    Coutts Blockade

    So who are the brainiacs that decided the best way to protest the trucker vaccine mandate that are stopping a small minority of truckers from crossing the border, was to go to block the border so that even the vaccinated truckers can't cross?

    Yes I saw a vaxxed trucker on Facebook carrying beef to the USA being blocked he was not happy at all and stated this made no sense what so ever.
    This may create food shortages wouldn’t it? Or is this about food shortages? Lol not sure anymore. He had to turn around. Also denying emergency services? Not sure don’t know that area.

      The protests are like herding cats. There for sure are "leaders" that can affect what happens at protests but for the most part there are no real leaders the same as the BLM and other protest. I expect that like so many other places in the western world the protests will continue. Face it, Trudeau and the feds are losing the confidence of people everyday. There doesn't seem to be a plan moving forward. Until people see a positive way forward the showing of frustration will continue I expect.

        We joined the convoy about 5 miles out of Lethbridge.

        Had to merge in as couldn't see either end of line after waiting awhile after lead went by.
        Later heard it was 47Km long.

        There were people of all ages at major turnouts and some at field approaches.
        Canadian flag makers/sellers made out good!!!!!! Felt good to be a Canadian again!!

        Very poor coverage by media. Seems to me that only the negative views/comments get
        published. Wish they would of interviewed those young families with little kids that I saw
        waving flags!

          Kenny sure slammed it. At this point he is indistinguishable from the feds and doesnt look like he is ready to pivot to anything different.

          Why are politicians so obtuse?

                Like I dont know what Kenny is even doing anymore. In the next couple months Trudeau is going to table legislation to cap oil production. And we arent even close to being ready to fight that. Why is AB always behind the 8 ball.

                The immediate response to some legislation like that should be passing their own bill ignoring the carbon tax or draining the CPP by establishing an APP.

                Like I dont even know what this is anymore in AB. Just waiting for Trudeau to get bored is not a strategy.

                  I sincerely hope that the planned response is to present a pre negotiated agreement with the USA for statehood. Meet all of our demands, or we will proceed with this, taking all of the tax revenue, the CPP revenue, the RCMP funding, etc. With oil and gas on the upswing, the ball is entirely in our court.

                    Well if it is the same group of mal content brainiacs who organized the Coutts blockade who are going to organize the separation agreement then there is not much chance they will be successful.

                    Self declared "patriots" waving the Canadian flag are usually not committed separatists.

                    We didnt see many "freedom fighters" waving the US flag on the weekend did we?
