A state of emergency has been declared in Ontario after the Biden administration urged Prime Minister Justin Trudeau's government to use its federal powers to end the Freedom Convoy demonstrations blockading key border crossings to protest Canada's COVID-19 restrictions.
Conservative Ontario Premier Doug Ford on Friday declared a 42-hour state of emergency, threatening vehicle seizures, fines of C$100,000 ($79,000), jail time of up to a year, and suspension of commercial licenses to punish protesters who do not comply with orders to disperse.
'This is a pivotal moment for our nation. The eyes of the world upon us right now, and what they are seeing is not who we are, this is not what Canada is about,' said Ford at a briefing. 'As a province, as a nation, we must collectively draw a line.'

WNU Editor: I always find it weird to see a political leader come-out and say that to preserve our right to protest, his government is going to legislate draconian measures to impose massive fines and jail terms to stop a protest.
Update: Canadian Prime Trudeau will be delivering remarks at 14:00 EST today .... PM Trudeau set to address ongoing trucker protests, blockades Friday afternoon (CTV News).

Why are leftists, liberals, communists, anarchist and Democrats allowed to shutdown interstates and block main thoroughfares and get away with it?
They also attack unwary motorists.
These are morals they learned in their literature classes taught by socialists.
The following list does not include blocked intersections in Denver, Houston and Seattle where liberals attacked motorists.

See how the press propagandizes with the mostly peaceful language?

forget the press:
The govt has the right to clear those closing down roads, be they on the right or on the left. And declaring an emergency is their right: shipping between nations is putting strain on the economy.
My view: open the road, no matter who closes them down. good for the goose. good for gooser.
Robert Ford is a real dog. He stole from his sister-in-law. He stole the food from the dinner pates of his nieces and nephews.
"In 2018, Rob's widow sued Doug and Randy for mismanagement of Rob's estate, saying their actions deprived her and her children of due compensation while overseeing business losses at Deco Labels totalling half of the company's market value."

Nah, You cannot let the Left run rampant for months and then declare yourself law and order when it is not longer the left.
CHAD lasted how long?
It is hypocritical to close down business during COVID and then turn around decry these protest like the Gretch did in Michigan.
The government is so consistent about what is essential and not essential. Woodrow Wilson declared baseball nonessential. FDR declared them essential.
Hair salon were closed down during COVID, but Nancy Pelosi and mayor Lori Lightfoot nonetheless violated their own edicts.
This protest started because liberals in government absolutely ruined people with their quasi science dictates.
Dude (2:35) just go back to your pictures and jacking off.
mask and vaccine mandates and lockdowns destroy the economy so let's close down the bridges and highways and stop shipping and that will be good for the working folks and the economy.
"
These are morals they learned in their literature classes taught by socialists."
you clearly have not attended any classes above 4th grade if you believe that silliness you made.
Yeah - good idea - just start cracking down hard.
Trudeau and Biden are going to completely unify and harden the resolve of all truckers. If there's a better foment a total North American Continental truck stoppage, I can't think of one.
The only way out of this is for the petty tyrants running Canada and the US to stop vaccine mandates and stop mask harassment.
Or - in their arrogance and incompetence - they will grind North America to a halt.
I don't deal with might be and wait for what is. You seem to suggest Do This or That will happen
Jan 6 wet dream came to nothing but a lot (so far) of arrests and pleas of guilty; so let us see if your This or That remain the only outcome.
