These conclusions appear to follow from the Canadian truckers’ protest in Ottawa:

1. There was some justification for the truckers’ demand for the reduction or elimination of Covid mandates. Other free and democratic countries have done that. So how is it fair that truckers, once regarded as essential workers, were targeted with new restrictions when Covid’s winding down?
2. Prime Minister Justin Trudeau could have defused the situation by meeting with the leaders instead of provoking them.
3. Ottawa’s Mayor Jim Watson and Police Chief Peter Sloly were incompetent in allowing hundreds of trucks to arrive downtown. The military historian Basil Liddell Hart wrote of the importance of learning from history so as to avoid making the same mistakes over and over. Why keep repeating failures of preparedness ahead of potentially troublesome demonstrations known well in advance to be on their way—as the Americans failed ahead of the January 6, 2021 riot in Washington?
4. The invocation of the Emergencies Act is unconscionable overreach as a remedy for a fiasco caused by ineptitude at all levels of government.

“We are already seeing positive results including the freezing of 206 financial products…bank accounts, corporate accounts, the disclosure of 56 entities, vehicles, individuals, companies, the addresses of 253 bitcoin shared with virtual currency exchangers; and the proactive freezing of an account of a payment processor for a value of $3.8 million by financial institution.”

The mayor of Ottawa wants to sell the trucks and other vehicles they confiscated at the protest.
It will take years (or a completely different batch of officials) to heal the wounds of this protest. Will people really trust their officials again, or believe anything they say? I wouldn't. Will Biden and his lackeys do the same thing (only sooner) to the truckers now heading to DC? People are just beginning to heal after two years of forced masks and restrictions, if Trudeau really cared about his people, he would have done the research and realized the mandates were restricting the truckers in getting their jobs done and the free movement of goods between countries but then his puppetmaster Klaus Schwab would have been verrrry angry.....Just a view of an 82 year American great grandmother who cares very much about the people in both countries...... When you have more info, please post it to Dan Bogino, his program has been keeping up on the news for over 2 million people.

Wait... it's over? When were the vaccine mandates dropped? They weren't, to my knowledge. The only thing dropped was the emergency Powers which Trudeau invoked after the protest began, yes?
