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.

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 Trudeauās 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 Gāovt 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.
So there you have it. Your sources are more shit than any of those I rely upon.
But I am certain that doesnāt come as surprise to just me alone on this forum. It should not to you either.

This happens a lot on TNCR. Itās like thereās two entirely separate conversations going on. I think Iām 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?
Thatās really the only way to make sense of Georgeās 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. Donāt wait 2-3 weeks. If you wait 2-3 weeks, then you have legitimized their protest.

Begging is a bridge too far.
Support? Why, yes! And it makes sense at a very elemental level. Does any government in a free society have the power to mandate its citizens or subjects do something totally useless (or almost so) and back that edict up with the power (Force. All power emanates from the barrel of a gun) of the government?
Let's say all citizens of New York are ordered to paint their faces blue, and if it is not done, all New York citizens will be subject to fines, arrest and imprisonment. Would it make sense to protest that mandate by peaceful means?

Only if New Yorkers were prohibited from wearing matching non polyester accessories to augment their blue faces.
Letās say we all start playing silly bugger.
That said, jon is correct, lines tend be drawn along tribal affiliations and sympathies. I see what is currently happening in Ottawa as an illegal occupation holding a seditious agenda insidiously masquerading as a citizensā peaceful protest against vaccine mandates and government over reach. The peaceful truckerās protest train left the station three weeks ago. Home grown extremists hijacked the demonstration and are using truckers and anti mandate sympathizers as pawns. The events are such that a majority in Parliament along with several provincial premiers also see it that way and are addressing the threats through legislative and legitimate means.
Likewise, it is of little consequence to me whether others view our politicians as maintaining a double standard with regard to past protests and protesters. There is a double standard and the politicians of all parties are all guilty of it. That is the nature of political life and Iām really not all that interested in hearing or reading other people drone on about it in relation to the here and now. What does interest me and I do care about is ending this occupation sooner rather than later. So if takes the full coercive power the state to meet that objective, then make it so.
To quote another Trudeau from another time, āthe bleeding hearts can just go ahead and bleedā.
