When you restrict someone’s freedom of movement, without due cause, you become the oppressor. You cannot fight oppression with oppression. That is the big mistake of the Left. That is why they will loose.
We are not yet at war. When (or if) that changes, the rules will change. |

I find it strange that I agree with MEM more and more each day.  (We all know he's nuts.)
MEM 2001 Colorized
Everywhere people have tried lower levels of protest that didn't effect people as much. They obviously haven't worked because the restrictions (as predicted) have gotten tighter and tighter.
The drivers just didn't take the loads, but there are all kinds of low paid "other" drivers* that come and get the loads. We've refused to go into places with mask rules, or shot rules. I personally quit my very nice job because the company implemented a vaccine mandate.
We are 100% at war right now. The Left declared war on anyone who disagrees with them years ago.
That said. Who has really been effected so far by these protests? Is there someone on here that isn't getting basic necessities because of the protest? The shelves were empty here long before it started.
*Other drivers comprise of a mix of low paid foreign and new/inexperienced drivers that either take the load, or don't have a job.

Someone said that this asphalt blockade wasn't affecting commerce. The longer it lasts, the more folks who won't be working due to it. I suppose it doesn't matter if it's not your job.
There's already a Ford and Toyota assembly plants are shut down.

I've got a friend (fellow driver) that is only deals with Ford plants. They have been off and on for the past several months because of chip shortages. There are various parts shortages that have been going on for the past year or so.

Wait, so it is ok to shut things down, if you agree with the reason.

Go get their money, redistribute to poor, earn cares, the cares desired for social creds.
Robbing Hoods, the merry green men, rolling in it.

acording to the gateway pundit the CFO of GiveSendGo says not so fast. his quote is as follows
| quote | | GiveSendGo account has not been shut down. GiveSendGo is not subject to Canadian court order. We are not Canadian citizens. We will issue a press release shortly. |

Techicallity...as soon as the money hits the border it's frozen.
So while it may be "safe" from the order sitting with GiveSendGo, there is no way to access it and get it going where it was intended. Sooner or later its going to end up in Canadian hands in one way or another, then the order hits.
