Biden Calls on Canadian Government to Crush Peaceful ‘Freedom Convoy’ Protest
by Kyle Becker about an hour ago
The Biden administration is calling on the Canadian government to put an end to the ‘Freedom Convoy’ movement. It represents an escalation of the U.S. and Canadian goverrnments’ efforts to crush the peaceful protests.
The White House on Thursday called on the Trudeau government to use its federal powers to “end the truck blockade by Canadians protesting the country’s COVID-19 restrictions,” the AP reported .
Homeland Security Secretary Alejandro Mayorkas and Transportation Secretary Pete Buttigieg discussed the situation with Canadian officials. They urged their Canadian counterparts “to use Federal powers to resolve this situation at our joint border,” the report noted.
The protests have even forced automobile factories to scale back production, as Michigan Governor Gretchen Whitmer is offering to intervene to end the trucker-led embargo. She issued the following statement on the standoff.
“My message is simple: Reopen traffic on the bridge,” she said.
“It is imperative that Canadian local, provincial, and national governments de-escalate this economic blockade,” she added. “They must take all necessary and appropriate steps to immediately and safely reopen traffic so we can continue growing our economy, supporting good-paying jobs and lowering costs for families.”
Tucker Carlson on his show Thursday reported back-channel talk that the Whitmer regime may be offering the Canadian authorities heavy equipment to forcibly remove tractor trailers.
The Freedom Convoy has successfully pressured two Canadian provinces into lifting tyrannical Covid restrictions, but the Premier of Ontario has made it clear he doesn’t intend to make it a third.
The premier for Canada’s most populous province, Doug Ford, issued an order on Thursday. The premier’s statement reads as follows:
“Today, the Attorney General brought an application in the Superior Court of Justice for an order pursuant to section 490.8 of the Criminal Code prohibiting any person from disposing of, or otherwise dealing with, in any manner whatsoever, any and all monetary donations made through the Freedom Convoy 2022 and Adopt-a-Trucker campaign pages on the GiveSend Go online fundraising platform.”
“This afternoon, the order was issued,” the premier said. “It binds any and all parties with possession or control over these donations.”
The GiveSendGo campaign for Freedom Convoy 2022 had just cleared 8 million dollars .
On Thursday night, GoSendMe issued a fiery retort to the Canadian government.
“Know this! Canada has absolutely ZERO jurisdiction over how we manage our funds here at GiveSendGo,” the company wrote. “All funds for EVERY campaign on GiveSendGo flow directly to the recipients of those campaigns, not least of which is The Freedom Convoy campaign.”
GoFundMe has seized more than $10 million in funds for Freedom Convoy 2022 that was intended to fund truckers standing up for Canadians’ human rights. The left-wing crowdsourcing platform claimed that the “peaceful demonstration has become an occupation” now.
The Ottawa Police department claimed responsibility for telling GoFundMe to shut it down.
GoFundMe states that it is allowing refunds or allowing the money to be sent to “credible charities.” The platform does has a message for people to “ submit a request ” to get their donations back.
State attorney generals are now investigating crowd-sourcing platform GoFundMe for alleged fraud for claiming the Freedom Convoy 2022 fundraisers had violated its Terms of Service.
The Ottawa Police have been ratcheting up their pressure on the peaceful protesters, even going so far as to confiscate fuel and firewood.
“Ottawa police had issued a warning earlier Monday that ‘anyone found bringing fuel to the demonstration trucks in the red zone could be subject to arrest and charges,'” the Daily Mail reported .
On Sunday, Ottawa Police and a SWAT team raided a camp to seize fuel.
MSNBC has smeared the Freedom Truckers as “insurrectionists ,” and the network is warning that the same might happen to the Biden administration during the Super Bowl.
“Meanwhile, the U.S. Department of Homeland Security (DHS) is hearing rumblings that the protests could arrive stateside around Super Bowl Sunday,” the Daily Mail reported.
“DHS is warning law enforcement and public safety that a ‘prolonged trucker convoy’ protesting vaccine mandates could begin on February 13, when the Super Bowl is scheduled to be played at SoFi Stadium in Los Angeles,” the Mail added.
“The convoy could severely disrupt transportation, federal government, and law enforcement operations through gridlock and potential counter protests,” the DHS warning states in a classified document that was obtained by Yahoo News .
