Truckistan Forces Have Seized Additional Border Crossings from Trudeau Regime

Under Truck Law, no cargo-carrying vehicles may enter Truck-controlled territory, however, passenger motorists will be allowed peaceful crossing.

Protesters began blocking traffic entering Canada across the Ambassador Bridge linking Windsor, Ont., to Detroit as the Monday evening rush began. The Ambassador Bridge is one of the busiest international land border crossings in Canada and a major route for transport trucks. On the Ambassador Bridge, protesters told CBC News one lane of traffic has been left open for motorists to use to cross into Canada.

The regime has retreated and and is desperately trying to hold its remaining border points.

The Canada Border Services Agency (CBSA) told motorists Monday afternoon to cross into Detroit from Windsor using the tunnel, which was not blocked. The agency said commercial trucks should reroute to Sarnia's Bluewater Bridge.

More than US$5 MM has been raised to support Truckistan on GiveSendGo - https://givesendgo.com/FreedomConvoy2022 - on top of US$1 MM already transferred to Truckistan via GoFundMe (before GoFundMe closed its account) and an additional ~$1MM in several independent legal defense funds.

----------[size=150]You should be asking, why are the Ottawa police taking the truckers supply of fuel...Fuel is not illegal...They are trying to starve and freeze the truckers out!!!....Because it is freezing right now in Ottawa....Not like a pathetic Summer time protest in America ...

-------------Truckers are also blocking the border between Montana and Alberta...
-----------------Instead of going to Washington D.C....American truckers should go and block the U.S. / Mexican border...Stop the invasion...and with no trucks moving goods...It would put double pressure on The Biden administration...To do something about the Southern Border and Vaccine mandates...

clever enough to know that semi's run on diesel, not gasoline...

GREAT!

Graham said retailers are beginning to see gaps on shelves, in particular perishable items that grocery stores expect to be delivered daily to keep things as fresh as possible, traveling significant distances from southern United States.

He said the blockade of the border crossing at Coutts won't have an impact only on Alberta retailers but will ripple out across other Prairie provinces as well. Graham said it was too early to put a dollar figure on the impact.

Manufacturers are also worried about the effect of a prolonged interruption at the border.

David MacLean, Alberta vice-president for Canadian Manufacturers and Exporters, said the organization is "gravely concerned" about the impact of the blockade.

He said he spoke Wednesday morning with members of the organization who said they've got shipments stranded on the U.S. side of the border, including important equipment they need for their manufacturing processes.

"If you imagine $20,000 to $40,000 — even just on the back of a napkin — it easily adds up to tens of millions of dollars a day in product, and consumers are going to start to feel the impact," he said.

"We're going to see increasing shortages of certain items in the next coming days."

[saxitoxin]

Any shortages will be squarely the fault of Trudeau. Trudeau can end this anytime he wants by simply repealing the mandate, resigning, and nominating Donald Trump as Governor General. Every day he doesn't do those three simple things is one day longer this has to continue.

You failed llama; you were not clever enough to answer this matter:

ConfSS said

Also gas can run generators...As some are with their families...Try again Llama...you are not even trying to be clever...You are better than that

I will assume ConfSS knows that those semi trucks run on diesel fuel. Are you aware that some small generators run on gasoline, llama?

ConfSS, I am not sure llama is "better than that". He needs to constantly state that he is the greatest, so why would he be ONLY BETTER?

And why is llama constantly reminding us that he is the greatest? Is his ego that fragile? Did he not get enough positive feedback when he was a child? I do not recall what makes him the greatest. Is he the greatest at eating or growing turnips? Or is he attempting to become the greatest troll on CC? Or will he settle on being the greatest joyless one on CC?

llama constantly offers what he thinks are insightful and/or cute comments when, instead, they are only shallow and silly pokes by a troll. They are only intended to provoke someone and offers no real analysis, insight, or thought. They are certainly not perspicacious. They fail to advance the conversation and are merely intended to annoy others who post, imo. His above statement, that I quoted, clearly and cogently illustrates my point. I think I will return to sipping my Cognac, cogitating important matters, and ignoring him.

Tbf, it's the best thing to get tree sap off your hands. The trees should be running soon.

UPDATE:

- Ottawa tow truck drivers refuse to tow Truckistan vehicles
- Closure of Inner North American border at Ambassador Bridge continues with Trudeau seemingly powerless to stop it
- Joel Lightbound, the parliamentary secretary to the Minister for Public Safety, has defected to Truckistan and denounced Trudeau's COVID-19 policies
- Even Biden can read the room -- Psaki today says the U.S. supports the right of free speech in Canada ... every time the U.S. says they support the right of free speech in another country, cruise missiles and paratroopers usually follow

It's day whatever of the protest and Trudeau still has not resigned and nominated Donald Trump, Jr. as Governor General. Every day he delays doing what is demanded of him is a further day this drags on.

[DirtyDishSoap]

You could just nominate me. Don't know why you guys insist on getting these subpar nerds into office.

[saxitoxin]

UPDATE: The regime's only tactic so far was to seize the trucker's fuel. There are now reports an Ontario judge has ordered all fuel returned and the fuel seizures to stop.

Trudeau is out of options. He can't even exert authority in his own capital city.

[HitRed]

Thou shall not steal.

[jusplay4fun]

I heard of the threat to cut off cell phone access for the truckers in the area of protest near the Govt. Buildings.

There is also the threat of arrests of some of the truckers.

