    It's hard not to contrast the willingness of so many police & politicians to let these guys get their way with the treatment meted out to every Indigenous protest ever.https://twitter.com/kiansimone44/status/1488964338589315072 …

    BREAKING: Rural MLAs are meeting at 2pm to discuss lifting ALL mandates, in rural Alberta. That's if the truckers open a lane to the border. The truckers will be opening one lane, on standby to make sure the MLAs keep their word, they will shut it back down if not. pic.twitter.com/kXKaril4iD

        Especially because this ^ is essentially allowing terrorists to dictate provincial govt policy. Btw, very interesting how the group's goal supposedly changed from dropping Can truckers showing vax proof at ports of entry to dropping vax passport in rural AB.

        They would've Tear Gassed any Indigenous protest by Day 2. In Alberta, Kinny would've instituted Bill 1, before Lunch on the FIRST DAY. There would've been MASS ARRESTS, and EVERY SINGLE VEHICLE, would've been impounded.

        The RCMP would have cracked heads on day one. But, these are people who look like them. So, kid gloves.