It is a sad day for free people everywhere when the one-time ‘shining city on a hill’ is calling on another nation’s government to crush peaceful protests.
The United States of America used to be the land of the free and the home of the brave. But under the Biden regime, it is the land of petty tyrants and the home of gutless cowards.

I don't know why Joe would do this. With covid seeming to wind down Joe needs to look for other excuses why the economy and general state of affairs sucks so bad. Blocked traffic in Canada is as good as anything else he has come up with. It is definitely better than blaming it on car chips being made overseas.
He may soon get to send DHS brown shirt goons out to rough up Americans doing this kind of peaceful protest.
Unless they loot, burn and say it is being done for "Social Justice". Then they will let it go.
True. This is the “wrong” crowd for the “wrong” reasons. Expect the Jack boots and much sooner than later compared to Trudeau
[Deleted]
So the totalitarian Jack booted thugs who run both our nations federal government and their branch covidian cult enforcers want to crush a workers peaceful protest.
I read this morning that the trucker protest is very unpopular with the people of canada
I read this morning that the trucker protest is very unpopular with the people of canada
You read the wrong news source. They are the working class people of Canada
The fact that they raised aver 15 million dollars would not reflect the people of Canada are against it.
I think you meant to say he read the wrong "news" source.
They are a minority of the minority of the working class.
In the meantime Ontario's deeply conservative Premier:
Feb 11 (Reuters) - Canada's Ontario province declared a state of emergency on Friday, amid the ongoing trucker protests against COVID mandates, Premier Doug Ford told reporters.
"I will convene Cabinet to use legal authorities to urgently enact orders that will make crystal clear it is illegal and punishable to block and impede the movement of goods, people and service along critical infrastructure," Ford said in a press briefing.
Ford also pledged new legal action against protesters, including fines and potential jail time for non-compliance with the government's orders.
You are correct
Yeah, the 'freedom convoy'
is essentially squatting in downtown Ottawa - or whichever part of Ottawa they are squatting in - and terrorizing the inhabitants who just want to go about their day to day lives but they have to deal with this menace.
Who aren't working - they're squatting and terrorizing whichever part of Ottawa they're squatting in.
It's a mixed bag split along partisan divides with the strongest support coming from the young which is of no surprise as the impetus of youth is to party at whatever looks like a rave with a possibility of getting laid.
Now maybe you will begin to understand what people in some northwest US cities were having to endure, all while liberal Democrats gave their blessings to the occupiers.
Maybe.
The truckers and farmers need to stay until they get what they came there for. If the government resorts to force the truckers should simply boycott deliveries to any businesses in the capital until the grocery stores are empty…
Nope. Wrong people doing the protesting and wrong government being protested and that they are challenging the high priests of the branch covidians, they will resort to force before more Governors cave in
That will certainly endear them ... @!@
There is no menace. This isn’t the urban America of spring to fall 2020 there.
Is it a mostly peaceful event with the city burning in the background and all the shops window fronts broken and their wares looted?
What do Canadians think about American fascists demanding that a small group of malcontents disrupt Canadian life?
No, but the potential of looming starvation may be what it takes to bend the will of secular progressive urban elites to the needs of the working class
Our fascists run Washington DC and blue states…
Hopefully they'll give as much credence to those infamous American fascists as we here in the states do---none!
Seems silly to worry about such a tiny percentage of folks with no power.
They're a menace. Doing absolutely no good whatsoever. Just creating harm.
Like the occupiers in Portland you cheered on?
What do they plan to do, hold a gun to the truckers head and make them drive and deliver goods.
Comment 3.1.21 is idiotic.
As usual, you missed the whole point of my comment.
Carry on...
We became used to it after the Fenians raided us.
Comment 3.1.29 epitomizes blather, and density.

It's interesting when some people tell people in other countries what they should do. Especially when they have said this:
Hypocrisy much?
You consistently say such things.
I don't worry about silly opinions.
especially coming from one worried about fascists behind every rock.
Those living in blue states, counties, and cities literally do have them behind or under every rock
You're obviously referring to the author of this lunatic comment:
And this lunatic comment:
No, because American truckers are soon to be emulating those in Canada.
