(3,855 posts)Can you estimate how many days they blocked or severely slowed down traffic there?

(1,384 posts)Is like a soap opera. You have doug, now the premier of Ontario. You have Bill Blair, The Federal minister of emergency preparedness, formerly Toronto Police Chief, who went after Doug's bro, the crackhead mayor of Toronto. Doug & rob ford tried to have the chief fired, after the Toronto city council stripped rob ford of all of his powers. Of note, the current police chief of Ottawa was Bill Blair's deputy chief and was fired or resigned due to conflict with the chief over police budgets.
Now toss in doug ford's daughter, who is a huge social media supporter of the truckers....hope y'all studied this, there will be a pop quiz!

(8,804 posts)what was possibly/probably gonna happen on January 6th, why weren't the DC Police, Capital police, and National Guard outfitted like these officers, when the insurrectionists stormed the Capital. And a beefed up numbers of officers..........
It is a fact that someone from up above ordered them to NOT wear protective gear or weapons...
Who would those officer's names be, in the higher command positions, that ordered their Department' officers be stripped of a way to defend the capital and themselves.?????????
Those individuals are in a category that should be the MOST investigated and prosecuted........
Obviously, the whole thing was planned for weeks, maybe months ahead, from the top down.......and could not have been pulled off without them assisting the insurrectionists.......
