These fuckers are now disrupting traffic to Ottawa's airport.

[Tommy Carcetti]

It's repulsive.

Protesters target Ottawa airport as 'Freedom Convoy' occupation reaches 14-day mark

A group of truck convoy protesters made their way to the Ottawa Airport on Thursday morning, the latest expansion of the demonstration as it reaches the end of its second week.

The truck drivers arrived at the airport shortly after 8 a.m. and began driving slowly around the loop at the airport and honking their horns, in both the arrivals and departures lanes.

One of the organizers said on a live feed of the demonstration that they planned to stay and slow-roll the airport for "hours."

An airport authority spokesperson said about 60 to 70 light trucks were circling the arrivals and departures roadways, and advised people with travel plans to give themselves extra time.

1. All they have to do is piss off some Canadian oligarchs.

[Carlitos Brigante]

3. Exactly. Some might be supporting this for their own greedy, shitty ends. As usual. But

don't fuck with their money.

[Carlitos Brigante]

2. This will either turn into a larger movement. Or will piss everyone else off so much. That

it'll have the opposite effect. Hoping for the latter.

[Rebl2]

4. Heard

news on radio (maybe WBBM) there might be a group of truckers trying to do same thing around super bowl in Los Angles. Don’t know if this is true because haven’t heard it anywhere else.

[XanaDUer2]

6. That'll get ugly nt

[uponit7771]

9. I pray DHS gets ahead of this and starts to label these assholes here ahead of time

[appleannie1]

21. I heard the same thing

[AngryOldDem]

30. It was mentioned on MSNBC last night.

DHS is monitoring, I’ve not seen/heard anything more.

Never saw so many ignorant assholes in all my 61 years on this planet. If people here try to copy their Canadian brethren, all bets should be off.

Speaking of Canada, if they spread this cancer to Detroit, that is going to be felt like a shockwave.

Damn these MFers.

[2Legit]

34. I heard the same thing.

The first thing I thought was obstructing people who paid $10,000 to go to the Super Bowl is opening up a can of whoop ass for real. Messing around with Ottawans is one thing, Los Angelinos are a completely different animal altogether.

[SergeStorms]

40. Especially wealthy Los Angelelinos.

You know that stadium will be filled with well healed right-wingers who can't wait to be seen.

They aren't going to take kindly to a bunch of truckers fucking up their conspicuous display of wealth.

[Leghorn21]

5. Apparently they've been cleared out

Link to tweet

But who knows what they’ll fuck up next

[redstatebluegirl]

7. Why can't they be arrested?????

I don't get it, they are blocking commerce for crying out loud!

[thatdemguy]

17. Because its not illegal if they keep moving

It said they slow rolled. Traffic laws have max speeds in areas like that but not minimum speeds.

[AngryOldDem]

31. I thought moving roadblocks were illegal.

[Gore1FL]

36. I would have to think there would be traffic regulations at most airports for things like this.

Especially post 9-11.

If nothing else, they should be able to do "random" vehicle searches to the trucks at each pass.

[ruet]

48. Ask Taxi and Gig Drivers How That Works.

Hint: It doesn't.

[mopinko]

8. stupid targeting. downtown may not have tow truck big enough,

but, um, airports?
make em park those suckers in the short term lot and pay to get them back.

[Bev54]

25. There are big rig tow trucks everywhere, what is actually happening is they are

making threats to these tow truck drivers and their families that is scaring them off working with authorities. They will need to, at some point, bring in the army big rigs. I am sure they are trying to figure out how to do this with minimum violence, with many having children in the trucks.

[Blues Heron]

10. they are such whiners

what happened to buck up, take one for the team, lets all pull together to stop this deadly virus? So tired of these and the mask whiners and their little tantrums.

[IronLionZion]

22. Looking out for others is socialism

conservatives chose to do the opposite to make the pandemic worse and last longer.

[Bev54]

26. conservatives are using this as an excuse to try and change the government and get Trudeau to resign

This is not about mandates at all, many of these people are already vaccinated, this is their attempt at a coup.

[Blues Heron]

49. So true ILZ

[Samrob]

11. Isn't that a national security emergency? And shouldn't Trudeau call out the military?

i don't know anything about Canadian laws but this seems to be an appropriate time to nationalize whatever forces they have to end this insanity.

