,000 or about 55 per cent...

I remember it being reported at that time that ~80% of funding was from the United States.

ctvnews.ca: Feds ready to act should 'foul play' be detected in trucker convoy funding, says public safety minister

February 7, 2022
Public Safety Minister Marco Mendicino says the federal government will be in a position to act should law enforcement detect nefarious financial support of the “Freedom Convoy.”

His comments come amid speculation that the convoy received American-backed financing as it pursued its occupation of the nation’s capital in an attempt to convince elected officials to remove all vaccine mandates and other public health restrictions.

“We now have evidence from law enforcement that the previously peaceful demonstration has become an occupation, with police reports of violence and other unlawful activity,” a statement from GoFundMe reads...

Ottawa Police Chief Peter Sloly indicated in a press conference last week that there may be U.S. ties.

“We are now aware of a significant element from the U.S. that have been involved in the funding, the organizing,” he said.

Mendicino said on Monday that Canada has a “robust” intelligence community that will flag to the government concerns of national security, as well as a separate branch within the RCMP that looks into these types of issues...

Emergency Preparedness Minister Bill Blair added that it is necessary to cast a light on the sources of funding who are endorsing “illegal activity.”

“I think when [Canadians] understand the source of some of this funding, it helps them understand the motivation of this protest – who is actually behind it – and I think it also reveals some of the false nature of claims being made and the positions being put forward,” he said on Monday.

MPs on the House of Commons Public Safety and National Security Committee have called GoFundMe to testify about the funds raised.

“Important questions remain about how such a huge sum of money could be raised by anonymous donors and what their motivations were. People are rightly worried about American interference and what sort of standard is applied when donations are accepted,” reads a statement from the NDP’s public safety critic Alistair MacGregor.

“It's not enough for GoFundMe to cancel the campaign as though there's nothing to see here.”

Tamara Lich, one of the protest organizers, said in a video last Friday that they are redirecting donations to U.S.- based GiveSendGo, which describes itself as a free, Christian crowdfunding platform...

Trudeau in Parliament told legislators and Canadians last month:

"We see that roughly half of the funding that was flowing to the barricaders here was coming from the United States."

A month later and after the Federal Governments unjustified use of the new War Measures Act against the protest:

bcrise.com: GoFundMe finally admits the Freedom Convoy wasn’t foreign funded

March 8, 2022
GoFundMe has been chastised for supporting destructive left-wing occupations, such as the Capitol Hill Autonomous Zone in Seattle, as well as violent Black Lives Matter demonstrations, according to critics.

NDP leader Jagmeet Singh and Prime Minister Justin Trudeau said that the trucker’s convoy was fueled by “foreign actors and money” aiming to “sow division in Canada” when they froze the assets and shut down the fundraising.

Of course these are actually false claims.

President of GoFundMe Juan Benitez has recently finally admitted that approximately 90% of donations to the campaign came from Canada.
This was revealed during a meeting of the House of Commons’ public safety and national security committee.

He continued with saying that 88 percent of the funds to the convoy were donated by Canadians, with 86 percent of the donors being Canadian.

This is in complete conflict to Trudeau and a number of other cabinet officials who have circulated false information concerning convoy funding.

Singh’s claim that “US interference from the extreme right and millions of dollars via anonymous foreign sources,” then, was [significantly] unsubstantiated and false
