So now local police and enforcement can decide if a protest is legal or not.

https://www.msn.com/en-ca/news/newspoli ... li=AAggNb9

Also not children are not allowed at a protest that is illegal - (Or Not) - what happens when protesters are deemed to be illegal when they were just fine - and there are children there and some local yokel cop makes a decision?

This is raw intimidation!!!!!!

Notice that the Emergencies Act is not been voted on by the House and then the Senate - but all the powers have been applied. And it is good for 30 days unless extended - you know 30 days to flatten Canadians.

I wonder what will be left of our country by then.

So the intimidation from the Federal Government is infringing by intimidation on the rights of all Canadians to protest peacefully.

So Time for a different strategy folks!!


FREEDOM WEEK

Starts on Feb. 21, 2022 for 7 days. - Don't know if it might get extended but just like the Truckers Convoy, the people of Canada will have to get behind it.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=57qon3Ud5b0


https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=B445_b-1Als


Vote with your feet folks - a massive non-confidence vote against the current government in power. Down Tools - Stay home - don't shop at the big box stores, support your local stores - don't buy fuel unless you have to. Spend time with your children and teach them about democracy and what freedom means. Get a copy of the Charter of Rights and discuss it with your family. Cook hot dogs or whatever and invite your neighbors over with their children - get back to some normal activities. (All within the existing laws)

This will be hard for some people who want to step up and do the right thing. All Canadians need to stand together - support one another - so if someone need help to make it through the week step up and give them that support.


Your Choice - Stand Together or We All Fall.


Stay safe everyone.

May I humbly suggest you emphasize Section 24.

Remedies for those who have had their rights or freedoms infringed or denied.

Spend some time reading up on the Oakes Test for Section 1. That's where most challenges to covid mandates run into trouble.

This is about following the money. This is about stopping the financing of these illegal blockades. We are today serving notice: if your truck is being used in these protests, your corporate accounts will be frozen.
So, you're OK with the Trudeau foundation, associated with a sitting PM, getting a ton of funding from overseas. You are OK with Americans funding anti-oil groups whose work makes us a poorer country. You are OK with a marxist organization, which burns down our cities and instigates riots, being crowd sourced and getting foreign funding, but when money starts going to a cause with which you disagree, now you want Elliot Ness called in. You are not standing up for a principle here son; you are merely taking a side, and it is very much the wrong one.
It is so easy to see how pathetic your arguments are.

I am the most credible person here because I am vehemently opposed to all the items you mentioned AND the convoy attack on our economy.

I just happen to believe the rule of law applies across the board, unlike what appears to be the majority of Canadians.

You show your pathetic hypocrisy by supporting one sides crimes but not the other.

You have a lot to learn about principle.
Oh, you’re opposed to those things across the board? Didn’t see you saying anything at the time….

I don't know why the CPC and other right leaning political party's and politicians are supporting this movement? Are they also looking to endorse violence?

The Coutts 13: New details on the men and women arrested at border blockade
Thu, February 17, 2022, 6:00 a.m.


Previous criminal convictions, a willingness to die for the cause and connections to a violent insurrectionist movement.
New details about some of the men and women arrested in connection with the Coutts, Alta., border blockades on Monday.

Thirteen people were charged following incidents involving physical threats to RCMP officers' safety and raids on trailers near the protest area, which resulted in the seizure of a cache of weapons and body armour.

The on-and-off blockade of the normally busy border crossing by people opposed to COVID-19 health restrictions, lasted more than two weeks before protesters pulled out on Tuesday following the arrests.

Submitted by Alberta RCMP


An American-style militia movement

Of the four southern Alberta men accused of conspiring to murder RCMP officers, two have ties to a man who founded a neo-fascist, white supremacist group that aims to accomplish its goals through violence.

Chris Carbert, 44, of Lethbridge, Anthony Olienick, 39, of Claresholm, Jerry Morin, 40, of Olds and Christopher Lysak, 48, of Lethbridge each face charges of conspiracy to murder, a weapons offence and mischief over $5,000.

Carbert and Lysak both have ties to Jeremy MacKenzie, the Nova Scotia founder of Diagolon, a group described by University of New Brunswick professor David Hofmann as an American-style militia movement.

Last month, RCMP raided MacKenzie's home and seized several firearms after a video was posted to social media showing MacKenzie pointing a gun at a man's head.

