Canada Truckers Arrested, Others Warned as Police Act Against Protests

A series of arrests were made late Tuesday against members of the trucker-led Freedom Convoy in Canada as the capital Ottawa remained in a state of emergency.

Police have made 23 arrests out of thousands of protesters so far across the country, with some 80 criminal investigations underway in relation to the demonstrations, the Daily Express reports.

Ottawa Deputy Police Chief Steve Bell said: “Our message to the demonstrators remains the same: Don’t come. If you do, there will be consequences.”

Protesters block section of Highway 402 heading to Sarnia, Ont., bridge crossing to U.S. – Queen’s Park Circle shut down by TPS

Two major southwestern Ontario bridges that are key trade arteries to the U.S. are now tied up due to protests against pandemic mandates.

On Wednesday morning, a section of Highway 402 that leads to Sarnia’s Bluewater Bridge crossing was closed, Ontario Provincial Police reported.


Toronto police close Queen’s Park Circle in response to possible convoy protest

Toronto police are closing a roadway near Queen’s Park Wednesday because of social media posts “announcing a possible demonstration” in the city.

The closures come a few days after a large protest against public health measures meant to curb the spread of COVID-19 took place in the downtown core.

U.S. trucker convoy to Washington gathers steam

Canada’s truckers have paralyzed Ottawa and unsettled the country’s politics over vaccine and mask mandates. Now Americans want in on the action.

A nationwide convoy — starting in California before heading toward Washington, D.C. — is expected to get underway on March 4 amid a growing clamor from those who believe their freedoms are under threat from government Covid-19 restrictions.

The protest convoy could cast a long shadow in Canadian politics

The key lesson of Ottawa’s siege might be that it’s difficult to get populist, anti-democratic anger to leave once you’ve invited it in and allowed it to get comfortable.

It may have been inevitable (or at least foreseeable) that some kind of tumult would result from the imposition of vaccine mandates. In 1885, compulsory vaccination in Montreal to deal with a smallpox outbreak caused a riot. In 1919, loud public opposition scuttled an attempt to implement compulsory vaccination against smallpox in Toronto.

2) Our political class are cowards

Large number of children among protesters hampering response, police say

Ottawa police say almost 25 per cent of the 418 trucks still involved in the ongoing demonstration downtown have children in them, which has hampered the force’s response and led to concerns about the children’s safety.

Police provided an update Tuesday afternoon where Deputy Chief Steve Bell said officers have issued more tickets, made more arrests, and launched dozens more criminal investigations during what they call an “occupation” of the downtown core, now in its 12th day.

Canadians less trusting of governments, politicians as pandemic drags on: Poll

OTTAWA — There is a noticeable decline in how trusting Canadians are of their leaders and institutions as the pandemic drags on, and it’s particularly striking among those who remain anxious or stressed about COVID-19, a new survey suggests.

“When we have 46 per cent of Canadians saying they still feel anxiety and stress, it’s taking a toll on trust in Canada,” said Bruce MacLellan, CEO of Proof Strategies.

Ontario reports 66 more COVID-19 deaths, 2,059 hospitalizations

Ontario reported 66 more COVID-19 deaths and just over 2,000 hospitalizations on Wednesday- more than a week after the province loosened some public health measures.

Sixty-five of the deaths occurred in the past month and one was added to the province’s cumulative death total due to a data cleanup, according to the Ministry of Health.


The dominos begin to fall: Most Canadian pandemic strictures should be gone by spring

Within hours of one another on Tuesday, Saskatchewan, P.E.I. and Alberta announced an imminent end to pandemic strictures, marking the first dominos to fall in what is poised to be a nationwide lifting of COVID-19 mandates.


Transmissibility of Omicron led to much higher death totals than past wave, research shows

People infected with the Omicron variant of SARS-CoV-2 are less likely to die or experience severe outcomes compared with those infected with the Delta variant, emerging research shows.

However, the variant’s hypertransmissibility has led to daily death numbers that have eclipsed those of the previous wave, and a record number of hospitalizations, with Canada’s older population still at highest risk.

The Real Anthony Fauci: A Devastating Portrait of ‘America’s Doctor’

Dr. Anthony Fauci’s charismatic, benign persona hides a corrupt incompetence that views human life as irrelevant.

Fauci, perhaps more than any other federal official, is responsible for the United States having the world’s largest death toll from COVID-19. This despite lockdowns, social distancing, mask mandates and vaccine mandates.

Yet Fauci knew that none of those measures would work, as a new book reveals.

Bombshell Email Reveals Plan to Arrest Maskless Students in Loudoun County

School mask mandates have recently been lifted in New Jersey and in Delaware. Massachusetts is also considering lifting its mandate.

But in Loudoun County, Va., students who attempt to enter school maskless could face arrest. According to a leaked email, a security official for Loudoun County Public Schools coached principals on obtaining a warrant to arrest students who attempted to enter school maskless.

GoFundMe’s $10M shutdown of Canadian truckers shows it’s time to rein in Big Tech

When GoFundMe shut down funding Friday for the truckers’ Freedom Convoy, it didn’t just clobber Canadian rig drivers. It dealt a blow to the rights of Americans. Silicon Valley executives are trying to limit the causes Americans support, favoring leftist ones and canceling conservatives.

Canadian truckers launched a convoy to Ottawa last month, to protest Prime Minister Justin Trudeau’s vaccine mandate on all rig drivers. Never mind the absurdity of requiring a truck driver alone behind the wheel for 18 hours a day to be vaccinated.

Canadians ‘Deliberately Misled’ by Government, Media on Diversity of Truck Protest, Professor Says

Canadians are being deliberately misled by the Trudeau government and its “arms in the media” on the large diversity of supporters of the trucker convoy demonstration in Ottawa, an academic says.

Since the “Freedom Convoy” converged on Canada’s capital on Jan. 29 to protest federal vaccine mandates and other pandemic-related policies, supporters say the movement has drawn thousands of Canadians from many demographics and every province.

18 Fundraisers Aiding Riots, Crime, Abortion, And Genital Mutilation That GoFundMe Didn’t Shut Down

While GoFundMe races to confiscate millions of dollars from Canadians protesting the country’s coercive Covid response, the left-wing fundraising site has proven itself very willing to help raise funds for criminal riots, abortions, and genital mutilation.

“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,” GoFundMe wrote in the company’s Friday announcement that it would steal millions from the truckers participating in the “Freedom Convoy” to protest Canada’s Covid mandates, diverting the money “to credible and established charities chosen by the Freedom Convoy 2022 organizers and verified by GoFundMe.” After backlash, the platform announced it would instead refund the money to donors.

Hurricane Canada

Hurricane Canada, a category 5 political storm, has made landfall on the country’s capital city in the form of a massive truckers’ strike protesting illegal COVID mandates and vaccine passports, a phenomenon that has galvanized the attention of the world and inspired similar demonstrations internationally.

Why I took part in Ottawa’s Freedom Convoy

The media have consistently misrepresented our mission

Earlier this month, I was on an overpass across highway 417, 50km west of Ottawa, to welcome one of the many Freedom Convoys heading into the capital. They were coming to protest against mandated vaccines for truckers but also Justin Trudeau’s Covid Regime in general. It was -25 celcius but that didn’t stop us from waving Canadian Flags tied to hockey sticks and screaming at the top of our lungs as the convoy from Western Canada slowly rolled into the city.
