Now a bunch of far right extremists appear trying to overthrow the will of the nation by intimidation and occupation of the Capital city. Unfortunately the use of Arm forces may become necessary as a last resort. How can blocking a few roads be a means of overthrowing a government ? they may be a pain in the ass, but really have they been violent, have they made a move towards occupying the parliament...OKA did not work out well for the military, it's diminished reputation meant hardships like budget cuts, man power cuts and most Canadians developed a dislike for DND...to the point we were not allow to wear our uniforms out in public... and for a people who already don't like the military how do you see this working out... This is not like OKA they have not killed a police officer, that and i don't think your ready for a OKA event in down town Ottawa lots of Helo's flying at tree top level dropping smoke and bangers while armed soldiers with live rounds assaulting dug in positions with armoured vehs including LAVS , and TANKS, lets not forget the massive M109 arty guns parked in the back ground ready to be used if nessicary as a show of force...had one shot been fired that day, , it would have turned out to be one of Canada's darkest days...it would have been a a disaster, with mass causalities, that included men, women and small children.. Sorry the last thing our soldiers want to do is harm or kill Canadians, If your police can not do it, they will eventual have to get tougher or wait it out... force is not the only option here. 1 1 Quote We, the willing, led by the unknowing, are doing the impossible for the ungrateful.

These people are taking advantage of the pacifist attitude of the police chief and mayor of Ottawa. They are walking all over the people of Ottawa. They should be removed by force; whatever it takes. Don't play the game of who is going to back down first. That is foolishness and weak. This is a huge disruption to people who want to go to work and do their business in Ottawa. This is not like Oka which was not in a city and not blocking a vital border crossing. Oka dragged on and on because there was nothing critical being shut down. This is totally different and needs immediate action. Quote
Zeitgeist Posted February 2, 2022 Report Posted February 2, 2022 5 minutes ago, blackbird said: The Conservative caucus has ousted O'Toole by a 61% vote. This could be partly because of his support of the trucker's convoy. He was a disaster. He likely alienated most Canadians. The problem is his replacement will probably also oppose the health measures and support the fringe anti-vax truckers. Most Canadians are not supporters of anti-vaxxers or anti-health measures. This will not help the Conservatives in the next election. The whole Conservative disaster is helping Trudeau and Liberals. You’re ridiculous. O’Toole is out because he’s positioned himself as a Liberal in all but name on carbon taxes and government overreach. There’s no Conservative Party under O’Toole. Quote

Yes, O'Toole was a liberal in Conservative clothing. and his support of carbon taxes was a big issue. But he should have kept out of the trucker's convoy issue. Canadians are divided on that. He jumped into it unwisely which just alienated a lot of Canadians. Funny the protesters wanted to get rid of Trudeau, but O'Toole is the one who is gone. The so-called "freedom convoy" was really a protest against everything under the sun. There were many different factions to it. And O'Toole changed his tune on it in a matter of minutes. He was confused and untrustworthy. Edited February 2, 2022 by blackbird Quote

The center of the world is Ottawa, thats everyone target for protests...you would think they would know that by now... We had railway blockades in BC as well. They were treated with much more respect and patience by the leaders and politicians than the freedom convoy is. That illustrates how unevenly freedom is applied in our nation. 3 Quote

They are breaking the law and the small unarmed police force appear to be unable to enforce the law or stand up against the possible very angry protesters (police intelligence is indicating a few may be even armed), and the people of Ottawa are paying the heavy price for it not to mention businesses in Ottawa are closed and people out of jobs as a result. So I said Army may have to be called in as a last resort not to kill anyone but remove the very heavy trucks which are blocking downtown roads and harassing the residents.

Nationalist Posted February 2, 2022 Report Posted February 2, 2022 The Last Straw: This morning I woke up eager to return to the gym. When I got there, I had to show a Qcode (or whatever the hell those boxes are called) to prove I'd taken 2 vaccine jabs. That was the straw that broke the camel's back, for me. Insignificant, I know. But I'm at the point where I can't do this anymore. I'm actually afraid I'm going to bury the first snot who makes some stupid comment about my mask or something to me. So, since I have a couple days free right now, I'm gonna partake in all of the canadian-allowed vices, in order to try to bring myself back to the ground. @DougFord - I had hoped you be more like your brother. I had hoped you'd have the same resolve. You do not. I can no longer cast any ballots in your favour. @Pixie-DustTrudeau - You are a disgrace.! @ MaxBernier - For as long as I remain in Canada, I will cast ballots for your new political party. Please show the 2 men mentioned above, and the millions in Canada who have lost their selves in a fear-soaked panic, what a real Canadian is, and how a real Canadian leads. 1 Quote Its so lonely in m'saddle since m'horse died.

Police cars are not able to move heavy trucks. Armored vehicles only owned by army can. Basically what you are suggesting is that if a group of strong angry mob takes over a place (a bank, a town, a city, government), then they should be allowed to get away with it and let them win or do what they want including breaking the law in order to avoid possible bloodshed? So guys if you wish to rob the central bank then do it in huge numbers with large trucks and law enforcement will not intervene fearing bloodshed, right? Not a good analogy but basically that is what you are saying. But at least you agree these people are endangering the public. Edited February 2, 2022 by CITIZEN_2015 1 Quote

What is sad is the fact that the truckers are fighting for Aristotle's rights and freedoms also. Aristotle just cannot seem to get that thru that thick scull of his. We need less of his kind who have nothing to offer but contempt for people who bloody well give a shit. All those truckers are starting to lose their lively hoods in order to try and make CANADA GREAT AGAIN. Anti-truckers like that wannabee Aristotle disgusts me and will never understand as to what freedom and rights are all about. They seem to enjoy this new normal life of having to wear masks and getting vaccinated forever if need be. These fools should go and live in China or North Korea for a year. They will be happy as hell to get their leftist liberal asses on a plane and fly back to Canada tout suite. This country is on the verge of losing all of our rights and freedoms to the likes of people like Aristotle who appears to only be concerned about himself and screw all others. ? 1 Quote
