The vast majority of the Canadian trucking industry is vaccinated with the overall industry vaccination rate among truck drivers closely mirroring that of the general public. Accordingly, most of our nation’s hard-working truck drivers are continuing to move cross-border and domestic freight to ensure our economy continues to function.
Former President Trump, Donald Trump Jr., and Ivanka Trump have 21 days from the date of Thursday’s Feb 17/22 order to sit for a deposition, according to Engoron’s ruling. Donald Trump was also ordered to comply with the AG’s subpoena requesting documents and information within 14 days.
My Pillow’s Mike Lindell barred from entering Canada to support convoy protestors
Source: National Post Feb 16/22
Lindell, as well as a truck full of 10,000 pillows destined for protesters, were denied entry into Canada Tuesday evening
A senior government source said that Lindell, as well an accompanying videographer, were intercepted at the Port Huron-Sarnia border crossing on Tuesday evening as they were enroute for Ottawa to distribute “pillows and Bibles” to convoy protestors.
On the same day, a My Pillow truck carrying “over 10,000 pillows,” including 1,000 “Bible pillows” destined for the truckers’ children was also intercepted trying to cross the border through the Ambassador Bridge leading to Windsor, ON.
According to the senior government source, Lindell was turned back because he was not fully vaccinated and did not have a negative PCR test in hand.
The source said that truck was also denied entry into Canada because the U.S. trucker did not have a valid pre-arrival PCR test.
It is rumoured 2 personally embroidered pillows were to be hand delivered to Conservative Members of Parliaments with first names Pierre and Candice. Big disappointment as My Pillow Guy’s freedom was stopped dead in his tracks at the border.
Outrageous simply outrageous.This is not who we are!
In a strident move to prove to the Freedom Convoy occupiers that their protests are being accepted in good faith, the Ottawa Police Service has opened the doors wide to facilitate parking of 3 rigs and a hot tub in the House of Commons.When asked why only three rigs, someone in the back thought to be Pat King, said it is a symbolic number for his chapter of the Aryan Brotherhood however it can be changed to increase the truck numbers, as appeasement negotiations by the authorities continue with the rabble and the gradual replacement of the rule of law gains traction by pumping Nouveau-freedoms and entitlements for individual actions into the thinning democratic blood stream of the Great Dominion, Whew!(Court Painter cannot afford an editor)
Rumour that the Trudeau government was moving the capitol from Ottawa to Kiev was denied by officials. Instead the government is invoking the Emergencies Act to do something about some loose ends.
It is unclear whether the rigs will now be removed from the House of Commons by the RCMP because the Ottawa Police Service certainly won’t.
In a unpredictable development, an upsurge in exports of the Freedom TruckersConvoy model is trending worldwide . The Canadian export of this brand is catching on internationally. Observers are commenting that they didn’t think Canadians had it in them to have such a home grown bunch of disruptive unapologetic bullies capable of attracting like minded far right tacticians around the globe.
Another successful Canadian export product that was deemed a terrorist organization and outlawed by the Great Dominion: The Proud Boys is doing extremely well on the international far right stage of their own hateful volition with style conscious macho threads.
Many are surprised by this market appeal, more than a few are not.

First Canada, next the world It’s not every day that Canada becomes the red-hot center of a global protest movement.
But what started as a rally of Canadian truckers angry at cross-border vaccine mandates has fast become a magnet for far-right grievances around the world.
Similar “convoys” are now being organized across the U.S.
Since early February, similar protests have also sprouted up across Europe — often using encrypted Telegram channels and country-specific hashtags under which supporters can rally.
Far-right groups have taken advantage of the Covid-19 pandemic to tap into the anti-government rhetoric of the anti-vaccine movement, repeatedly posting claims in these social media channels in favor of their extremist beliefs, based on POLITICO’s analysis of six months of social media activity.
Upcoming convoys are being planned in all 27 European Union countries. Organizers are also preparing to descend on Brussels — home to the EU’s main institutions — in force on Feb. 14.
UPDATE: On April 25, 2022, the Government of Canada established the Public Order Emergency Commission to inquire into the circumstances that led to the declaration of emergency that was in place from February 14-23, 2022, and the measures taken for dealing with the emergency. Justice Paul Rouleau was appointed Commissioner.
The inquiry is now underway.

Who can citizens depend on when the Police Chief, Mayor, Premier and Prime Minister are blinded by the headlights of the bully’s truck?

Surely his applied knowledge of intolerance and bully tactics, crown him most likely to play the role of the Pied Piper and play the right tune to lead the Honkers out of town. Meanwhile the nobody is above the law gang pass the hot potato of responsibility from paw to paw!
Breaking.. just in …the nobody is above the law authorities just found the rule book and a spine and Ottawa Police are reportedly dismantling Convoy protestors logistics camp on Coventry Road.

Candice Bergen Interim Conservative Leader sporting a Make America Great Again hat
OTTAWA — Interim Conservative Leader Candice Bergen pushed predecessor Erin O’Toole to show support for the Freedom Convoy protest, arguing last week there are “good people on both sides,” an echo of the phrase made infamous by former U.S. president Donald Trump after a Unite the Right rally in Charlottesville, Va., in 2017.
Bergen also told O’Toole and other members of the Conservative shadow cabinet that there were “reasonable people” at the truckers’ protest, just as there were in the violent attack on the U.S. Capitol on January 6, 2021.
In an email Bergen sent Monday, obtained by CTV News, she told other MPs “I don’t think we should be asking them to go home” and proposed that the party “turn this into the PM’s problem.”
She also shared pictures of herself visiting on the Hill with protesters from her home province of Manitoba, tweeting that, “They deserve to be heard and they deserve respect.”
Trump’s phrase – “very fine people on both sides” – drew heavy criticism when he used it to characterize the Charlottesville protest, where white supremacists marched with torches and Nazi and Confederate flags, chanting anti-Semitic slurs. One counter-protester was killed at Charlottesville.
