Yep...a blue flu of sorts. They can't come after anyone or spin it as an "insurrection".

...and good luck trying to sort them all out!

The Canadian one has been quite the intel op...fleshed out 1000's...from those that will actively engage to sympathizers willing to throw $50 bucks in the kitty...
That is actually pretty scary. Those thousands that either donated money, or showed up to get face recognitioned, or have a vehicle registered in their name whose license plate was noted, are going to be persecuted in the coming months. Simply believing in freedom could cost them their livelihood.

The protesters were peaceful and trusted in God. Of course, the fat lady hasn't sang yet, so if the government keeps pushing, the people may not be so peaceful next time.

The slaves outnumber the masters and are probably smarter as well. The smartest people generally don't get government jobs. Freedom is not free and it is time for people to realize that. The Iconic Cafe owner in Canada when threatened with losing his business license, did not back down. He realized that he was all in. He may lose everything he has either way, so he may as well fight. Put someone in a corner with no way out and they will fight or die.

Despite some of the disaster(s) of it all (both here an in Canada), if there is one area where Canada completely blew the doors off the good ol' U.S. of A., it is with respect to the level of trucker response,, commitment, and the level of excited, energetic support and encouragement of rural folks all across Canada, who turned out in droves in sub-zero temperatures, and sometimes waited for hours, and thronged to Ottowa, etc., on weekends, to demonstrate solidarity and support for the truckers -- and elimination of the mandates

By contrast, the same crowds (demographics) here in the states can't really seem to be bothered to get off the couch in significant enough numbers to amount to much -- and that in a country that has at least 10 times the population of Canada..

Despite some of the disaster(s) of it all (my perception), as a person who was almost born a Canuck, and came fairly close to moving there about 15 years ago, this has still been one of the very best things I have seen out of Canada (and especially its people) in a long time.

Not, that I necessarily agree with Elon Musk on very much, but I do agree with him on this: Canadian Truckers Rock!

If there’s one thing we’re good at in America lately, it’s crushing freedom under the jackboot of tyranny.
Even if the truckers make it to the capital, they'll instantly be infiltrated by alphabet boy moles who will commit acts of violence to justify a forceful resoltion.
