The Canadian capital of Ottawa is bracing for a third straight weekend of protests against a vaccine mandate by truckers in the so-called Freedom Convoy as a state of emergency takes effect in the city. Ottawa Police Chief Peter Sloly promised "more boots on the ground" in remarks and Friday and urged protesters not to come to Ottawa but he did not share details about potential police deployments. Ontario Premier Doug Ford declared a state of emergency in the Canadian province on Friday and both he and Prime Minister Justin Trudeau warned of "consequences" for protesters.

You think maybe the author's bias is revealed in the use of "so-called Freedom Convoy" in the opening paragraph?

An Emergency of their own making that could be solved instantly.
Say the word and the truckers are gone.
But they seem to have this need to show their power over the people.

Remember Justin spoke at Castro's funeral saying the citizens of Cuba loved the way he ran the country. Huge disconnect somewhere with Justin. The Trudeaus and Castros where friends. Tells you where he's coming from.

I pray the Lord watches over these truckers and grant them safety and success.

The truckers hold all the cards. The blockade can simply turn into a large scale strike. When Justin can no longer get his pop tart in the morning, he will reconsider.

From Schweitzer (in 2013) “Justin Trudeau, then a young member of parliament (MP), thought for a moment, smiled, and responded: “There is a level of admiration I actually have for China . . . because their basic dictatorship is allowing them to actually turn their economy around on a dime and say ‘we need to go greenest, fastest—we need to invest in solar.’ I mean, there is flexibility that I know Stephen Harper [the Canadian prime minister at the time] must dream about of having a dictatorship that he can do everything he wanted, and I find that quite interesting.”

#1, it’s Newsweak. I would expect nothing else but bias.

Stop delivering anything to Ottawa. The grocery stores and restaurant supply houses will run out soon enough, and then the truckers will have EVERYONE's attention.

Power shifts, names will be remembered. Those that would use force against peaceful citizens should stop and think what will happen, when the power shifts to the protestors.

The truckers could bring Canada to its knees in three weeks. Just say “oh - you don’t want us protesting in Ottawa? Okay, we’re going home - and NONE of us is driving for a month.” Then do it.
Jimmy Hoffa knew how much power the Teamsters had. He told one of his underlings that whatever Americans had, a truck brought it to them - even if it was another truck. That was why the Teamsters union had so much sway.
