Biden Urges Canada to Crack Down on Canadian Truckers

The Canadian truckers’ Freedom Convoy has knocked the vicious, totalitarian regime of Justin Trudeau back on its heels. When faced with popular and populist opposition to the expanding social and population control policies imposed by Trudeau (or, if you believe the rumors, Castreau) regime, the forces of fascism have begun to crumble. Four Canadian provinces–Alberta, Saskatchewan, Quebec, and Prince Edward Island–have repealed, all or in substantial part, their various mandates. The leader of the Canadian Conservative party has been defenestrated, and questions are being raised about the viability of Trudeau’s government (More Provinces Drop Restrictions, Trudeau Ripped Apart in Parliament).

All Trudeau has to offer is brutality used to enforce stupid policies.

Now, the Biden White House is weighing in and encouraging Canada to use “federal powers” to break up the protest.

 The Biden administration urged Prime Minister Justin Trudeau’s government Thursday to use its federal powers to end the truck blockade by Canadians protesting the country’s COVID-19 restrictions, as the bumper-to-bumper demonstration forced auto plants on both sides of the border to shut down or scale back production.

For the fourth straight day, scores of truckers taking part in what they dubbed the Freedom Convoy blocked the Ambassador Bridge connecting Windsor, Ontario, to Detroit, disrupting the flow of auto parts and other products between the two countries.

The White House said Homeland Security Secretary Alejandro Mayorkas and Transportation Secretary Pete Buttigieg spoke with their Canadian counterparts and urged them to help resolve the standoff.

Federal Public Safety Minister Marco Mendicino said Royal Canadian Mounted Police reinforcements are being sent to Windsor, Ottawa and Coutts, Alberta where another border blockade is happening.

Trudeau met virtually with leaders of Canada’s opposition late Thursday and said he spoke with Windsor’s mayor. Trudeau’s office said there is a willingness to “respond with whatever it takes” to end the blockades.

While I have a lot of sympathy for American businesses that the Freedom Convoy is disrupting, the bottom line is that their struggle is our struggle. What Trudeau has done in Canada, Biden and many Democrat governors want to do in the United States. Our ancestors once said, “we mutually pledge to each other our Lives, our Fortunes, and our sacred Honor,” in their struggle to end British rule of the original Colonies.

If we can’t suck up a little bit of pain to end this totalitarian bullsh**, especially after enduring lockdowns and mask and vaccine mandates, we are no longer worthy of calling ourselves the descendants of the men who gave us our freedom.
