What then?

The truckers leave Ottawa.

And truckers – even those not currently in Ottawa – stay out of there, for at least nine meals.

Repeat with other major urban areas who have aligned with Brandeau.

The government and its guns will then have other concerns to focus on. OTOH any attempt to force enough truckers to return will reinforce the truckers’ message, that the government is embracing tyranny in its self-righteousness. The Tarkin Effect becomes significant.

The government does not “own” truckers. It can’t arrest them all. – not even close – but they can find other places to do business than in the urban feedlots.

I don’t know if even the majority of truckers understand the leverage they have on Brandeau and his fellow busybodies, in terms of passive Irish democracy.

Coutour

“What then?”

The government has guns and Canadians have been largely disarmed “for their own good”. I don’t think I have to draw you a picture, do I?

The Lefties are so desperate, they tried having their media lackeys blame the protest on “Russian agents provocateur” – same play book as Clinton in 2016. That claim has been replied to with general derision across the Dominion and hooted down.

BTW, what TV station logo is that…the Pacman Channel?

$75k does sound cheap, but it must be weighed against the damage.
He was suspended, with pay, for 4 months, not fired.

This was a settlement that he agreed to.

Trudeau will have to bend.

And if not? Then what?

My immediate reaction. “75K is selling freedom very cheaply”

Perhaps if he had sued for a million dollars that would have grabbed their attention.
Thanks Mr. Zimmerman.

“He covered his uniform”. Yep, and that was in his favor.
The Chief herself stated that the law regarding the uniforms has been inconsistently enforced.
So an admission from the chain of command, and that is why he was cleared.

“He is on video marching and holding signs, not praying the rosary.”
What is your basis for this statement?
I do not find any article that says he was not engaged in prayer.

In reply to Guy Faux. Guy Faux: You should read all the info at all the links. The double standard by the government here was blatant. It not only did not punish other officers for participating in BLM protests, without trying to hide their uniforms, it encouraged that participation. This guy won his case for that reason as much as for any other.

Ok so State law tells public employees not to protest while in uniform. His job is law Enforcement. He was in uniform. He tried to cover his uniform which implies he knew he shouldn’t be wearing it. He used his police cruiser(gov property) to travel to and from the protest. He is on video marching and holding signs, not praying the rosary.

Aside
Dear Mr Z,
It’s ok if you only want to post one sided articles that are clearly misleading and intentionally poorly researched. However you regularly go on other programs and proclaim you do not do this. You also claim that since you are so appalled at the blatant censorship of the big tech left on conservatives, that as long as a comment is not rude or crude you allow it. You would NEVER stoop to the level of the liberals in California and censor people who simply have opinions different than your own.
