In an interesting turn of events, the Po-Po has taken a page from the Trucker’s playbook. Drivers have been blockading border crossings, so the Police just blocked the Ottawa Camps main supply route and then took all their gas and propane away.

I support the effort, but you must admit that this is a clever play by local law enforcement.
It could chill the whole exercise forcing a peaceful disassembly of the protest.
No, I don’t think that’s the end of it. The human spirit can be very resourceful. They came all this way and have been at this for a week. They seem willing to tough it out until they get some concessions. As long as the Police don’t get rough, it won’t go sideways, and people will find a way to work around the latest move by the Government.
The Trucker protest has woken up the silent majority in Canada who support health care freedom. I don’t think this is going to end anytime soon.