'Gun or rope'

According to the search warrant application filed in support of that raid, RCMP reported MacKenzie twice referred to Diagolon in the video.

The goal of the group, says Hofmann who studies far right movements, is to establish a "diagonal" white nationalist state.

Those who believe in the Diagolon movement feel a civil war is needed to create a new state that would run diagonally from Alaska, through western Canada's provinces, all the way south to Florida.

"And they want to accomplish this through violence," says Hofmann. "Their motto quite simply states gun or rope."

Two Diagolon patches were found on body armour seized by police during the execution of the Coutts search warrants.

MacKenzie is currently in Ottawa and has posted at least one video in support of the arrested Coutts protesters in the last couple of days.

Willing to die for the cause

Several videos of MacKenzie's diatribes have been posted to Carbert's Facebook page.

In videos posted to his Facebook page, Carbert repeatedly said he was prepared to die in protest of government mandates.

"I won't live long, I've come to terms with this," he wrote in one post last October.

"I'll likely be dead soon and likely will be front page news."

"They can try to come for me and my family, but I guarantee it won't go as smooth as they hope. I will die fighting for what I believe is right and I mean this!"
Facebook/Reddit


Although there is a widely-spread conspiracy online among supporters of the Coutts protest that those arrested were outsiders, had just arrived in the area and were not part of the blockade group, a photo of a giant Canadian flag posted by Carbert's personal Facebook page on Feb. 5, shows the signatures of nine of those facing charges.

Carbert has prior convictions for assault, drug trafficking and two drunk driving convictions.

'This is war'

"This is war," said Morin, 40, in a video he titled "Call To Action" posted to his Facebook page.

The video was posted on Sunday, one day before Morin and his spouse Jaclyne Martin, 39, were arrested.

In the video, Morin and Martin — who faces charges of mischief and possession of a weapon — call on people to come to Coutts to participate in the blockade.

"Come on down tonight, there's no excuses, this is war," he says. "Your country needs more than ever now."

A trip to Ottawa

Ursula Allred, 22, Justin Martin, 22, Eastin Oler, 22 and Janz Zaremba, 18, all grew up within a 15 minute drive of each other in towns south of Lethbridge.

The four are co-workers, all employees at an outdoor lighting company in Calgary.

Allred, Martin and Oler live together as roommates in the southeast community of Copperfield.

On Feb. 3, Allred posted photos of herself with friends at the Ottawa protests holding anti-Trudeau signs.

All four have been released on bail and none have prior criminal charges.

'My god, please help us'

Joanne Person, 62, lives in Coutts within a few hundred meters of the border.

In fact, Person lives so close to the protest location, several of the protesters were storing personal items at her home, according to information detailed at her bail hearing Tuesday.

It was around 1 a.m. on Monday morning when she posted about RCMP officers coming to make their arrest.

"The full tactical is at my home they are [telling] us to leave the home and that they are entering," she wrote.

"My god. Please help us."

Prior criminal convictions


Luke Berk, 62, has previous convictions for assault and drunk driving.

His latest Facebook post is a prayer to Jesus.

"Your people are standing firm not just against mandates, not just against tyranny, not just against the loss of liberty and freedom, but against the evil that has swept across the land," he wrote.

Evan Colenutt, 23, has previous fish and wildlife-related convictions including for hunting off season.

Colenutt's eight co-accused, facing the same charges of mischief and possession of a weapon, were granted bail with the consent of the prosecutor, Steven Johnston.

Johnston did not say why he wasn't prepared to support Colenutt's release.

Johnson Chichow Law, 39, was convicted of assault with a weapon in 2002.

Over the years four other assault and weapons charges were withdrawn.

On Tuesday, RCMP said their investigation remains ongoing as they look into the extent to which those arrested are connected with broader insurrectionist groups across the province and country.

I suggest the convoy members go home now. Police in Ottawa are saying that they will be removed over the next few days and that we may see methods used that we are not used to seeing.

Anybody placing their child on such a situation should think of the potential consequences.

Go home. You made your point.

Musk not happy he won't profit from future illegal occupations by the locking out his big crypto plans.


Musk Compares Canada’s Trudeau to Hitler in Unhinged Trucker Crypto Freakout

The Tesla CEO is apparently upset that Canada doesn’t want anti-vaccine mandate truckers to use cryptocurrencies to fund their protests.

