Is this proof the protestors are from the USA? That looks like a US Department of Transportation ID, or do Canadian truckers use those as well for easier border crossing?

Pretty sure that'd have to actually pass a vote first, and I thought New Mexico was a state where the hippies outnumber the chuds?

I’m watching the CBC live stream on YouTube and almost every suggested video underneath is from Fox News, Post Media, or some alt right YouTuber with the usual “Trudeau is arresting people for questioning his authority” type takes.

The latter. You need to register with the US DOT for cross-border freight.

Of course, being unvaccinated, these truckers weren’t allowed to cross the border.

I think it happens when they change shifts. Looks like the OPP and SQ are alternating at the line.

Seems to be WAY more police there now than there were to man the line before. Looks like more police than protestors at this point, though that could just be the angle.

Edit: Looks like shits going down now.

Just spotted some guys trying to unfurl a bunch of flags I've never seen before... usually when I see 99% right wing/white protests you get a few folks showing up with the usual medieval flags, the usual white supremacist stuff. Saw a new one, red flag with a white crusader on it and a cross. Turned out to be a really old old Lithuanian flag. These guys think they are being subtle but they aren't.

Yeah, I've been impressed thus far with the patience and restraint displayed by the cops. They're willing to apply pressure slowly and advance only as the crowd calms down, going out of their way to avoid winding them up. They're also not retreating and are clearly willing to bust heads if it comes to that, but they've managed to avoid it coming to that thus far.

I saw a flag I hadn’t seen before. A red flag with the letters “OF” in white and a white maple leaf in the middle of the “O”.

I originally thought it might be a Canada Forces flag. I wouldn’t be surprised if this was intentional. People who know, will know. Others might assume that CF stands for Canada Forces.

you know how when you get riots in simcity 2000 and you park the cop car next to it but the riot is too big for your one cop car so you save up money and build a new police station to send more cars. but 6 months have now elapsed in game time and the riot has grown so it takes a while for the riots to ultimately peter out
