I noticed on one of the youtube live feeds that more than a few of the Semi Tractors were minus the FMCSA issued USDOT numbers on their doors as are required for all vehicles crossing into the U.S. while operating "in commerce".

While towing my large personal use fifth wheel RV using a class 7 International semi truck, I was flagged more than once while crossing the border and required to report to secondary inspection to PROVE I was not operating "in commerce". It was rather rare back then for these trucks to be used as non-commercial "personal use" only toters. Their first question was "where are your mandatory numbers" then the party would begin in earnest.

One might be able to draw any number of conclusions as to why full commercial rigs, with no legal ability to cross the border in any case, are involved in a "requirement for border crossing" protest.

I remember your past post suggesting he would probably be eaten alive in the house during question period and it would appear he's insistent upon giving them all the required ammo by which to do that.

If nothing else, the next few months of political gamesmanship in Canada should be very interesting.

Re blocking of main border crossing at Emerson MB, posted on Reddit this morning:

They're still blockading with no ETA to when they'll stop. Commerical shipments are being diverted through Sprague, Boisevain and Gretna. Source: am a customs broker.
I’m glad there are alternatives.

I can see some movement of conservatives to the PPC, it really depends on who replaces O'Toole

That is just sick.

This is interesting.

You can't call another areas 911 from outside your 911 area. You could in theory call your 911 and say you know of an emergency outside your area, but those 911 operators don't work for telephone companies but for
companies like

https://www.ecomm911.ca/about-e-comm/

In other words IF a 911 operator in Boston was asked to be connected to the emergency line of the Ottawa Police...there would be some questions, but more importantly, that 911 operator wouldn't know the emergency number for the Ottawa police.

It used to be that before 911, emergency services did list their emergency numbers, but after 911 came into effect that slowly faded off. I just checked a couple of places, including Ottawa, and they only list non-emergency numbers and 911 for emergencies. Flooding non-emergency lines is pointless and would have no effect on 911.

So I can't see how someone outside of the area, let alone the country could call 911 and get Ottawa.

UNLESS, those calls came from US cell phone numbers, and those phones are in Ottawa, since cell phones using GPS will connect you to the 911 that your phone is physically in.

I'd be curious as to how and what the police know about these calls.

Good catch.

This was reported earlier this week: https://www.cbc.ca/news/canada/swatt...tawa-1.6343819

Quote:
A 20 year-old man from Akron, Ohio, is facing potential swatting-related charges after calling in a bomb threat to police in the wrong Ottawa.

The individual — whose name has not yet been released — only realized he reached police in the wrong Ottawa on Monday after calling a second time to claim he had been shot, according to Ohio's Putnam County Sheriff's Office Captain Brad Brubaker.

"As soon as the dispatcher advised him he called Ohio … he said, 'Wait, wait, I'm not shot,'" Brubaker told CBC News.

Not very bright.

He obviously called a non-emergency number, since the Ottawa police in Ohio, also don't list an emergency number, except for 911, which he can't call from Akron.

Really want to know how the police in our Ottawa know that US calls came into our Ottawa's 911.

Yup. And it was the protest that caused him to expose himself.

Although I would have preferred the protest had not happened, the one thing about it that I'm glad of for it happening is that it has suddenly caused the exposure of so many of Canada's weaknesses that nobody has been giving thought to prior to the protest.

Social, political, governance, policing, military, health care, media, emergency procedures, cultural apathy, social and financial manipulation and corruption, violent minded traitors and anarchists within our own ranks who want to overthrow the country and are using and teaching their own children to be shields for the adults, all the border crossings that are chinks in the armour of an unguarded border, dependency of trade with other countries, the financial and political interference and social media interference from international foreigners in what should have been Canada's business alone, Canadians and government being far too trusting and laissez-faire, just letting insurrectionists with ulterior motives manipulate citizens and roll right on in and terrorize and take cities and bridges hostage with so much ease - I could go on with more but the point is all of these weaknesses and many, many more Canadian weaknesses and lack of preparedness have suddenly been exposed to all Canadians and the rest of the world all at once in just the past 2 weeks.

What's good about it is that it's only been a domestic insurrection that has caused the exposures and brought to light all these weaknesses that need to be addressed. It could have been a lot worse if there had never been a domestic insurrection and the many weaknesses had been ignored and allowed to slide, continuing to be not taken into consideration, and then foreign enemies with more power and influence and more violent blood in their eyes had taken advantage of and moved in on the weaknesses that Canada has been ignoring.

I hope it's all being a huge eye-opener and wake-up call to all Canadians and that everyone is learning a valuable lesson from all of these exposures of Canada's weaknesses that are happening.
