Former military & intelligence officers are helping to run the Ottawa Flag of Canada occupation.

Former military & intelligence officers are helping to run the Ottawa Flag of Canada occupation.

Tight relationships with law enforcement...who have underestimated the threat.

Sound eerily familiar yet?

Canadian "Oath Keepers." Police forces and the military are not a stronghold of liberal values. The right coopeted the disease and the vaccine to further their Fascist doctrine. Create hate and and offer an outlet for it. It will continue to grow until liberals learn to push back in a way that the far right understands. As long as they consider us "snowflakes" the violence will escalate; it is what bullies do.

Will the military follow Trudeau’s orders if he calls them in to resolve the crisis?
