    Re: Latest on the Corona Virus

    ... it was revealed that in the case of the Ambassador Bridge, where the services of heavy lift tow trucks were hard to acquire, the USA offered to provide assistance to remove any such vehicles. The offer was never needed.

    Under the Emergency Act, heavy lift tow truck operators based in Canada with existing contracts with Provincial & Federal gov't agencies are now compelled to provide their services when requested.

    The Emergency Act, while Federal in scope, is very geographically limited to four border crossings and Ottawa. The vast majority of Canada is not effected by this Act.

      Like I said yesterday, Trudeau is tanking in the polls.



      Justin Trudeau Tanks in the Polls with Both Supporters and Opponents of ‘Freedom Convoy’


      Far-left Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau is facing a popularity collapse, several polls published this weekend found, in the aftermath of his handling of the ongoing “Freedom Convoy” anti-mandate protests – with both supporters and opponents of the protesters.


      Trudeau has branded the thousands participating in trucker-led protests nationwide “a few people shouting and waving swastikas” and described them as wearing “tinfoil hats.” He has refused to engage in any discussions with those supporting a full repeal of civil rights violations in the name of containing the Chinese coronavirus pandemic and rejected calls from members of a variety of political parties in the country to appeal to unity and dialogue to resolve the protests.


      The “Freedom Convoy” is a national series of peaceful protests characterized by truckers using their large vehicles to block international crossings along Canada’s southern border and occupy major cities, using honking as their act of discontent. In Ottawa, the national capital, protesters have been present for two weeks, organizing dancing, free meal distributions, children’s entertainment, and other activities that have given the protests a festival atmosphere.


      The protesters are most urgently opposed to Chinese coronavirus vaccine mandates and sanitary mask mandates but have also called for the government to stop limiting assemblies and shutting down businesses.


      The polling firm Maru Group found in a poll published Monday that nearly half of Canadians, 48 percent, believe Trudeau “is not up to the job of being prime minister.” Only 35 percent say that he is. The protests appear to be clearly to blame: only 16 percent said that Trudeau’s handling of the “Freedom Convoy” made them want to vote for him, compared to 63 percent actively discouraged to do so by the handling of the situation. A majority, 53 percent, believe that Trudeau has not acted in a way befitting a prime minister in the face of the protests.


      The numbers are not an indication of any widespread support for the protests. On the contrary, the respondents’ distaste for Trudeau appears to be coming from disagreement with the protests and a sense that the protesters are winning while Trudeau fails to act, making him appear “weak.” In a separate poll published Saturday, 56 percent said they did not support the “Freedom Convoy” “in any way, shape or form.” A higher number, 64 percent, said they considered the protesters a threat to democracy; the same number “support using the Canadian Armed Forces” to clear out the trucks.


      Yet over half in the Monday survey, 53 percent of respondents, said that Trudeau looked weak when facing the “Freedom Convoy,” compared to 17 percent who said yes when asked if he looked “strong” in his attempts to stop the protests. Another 44 percent said that they believed Trudeau had personally worsened the situation.


      Both polls were conducted from February 9 to 10.

      Adversity temporarily visits a strong man but stays with the weak for a lifetime.

        Any "news" source that considers Trudeau as "far left" is not very credible. It's, in fact, laughable.

                  Re: Latest on the Corona Virus

                  ... today, the full force and power of the Canadian gov't has told the Freedom Convoy protesters to go home. They have less than 36 hours to do so or will soon spend the next many years of their lives wishing they had done so.

                  You do not want to get tangled up in the Canadian Federal justice system on criminal charges. It takes a lot of time and a lot of money to get out of it.

                  While social media clowns are egging the protesters to continue the fight, they have no skin in the game other than to solicit advertising and donations for their personal profit and ego.

                    Unfortunately this is pretty much what the "protesters" were waiting for. Now they can whine about how they are the victims.

                      .. the protesters did get what they wanted, "change". The problem is that the "change" they rec'd was the Emergency Act.

                      ... it was revealed today that approx 70% of the money that the protesters rec'd was from the USA.

                      ... Canadians are so done with the Freedom protesters that if there was a Federal election today in Canada, Justin Trudeau would win in a landslide.

                        Considering your point of reference, your statement is accurate. But everyone needs to keep in mind that you are about as far left of the spectrum as it gets.

                            a.) You have said there has never been a communist country in the history of the world.'

                            b.) You said that that you would have sex with a tranny and not hold his past against him.


                            Before you get upset, I don't believe I'm talking out of school as this is a direct response to how much I know about you and both statements are 100% accurate.

                              That is a mighty big pinhead you are talking about. What you have posted very much tell everything there is to know about you other than you name, where you reside and the name and age of your trans friend.

                                Aaaaaaaand he's back. That didn't last long Billy. And no, I'm not upset. You are incapable of upsetting me.

                                As usual your information is bad.
                                I said there has never been a TRUE communist country. I didn't say there haven't been countries that identify as communist.