Elon Musk—the world’s wealthiest man and oldest teenage boy—is showing his ass on Twitter again.

In a tweet in the early hours of Thursday, Musk posted a meme that unfavorably compared Canada’s democratically elected prime minister Justin Trudeau to Adolf Hitler to make some deeply confused point about the anti-vaccine-mandate trucker protests and cryptocurrency.
Advertisement

Musk’s post, which showed the Nazi leader alongside the caption “Stop comparing me to Justin Trudeau. I had a budget,” was in reply to a report about Canada ordering financial firms to stop trading with crypto wallets that are funding chaotic vaccine protests in Ottawa.

Not only was Musk’s meme lazy, offensive, and attention-seeking, it was also completely wrong and out-of-date. Trudeau’s government passed a budget last summer, admittedly after two years of not doing so.

Musk was seemingly angered by an article from Coindesk that reported police in Canada had identified and frozen trading on 34 crypto wallets linked to the anti-vaccine trucker-led protests. Earlier this week, Trudeau became the first Canadian leader to invoke the nation’s Emergencies Act, giving him more powers to break up the trucker protests.

Musk, 50, previously said that he’s taken his COVID-19 vaccines, but has repeatedly railed against mandates, calling them an “erosion of freedom.” Earlier in the pandemic, he made another Nazi reference by complaining that lockdowns were “fascist” and “breaking people’s freedoms in ways that are horrible and wrong and not why they came to America.”

Just last month, the Tesla CEO voiced his backing for the trucker protests, writing in a tweet: “Canadian truckers rule.” He also posted a tweet making fun of people who compare anyone they disagree with to Hitler.

Isn't Elon making electric self driving semi trucks. The more the truckers keep this up the more the demand for Elon's semis will increase, which helps him.

He has invested deeply into crypto-bucks, which he needs to circumvent international trade laws...this is very bad for him as he was hoping the right wing rebellion boom would make him richer, albeit as a cheater.

Old news but showing the power of consensus among the majority of Canadians.

Deputy Prime Minister Chrystia Freeland said Thursday financial institutions have moved quickly to freeze the accounts of people linked to the demonstrations in Ottawa, leaving an unknown number of protesters in financial limbo.

Freeland vowed to take more accounts offline in the coming days in an attempt to starve the organizers of the funds they need to continue their occupation of the nation's capital.

Freeland, who is also the finance minister, said the RCMP and other law enforcement agencies have been gathering intelligence on convoy protesters and their supporters and sharing that information with financial institutions to restrict access to cash and cryptocurrency.

The law also allows banks to target for account closure donors to the GoFundMe and the GiveSendGo fundraising campaigns that fuelled this protest. Freeland said she wouldn't get into the "specifics of whose accounts are being frozen."

Regardless of what you think of the protesters, I hope we can all agree that freezing accounts because you are protesting in a nation's capital is a bit of a bridge too far?

I think it has something to do with more than protesting as no past protesters have had this happen.

Just go home and back to work.

Why? Every day we move closer to moving to countries I’ve visited.

Or donating 100 bucks to such protestors. I hope none of you did that. Your accounts can be frozen and seized.

Not hard to see have your accounts frozen in the future, for donations to opposition political parties. Listen to what one of the officials said about right wing voters— they will be targeting such people.


Or to churches, or right wing newspapers, or charities who won’t sign a statement attesting to Liberal values.

Or comments on Twitter. Comments critical of the government will be called sedition.

That is how it works in many countries. You get a knock on the door. Not kidding.

When 2 weeks ago, I mentioned Martial law here, everyone laughed.

Are you still laughing?

Sleep well.

The protestors? Arrest them all for all I care.

Didn't need martial law to do that.

Once the criminals are arrested, we will see how many legitimate protesters are left. That will prove the move was justified.

So an incredibly incompetent, weak group of leaders does nothing for weeks as the protestors entrench. (Meaning the Liberals and Ottawa city council), get hammered with criticism, now go over the top to indict $100 donors and people bringing them coffee, all to show….how tough they are.

Ego. That’s what this is. Embarrassing a government is a really bad idea in many dark places.

Didn't ever expect to see this here.

How sad.

I feel bad for the police in all this
