Yesterday, the trucker thugs who have held this country hostage for so long declared that they would never surrender. Proclaimed that they would HOLD THE LINE !!!
So they could keep living it up, with a lot of American money.
Keep demanding that the government surrender, and that Justin Trudeau be arrested and executed for "treason."
Soaking in filthy saunas, and roasting a whole pig to show their contempt for the poor people of Ottawa.
While torturing them further.
But luckily that didn't last long.This literally sounds like a choir from heaven.

For the police finally moved in, and soon many of the trucker Cons were the ones squealing like pigs.
As they and their top leaders were arrested.
Large numbers of police officers are moving in on protesters in downtown Ottawa and making arrests — including high profile organizers Tamara Lich, Chris Barber and Pat King — during an intense clash with the demonstrators who have so far refused to leave the area.
Their bank accounts are frozen.
And one truck after the other finally left, or was towed away.
It's was a wonderful sight, and I was impressed, and at times frustrated, by how restrained the police behaved..
But there was a reason police had to be very careful, and that's because many of the hardcore trucker thugs, are religious fanatics.
Christian faith — with an overtly evangelical feel — flows likes an undercurrent through the Freedom Convoy in Ottawa.
It's unclear how many of the roughly 4,000 people who gathered in the Parliament precinct this past weekend call themselves Christians, but the biblical references were everywhere — in the hand-made placards lining the stone and iron fence at the border of Parliament Hill reading, "We are praying for Justin [Trudeau]," quoting parts of Psalm 23 or paraphrasing 1 Corinthians 1:27 in the New Testament:
"God chose the foolish to shame the wisdom of the wise."
And all through the occupation they were everywhere...
And I mean everywhere...
Trying to replace science with bullshit from their Bibles...
Or at least heed the voices in their heads.
And so is this...Worth listening to for insight into what motivates certain convoy/occupation supporters.#cdnpoli #FreedomConvoy #Ottawa pic.twitter.com/N4TYbSe4oC

And isn't this special?
Starting Friday, "Jericho marches" began circling the parliamentary precinct every morning. The name refers to the Old Testament story of the Israelites walking around the walls of Jericho for seven days. On the seventh day, the Israelites marched seven times, blew rams horns and shouted. The walls came tumbling down.
Can you believe it?
They were trying to bring down the government by walking seven times around our parliament, and honking blowing their horns.
But don't laugh, or be fooled, those Con kooks and assorted anti-vaxxer fanatics really are dangerous.
Children are being used as human shields.
Police officers are being assaulted.
And yet, despite all of that, and the economic damage they have done to this country, the Cons are still supporting the trucker terrorists.
No doubt because so many of their MPs and supporters are also under the sway of the religious right.
Take Candy Bergen for example. She now says she's against the blockades, but she is also against the Emergencies Act.
Even though she encouraged the terrorist truckers to occupy Ottawa, and she couldn't have welcomed them more warmly.
Especially the trucks with the word "God" on them, like that one or this one...
And then there's Pierre Poilievre who is making it clear where he would take this country...
Which should also make it clear why he should NEVER be Prime Minister.
For when you collaborate with the trucker terrorists who held a Canadian city hostage for more than three weeks, you are no better than a terrorist yourself. And you will pay for what you have done, all the way to the next election.
This evening the police were still clearing away the last of the Con fascists and their trucks.
But the battle has at last been won.
Wellington street looks and smells cleaner than it has in a long time.
And along with the police and the people of Ottawa, Justin Trudeau was the big winner.
He refused to negotiate with the terrorists, even when they threatened to kill him and his family.
He brought in the Emergencies Act to break the backs of the religious fanatics who thought they could turn us into a theocracy.
And all I can say is thank you!!! thank you!!! freedom!!! freedom!!!
Canada still lives, and our long nightmare is finally over...
As the Ottawa occupation finally winds down, the hatred being whipped up against Trudeau by right-wing and alt-right media is deeply concerning. Tucker Carlson and other influential propagandists are giving him the Hillary treatment on steroids with their hysterical Hitler/tyrant/dictator analogies. Needless to say, Cons are fanning the flames back at home. I hope Trudeau is accorded a top-notch security detail after he leaves office because the hatred isn't likely to abate anytime soon.
ReplyDeleteThe last three weeks have served as a sickening wake-up call that Canada has its own fair share of deplorables. They are a serious and ongoing threat. In addressing it, law enforcement will need to step up their game.
Amen Simon :)
ReplyDeleteIt's over.
ReplyDeleteGood guys win and Tamara Lich is going to have to pay a mint to get out of jail.
Good for us here in Boring Town and CPC media are running for the Hills.
Robert Fife just denounced the CPC as Trumpian on CTV. Local CON nutbar L. G__n is in hiding. Kenney is posturing uselessly.
And not one injury. Not a single one.

