> Strangling cities with truck drivers actually is violence. Coercing people into medical experiments is violence. If Trudeau wants to shut it down there is a ridiculously obviously-in-hindsight solution here that doesn't involve violence or negotiation. And if they had thought of it they would have used it by now. Maybe ultimately this is all just a "big-bash-at-the-end-of-the-covid-universe" to blow off people's steam before tearing down the covid narrative. Come to think of it I'm half tempted to believe thats exactly what this is. Why haven't the infiltrators been sent in in large numbers? Why haven't the false flags came through? The canadians and the rest of the international coalition regime have already decided the covid narrative is done, at least for the next six months to a year. Thats what this looks like. They've already decided, and they're just organizing the rallies as a blow-off valve to prevent counter-backlash after all the lockdowns and mandates are dropped. They should encourage the protests, in every major western nation and carefully balance too much vs. too little police presence (too much and it turns ugly. Too little and people have no visible authority figure to make the focus of their anger). If this scenario is true, any nation that wanted to *disrupt* control over the protests, would bring in infiltrators to promote illegal tactics, scaring off the on-the-ground police. The consequences of that is the major nations that have convoys going on, would have to bring in regular troops or the equivalent of national guardsmen at least. It would immediately alienate the public and stop the positive effect of the convoys, because you don't bring out troops unless they're gonna get used. Why? Because troops are made for fighting, not policing, and whatever discipline they have will be worn down quickly in the face of over-use, exhaustion, and infiltrators trained to provoke them. One incident with soldiers and you have a conflagration if it ends up on video. I would **double** perimeter security and vetting of people that come in. This can actually be controlled for the bulk of people arriving by using the truckers themselves. If the truckers act as the *transport* for large groups of people, then it makes it trivial to vet whos coming, because the truckers have the most to lose if any of the people coming are the violent variety of radicals. Trudeau is correct to make himself scarce if his *intent* is to remain in superficial power. The less people see him, the less they'll focus their anger on him as the cause. Looking at the existing reaction to the times he *did* appear, the loss of control vs the benefit to the canadian government, is a net loss, rather than a gain all things being equal. They need a different scapegoat.
