However ...

There are some people who have simply had it up to their eyebrows with everything involving this global house-arrest.

Cases in point:

Trucks are once again slowing traffic at the Ambassador Bridge, as part of national trucker protests against lockdown mandates.

Windsor police have issued an online alert asking drivers to avoid Huron Church Road due to a heavy presence of slow moving vehicles.

Cross-border traffic via the Ambassador Bridge has at times been at a virtual standstill, stemming from difficulties travelling on Huron Church as truck drivers and others are again staging a similar protests.

 

Also - don't worry, Doug. It will only take two weeks to flatten this:

  


But your government justified suing your comrades:

“I didn’t serve this country to be bullied by a prime minister that ran away like a chicken,” Darryl, a retired corporal from the Canadian Army who served in Afghanistan, said while supporting the Freedom Convoy demonstration in Ottawa, Ontario.

Darryl, holding a Canadian flag and wearing a military uniform, warned of Canada’s global reputation being undermined by Prime Minister Justin Trudeau avoiding the thousands of Canadians gathered on and around Parliament Hill. The ongoing protest is a coalescence of Canadians opposed to varying government decrees — marketed as health and safety measures to prevent coronavirus transmission — restricting constitutional freedoms.

 

 

Oh, burn:

Every company on the City of Ottawa’s standing list of tow truck drivers is refusing requests to take heavy vehicles associated with the so-called “Freedom Convoy” out of the downtown core, according to a top city official.

Ottawa has a list of companies with a standing offer to provide tow services on the municipal dime.

But city manager Steve Kanellakos told reporters Monday evening that those operators have unilaterally said “no” to the city’s requests amid the ongoing demonstration snarling Ottawa’s downtown, now in its second week.

“We’ve contacted them all and they’re all refusing … to provide heavy tow truck work,” Kanellakos said in a press conference following a special city council meeting.
