"SNIP......

“Canadian police moved in Saturday morning to clear protesters at a vital bridge in Windsor Ontario connecting Canada and the United States,” the New York Times reports.

Axios: “It’s the strongest escalation by authorities after truckers, farmers and other protesters have blocked roads and portions of the busiest U.S.-Canada border crossing for days, cutting off key delivery routes and leading factories to shut down.”

.....SNIP"

Deputy Chief Jason Bellaire of the Windsor Police Service would not disclose the number of officers detailed to clearing the blockade, citing operational sensitivity. In an interview outside a police command center bus, he said five other police forces were assisting his department, as well as tow trucks sent across the border by the State of Michigan.

1. I hope they were all towed & arrested

[Bev54]

2. There was only 3 big trucks, the rest were cars.

They only had to tow one car. You can watch live

[ShazzieB]

22. Does this video ever actually show the vehicle being towed?

Thanks for the video link. I really appreciate it, but my ADHD brain won't let me watch much of it. :

It's almost an hour and a half long, and most of it seems to be crowds of people milling around and vehicles sitting in a road, narrated by a guy with an excruciatingly monotonous voice. (Also, he repeats himself. Like, a lot. A whole lot.) It's just...really hard to watch.

If there's a particular spot where something interesting happens? I tried fast forwarding and nothing jumped out at me, but I know it's easy to miss things that way. Tia!

23. It happened earlier and I watched in on the news.

They pushed the crowds back behind the vehicle then towed it away. There are a few pickups down the road where they continued to push the crowd so not sure if they have yet pushed them behind those and whether they will be towed or the owners will move them as well. Just got home so have not kept up with developments.

[ShazzieB]

28. Thanks for the info!

[tiredtoo]

26. I watched the full video saw nothing of interest. EOM

[Bev54]

27. I didn't, had to go out but no it only shows that these assholes are not really

very tough. The police just kept pushing them back without incident.

3. OK, if anyone gets run over protesting on a roadway, no sympathy here. Nt

[Traildogbob]

9. It's legal

In Florida and other red states thanks to DeDsatan and other trump Govs. Mount you snow plow on your truck and have some fun.

4. Freedom convoy banned in France,Belgium and Austria

Just heard on radio

[LoisB]

5. I wonder how much the auto plant shutdowns had to do with the police finally stepping in?

The auto companies were losing a lot of money.

[Bev54]

24. That is what made the provincial government to step up. Ford should have stepped up

immediately but he is not doing the same for Ottawa because he is conservative and he thinks it is hurting Trudeau more than him. He may have a surprise because he is bleeding support in an election year.

[LoisB]

25. Goodness, politicians can be so petty. What about his constituents? They are who he should be

concerned about, not Trudeau.

[Scrivener7]

6. This whole thing is an export from the USA. People must hate us.

[applegrove]

12. We know it is not a majority of the USA. We know it is not most

of you. And we need you desperately to play the role Biden and Obama played.

[Scrivener7]

13. I'm so glad to hear that. I see this spreading like a virus all over the

world. It breaks my heart.

Thank you for saying this.

[applegrove]

14. Putin has been spreading it too.

[Scrivener7]

15. Yes.

[applegrove]

16. In a way the US was targeted because it was/is the best promoter

of democracy in the world. The corrupt are fighting back against the fight against corruption.

[Scrivener7]

21. Hopefully we can stay that way.

[renate]

18. It's so reassuring to hear you say so

And very kind of you. Thank you!

[applegrove]

20. If anything TFG admin show us how vulnerable the world is

without Democratic and mixed market (Government and capitalism) economies. We were conned for 40 years.

[quakerboy]

7. All im saying is that we have a lot of vehicle theft and homelessness

And im pretty sure a truck would make a HUGE upgrade from a tent and tarps.

Lets match problem and problem into a solution!

[Traildogbob]

10. Problem solver

You have a place in leadership.

[calimary]

11. Now THERE'S an idea!

[Farmer-Rick]

8. Hey, why are they blaming us farmers now?

"It’s the strongest escalation by authorities after truckers, farmers and other protesters have blocked roads and portions of the busiest U.S.-Canada border crossing."

I guess some of us farmers are easily manipulated. But not all of us.

[gibraltar72]

17. Glad we could help.

[tiredtoo]

19. Saw an article saying Canadian Bank

Froze account holding donations for this BS operation. Hope they supply names and countries of donors.
