I used your comment as a reference to Trudeau's comments about not negotiating while quoting Trudeau's comment about dialogue befitting democracy.

That’s interesting. I wonder what the ripple out from this will be with their making sure of their security going forward
And I fear there will only be one way out of this mess.Carson Jerema: Border blockades show Canadian incompetence is the biggest threat, not insurrection

Looking at all the U.S. influence, I see it more as America making its problems Canada’s problems.

The "we're nothing like Americans, they're warmongers" crew calling on the US to send armed soldiers to Canadian soil to take care of the protestors. Awesome.

I would argue that blockading routes to prevent citizens from exercising their legal rights to do business and intimidate them into complying with their demands is violence. Just because they aren't physically touching you doesn't mean it isn't. If a Russian Navy fleet showed up outside Victoria and blockaded the port that would be a act of war, not protest.
The thing about having rule of law is that sometimes you do need to use violence to maintain it. Downtown Ottawa is one thing (and I still don't agree with blockading the routes of passage there), but blockading the borders is another. It is time to move the police in, and if they don't want to go peacefully, then slowly escalate up the force until they have all been arrested or dispersed. If the military must get involved than so be it.
If we don't do something about it quickly, we are setting ourselves up for this to be the standard for the next round of protests for whatever cause decides to pop up.

Don't worry - I'm told it's all about the COVID measures ...
From the website listed on the "warrant" ...
More on the Republic of Kanata here - self-published bio of the guy behind it all here.
Some people are absolutely fine with all of it. Even cheerleading this mess.
Meanwhile. Interesting how the financial aspect of this works and is evolving.

The Canadian financial institution has struck another blow against the attempts by the convoy group blockading Ottawa to collect on the millions of dollars it has solicited in online donations.
