People just need to prepare. Spread your money out. Get it out of the biggest banks. Go to a local credit union and ask them if they are being blackmailed with esg scores

Easy to talk like this behind a keyboard. And the only comparison between now and 1776 is the sentiment. Could that war have been won if the British government knew where every single American soldier was at all times? What if the British could communicate 1000x faster, which would be the case if facebook, twitter, and cell service is denied to the "insurectionist?" I don't think all the big talkers here understand that this is a relatively new kind of warfare. The state can slaughter you and erase the fact that you ever existed. Do you think there is no one in China who hates their government like we do? Do you think you never hear about them by accident?

I will spend my life for my family but I will not do it if it's wasted and I could do more for my children alive.


this. all these fricks without children get on here and talk big shite and are bad asses but yet i have not seen or heard of a single one doing a damn thing but talk shite.

really easy to talk shite when you have nothing to lose or have never had another human depend on you.

Truckers may have lost this battle, but they should win the war. They simply need to park their trucks at home and they can have the same impact.

I was going to recommend driving to the US and stay here until the mandates are gone.

Once you have a family, and in particular once you have kids, you lose the luxury of principle. I’ll risk a lot if only I will suffer the consequences, but my ability to resist tyranny ends the moment that resistance poses an existential threat to my kids. My first duty is to them above all else. The tyrannies I’d impose on others to protect them are essentially limitless, so I’d certainly abandon resistance to tyranny for them.

How so? 5 provinces have lifted the mandates, they’ve sparked similar protests worldwide, Trudeau is sinking and losing support and the media is forced to cover truly peaceful protests.

Trudeau will never win another election in Canada. Hell, He lost the last one. His popularity has to have taken a big hit.


They'll elect another "moderate" who will turn out to be just as bad.

You sound like the kind of guy that would quietly sit back while his industry completely fricks over the country as long as the paychecks kept coming.

Trudeau only has to win his own riding, provided the Liberal party keeps him.

The Liberal party staying in power? Honestly that depends on whether the NDP thinks they can take all the Libs’ seats if new elections happened.

Can’t they just refuse to move goods around? Wouldn’t that also be pretty impactful?
The goods were flowing just fine until a small group blocked the Ambassador Bridge. That tells me that not enough truckers are in favor of the protest in Ottawa.

Losing your father is not the same thing as losing everything.

Again, if only I stood to be punished and my kids would be fine it’s different. Once all ability for my kids to have money, food, clothes, healthcare, basic necessities is removed I no longer have the privilege of resisting.

Like I said…weak men

No foresight
No commitment to higher principles that transcend generations
No backbone

Just weakness afraid to lose what is right in front of you today

This is the exact logic that leads to hard times

I have 5. Every damn day I am talking to small groups around this nation, educating them on how to become an active part in preserving this republic. That's from organizing other small groups to taking over local offices and school boards to becoming a precinct committeeman.


The real issue here is your own shame when we do speak up.

They do depend on you to keep this nation free and a republic.

EVERY HUMAN HAS SOMETHING TO LOSE!

i dont think 300 out of 130,000 is gonna have the impact youre hoping for.



That is 300 Truck drivers willing to go make a stand in a city. I am betting you can get more to make a statement by just parking. The government couldn't call them terrorists and unlawful participants.

I don’t have the guts to do what they did or will do. I’ll make all the sammiches though.

God bless them.
