Over at Larry Correia’s site there was a post on the Trucker’s Protest on the Windsor Bridge crossing. Anyway in the comments a Canadian calling himself “The Phantom” had some very interesting comments about the popularity of the protest with the regular Canadians:
“Second, I live almost 2 hours from Toronto and 6 hours from Ottawa, out in the sticks down by Lake Erie. It is farm country, there’s nothing going on around here. Cows and snowbanks right now. So, the fun part is that every time I leave the house to go to the store or what have you, there are Freedom Convoy signs and Canadian flags on random pickup trucks. People have been lining up hay bales in their fields next to the road and painting them with slogans. Idle tractors sitting in driveways have a Canadian flag tied to a hockey stick flying on them. There was a big John Deere parked at the Tim Horton’s in Cayuga on Hwy 3 the other day with a Freedom Convoy sign and a flag.
It’s not just the truckers now. The government has been pissing off the Normies for two years now, and the dam finally broke. Present situation today is that roughly everything you see on Canadian media is a lie, and the crowds of protesters are the regular Jane and Joe Canadian who are tired of lockdowns, masks and vaccine mandates. They’ve had it, and they’re starting to look at how they want to piss off the government today.”
Maybe the Canadians will make some changes in their government.

What I wonder is whether the protestors can convince enough truckers to think about a trucking strike where they shut down the supply chain completely. How long would it take for Canada to acquiesce? I’m guessing two weeks.
And Canada does not have the military size to simply order soldiers to drive the trucks or take over transport of goods in their military vehicles. Even going to war against the public is not really possible as they did after the Quebec bombings where they had tanks in the streets. Few tanks, few troops. Without the USA, Canada would be a ripe plum for the taking by almost anyone, including Belgium.
Trudeau immediately asks for some NSA and FBI help as soon as he wants to start hassling the protestors. The globalists are such good neighbors.