[Bev54]

29. It may very well come to that but they will try other options first.

[Beachnutt]

12. Arrest them and impound the trucks

and throw em in a jail cell full of covid...
they'll get the vaccine then.

[Crunchy Frog]

13. Until they have some limits placed on them

they will keep taking things farther and farther, because they know that no one will stop them and there will be no consequences.

The same thing will happen in this country, only worse.

We'd better be bracing for massive disruptions, and don't expect anyone to do anything about them.

[not fooled]

39. Yep

it's like an invading force occupying a city, only with trucks instead of tanks.

Decades of kowtowing to RWNJ wackos and letting them get away with lawbreaking shit leads to this.

Moronity....

[Leith]

28. You misspelled moronity

But that's okay.

[Me.]

45. Yes But Not The Way You Think

[AngryOldDem]

32. +1,000,000

The moronocracy. The dumbocracy.

Tired of these assclowns holding sanity hostage.

[Me.]

53. ...

[dalton99a]

15. Evict the assholes - use this:

[AZLD4Candidate]

18. These fake "patriotic" Canadians want to invoke a civil war in Canada

When they are finally broken up, watch them cry Big Brother and all the other crap.

[Sneederbunk]

19. Large targets.

Where are the eggs and assorted rotten fruits and vegetables?

[IronLionZion]

20. They are breaking laws and their vehicles can be seized

Trudeau is showing tremendous restraint compared to Trump's tear gassing, mass arrests, rubber bullets, etc. against protestors in 2020.

[Bev54]

27. Yes he is, he is not a cowboy but he will not back down from them.

[msongs]

23. as compared to marchers who go onto freeways and shut them down? nt

[sarisataka]

24. Shhh....

Not denying that the treatment each group gets if different, but we don't talk about similarity of actions.

[Torchlight]

51. As similar as two strangers wearing shirts.

Telescope, microscope, or just eyes.

[rockfordfile]

33. Well those racist pos are trying to keep a virus around killing other people

Not to mention supporting basically a enemy of Canada, Russia, with trying to disrupt their economy. The same crap they did here in USA and Europe.

[Kali]

38. I was kind of thinking about the reactions of these same people to those kinds of protests

all the whining about blocking traffic and now here is the right all in on similar tactics.

[Silent3]

43. If any protestor, on our side or not, seriously impedes traffic for any significant duration...

...they have to except to be arrested for it and hauled away. No one should be brutal about how that's done, but being cleared out should be expected.

I think most left wing protestors do expect to be arrested, or are at least prepared to pay that price for civil disobedience.

If you're blocking traffic with a vehicle and not your body, I think you should fully expect to get it taken from you and impounded.

[maxrandb]

46. Why yes! Tell us how many freeways the marchers shut down for 14DAYS!!!!

or, were they cleared out in about an hour by law enforcement or the National Guard.

[Torchlight]

50. Fallacious comparison. Freeways were not shut down for 10+ days.

So, no... not as compared to marchers

[BlueIdaho]

35. When do these drivers lose their Commercial Drivers Licenses?

Willfully obstructing international routes and impending air travel with their trucks seems like reason enough to make someone a former long haul trucker.

[Aussie105]

37. The commonality between these 'freedom' groups in different countries is far too obvious

to let it pass.

How are these different groups communicating, and who is funding them?

[Evolve Dammit]

41. Lock em up. And do the same for the ones planning/doing the US convoy coming soon. n/t

[DENVERPOPS]

42. And these assholes

have been invited by Trump to America to do the same in Washington DC and other major cities......

If they come, maybe we can assemble a group of the DC police, Capitol Police, and National guard members that witnessed the Insurrection at the Capitol. Make them into a task force, fully armed this time with protective gear and tell them to resolve the situation.....

[The Jungle 1]

44. We do not let known terrorist into our country

Ban everyone of them.

[budkin]

47. BUT FREEDOM!

CONVOOOOOOY!!!

[lamp_shade]

52. They need to have their tires blown out.

Just sayin'

[Trueblue1968]

54. wreck their tires.