You actually think this is over? Wow, you are completely deluded.
ReplyDeleteIt's not over.
ReplyDeleteI live in Ottawa I know this crowd of Christian bigots. I went down to the Red (cockroach) Zone frequently purposely wearing a mask to evoke their jeers and disdain and giving it back better than I took.
So I stopped to top off my tank and as I was proceeded, a redneck leaving the store with a bandana as a face mask, (of course) driving a snowplow came up to me all friendly like and said, "Did yah hear Trudeau killed a elder Indian woman last...." thinking I was one of them.
I immediately cut him off, and told the plague rat to spout his fascist shit elsewhere, I don't listen to Nazis."
I work the trades and I'm fairly big so he wasn't about to attack because the coward didnt have his pack.
Another customer stood beside me and joined in "Move along Nazi, we don't want you here. I was never more proud to be Canadian as when a little Arabic Canadian stepped up beside us too and jeered at the fascist.
I eventually pulled my phone out but was kicking myself for not pulling it out immediately. Cockroaches hate the light of day. Notice how they attack real journalism, if they were righteous there would be no need for this, but the real reason I'm disappointed I didn't film earlier, is because I wish I could have posted his vile poison, homophobic and racist taunts, threats to Trudeau, etc, that this cornered weasel threw up.
Film them (pro tip, hold camera landscape)
whenever you see them.
We need to counter the lying Right wing internet narrative that they are non violent legal protesters and the best way to do that is let them hang themselves.
Film them, then expose them and let them learn about Consequence Culture and aking responsibility for their amoral actions.

I always wondered, as a child, what my father meant by those words that would most certainly be deemed as blasphemous by the holier than thou cult on the right. As I got older, I got what he meant and through the years, the absolute hypocrisy throughout religions sank in and I avoided them like the plague. If that's your thing then fine but with everything in life, we must use moderation. Sadly, there was nothing moderate with these Con cultists who would absolutely never forsake and torture their children by making them wear a mask but are okay with defying the law, taking them to an illegal occupation and using them as human shields. Stunning. Their statements and actions throughout this entire occupation were nothing short of something out of The Twilight Zone.
We've retaken the hill! Hallelujah and glory be to God! The Con-voy has been ousted, vanquished, and in jail some languish in anguish. Poetic justice is my favorite form and these clowns are getting it. Never before has anyone fought so hard for so little. So stupid. It's comforting to know that the heads of the snake were arrested and are enjoying their new found freedoms. Nazi Pat King, being a chain smoker, must be climbing the walls of his pig pen right about now with his bail hearing still 3 days away. Same with Tammy who wears it well in this mug shot. Oh the irony.

Is it just me or does she seem a bit irritated? I would be too. Assets frozen, serious criminal charges and huge lawsuits against oneself would tend to do that. I wonder if they'll start a gofundme to cover the huge costs? There's a whole world of hurt waiting for them thanks to Justin's invoking of the EA. A move that history will look upon with great pride and favour as it effectively brought the adults into the room when the municipal and provincial levels of government failed miserably to bring it under control. The cops were repeatedly praising the EA for their ability to rapidly dismantle the village of the damned while the moves to strangle the finances of those involved are simply incredible.
Meanwhile, the Cons must be feeling like that rotating pig, Simon. Spinning and spinning as the sweat oozes from their pores and the shit loads up their pants. It's obvious that many of them aided, abetted and incited the terrorists before and during the occupation so shouldn't their assets be frozen? Or at the very least, do a deep dive into their financial records of the past ten years? Can you imagine the skeletons that would come tumbling out of those closets? It's no wonder they're so dead set against the EA and are petrified at the thought of Chrystia's unfettered powers breathing down their necks. Grab the popcorn folks.
Congratulations to those in downtown Ottawa who've endured through the worst of this terrorist occupation for far too long. There will be scars to heal, if ever, but for the moment, enjoy the freedom that was taken away from you and breath in the air that's no longer choked with diesel fumes, wood smoke, blaring horns and selfish assholes. I am so happy for you all. It is a great day for freedom.

