That was funny.

“None of us know how to use that goddamn bitcoin,” says one guy.

Ranchers vs Protesters.

For sure. The right and left appear to be equally open to getting taken advantage of by movements.

WE all fall for it apparently

To me this is about precedence.

If we're going to evoke the EA now, for this seemingly annoying yet nonviolent protest what protest do we not evoke it for in the future ?

Good video by Runkle of the Bailey, worth the 30 mins.

Peaceful. Only 11 though, certainly not representative of the rest of the freedom fighters.

Political satire.

Peaceful guns, democratic machetes seized from Alberta convoy protest

COUTTS, AB – Sources report that the RCMP have arrested 11 people at the Coutts border blockade who planned to peacefully participate in the democratic process with firearms, body armour and voluminous ammunition caches.

Pessimistic, you are. Look how far things had to go before the federal government ran for the mattresses. We had to get past the small sh!t like fires and mob assaults and autonomous zones down to the really dirty stuff, like street parties and honking and blockades before the trigger was pulled. This should nudge us up in the next freedom and democracy ladder rankings.

But at least a bar has been set: prevents people from going about their lawful business, impedes trade, at least a possible presence of people with arms who might be militant if provoked. Maybe an additional one: hinders free passage of international border. If those apply, Emergency On. Unless there's a rednecks-only clause.

I’ll let some of the real experts here analyze this.

Obviously they missed their left turn at Albuquerque and wound up at the Canada-US border instead of the Ukraine-Russian one.

It needs no expert analysis. All that matters is how does it look? And it looks bad.

If there's one event which will make the current government's case on their small arms policy, this is it.

The police should hire one of those Instagram influencers to set their pictures up better.

That stuff certainly looks tactically scary.

Someone walked into a high school in Scarborough today and blew away an 18 year old kid with a gun then fled.

I'm sure we can guess which story will be forgotten by tomorrow.

Folks at Coutts are better equipped than the CAF.

I don't know about that. We had machetes every bit as good as that one.

For the record, from the info-machine

Federal Government declares a public order emergency under the Emergencies Act to end disruptions, blockades and the occupation of the city of Ottawa - Canada.ca

The Government of Canada’s top priority remains to keep people and communities safe, and to protect jobs, trade, and our economy.

Is this the same Alberta RCMP that used a flood to illegally enter homes and seize firearms from people who evacuated?
