    What about farm equipment? I've never been through Coutts, is it farmland on all sides? Could bona-fide farmers drive tractors etc across the fields and get right up to the parking lot? To bulk up the numbers and block any access to tow trucks if it goes that far? Bring in food, fuel and supplies.
    I'd hope the owners of that surrounding land would be asked first and be OK with that thought otherwise you're no better than what you are fighting against.

      Front line RCMP hate Treadau.
      He never supports them and basicly thinks most can be replaced by social workers.

        Hmmm, The Inconvenient Truth, the border blockade will make it a bit inconvenient, push-back for mandatory vaccination.

          If the property owners are okay with it, then not only would it be effective to roll farm machinery in, but the organizers should be making a phone call that would see about 200 more trucks in and blockading the road out a beyond the law enforcment.

          If they object, then part of the negotiations would include letting them out a over the course of the day.

            So where are all the law and order types now that their fellow mal contents are illegally blocking a border and highways?

            Truckers trying to do their jobs and the businesses they are working for are not happy about the blockade.

            Do these protestors not have jobs or work?

            The cops want to deescalate in order to prevent violence, otherwise they would start with arrests and towing the trucks.

              They've reached the point of negative returns as far as public opinion goes. We'll see if there are enough functioning brain cells in the blockade to find a way out.

                Isn’t Coutts the same port where chuck and his CWB commie buddies arrested farmers for selling sacks of wheat. We know what side he is on.

                  Point of negative return? Like your beloved “vaccine”?

                    If Jason doesn't deescalate the situation he better hope there's room for him in Justin's bunker.

                      So assuming you think grain should be able to cross the border both directions how do you respond to the feedlots that are scrambling for their daily feed that is being blocked/delayed. Kevin Serfas was on the radio last night asking to let them through, saying in principle that he supports the cause but it is becoming a animal husbandry issue. Just like what was said on the recent feeding thread on agriville these guys need regular trucks.