The good guys may have won this battle, but get ready for a long haul war. The inquiry is going to be lit, and good luck restraining the insane Con posse from turning it into another scandalmongering fracas to fundraise for Pigeon's impending coronation.
ReplyDeleteExpect even more disruptions as Putin seeks to destabilize the NATO countries and the US descends further into fascism in the run-up to what promises to be a midterm bloodbath for the Democrats (thanks a whole fucking lot, Joe Manchin and Krysten "Manic Pixie Sellout Girl" Sinema). There's no way that Canada gets away unscathed from the chaos that's coming down the line. We're going to look back at a fucking *pandemic* as the halcyon age of relative tranquility.
I sadly agree with Anon 10:47 PM wholeheartedly in that PMJT is going to need a thoroughly vetted (as in, no Dan Bufords or Martin Dands, thank you very much) and highly trained security team for the rest of his life. What a surreal horror show for the people of Ottawa, the people of Canada, and the prime minister, his family and his Liberal team. I really can't tell you folks enough, as an American, just how sorry I am that it's all come to this. Canada deserves better. Trudeau, the beleaguered humanitarian, most of all.
My heartfelt advice to Canadians is to root out the bad guys in your midst now before the cancer is inoperable like it has become for our body politic. Build that bigly wall and make America pay for it!
A big shout out to Jackie for mastering Twitter. Blocking anyone and everyone who merely criticizes the PM, no matter how slight or valid the criticism is and backed up with on the record fact, or no matter how reasonable the discussion is.
DeleteTook you no time to become a full fledged member of the I Stand With Trudeau cult. Next up is membership in the wing that blocks everyone simply because they don't vote Liberal, then cries nonstop when they get blocked.
OT a bit but relevant to anti mandate idiocy. The Olympics are over ; two covid free weeks in Bejing. Thousands of people travelled through airports and train stations to get there and lived and competed covid free . Vaccine mandates, masking mandates and testing mandates worked. We , as a country, should learn from that example.
ReplyDeleteSaturday used to be an errand day, out shopping, maybe grabbing a lunch somewhere. Now, everywhere you go are these ignorant fools with their convoy and flags flying, yelling freedumb with not a clue they live in the country rated high on the democratic scale. I ran into one of these idiots at the gas station, a young woman possibly in her late 20's who grew up in a generation of privilege, her white skin affording her a status not given to her indigenous counterparts, yelling for freedom denouncing public health measures as tyranny, with "no mandates" plastered across her vehicle. Multiply this deluded, stupid idiot by a few thousand, they're. loud, well financed and completely brain washed- we will be dealing with them for a very long time to come especially if Covid takes another right turn- which it most likely will.

