The arrests at Coutts is up to 12 now. Among the firearms recovered were multiple sets of body armour, high-capacity ammuntion maagazines and even a machete. Nothing to see here. Move along now.

The following is a series of quotes from the premiers of Manitoba, Saskatchewan and Alberta as well as CPC members of parliament about the weapons and combat materiel:

 

 

Kenney's base so he won't do anything.

    The holocaust comparisons have me legit sick to my stomach. There is not one thing in Canada going on right now that compares to the start of the holocaust. No red flags. Not a one. They built the f

If it was harvest season 90 percent of them wouldn't be there however driving by it appears to be lots of very young people and people with signs that don't make much sense.  I really wish these people would stop pretending they represent the majority of people. 

The conservative premiers tho.. yup.. gotta vote them out folks. I'll take Wab over Heather eventho I dislike him too just not as much currently

The ranchers are in control. I think some of these truckers may just enjoy all of the hardcore gay porn they are being exposed to and THAT'S why they are really sticking around. They had every intention of going home to their families but 18 naked cowboys in a shower is a hard offer to turn down

I would love to see the gay community co-opt this occupation. A huge winter pride party all around the occupiers. Really press them on their espoused belief about personal freedom and "my body, my choice." I have a hard time believing many of the protestors actually believe in absolute personal freedom when it conflicts with their other deranged beliefs.

Truckers Resurrect Bananas Theory About Trudeau’s Real Dad

Americans have not cornered the market on bananas conspiracy theories. The Canadian truckers who blocked a bridge to the U.S. over vaccine mandates have seized one that was debunked ages ago about Justin Trudeau.

“There was a release of some of their online chat rooms and… they think that Fidel Castro is actually the biological father of Justin Trudeau, our prime minister,” Canadian author and frequent New Abnormal guest Jeet Heer tells co-host Molly Jong-Fast.

Molly, naturally, is flabbergasted. “I thought this was pretty stupid, but I had no idea,” she says of the so-called “Freedom Convoy."

Ridiculous Lauren Boebert Claims Freedom Convoy is “Representative of a People’s Yearning for Freedom”

Representative Lauren Boebert (R-Col.) once again defended the Freedom Convoy, the ongoing protest led by Canadian truckers who’ve pushed back against COVID-19 vaccine mandates.

The convoy has continued to garner headlines amid concerns that organizers and groups have been involved with white nationalist contingents, QAnon, and other far-right groups.

Boebert made the bold claim that the Freedom Convoy “is representative of a people’s yearning for freedom – something so many thought may have been all but lost to decadence.”

“I’m glad to see the will to fight for liberty is still alive and well!” she said sarcastically.

Since many provinces have now announced the removal of restrictions in short order and the blockades and protests continue,  it's obvious that there were other reasons why they are there.  I think it's a desire of of many of them to be involved in a Trump/ Maga type movement. That includes all the ugliness and hate that is deeply imbeded in that movement. I find it shameful and embarrassing to have the world watching this. I hope that there are many people moving away from supporting any  political party that is not actively fighting and resisting that movement.

No, probably not as there are too many social conservatives & Reformers still living in the 90's in that party. They also support the occupatiosn going on right now which I believe will be their fatal mistake.

I don't know where I'll park my vote. My 2 sons can't figure out what's happened to me as they are right wing Conservatives. I told them people change with age & experience. I'm a senior now. I'm not 35 when I was a piss full of vinegar Reformer. Today, I see cuts to healthcare. I see a moronic AB Premier who picvks fights with everyone & hasn't come through on one election promise. Dropping masking restrictions is just crazy. I can't stand Kenney. I thought O'Toole was a lying fool. (Hey, that rhymes). I'll never go back to the Conservative I was in 1993. 

There are still a fair number of Reformers for sure. However, AD just did a poll on support of the Freedom Convoy and 67% of those who identified as CPC voters stated they were strongly opposed to the Freedom convoy with a further 11% saying they had no opinion on it. It is left wing propaganda that the right is united in support of this. Far from it. Also, NDP has 17% of its voters polled say they were strongly in favor of the Freedom Convoy and Liberals 12%. There is support across the political spectrum and definitely the vast majority of Canadians, of ALL 3 parties. strongly opposing it. While the CPC certainly has the highest % of support amongst it's members it is still in the very small minority of it's membership and in line with what the overall national numbers of support/opposition is.

I think you are right in that there will be alot of regular Conservative voters that will be angry over this.  Will they move their vote ? Maybe. I have an extremely flexible vote that depends on the Leader and the issues of the time.  I have decided I can't vote Conservative Federally or Provincial again until they :

1- find proper leadership,

2- embrace the issues of the time, not the issues of the previous generation.

3-  can reflect the will of the general population ,

4- can convince me that they aren't willing to sell their soul ( and mine lol ) to just get elected.

I tend to agree. Personally, I protest voted in the last federal election because I just didn't want any of them but your concerns are probably in the back of the vast majority of CPC potential voters right now. I know many people who would swing back to the CPC if these issues were to sort themselves out favorably. Right now it's hold your nose and vote and many people are hoping the CPC becomes a viable alternative.