[deleted]
The only mystery is how feeble-minded, delusional reactionaries are able to function in daily life.
Removed for context
Like this!
When did we demand that the Canadian truckers defend freedom, liberty, and individual rights?
Actually it like it’s author are incredibly smart and well reasoned.
No, that would be comment 3.1.30 that does what you described
The truth is what I said it was and I proudly stand by the content of all that I have said. It was sheer brilliance after all
Removed for Context
85% of Canada's truckers, the major trucker's association Canadian Truckers Alliance and the Ontario Truckers Organaization DISAGREE with the rogue truckers, so I don't think deliveries to grocery stores will be a problem.
Because everything I said about those places and the majority of those representing it and majority of those living there is absolutely true!
No, the 15% of Canada's truckers who are the rogues who try to starve the population will simply lose their jobs and the deliveries will be carried out by the 85% who are intelligent individuals more concerned with bringing an end to the pandemic than personal glory.
After all the brouhaha about how the NYCPD and NYCFD would be decimated by Covid-19 vaccination mandates less than 3% left...
The anti-vax anti-mask minority talks big and accomplishes zip.
What is plainly obvious to me is that you are wrong again. Had I been referring to that comment, I would have replied to THAT comment instead of yours.
I like to direct my comments TO the person I address.

Funny how the left forgets about that.
And now our northern neighbors are resorting to martial law to deal with the wrong kind of people actually peacefully protesting for the “wrong” things
Me too.
I imagine they are relying on a swift resolution with that kind of declaration. This has the potential of ending very badly for the Canadian government.
And the sad thing is, all Trudeau had to do was meet with them and work something out. Instead he ran like a coward.
I wonder what GoFundMe deems a "credible charity".
In an OPINION piece.
Opinion is news on MSNBC and CNN.
And anonymous sources are credible.
Yes if they advance a cause favored by the bi coastal urban progressive elites…
MSNBC learned a new word and are going to milk it for as long as they can. CNN is right there with them.
Their mothers must have thrown a dictionary into the basement and they actually picked it up.
Thank God for Give Send Go!
Rand is right! We can’t wait to see these truckers go to blue areas still imposing any kind of restrictions to protest on our behalf.
Rand is a fucking moron - like all the 'freedom convoy' truckers.
Los Angeles, Washington DC, and NYC should be the focal points of an American trucker effort along with a side show around Portland and Seattle.
[deleted]
Rand is right. Soon Biden will have to deal with the issue here!
Exactly. Take the truckers to the heart of blue America
[Deleted]
Well said and right on too.
Ironic.. The same people that support these idiot truckers are the same people that whined and cried about supply chain problems. Some people will cry about anything and everything as long as it supports an agenda.
The supply chain will resolve as soon as we and the truckers get all China virus mandates and restrictions lifted all across America.
Back to the topic which is Biden pressuring Trudeau to bring an end to the convoy, if I can dream up an answer that Trudeau SHOULD give him, it would be this:
"I know I don't have balls like my father did and whatever you tell me to do with China and Chinese citizens like politicizing the Olympics and interfering with China's domestic affairs and arresting the CFO of Huawei I'll do because I'm your poodle but on this one let's make a deal. I'll stop the convoy if you pay Alberta the $1.3 billion that you fucked Alberta out of when you cancelled the XL Pipeline that the USA had agreed to and then misled Canada into spending building it."
Biden Calls On Canadian Government To Crush Peaceful ‘Freedom Convoy’ Protest
The Prime Minister of Canada specifically said the Canadian protests were not peaceful.
Oh, well, then, if HE says it, it MUST be true because he wouldn't have any political agenda or anything---right?
LMAO!!!
What violence occurred during the protests? I don't find anything to indicate violence from the protestors. Not saying it didn't happen but it would sure help if you could provide some proof. Otherwise all we have from your comment is that the president or prime minister (or any politician) can say something and it becomes true.
Not violence. He said peaceful...........and they were honking their horns. That's noisy not peaceful. The horror. /S
Where exactly is this violence occurring?
It isn’t and he and the left here and there know it full well.
Who cares what he says about anything. He took a knees to violent protesters almost a couple years ago, and now he wants to place his knee on the necks of actual peaceful protesters.
He lied.
