After Trudeau Freezes Protesters’ Bank Accounts a Run on Canadian Banks Shuts Down Services

Banks in Canada started freezing accounts of those who allegedly were supporting the Trucker Freedom Convoy protests yesterday. As news of bank accounts being frozen spread, several major Canadian banks went offline in what appeared to be a bank run. Trudeau faced his critics in Ottawa earlier today at the House of Commons, and reportedly stated: "We understand that Canadians are frustrated with [COVID-19]. Some protesters came to Ottawa to express their frustrations and fatigue with public health measures. That's their right. It's a right that we'll defend in this free and democratic country. But the illegal blockades and occupations are not peaceful protests. They have to stop." According to Trudeau's Justice Minister, apparently those "illegal blockades and occupations" include being a Trump supporter, which can result in your bank account being frozen. Protesters apparently are not backing down, and Dr. Byram Bridle reportedly called on all Canadians to now head to Ottawa to join the protests.

Desperate Trudeau Invokes Emergency Powers Act Effectively Declaring Martial Law Against Trucker Protests

Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau followed through with his threat to invoke the "Emergency Act" today as the Canadian Trucker Freedom Convoy protests entered its 3rd week and appears to be gaining wide support, not only in Canada, but around the world. This is an unprecedented move, as the Emergency Act has never been previously invoked since its passage in the 1980s. It is a temporary measure that gives the government broad powers to suspend civil rights, similar to Martial Law, including the power to restrict travel, enter and seize private property, arrest people, among others. Even before this announcement today, there have been reports of people being visited in their homes from police who have been monitoring people's speech on Facebook in regards to the protests. Here is one video. The Ambassador Bridge connecting Ontario with Michigan was reopened yesterday (Sunday, Feb. 13th), as police reportedly made some arrests in an early morning raid. It is not clear why it took them so long to open the bridge when there were actually very few protesters there, and the day before, Rebel News reported that protesters had already removed several vehicles to open up a lane for traffic. Some of the leaders of the Trucker Protests gave a Press Conference earlier in the day where they stated that they were not backing down, and were not afraid of the Canadian Government's scare tactics. Rebel News reported that several Canadian Provincial Premiers are opposing Trudeau in his invoking of the Emergency Act. Rebel News has also reported that Finance Minister Chrystia Freeland announced today that the Canadian Government is also going after the financing of the Trucker Convoy, including crowdfunding platforms and cryptocurencies. On Friday, the main corporate media outlet in Canada, CBC, published an interview with a "cybersecurity expert" who claimed that "Russian agents" were behind the Trucker protests. Is this media propaganda designed to create fear in Canada so that if war does break out in the Ukraine they can then orchestrate media blackouts to take more aggressive action against the protesters?

Canadian Government is Getting Desperate as Ontario Premier Doug Ford Declares State of Emergency over Trucker Blockades

Major border entries from Canada to the U.S. remain closed today, Friday, February 11th, as the Canadian Government appears to be reaching a point of desperation in their efforts to shut down the Canadian Trucker Freedom Convoy, as today Ontario Premier Doug Ford declared a state of emergency in Ontario, with yet more threats made against the protesters who seem to have become immune to the government's scare tactics. Announcing the stiffest penalties yet, Doug Ford has threatened the protesters with fines up to $100,000 and a year in prison if they don't stop the blockades.  Canadians, however, seem unfazed, fully understanding that they are indeed in control, and that the government does not have the resources to tow away their trucks nor arrest them all. 

Trucker Freedom Convoy Now up Against Both Canadian and U.S. Government as They Try to Seize Funds on New Platform

The Canadian Trucker Freedom Convoy continues on as the largest border between the U.S. and Canada remains closed, and the Biden Administration is reported to be getting involved now with Homeland Security, as hundreds of millions of dollars are reportedly being lost every day while the Ambassador Bridge remains closed.

Bank Of Canada Warns “Very Distressing” Bridge Blockade Could Impact Economy

At least one hundred protesters and dozens of vehicles blocked traffic between the busiest commercial crossing between the U.S. and Canada, the Ambassador Bridge, for the third day on Wednesday as some truckers have been given orders to re-route deliveries hundreds of miles to avoid logjams. "Problems for motorists heading toward the U.S. border continue. The Ambassador Bridge between Windsor and Detroit remains closed," according to CityNews Toronto's traffic reporter Kyle Hocking. Bank of Canada (BoC) Governor Tiff Macklem explained this afternoon that the Ambassador Bridge blockade is very distressing and could impact the economy. He said the disruption at the busiest commercial crossing between the U.S. and Canada could further strain supply chains.

