The Royal Canadian Mounted Police (RCMP) are the federal police for Canada. As many local law enforcement communities have refused to move against their own citizens, the Canadian government is now deploying the RCMP against the Alberta trucker blockade.
The border crossing between Coutts, Alberta (CA) and Sweet Grass, Montana (USA) continues to be blocked as truckers allied against COVID-19 restrictions and vaccine passports are united. The Alberta protests are in support of the larger trucker protest taking place in Ottawa.
Tensions are increasing as the truckers are refusing to move, but the RCMP has vowed to get rid of the blockade. Supporters for the truckers are working through freezing temperatures to keep them supplied with food and fuel to keep the blockade in place. Even farm tractors have joined the effort.
The standoff continues as the RCMP have been reluctant to forcibly arrest the rather hardened and burly truckers. There is also a legal defense fund established to assist the truckers against any criminal charges. [SEE HERE]
Canadian state media, aka the CBC, are trying to frame the protesting truckers as villains and violent fringe extremists. However, after calling the essential working truckers heroes previously, the majority of the Canadian people, specifically the people in/around the Alberta province, are not buying the nonsense from the CBC as supported by the leftist government of Prime Minister Justin Trudeau.
(Via CBC) – RCMP have approached a blockade of vehicles that has jammed traffic for days at a Canada-U.S. border crossing in Alberta after warning that those participating in the protest may be subject to arrest Tuesday afternoon.
[…] RCMP Cpl. Curtis Peters confirmed to CBC News that enforcement has begun, although it is unclear what that will entail. (more)
Rebel News has journalists embedded with the trucker blockade in Alberta and has been tweeting about the standoff.
Will Prime Minister Justin Trudeau or provincial Alberta officials authorize the RCMP to violently remove the protesting truckers?
Perhaps. However, that could backfire as there is an endless supply of sand in the hands of blue collar Canadians to throw into the economic machinery.
