Lots of luck with that plan.

Canadian Law requires 5 Days Uninterrupted Debate on Emergencies order. That is not going to happen before the deadline to submit The Order for a vote on Monday is reached.

So, what happens now? ?????

Meanwhile---Keep Calm and Carry On---right now in Ottawa. Getting LED on stage ready for the weekend:

The dog took a lot of flack.

He held his own.

Good point, dog.

Yes there’s more. It is interesting to see how people think about the truckers protest as opposed to the BLM ones.

Why do I see it as Fascism, considering it's being led by Fascists?

events, but maybe it is a spiral where we are making unnoticeable progress until one looks backward in time.

A Pinch of Salt and the One of the Largest Nonviolence Movements in India: The Salt March of 1930 Using these 3 factors, Gandhi abstains from anything that harms his opponent while continuing the work towards his goals and the future of India.

The Canadian Truckers at the moment have the attention of the world, in spite of the intense refocus of attention by stirring up conflict in Ukraine.

Feb 11, 2022 AP News

The Biden administration urged Prime Minister Justin Trudeau's government Thursday to use its federal powers to end the truck blockade by Canadians protesting the country’s COVID-19 restrictions, as the bumper-to-bumper demonstration forced auto plants on both sides of the border to shut down or scale back production.

Trudeau is following orders and preparing the Federal crackdown. It was the long term actions of individuals and groups afterwards who made the permanent changes possible in India.

Is it time to consider a day, week or month of self regeneration after the crackdown?

Still yourself, deep water can absorb many disturbances with minimal reaction.

As you well know, I'm not aligned with the truckers protest in Canada, but I absolutely positively oppose the government response. It's a draconian over-reaction, and it's sure to get used again for any and all protests that gain any traction.

As you can imagine the DKos' response to this government crackdown on public protests has been to High Five the government.

There’s going to come a day when people everywhere are going to say enough of the police brutality and fight back. There is no reason why cops have to be armed to the teeth to arrest peaceful unarmed people and put snipers on the roofs like what happened in Canada today. I don’t know what happens after that, but it’s not fair that people just have to take getting beat up. I saw one cop beating a man with the butt of his rifle and others kicking and kneeing others. And for gawd’s sake why throw old ladies on the ground? Absolutely appalling behavior.

From the comments:

"And how we burned in the camps later, thinking: What would things have been like if every Mountie, when he went up to a truck to make an arrest, had been uncertain whether he would come away alive? Or if, during periods of mass arrests, as for example in Ottawa, drivers had not simply sat there in their cabs, paling with terror at every bang of the window and pelt of the tactical cheese curd, but had understood they had nothing left to lose and had boldly roared their engines to life and set up an ambush of half a dozen trucks, burrito vans, snow plows, tractors or whatever else was at hand? After all, you knew ahead of time that those cops were out at night for no good purpose. And you could be sure ahead of time that your tires would be crushing the skull of a cutthroat. The RCMP would very quickly have suffered a shortage of officers and transport and, notwithstanding all of Trudeau’s thirst, the cursed machine would have ground to a halt!"

- Alexander Truckhenitsyn

America has already shown that it will not tolerate certain types of protests. There is no reason for Trump supporters to be held in solidarity confinement for over a year for what they did at the capital. But it’s sure sending a message to others thinking of taking on the government and of course that’s the point. Many have lost their jobs and homes because they couldn’t work and how many innocent families have also suffered because of that? It’s cruel beyond measure, but as gjohnsit shows it’s what the shitlibs want to happen. And after their year of confinement they want long prison sentences and people to be charged with sedition and treason even though none have been.
