Horrible timing for Trudeau - he's having a showdown with the anti-mandate forces at the precise moment that many are thinking that the acute phase of the pandemic may be over. Pulling back will look like a capitulation. But them be the breaks.

Don't get your blood pressure up. At your age it's not good for you.

BC is going about this prudently unlike Alberta and Saskatchewan that are proceeding in their usual reckless fashion to appease their rural base.
BC has managed the pandemic quite well throughout. I do not think it causes any timing issues for Trudeau’s government. In any case Horgan has publically stated that he fully supports the Emergency Act and will stand behind its enforcement in BC should the need arise.

The whole thing is one of the stupidest fucking things that I have ever seen. At this point, the vaccine does jack shit against spread without the booster and the booster IS NOT IN THE REQUIREMENT. Plus, at this point Omicron is running out of fuel. The Canadian and US governments got by just fine waiving this requirement for a year now, and now they are going to make a point of it NOW? Stupid.
Plus, the Canadian Government has mismanaged this horribly. Every step they've taken has exacerbated it. Illegal demonstration? Sure is... So don't go on TV and yell and scream. Ignore them publicly and send the police to start impounding the trucks. Don't address it. All they've done is add fuel to the fire.
On the other side, how the hell do you compare a group of protestors parking trucks at intersections to groups of thugs that blocked streets by jumping on vehicles and breaking the windows with ball bats. Any attempt at equivalency disqualifies your argument, period.

Thanks for reaching out and sharing your impressions. I agree it was a failure by the Ottawa Police that precipitated this. The Ontario government did nothing to correct the problem until it was too late and now the G’ovt of Canada owns it lock, stock and barrel.
Nevertheless it would be highly appreciated if the American Right would stop fuelling it with their world renowned and ongoing media disinformation.

Well, the fear of a similar action in the US has helped spur some local civic leaders to start taking their own actions... https://www.nbcwashington.com/news/coronavirus/dc-drops-mask-mandates/2972028/ So, from a purely political and local perspective, it was basically a win to support the Canadian Truckers...

I will not speak to actions taken in the US relaxing pandemic restrictions unless those specific actions in some way affect this country.
Suffice to say however that what is happening here now has very little to do with truckers or their issues with pandemic related restrictions.

Stop and look how the Ottawa protest has been framed (and I do mean framed) in Canadian media. I often complain about the bias of American media. Nice to know our friends to the North are not one whit better.
Since you posted that shitshow Tucker Carlson presented on the protests, I have made a point of checking daily what Fox News is posting about it on their website.
Hate to tell you but what Fox is posting bears little or no relation to what is actually happening here or how resentful the vast majority of Canadians are feeling towards these protests. In fact I would it put it to you that Fox is deliberately publishing outright lies with intent to sow disinformation and incite militancy. A lot of what it gets appears to come from Rebel News, a Canadian fake news site that caters to the lunatic fringe of the Canadian anglophone right wing - you know, the same vermin with the arms and ammo that were arrested Monday am at the Coutts border crossing.
I saw a compilation on Twitter of various right wing Fox hosts practically begging the audience to start similar mayhem here.

This happens a lot on TNCR. It’s like there’s two entirely separate conversations going on. I think I’m discussing a really specific topic (like about whether governments should allow protestors to close highways) and my interlocutor is having an entirely different discussion - namely, who are the good guys, and who are the bad guys? Which tribe is better than which?
That’s really the only way to make sense of George’s response to me and your comment above.

Forgot to respond yesterday, apologies....
No, the government should not allow protestors to close highways. I thought I was clear when I said, "Get a permit." Sorry if I wasn't.
But to try to make my point more clear, the same folks who either cheered or ignored the BLM protests, not only here in the US, but also in Canada (Trudeau took a knee, if you recall), are all about law and order now. He was silent when statues in Toronto were defaced in the name of BLM. Yet, putting an upside-down Canadian flag on a statue is an outrage.
DeBlasio was silent when BLM shut down the George Washington Bridge in September 2020. Trudeau stood in solidarity with Indian farmers who protested and blocked streets last year.
So yeah, some protests are good, and some are bad, depending on what's being protested. My point, which I think you missed, is that breaking the law is breaking the law. Period.
If blocking streets is breaking the law now, lock 'em up.
If it was breaking the law back then, why weren't they locked up then?
Standing "in solidarity" with one group because of your political stance on an issue should be irrelevant. Block a street - get arrested as far as I'm concerned.
Honk honk? A nuisance as well. There are restrictions in every city and town as to noise. Follow the law.
My apologies for not being clear.

Note my earlier comment. The truckers are illegally blocking intersections? Go in and start removing them. Don’t wait 2-3 weeks. If you wait 2-3 weeks, then you have legitimized their protest.