ReplyDeleteFinally theyf are gone, but I think we need worry that we had a failure of government at all three levels.
ReplyDeleteOttawa has protests all the time. As a former Ottawa & Hull resident I got used to avoiding demos or dealing with road closures when a visiting head of state or the Queen was in town. The Ottawa Police should have closed streets or diverted vehicles to marshaling yards. They have the experience and likely could have prevented the Wellington Street occupation. This could have been an egregious intelligence failure or because of some sympathy with the convoy at senior police ranks but either way a total failure.
For the provincial level, I get the impression that Doug Ford did his impression of Wiarton Willie seeing his shadow, figuring that the Ottawa occupation would embarrass the Liberals and abandoned Ontario citizens. It was not til the Ambassador Bridge blockade which was hurting his donors and perhaps seriously damaging some of the Ford Nation that he acted.
The Federal Gov't dithered way too long, probably expecting the Ontario Gov't to act before doing something and then had to use the sledgehammer of the Emergencies Act though they may have had to use it at any time given jurisdictional issues. Assuming that we had an intelligence failure, this seems likely to damn the RCMP and CSIS as well as the Ottawa Police.
The involvement of the religious right, the money from Russia to try to overthrow Trudeau, plus the money from MAGA as a dry run for America 2024 - it was an unusual combination, and hopefully the last time they will try this in Canada.
ReplyDeleteI must say, I am stunned that people from BC to New Brunswick are still trying to block border crossings. Its nuts.
Also, the whole thing has been a wake-up call for police across the world, to understand while they have been fortifying against the mostly-law abiding hippies of BLM, these right-wingers have been preparing themselves to roll right over them.
Hi anon@10:47PM....I'm pretty sure that the Prime Minister has a good security detail, but you're right, the loser Cons are angry and desperate. Every time they think Trudeau isn't going to survive, he does. And other far-right kooks out there, are always threatening to kill him. So after the failure of the TruckerCon Convoy, his security will definitely need to be tightened. We are living in dangerous times...
ReplyDeleteHi anon@11:12 PM....Yes, I know how you feel. I've been praying for weeks, for an end to that fascist nightmare. And now that it's finally happened, I can't quite believe it...
ReplyDeleteHi Pierre...It is indeed a great day, Ottawa has been liberated!! I saw some visuals this morning (Sunday) of snowy Wellington Street without a single rig, or trucker terrorist, to spoil it's peaceful beauty. What a horrible nightmare it was, a deliberate attempt by far-right extremists to bring down a duly elected government. But I have to admit, I watched the police herding them off Wellington street on TV, and I enjoyed ever minute, or should I say every second. Watch out Spring, here I come...
ReplyDeleteHi Anon@11:54 PM...The occupation of Wellington Street is over, the fascist convoy terrorists have been routed. The Cons are nursing a giant sucking wound. But the war on the far-right continues, and will continue until it is destroyed. BTW I hope you and your Con friends aren't involved in that dark money scandal, because if you are it will come back to haunt you ...
ReplyDeleteHi DDR....It must be such a great feeling to get your city back, and watch our would be fascist masters be led away in handcuffs. Even now I can't believe that they really thought that they could topple a duly elected government, and arrest and maybe even kill the Prime Minister. The Cons have really hit rock bottom, and can't even claim any longer to being a Canadian political party. And from what I've seen and heard I believe some of them could be dangerous. Meanwhile in the House of Commons, some Cons are still praising the terrorists and blaming Justin Trudeau for treating them so cruelly. Barf. I want to see them all investigated, and if found guilty, sentenced to long prison sentences. I don't live in Ottawa, but I was outraged by the way you were treated...
ReplyDeleteHi JD....Yes Hallelujah, the fascist beast has been rousted!!! I watched the bullies being led away in handcuffs, and I must admit, every time I heard one of them bellow "FREEDOOOOOM" I practically died laughing. The police were finally able to deploy enough officers to make a difference. And the way they squeezed them out of the Parliament Hill area was a thing of beauty. I will never forget all those officers and their horses standing in the freezing cold, staring down the mob and never losing their cool. You can't ask for a more Canadian takedown.
ReplyDeleteNow we must make sure that the treasonous Cons are the next to go....
Hi Jackie... I agree with you. This victory feels great, but it will almost certainly be the beginning of an allout war with the far right. When even Fife thinks the Cons are now a Trumpian cult, you know The Abyss can't be far off. And we have to make sure we aren't the ones who fall into it. The attempt to take down our government, by force if necessary, was one of the most scary things I have ever witnessed. Those ugly vampire unmasked faces, the crazy talk, the attempts to intimidate us, the ever present threats of violence, the pervasive madness. Almost nobody in this country paid enough attention to the rise of the rise of the far right, and we almost paid for it with our country. Now we need to go after those fascists with every weapon at our disposal....
ReplyDeleteHi rumleyfips...I'm afraid that too many Canadians want the pandemic to end today, and while I feel the same way, I'd hate to see all the progress we have made destroyed by the impatience or the selfishness of others. Having to lockdown our country again, in the glory of Spring, would be a cruel blow indeed....
ReplyDeleteHa Ha no tales of excessive brutality and bigger than life martyrs to rally around in the future. Just a huge police force,armed with restraint,that methodically pushed the Freedumbers out of Ottawa into an obscure life of legal entanglement. The Cons will wail about government overreach and the fake news will fire their mortar rounds but those that are responsible for protecting society will learn from it and be more prepared for cyber war sponsored insurrections in the future.

A big shout out to Anon 6:51am for pointing out that Jackie's more than capable at keeping the Con trolls from infecting her twitter feed. Also, thanks for the laugh for suggesting that anything from the raging right is "slight", "reasonable" or "valid" criticisms. That's hilarious. Thanks again, hahaha.
ReplyDeleteJD
Hi RT….I thought the police action was simply brilliant. They had to show a lot of patience in freezing weather, but they managed to restrain themselves and not give the religious fanatics a chance to claim they were martyrs. You could see the disappointment in their faces as no police clubbed them or their children. Especially their children. I’m afraid if those losers want to become martyrs they will have to set themselves on fire…
ReplyDeleteHi anon@6:51 AM….Kindly take a hike Con. Jackie has made a sensational debut on Twitter, impressing them with her wit and her knowledge of Canadian politics. So the last thing she needs is ugly Cons fouling her timeline, and blocks them like I do. It must be really depressing to see how much Twitter talent progressives have , while you poor losers have nothing….
ReplyDeleteHi Steve….if you can prove that, bring the evidence to me. I’ll rewrite the Bible, and we can split the profits 50/50….
ReplyDeleteHi Cathie….The only good thing about that hideous hostage taking is that it has exposed how powerful the religious right is becoming. And of course also exposed the Cons as the Trump Party North. They were already in big trouble, but now it could become fatal. But as you suggest it won’t be easy. The far right fascists are now fixated on shutting down our climate change plans, destroying our Medicare system, and I’m afraid murdering Justin Trudeau. Which means we have to go after those bastards harder than we ever have before….
