How organizers with police and military expertise may be helping Ottawa convoy protest dig in

It's a success that experts partly attribute to the deep knowledge of law enforcement and military tactics that exist in the convoy's organizational structure.

Furthermore, the leadership team for the protesters calling themselves the Freedom Convoy includes:

• Daniel Bulford, a former RCMP officer who was on the prime minister's security detail. He quit last year after refusing to get the vaccine and is the convoy's head of security.
  
  
• Tom Quiggin, a former military intelligence officer who also worked with the RCMP and was considered one of the country's top counter-terrorism experts.
  
  
• Tom Marazzo, an ex-military officer who, according to his LinkedIn profile, served in the Canadian Forces for 25 years and now works as a freelance software developer.

The day after the police raid, protesters continued to deliver fuel to downtown truckers as they executed a co-ordinated effort to exhaust police resources. Demonstrators pulled wagons full of jerry cans past officers who just watched.

Ottawa police Deputy Chief Steve Bell said demonstrators were "filling gas canisters with water to distract officers … attempting to subvert our efforts." He said one officer was swarmed while trying to confiscate fuel.

The FreeDumb Convoy has transformed into economic sabotage (livelihoods from supply chain blockage) and the deprivation of much needed health care for the needy (eg cancer patients). Since lives are literally at risk, it imay be time for aggressive, draconian tactics.

1. This is sounding like a planned insurrection.

Ahead of the convoy astro-turfing had already begun. I have family in Canada and began to see posts from them with links.

3. It's a slow motion coup that Trudeau isn't taking seriously enough. Nt

4. Nah, if anything, it is a gift.

This creates a huge backlash against the Conservatives and disenfranchise moderate, fiscal convervatives. Net-net, it increases the chances of Liberal and/or NDP governments at upcoming provincial elections ... as well as chances for majority Liberal government at federal level during next cycle.

7. I hope you're right, in the meantime, it's anarchy in Ottawa and at the border. Nt
