    The voice of the Totalitarian ... when folks protest Gov't actions .. bring in the military.
    Trudeau needs brains - and balls - is the weak who resort to using the military

    Of course the Gov't can .. and is capitulating .. and is the right thing to do .. The day is coming when these mandate clowns will get what is coming to them for their anti science control freak show .. Just watch .. Even Trudeau's own caucus is rebelling against him ..

    And one last thing about the "Balls" .. Justin is in the process of becomming a woman .. which is why his wife left him.

    Whom do you suppose would "offer mucho bucks" whatever those are, and why would they? Whom do you suppose would see value in that offering?

    You really can't grasp the reality of the situation.
    You think the truckers are so week kneed they will all just fold if a few trucks are towed? You don't know anything about truckers.
    Not to mention you don't understand that no tow truck will hook up to a tractor without the expressed written permission of the owner as damages to tractors can be in the thousands of dollars from towing and the tow company would be responsible for those damages. Even if ordered to do so by a judge.

    The minute you even attempt to start hooking up trucks you are going to have a massive fight on your hands that will make the local government look like a bunch of idiotic bullies.

    You're comparing building war planes and tanks to people wearing mask?
    Have things become that desperate?

    If those truck drivers don't want you to move their trucks, you are NOT going to move their trucks. Period. I'm a truck driver, and if we want to we can make it insanely difficult for you to so much as budge that truck...

    Even IF this would happen, and it won't since companies refuse to tow them away... Let's say that 200 trucks get towed. Let's say that 200 more trucks who were previously "on-call" responded by re-filling those spots. Now what are you going to do?

    Just as Unions won't cross another union's lines, so Freedom and Liberty Tow Truck Drivers won't tow Freedom and Liberty Truckers.

    Maybe the forces of Government Tyranny can round up some scabs?

    #JOURNALISM: How truck convoy supporters like Pierre Poilievre have weaponized ‘freedom.’

    When the left does this, they tell us “this is what democracy looks like,” and the press cheers them on. Now we get scare quotes around freedom. My response to this running dog of the Establishment: No justice, no peace! The people, united, will never be defeated!

    All it takes is a ratchet strap and a 7/16" wrench to ensure that you'd have to move my truck with a Chinook....

    ... and wouldn't that be horrible optics towards Trudeau that he is attacking his own peaceful citizens??

    Again, bad optics??
    Where are all of the people and vehicles going to go? What if more people and vehicles take their place? Who is going to tow away all of those vehicles?

    See above.

    You're right. At some point the government needs to remove the tyrannical mandates. The sooner that government removes all COVID mandates, the sooner that we all can "go back to normal". We are all in this together. ;) ;)

    You seem to have forgotten who the government works for.

    See above.

    That towing cost would be paid by the driver/owner of the rig to get it out of impound. That's how it works.

    And blackballing can cut two ways.

    Any towing company that towed a single truck from the protest would be permanently blacklisted by millions of truck drivers across Canada and the United States. None of them are going to risk that...
