CBC News is reporting tonight that truckers are leaving Coutts by tomorrow because their protest has been taken over by political extremists. It showed truckers shaking hands with police as they’re preparing to leave. (No link to share, live news on my TV a few moments ago.)

^This sounds like what will happen. Some tow truck companies refused to tow the vehicles when asked. They can now be ordered to remove any protesters vehicles.
Order them how? You have no problem with this?

Okay, soy republic? How about just dictatorship because the little twit refuses to accept that people don’t agree with him? COVID is over people. The last variant was as mild as a common cold for most people, and people who were vaccinated were catching and spreading it.

Ew. Taste is subjective I guess. I’ve always thought he looked too feminine.

Lots of ways to do it.
Canada doesn't have a 2nd amendment.

People there have to trust the government to be nice and treat them fairly.

If the government in Canada decides not to, there isn't much the Canadian people can do about it.

The ONLY way Freedom Convoy will succeed is when the police and the military will either side with it in reasonable majority or, refuse to act against it, again, in reasonable majority. Otherwise, protesters will be simply crushed. Even if they do so, there is a neighbor down south that cna easily extend helpful hand to Mr Trudeau.

Until THE FORCE sides with protesters, it is all in vane and destined to lose. Be crushed, end in jail and so on.
