ANALYSIS – In a move that should have anti-Trump Canadians in an uproar, Prime Minister Justin Trudeau said Thursday that sending in the army to end the mostly peaceful, anti-vaccine mandate and anti-government protest in the capital of Ottawa might be an option. However, he noted that it was ‘not in the cards right now.”
The left-wing Canadian leader made his statements while remaining hidden with his family in an ‘undisclosed location’ for COVID isolation, after one of his children tested positive.
Initially begun as a trucker protest against a requirement from the U.S. and Canada that cross-border truckers be fully vaccinated has expanded into a demonstration against what the protesters see as draconian public health measures more broadly, as well as against Trudeau.
The Prime Minister earlier made dismissive remarks about the truckers and their supporters, saying: “The small fringe minority of people who are on their way to Ottawa, who are holding unacceptable views that they are expressing, do not represent the views of Canadians…”
The New York Post noted that: “A GoFundMe for this “small fringe minority” raised nearly $9 million in just two weeks.”
The Washington Post’s attempt at making the protest sound worse than they are seemed to fall flat: “The blockades have caused traffic chaos. Drivers have blared their horns at all hours. Police say city residents have been the victims of threatening behavior and hateful vitriol.”
The Post added:
Ottawa police have arrested three people in connection with the protests, including one man who brought a weapon to a public meeting. Police are investigating dozens of potential crimes after demonstrators desecrated monuments and harassed workers at a soup kitchen for the homeless.
This is a far cry from the burning, looting, and violence from massive BLM riots across the U.S. in the summer 2020 which injured 2,000 police and caused $3 billion in damages.
About the Ottawa protest, the Post reports that:
While the number of demonstrators in the city totals roughly 250 people — down considerably from the thousands who gathered over the weekend — hundreds of vehicles, including big rigs, are still blocking critical arteries in the downtown core.
The possibility of using military force domestically to quell protests was first broached by Ottawa Police Chief Peter Sloly, when he said Wednesday that “there may not be a policing solution to this demonstration” and that he and other commanders were “looking at every single option, including military aid to civil power” to end it.
Deploying the military to support domestic law enforcement is rare in Canada and Sloly admitted it carries risks.
Still, Sloly was severely criticized for his comments.
Rather than rebuff Sloly’s comments, Trudeau’s remarks only left open the possibility of using the Canadian Army against Canadian civilians as a looming threat – all over ‘blaring horns, vitriol and roadblocks.’

Time for a new ‘Let’s Go’ slogan for Canada: TRUCK FUDEAU!
I wonder how many Canadian soldiers will follow those orders?
I hope nobody. it is time get ride of the disgusting idiot Trudeau
only the ones who love fascism
You mean that the soldiers who love fascism, will follow the orders of bolshevik-far left-communist Trudeau ? Hmm, how interesting.
That depends on their loyalty.
O Canada? or O☭anada?
Wimp. Wonder if Xiden will emulate him when the same movement gets rolling here.
let him try the difference here is we are armed, And that folks is why you NEVER relinquish your 2nd amendment rights, period
Another liberal POS!
USUALLY IN BLACKFACE
Of course he’ll call in the military. Adolf Hitler wannabes always do when their dictatorship is threatened.
Quarantine? Nonsense, Brandeau. You pulled a Trudeau and are quivering in an isolated location on PEI.
Trudeau is full of Bull Cookies!
Again another country that has basically disarmed their citizens then the authoritarian government can threaten to or even use force against unarmed citizens
Do they understand that using the military on its own peaceful protesters can start a civil war.
I don’t believe he has the China virus. That’s just an excuse while he runs away, scared and in hiding – most likely in BLACKFACE again and again.
Do you think his wife and children wear blackface too?
Let’s go Trudeau.
That would make a good cheer, yep:
Go Trudeau go, go Trudeau go! Down the floor and out the door, go Trudeau go!
Pretty Boy Justin T…..didn’t like his daddy and really don’t like him!
Checking in as a Canadian who holds the unacceptable views Pretty Boy Trudeau has spoken of.
Whats he afraid of? & Oh Yes Go Find Me took trucker funds to charity
When government officials anger those that elected them to the point the army has to protect them, they have failed as a leader and become a dictator. We are not vetting our politicians closely enough.
Using their army against their own citizens would be a huge mistake!
The Army ……………….has to chose.
Trudeau,,how many times have you consulted you butt buddy Obama on this ??? you two come from the same mold of fraud and speak the same language…you are so out of touch with reality and hopefully you will be out of office soon
Anti Vax is now being labeled Insurrectionist Anti Government in Canada?
I am beginning to think these Leftists don’t comprehend the game they are playing. Government Regimes change or get changed. The desire for Freedom NEVER changes.
Trudeau is “in hiding”. That should tell Canadians all they need to know.
He’s all done if he does this.
Like all of his hair brain ideas, that is really , really a bad plan.
This man is a fecleds, cowardly pig. He needs to be removed!
Feckless
