The Premieres have taken a kneee to the truckers...Trudeau will be next. His political career is in ashes. Several of his own cabinet have turned on him and the Conservatives and the Bloc have teamed up to put forward a motion to end the Fed mandates Feb 28th. He could veto it...but it'd be political suicide and possibly drop the Libs to 3rd party status.
Massive international pressure on the Canadian gov't to 'kill' the protests. A test of public sentiment. This week will tell the tale. If the gov't is successful, the same tactics will then be available for use against ordinary citizens. Wanna bet?
I hope you are right, scoobum. Not just for the US. Canadian flags are seen in world wide protests now for a week or so. Canada has contributed the most so far. The nation state came about because of the ability to produce and project large scale violence. About 500 yrs ago.
