They made 13 arrests at Coutts Xing and those are all very serious. There have been a number of arrests in Ottawa but I don't remember the number but it was for a myriad of offences. There will be more in Ottawa before this is over, I would expect some firearms charges there too.

Score one for the woke government, and zero for those fired "terrorist" truckers.
And another big zero for Representative Crenshaw.

They have no real problem solving ideas. Just obstruct, obfuscate, and generally fuck up civil society.
