@Phil C. McNasty believes it is a good idea to have kids in the occupation area to use as human shields.
That's because - sadly! - Phil himself was left in a dumpster by his irresponsible parents when he was only 16 years old and very, very vulnerable. He's never recovered from the trauma.

No tear gas, no rubber bullets, no water cannons, but people are clearing out volunteerly, trucks towed out, police made arrests what is mostly peaceful enforcement. The strategy is to outwait and tire out the remaining protestors by rotating officers taking breaks, great work by the Police.

This could have all been avoided had Trudeau had actually talked to the convoy organizers. He refused to have any civil discourse, and resorted to name calling and gaslighting. Just an absence of any real leadership, that has allowed this situation to spin out of control.

Canada does not make deals with terrorists.

Do you honestly think anything would have gotten resolved?

Or maybe the protesters could have voted him out? They had there chance instead took the January 6th approach demanding him to resign (according to their Manifesto).

Could WHAT have been avoided?

The protestors had their say.
There was no violence.
There were no injuries.
The protestors were given advance notice of what the police were going to do.
Nothing to see here.
Time to go home.

What horrible things were there to avoid?

I think the Feds should have talked to them, actually.
Not Trudeau, obviously, but send someone from the health ministry or from border control and have a discussion about what the protestors wanted.
It wouldn't have changed much, since the protesters didn't appear to actually want to negotiate with the government, but I think it would have been fine to send someone to talk.

That's the point, we don't know what could have been resolved because there was no communication between both sides. I believe Trudeau deserves blame for that, he is the prime minister after all.. Maybe the police wouldn't have had to get involved, the blockades could have been avoided, or the trucks could have been moved earlier, who knows. When the leader of the country refuses to even speak with Canadian citizens, and resorts to name calling, that's a problem. Its juvenile and cowardly, he's supposed to unite the country, and instead he's doing the complete opposite.

Even that would have been acceptable, I agree. Doesn't have to be Trudeau himself but send someone like you mentioned, to hear their concerns. Ignoring them and telling the protesters to get lost only inflamed the situation.

Fine Trudeau to blame for not communicating...

The hard-core protesters aren't there for dropping vaccine mandates nor care about the truckers, they are there to destabilize the government. Unfortunately, they latched on the trucker movement and changed the narrative.

Trudeau resign or nothing and we won't leave until that happens. I don't even think the protesters or at least the leaders of the protesters are there to negotiate, it's all or nothing.

In a few weeks the mandates will end as COVID numbers dropped.

You can see the Conservative politicians flip flopping pandering to their base....First, we support you then the bridges were blocked changed to "overreach" argument.

the absence of leadership is on the protest side. Their leaders are treasonous, racists with absolutely no connection to the trucking industry but using truckers as pawns to try to overthrow the federal government with their MOU….. and yet people expect our Prime Minister to meet with them?
The truckers should have thanked the organizers for their offer but organized a proper demonstration without their help. Maybe then they could have gotten a more sympathetic response from the very government the organizers intended to dismantle.

imagine you are falsely accused of murder and you not only hire a known mob boss to act as your lawyer but this same mobster has previously publicly threatened to kill the judge.

Dude, the protestors held a press conference where they - moronically - invited all the OTHER political parties to meet with them, but refused to meet with Trudeau. Even if he begged them, they would not have met with him.

What you write is total nonsense.

The most intelligent thing he could have got from these assholes was a fart.

Sorry. Not impressed. The protestors were being assholes and were refusing to move and the cops had to arrest them. The protestors struggled. You do that with any cops anywhere, you take a couple of shots to the gut. You don't want to get kneed or slugged, don't resist and be an asshole.

The old lady and the brownshirt guy and the horses, I've discussed to death with Simon in another thread. IMO both took dives and neither was hurt. The cops did not assault them at all.

The clip where the protestors defile our national anthem by singing it with their dirty traitor mouths, they blocked a road illegally. The cops moved them out of the way. The protestors assaulted and taunted the cops. No assault by the cops.

Wow - you're really going with those? No people were trampled by horses. And if you're equating arrests with assaults, well, there isn't much to say beyond 'ridiculous'.
