I'm more concerned about the banks than the cops/troops at this point. There aren't enough cops in the country to crush every protest and blockade, in no small part because a few truckers + affiliated supporters can set up a new blockade as soon as they leave to deal with the next one, while there's clearly division in the ranks of the CAF that makes them unreliable in suppressing the convoys at best. They're gonna have to go through some more purges before they can be deployed in full against the citizenry.
But the banks can instantly inflict ruin on basically anyone the government sics them on for so much as posting a social-media message supportive of the truckers while being protected from civil liability, per Trudeau's conference. Backlash in the form of a bank run is almost certainly inevitable, and that in turn can spiral into the start of a depression in no time at all. If Canada manages to remain in one piece after the dust from all this settles, it will still likely take generations to recover from the damage Trudeau is doing to the economy and the people's perception of our government & institutions. And for all that, it is but the very start of the regime's salvo: the Emergencies Act lets them bring into play a lot of other, much worse stuff once they've gained absolute compliance from the security organs. As I've said before, it basically means anything and everything goes, including jailtime for six months to five years without trial, without lawyers and (in the six-month minimum case, officially anyway...) without even charges to justify it.
I'm not exaggerating when I say that this is the most wide-reaching, brazen, oppressive and unfounded power grab by any government in Canadian history; worse than the residential schools (the only other alternative anyone at the time was considering was to just ethnically cleanse/kill all the 'troublesome' First Nations), worse than the internment of Japanese Canadians during WW2 (since at least that had an actual major war going on to loosely justify it), and worse than Trudeau Sr. imposing martial law on Quebec in 1970 (since the FLQ were actual terrorists engaged in bombings, kidnappings and murders). The disaster is already in motion, the regime has already shut off the last off-ramps and is now hard at work completely dismantling them; all that remains now is to see how far they'll go and how much more damage Trudeau will inflict before he too goes down.
In other news, just as commies on Twitter & Reddit are claiming the truckers aren't
really working-class but 'petty bourgeoisie' and thus evil because as mainly owner-operators they own their own trucks, the CBC and other '''''experts''''' who I'm sure are totally not getting generous grants from Trudeau's regime at all
are trying very hard to redefine the word 'freedom' to rhetorically combat the convoys. These word games the left likes to play have done more to damage liberty than all the armies and police forces on the planet combined, and there are no words in any human vocabulary that can express how much I've come to despise them in just the last few weeks.
