I wonder if any of these geniuses have figured out that a War on Truckers and those that line the roads cheering for them has a built in heavy problem. How does PM Justin plan on supplying Canada after he shuts down all the Truck Supply chains?



Very easy and this was done before.
Military truck drivers. All it takes is to announce state of emergency, confiscate trucks - or, use military equipment - and move cargo. It's been done in GB before.
You didn't really expect anything major to come out of this, did you? As far as THE POWER has the BIG MACE, all those protests are a joke and stupidity.

Even if they made promises and it all dissolved, they'd have picked up them after, one by one, on insurrection or other charges. Very easy.
And, ask yourself this. What does majority of the vaccinated Canada think of those truckers? That they are nothing but disease spreading scum and should be dealt with with prejudice by the law.

Until police, military, national guards and MAJORITY of population join the movement - it is just fools gold. And, even then, any PM of any country can request help from his allies and have THEIR military take care of the problem.
It's all been done.
I just feel sorry for truckers and their families. They accomplished nothing and brought heluva problem into their lives.

They were whipped into a frenzy by those few leaders who were non-truckers and previously known for their white supremacist activities by the RCMP. AND who are now being sued by Ottawa citizens to the tune of millions of dollars.

All sorts of legal reasons exist for the freezing/cancelling of any funds coming to them as their activities are illegal.

As for that other poster's idiotic statement Trudeau has suspended the Charter of Rights and Freedoms:

He was actually expressing the same viewpoint his father had towards inclusion of that "notwithstanding clause" being demanded by the Provinces was a method by which THEY could abrogate it.

Uh, I believe when people donated to the GoFundMe they meant for the money to go straight to the Convoy, not the charities of their choice. How does this not break the initial agreement between the person that donated and the group receiving the donations, also known as theft and fraud?
Link seems to have been updated to show Gofundme is refunding all donations.

The fact remains that they thought it would be ok to just steal the money and re-direct it to their favorite causes. You don't gain respect for doing the right thing only after you are caught doing the wrong thing.

Go Fund Me requires agreement to its TOS as a condition of use.

In any event, Go Fund Me has refunded all donations related to Freedom Caucus.

Agreed. It took push back for Go Fund Me to refund all donors.
