While I agree with the concept behind his message its just not valid. Any wrecker driver worth his salt is going to have caging bolts on his rig. They dont need "thousands" of them just 10 (or so). Put the bolts in releasing the brakes, tow, remove the bolts when they are done, go onto the next one. Its a slowdown for sure but its not going to stop anyone. Two guys can cage a rig in probably 5 mins.
A better strategy IMO would be to park as fucked up as possible. No straight shots, jackknife the truck into the trailer and Tetris the next truck into yours. If they have a hard time hooking up they wont be able to tow easily.

You really want to immobilize it ?

Take off the lug nuts before you jacknife it.

Canadian Truckers Remove One Massive Political Roadblock – Erin O’Toole Removed as the Conservative Voice, Meanwhile St Crispen’s Day Approaches​

The Canadian “Freedom Convoy” of truckers, representing the voices of the forgotten working-class men and women of Canada, have achieved a resounding victory today on behalf of Middle Canada. The conservative opposition in Canada has removed Erin O’Toole as opposition leader. This is a great first step in Canadian politics for the working class.

Erin O’Toole was a pathetically weak voice who refused to stand boldly on behalf of the working class protestors. Middle Canada has risen up and said enough, it is time for the insufferable government regulations to end and normal people to regain their freedom and liberty.
Instead of accepting the role of advocacy for the constituents he proclaimed to represent, Erin O’Toole instead showed his alignment with the government that was oppressing the people.

Yes, in the larger analysis, the truckers gained a massive victory today by removing a political pontificating pustule of pomposity. Well Done!

Ottawa police might need military aid to end downtown occupation, chief says​


Police aware of significant funding and participation in protest from U.S.​

"There is no lawful authority to seal a city, there's no practical capability to seal a city of this size," Sloly said, adding he'd need a police force of 50,000 officers to even attempt it.

"What happens here affects there and what happens there affects here," he said, referencing attempts to contain a trucker blockade in southern Alberta.
People across the country, as well as from other countries, have brought their frustrations with government response to the pandemic — all levels of government — to the nation's capital.
"I don't have a singular mandate in this city, this province or this country, to negotiate the end to any demonstration. There always needs to be an element outside of the police for any truly successful end to any demonstration, particularly one of this size," he said.

Worries build over economic impact of Alberta border blockade​


'We need that blockade to end and we need to get back to business,' says manufacturing spokesperson​


Alberta retailers and manufacturers are growing increasingly frustrated with protestors blocking an essential border crossing into the United States, warning that it's interrupting critical supply chains affecting both groceries and equipment.

"We're extremely frustrated," said John Graham, director of government relations for the Retail Council of Canada, which represents many grocery stores across the province.

Graham said retailers are beginning to see gaps on shelves, in particular perishable items that grocery stores expect to be delivered daily to keep things as fresh as possible, traveling significant distances from southern United States.

"We're going to see increasing shortages of certain items in the next coming days."

Ottawa Police Chief Opens Possibility of Using Canadian Military to Remove Freedom Convoy Protest Group​

Several days ago CTH presented the following meme/metaphor, because history has a tendency to rhyme:



1643853501071.png

Those who recognize and appreciate history will note that whenever hardline leftism is confronted anywhere in history, there always comes an inflection point when the ruling state police have to make a decision.
When the Chinese communists decided it was time to rid themselves of the dissident protests in Tiananmen Square, the local military encircled the student and academic activists in an effort to protect them (pictured above). However, the ruling Chinese officials were not happy, and sent for the Mongolian army divisions, those without familial connections in the movement, to do the dirty work. The rest of history you likely know.

In Ottawa, Canada, again another exhibition of confronting hardline totalitarian leftists, the voices of those within the Freedom Convoy movement are similarly not going to be deterred. The protestors want the government COVID dictates removed, they want vaccine passport rules dropped, they want mandated vaccinations and forced medical procedures stopped, and they want their freedom back.
Into this equation and confrontation, The Royal Canadian Mounted Police (RCMP) and local law enforcement are also unlikely to want to bring blood and violence upon the streets. However, the hardline leftists will not allow dissent to challenge their power. As history repeats, the local police are now opening the possibility of bringing in the military.

(CANADA STATE MEDIA) – […] Ottawa’s police chief says policing alone might not solve the ongoing, volatile occupation of the city’s downtown core that has lasted for nearly a week, and military aid might be necessary.

Whether Prime Minister Justin Trudeau triggers the use of the Canadian military to attack peaceful protestors within the city of Ottawa under the auspices of his authority and the national state of emergency, is yet to be determined. However, it is important to not let this moment in the discussion go without emphasis.
This looming question of violence is always the outcome when leftism is confronted.

Hardline leftists must impose their policy by force. There is not a single example throughout history when following socialism, communism, fascism or leftism writ large to its natural conclusion, does not end up with this type of dynamic. This always happens.
