"SNIP.......

Mark Carney Mark Carney: “On the first weekend, many Canadians who joined the demonstrations undoubtedly had peaceful objectives. Tired as we all are with unprecedented disruptions that we’ve all endured over the past two years, it’s understandable that many would want to come to Ottawa to protest. It’s a free country, and everyone should be able to express their opinions free of interference from the state, just as the press should be able to report without fear of harassment or intimidation.”

“But now in its second week, no one should have any doubt. This is sedition. That’s a word I never thought I’d use in Canada. It means ‘incitement of resistance to or insurrection against lawful authority.’”

Time to nip that thing in the bud before it wrecks the nation.
Then bring in a special commission to find out who was behind it.

Trump has invited the Truckers to come to Washington DC to really make a point. I would think that the U.S. intelligence community, the National Guard, etc are closely going to monitor any type of convoy coming across the border, any group of trucks, or from anywhere surrounding Washington DC

I'm waiting for some nut job to start a mass shooting in the center, and the police not able to get through the crowd.
Or a fire, and the FireDept not able to get their engines into the area.........

(Those things would certainly fall under the: "Unintended Consequences" that is normally a sign of a lack of critical thinking.....)