Wait and see.......

Or, out of other options, Justin Trudeau will move into saxi's basement; that may be a fate worse than death, for both.

The blockade of the Ambassador Bridge is now reported to be strangling 1/4 of Canadian economic output every 24 hours. [https://www.cbc.ca/news/business/windsor-bridge-blockade-1.6344714] Meanwhile, blockades are being established at other border crossings to the U.S. to prevent cargo traffic from diverting and to help hasten the collapse of the regime's economy. [https://www.cbc.ca/news/canada/london/truck-protests-blocking-highway-402-border-1.6344768] Finally, a trucker convoy is set to get underway in California on March 10 with the goal of reaching D.C. to unseat the Biden regime by end of the month.

I was just streaming the press conference with the Mayor of Windsor. Here are the highlights I got ...

Q: Why don't you arrest the truckers?
A: The police don't have the weapons or resources. "Members of this movement have indicated that this cause is so passionate for them that they are willing to die for it." "Not every person on the ground is a rational actor." "A police response that escalates the situation will be evaluated negatively at the end of the day because of what we think will occur."

Q: Why don't you tow the trucks?
A: All tow companies under contract with the city have declined to tow the vehicles. We have contacted other tow companies throughout Ontario and Quebec and can't find any willing to tow the trucks.

Q: Why are police participating in stopping traffic across the bridge?
A: Truckers have authorized one southbound lane to remain open provided it is limited to emergency vehicle access. Police are enforcing this blockade by limiting the one remaining lane to emergency vehicles to comply with the trucker's rules for use of the bridge and ensure they don't have cause to shut that lane.

This video of the blockade at the Sarnia crossing is amazing! There must be 100 heavy duty tractors -

Trudeau's refusal to resign is now costing people their jobs. Disgraceful.

Several automotive assembly plants have reduced production and sent workers home due to ongoing blockades by protesters at the Ambassador Bridge that connects Windsor, Ont., with the United States. Ford Motor Company reduced production at its Oakville Assembly Plant by 50 per cent on Tuesday as suppliers faced hours-long delays transporting auto parts across the border, according to the plant’s union.

Mark Sciberras, president of Unifor Local 707, says workers at the assembly plant were told their shifts would be reduced from eight to four hours per day due to the supply shortage. Most manufacturers function under a just-in-time delivery model that leaves enough parts only for a day or two before production is affected, said Volpe.

Please post again so that we can read the Bottom Line TRUTH and not the usual obfuscation that you normally present and post.

I thought we would have heard more from Duk on the matter of the Canadian Trucker protests.

[Dukasaur]

I thought we would have heard more from Duk on the matter of the Canadian Trucker protests.

I've been pretty busy working and not participating in much debate lately.

The trucker protest is on my mind a lot. I am torn. I agree with their core message, but disagree with a lot of the other messages that they bring along.

The core message is that we should not force people to vaccinate themselves. I totally agree with this. I think anti-vaxxers are idiots, but I completely support their right to be idiots. I think health care is ultimately a purely personal decision, and although I can think of some exceptions (like forced quarantine of people who are in a demonstrably contagious state) in general I think you need to have the right to make your own decisions of what to do with your body, for better or for worse. To this degree I completely agree with the truckers.

A lot of the other stuff I disagree with. A big part of the message is a simple "f*ck Trudeau!" and assigning him blame for everything that has gone wrong with the world. Now, I'm not a fan of Trudeau, never have been, never will be, but fair is fair. Most of the stuff being laid at his door is not his fault. With regards to the lockdowns, those very specifically are not his doing and yet he is taking all the heat for them. Since the beginning, Trudeau has scrupulously respected the power of the provinces to make their own policy in that regard, and has not brought the heavy hand of the federal government into it. All the provinces have had different lockdown rules and the federal government has not tried to influence them, even where it disagreed. Yet the protesters are blaming him for every lockdown, everywhere, and though I do not like the man, my sense of fair play is on his side.

A lot of it is general right-wing themes being mixed in to the overall message, which I disagree with. And yet, on the core message they're right. So it's very hard for me to either endorse or criticize.

I have friends on both sides, so I try not to say too much. Including co-workers. Two of my drivers were in Ottawa last weekend at the protest. They were back to work on Monday, but my yard foreman took them off the schedule. She wanted me to fire them. I had to patiently explain that we can't fire people for their political views. She hasn't given up, and has harangued me on the subject regularly. I have to walk a fine line. My yard foreman is the best in the business and I can't afford to lose her, but being a woman she's quick to take offense, so I stick to my guns but softly and patiently.

It's the same in every other aspect of my life. Friends, friends of friends, relatives, on both sides. 35% of Canadians support the truckers, so it's hard not to know someone who does. It's also hard not to know someone who hates them. Someone like myself who sees both sides has to be very careful not to say too much.

[jusplay4fun]

Fair enough, Duk. I am glad you see both sides.

[2dimes]

It is a bit strange but it's absolutely impossible to explain this to so many people out here.

A big part of the message is a simple "f*ck Trudeau!" and assigning him blame for everything that has gone wrong with the world. Now, I'm not a fan of Trudeau, never have been, never will be, but fair is fair. Most of the stuff being laid at his door is not his fault.

Seems pretty basic but they will typically get emotional and just fail to hear anything of the sort.

Obviously, the guy is a whiney bugger and he will never do my Provence any flavours without a hidden agenda, but get a grip people. You're not going to make him step down by honking air horns.