Truckers Block Windsor-Detroit Border as Saskatchewan Premier Scott Moe Announces End of Vaccine Mandates

The Canadian Trucker Freedom Convoy entered its 11th day today, as two border crossings from Canada to the U.S. were closed down by protesters. Rebel News is reporting that the Alberta - Montana border at Coutts has been closed again, this time by farmers. The border crossing in Alberta was not the only border closed down overnight, however, as the bridge between Windsor and Detroit was also blocked and shut down. Ian Miles Cheong of Rebel News reports: "The Ambassador Bridge that connects Windsor, Ontario to Detroit, Michigan has been completely blockaded by a convoy of trucks protesting the COVID-19 vaccine mandates, which remains ongoing in Canada’s capital city of Ottawa. Efforts by the Freedom Convoy further in the north spilled over to the border crossing, the largest international suspension bridge and a major transportation artery between the United States and Canada as protesters blocked traffic on Monday evening. Speaking to the Detroit Free Press, Gregg Ward, the president of Detroit-Windsor Truck Ferry said that the bridge closing is unprecedented and that the last time the bridge closed for a protest was in 1990." Meanwhile, back in Alberta, Pastor Artur Pawlowski was arrested, again, as he tried to join the protesters in Coutts. Rebel News is reporting that he was arrested by an undercover SWAT team that had staked out his home in Calgary. In Saskatchewan, Premier Scott Moe announced today that all proof of vaccine mandates in Saskatchewan will end this coming Sunday. He did not reference the Truckers Convoy, but instead used the excuse that the COVID-19 vaccines were "not effective" in stopping transmission of the current variant, Omicron, and that therefore the mandates are no longer needed. Since he erroneously stated that the vaccines were effective for past variants of COVID-19, he obviously left the door open to issue mandates again in the future, and of course never mentioned just how deadly these shots are, especially for children. In fact, his Chief Medical Health Officer, Dr. Saqib Shahab, followed his remarks by encouraging children to get one of the deadly shots. However, Premier Scott Moe said it was "time to heal" and time for people in Saskatchewan to come together and stop judging their neighbors and others in their community for having differences of opinion on the wearing of masks and getting vaccines. Will this announcement now pave the way for the rest of the Canadian Government to end vaccine mandates while still "saving face" and not referencing the Trucker Convoy protests?

In Second Weekend Trucker Convoy Spreads to Other Canadian Cities as Ottawa Declares State of Emergency

The Canadian Truck Convoy entered its second week this weekend as protests spread to the other major Canadian cities, including Toronto, Quebec, Edmonton, Winnipeg, among others. Earlier today, Sunday, February 6th, Ottawa Mayor Jim Watson declared a "state of emergency" in Ottawa which apparently gives police in Ottawa the authority to arrest people trying to bring food and fuel to the truckers. Things don't appear to be winding down yet in Canada, but in fact spreading. And yet Canadian officials could end all of this in less than a day by simply ending the COVID Vaccine Mandates.

Occupy Ottawa Day 6: Truckers at Alberta-Montana Border Decide to Relocate their Protest to Edmonton at Premier Jason Kenney’s Place

The Trucker Freedom Convoy in Ottawa, Canada entered its 6th day today, as rumors spread that the Ontario Government might call in the military this weekend as crowds are expected to swell. Meanwhile, Rebel News is reporting that the standoff at the Alberta-Montana border is ending, and that the protesters, which include not only Truckers now but also farmers driving heavy farm equipment, are relocating to Edmonton, Alberta, at the home of Premier Jason Kenney.

Occupy Ottawa Day 5: Canadian Government Feeling the Pressure as Trucker Convoy Gains Momentum

The Trucker Freedom Convoy in Canada entered its 5th day today, as there appeared to be pressure mounting on politicians to take action as Truckers remained steadfast in their demands. The big news in Ottawa was that Erin O’Toole, the leader of the Conservative Party of Canada, resigned after 73 of 118 MPs voted to replace him. In Alberta where the border between the US and Canada has been blocked for the past few days, MLAs announced that they were going to meet with Alberta Premier Jason Kenney to end the mandates, in return for the Truckers opening up the border. The Truckers reportedly did open the border in good faith, but at time of publication there was no news that Kenney had ended the mandates yet, and some MLAs were calling for his resignation as well.

Occupy Ottawa Day 4: All Eyes on Alberta as Truckers Stand Firm Against Threats and Police Stand Down!

Today's update on the Trucker Freedom Convoy switches to where the most intense action has been for the past couple of days in Coutts, Alberta, where Truckers are finishing up their 4th day of protesting at the border between Alberta and Montana. The Truckers were actually blocked in by the police, so there seems to be some confusion as to who is actually closing the border. The Truckers were willing to open a lane, but the police originally did not want to negotiate. Yesterday, Canadian police sent two officers to negotiate with the Truckers, who had agreed to open a lane to pass through the border, and the police apparently promised the truckers that while they would not allow more vehicles to join their group, they would allow food to be brought into them. However, it was soon discovered that they did not make good on their promise, and Truckers had to brave blizzard like conditions to walk several miles to get food. When the officers returned, the Truckers repeated their demands, which are to end the vaccine mandates, and dismissed the police, who promptly left. Today, an attorney arrived to represent the Truckers in their negotiations, and the Canadian police sent two new officers, apparently tactical officers, who read their demands to the Truckers to surrender themselves immediately or face the consequences. The Truckers stood their ground, and the police had no choice but to retreat. They apparently made a tactical error by sending a multitude of SWAT teams and other forces which left the check points unattended, which allowed many of the hundreds of other truckers waiting to join them to come through and join the protest, including farmers driving tractors and other equipment. Rebel News has had people embedded with the Truckers the whole time giving multiple video reports and interviews throughout the four days, and they are also helping to support the Truckers with legal fees. I have compiled all of their video reports from the past four days into one video. These videos were posted on the Twitter account. Watch this incredible report to find out just who these Truckers really are, their commitment, their resolve, and their bravery which is the exact opposite of how the corporate media is portraying them. Thank you to Rebel News! I hope you have these reports in other places besides Twitter!
