And US cops and Nat'l Guard would've long since cleared those trucks out of the city.

(61,033 posts)nation, the citadel of capitalism, will not allow the flow of commerce to be stopped for a prolonged length of time. And though some republicans have been urging truckers to do it here for days now, it hasn't happened. And if it does, Nat'l Guard tanks, local LEOs and tow trucks will clear them away.
The US doesn't do Canada nice. It won't happen here for any prolonged period.

(60,320 posts)"Monied interests" had no stake in that?

(60,320 posts)... but more the same than you might think.
We'll have to see if any convoys get rolling, because if they do, there can be standoffs and "events". The aggressiveness of the "security forces" can be matched by the extremism of the ones who oppose the "gubmnt".
How about the Malheur occupation in 2016? How long did it take to get them out and arrested?
Oh, wait, it was longer.
Wait, how many trucks involved? A few pickup trucks? Well, sure, they don't pose the opposition that 400 big rigs pose. Coulda, woulda, shoulda swept them all up sooner?
Any children there? Hmm, none that I remember.
Sure, you will tell me that "the monied interests" have no stake in Wildlife refuges, but that's not the point. The point is, what are disaffected extremists capable of in the United States?
You think a US convoy wouldn't have children with them? Wouldn't have partisans in the countryside with rifles and scopes converging on a blocked interstate?
Do you think some of the monied interests like chaos? Does Elon Musk meet your criteria for "monied interest"? Look up what he has said about Trudeau. Think his bread is buttered in Texas or China?
So you have monied interests who want chaos and other monied interests who can't clamp down adequately on chaos examples like Bundy's and Malheur.
Your "monied interests" were funding the occupiers in Ottawa.
Your Senators would ensure law and order right? Including the ones publicly calling for convoys and blockages in the US. Unh hunh.
What is Gov. Abbott's stance about convoys and convidiots?
Did your "monied interests" like the results of Jan 6 or loathe it?

(61,033 posts)Get back to me when it does, when there's even a peep out of the truckers here.
