The Finance Minister just announced the corporate accounts of trucks in the illegal blockades will be frozen and the insurance will be suspended. She says now is the time to get their trucks out of the blockades.

Premier Kenney says he has the legal powers and doesn't support the Emergency Measure Act use. If he has the powers, why is the Coutts border crossing blockade still there? Why hasn't it come to an end? When will it end in Kenney's world? How long does he intend to allow the border to be shut? The RCMP arrested eleven people and seized a pile of firearms at the Coutts blockade. These weapons could have been brought in because of the length of time this has dragged on. This is the danger of letting these occupations in Ottawa and border blockades drag on. It gives more time for extremists/terrorists to bring in weapons. That is why the sooner all this ends the better for everyone.

We've already been all through that. Being vaccinated does not prevent one from catching Covid. But it makes it a little less likely and most important helps prevent a vaccinated person from serious illness or death. How many times do we have to repeat that?

It would be pointless to work and spend time collecting the information because you have long proven you will not listen anyway. It would be a colossal waste of time.

Would you prefer to live in the dark ages when a third or half of Europe died by the black plague? You would have loved those days with no vaccines, no government, no masks, no social distancing measures, etc. etc. You would have been free to get the plague and die without interference by government.

Politicians are supposed to show leadership and vaccination is the only way out of this pandemic. Thousands more people would die without widespread vaccinations.

Some private schools such as reformed church schools are notorious for not vaccinating the kids. They also had serious illness spread in their schools These people were made up of a lot of Dutch immigrants and their descendents who oppose vaccination and think it is poison. Sad really.

Still in denial of the medical science.

If a medical decision only effects yourself, then that is your decision. But in the case of a pandemic, when the virus is spread from person to person, then of course the is everyone's concern and government's responsibility to protect everyone.

Vaccination has been a normal requirement in public schools for much of the 20th century to protect kids from serious illnesses such as polio, TB, smallpox, whooping cough, measles, etc. It helps prevent kids from spreading it other kids they are in contact with. Millions of lives have been saved by vaccines over the years. Romans Ch13, (not ch12) says God gave government authority over us. In the case of the pandemic government is acting in our interest to protect society from the virus. That's all there is to it.

Well, that is a reasonable question. The answer is we are supposed to help each other. (love thy neighbour) That is why I am trying to help you. Arguing is pointless. Perhaps you can find a Bible-believing church in your area and have coffee and chat with the minister on a regular basis. If he is a good minister and believes the Bible, he should be a valuable resource for you.

I can't see how you can call yourself a Christian and reject God's written revelation to man. That is an oxymoron.

If you are a Christian, you need to read and believe the King James Bible.

Defending the truth of what God said in his written revelation is not popery. I actually attended the Free Presbyterian Church for a couple years but found them to be somewhat popish themselves, although they say they oppose popery. However, I did hear the gospel from the Free Presbyterian Church and God used them to save me. I even had the honour of meeting Dr. Paisley. The Bible is God's revelation to man. If you are a true Protestant Christian, you will believe the KING JAMES Bible is the only infallible authority to live by. Dr. Paisley would not approve of your extremism; neither would God approve. You are following your own ideas, not God who wrote the Bible. You need to do some studying. That's not what I said. Follow the laws and you can protest things legally and peacefully.

No, Jesus was not a revolutionary. That is pure fiction. He did not bring down the Roman empire. That was not his purpose at all. He said his kingdom is not of this world. Taking up the cross against government is evil and anarchy. God never condoned anything like that. If you want to take up the cross for Christ, it must be in accordance with his word. That means quietly, secretly and in accordance with his Word. He did not condone using force or the sword against the authorities. In fact, Christ said to turn the other cheek. We are supposed to be obedient to authorities even if we disagree with them. True Christian character is when you accept things patiently and meekly that you don't agree with or don't like. I often failed in that, but that is what Christians are to do. Carrying a cross to war as in the Crusades was not a Christian thing. People have used God to justify all kinds of evil in the world in history. The Roman Church was a huge offender in history. Consider the so-called Holy Roman Inquisition where they tortured and killed who they deemed as heretics for centuries.

Well, you talk like an anarchist, not like a believer in Christ. Maybe you believe but you are badly misled and don't know the Bible. You need to read Romans ch13 and the New Testament. Give to God what is God's and give to Ceasar what is Ceasars. The Bible is opposed to breaking the law, violence, and anarchy. Blockading bridges, border crossings and streets is illegal and a crime.

Anarchists and law-breakers will face the judgment of God. "“And as it is appointed unto men once to die, but after this the judgment:” Hebrews 9:27 KJV There is a heaven and there is a hell; those are the only places one goes for eternity. There is no such thing as purgatory in the Bible. That is a man-made invention. Anybody putting their hope on paying for their evil behavior in purgatory is only fooling themselves. One needs to repent be born again.

The mayor of Ottawa claimed he made a deal with the trucker and occupiers to leave some residential areas. What a joke. They are still there this morning. What alt reality is the mayor living in? Does he not realize he is dealing with anarchists and criminal minds?

The great majority of veterans do not support these illegal blockades and law-breaking. You talk like a terrorist. No honour or anything good about that.

Nobody said Canada was shut down. But blockades caused a huge loss of jobs, income, business in trade and have to be dealt with. Hundreds of thousands of innocent people suffer for nothing. Blockades are not legal and are not democratic protests. They are anarchy. Trumpsters should stay in their own country and not invade Canada with their criminals.

Bring on the tear gas. Paris knows how to do it. Cleared them out in a hurry.

Wow! Thousands of people thrown out of work and countless businesses affected, but you say Canada is not shut down. That is the dumbest comment I've heard in a while. What reality do you live in? Guess you're not affected when your neighbour's house burns down; so you would be ok with it.

25% of Canada's trade with the U.S. comes across the Ambassador bridge and about 400 million dollars of goods per day. It is one of the largest trade routes in the world. So a small group of protesters has had a huge effect on thousands of jobs and businesses.

Oh.. just ask the Ottawa police why they didn't clear them out. They said repeatedly they are concerned some of these occupiers could potentially be violent. That's why they haven't tried to remove them or done much. Where have you been hiding?

The police still haven't done anything to remove the occupiers in Ottawa. They have become more entrenched and more determined. We will see how they react when they are removed by force in the coming days or weeks. I wouldn't count on all of them being peaceful. There may be a few seriously bad characters among them who are willing to burn down the house so to speak. Some have said they are willing to die for the cause. We also don't know how the blockaders in southern Alberta will react when they are removed by force. They are a different kind of crowd than the Ambassador bridge crowd which were mainly city folks from the Windsor area. The Alberta crowd include as lot of red neck radicals kind of like Trumpsters from the deep south.
