This Canadian trucker strike, three weeks old, has taken a toll on the Canadian capital. As reported a couple of days ago, truckers and their supporters are being forcibly and, in some cases, brutally arrested. In addition, the heavy hand of Prime Minister Justin Trudeau has the banks of Canada locking down their money even if they haven’t even been arrested or charged with any crime. When you have weak leaders who run and win elections with questionable voting methods, even as high as presidents or prime minister, remember they are just politicians and really never lead in a situation where it takes a leader. On the other hand, when you do have a peaceful protest, they to have the ability to hurt innocent people. For instance if you block streets they need to remember if an elderly woman or man needs to get to the hospital they better make sure these people have access to the care they need. From all accounts, there have been no blockage of emergency services, nor even one report of any law enforcement or medical emergency action being prevented by the actions of the protesters, not even accidentally. The truckers are fully aware of the optics of such blockages, as one only needs to recall the countless riots in the US and Canada in 2020 where roads were blocked, preventing ambulances from saving people, causing dozens of needless losses of life. Ironically, the liberals in 2020 never said anything about that back then, but are now screaming about that now, which has yet to occur (and most probably won’t.)
