Canada police clear border protesters

Canadian police have begun an operation to clear a barricade on the main border crossing to the United States.

Protesters have been blocking the bridge for two weeks.

It follows a court injunction – making it a criminal offence to block the border crossing.

The Freedom Convoy protests began last month in Canada – with protesters calling for the abolishment of government overreach amid the pandemic.

This is now becoming a worldwide movement.
Truckers truly are the backbone of every country.
Let Freedom roll!

The police officers took an oath to “protect and serve the public “not the tyrants.Hopefully they will keep that in mind.

They didn’t care about the small businesses, but mess with the multinational companies and this is where it goes.

I live in Ottawa and the truckers have been nothing but peaceful. It's a protest for *Freedom*

He’s right people have the power not government

[johnf]

This is a genuine protest for health rights, and more importantly, a reminder that we are not subjects of the ruling class.

I was in Ottawa today. I can tell there are at least 500 hundred trucks all around the corners of streets and thousands of passenger vehicles... People are nice and respectful.

[jkyoft]

She fails to mention that no one from the Canadian government is talking to the protestors.

[kylemccormack]

I stood out by the highway and watched for HOURS as convoy fighters went by, every single person honking their horns, smiling, waving. Peaceful.

[hospo.warrior]

Hold the line, do not comply, Australia stands with you!

[kamalakelly]

Tyrannical system must be crushed, Go truckers go whole world is behind you

[janewang]

The whole world is watching what the Trudeau Government, the Ontario Government and the Canadian main stream Media are doing, it’s shameful, the history will record all what those evils did. Canadian polices, you are NOT the running dogs of Trudeau Government, please stand with our Truckers and all people who are fighting for freedom. As an immigrant and a Mom, I support our Truckers, they’re all heroes. Drive safe and stay safe 👍🇨🇦🙏💐🤝
