Freedom Convoy Protesters Are About To Get Arrested En Masse

ZH | FEB 17, 2022


Ottawa police have been going from truck to truck, passing out flyers to Freedom Convoy protesters which demand they vacate the demonstration zone immediately or face arrest and criminal charges.

"You must leave the area now," reads the notice. "Anyone blocking streets, or assisting others in the blocking [of] streets, are committing a criminal offence and you may be arrested," according to the Wall Street Journal.

The notice is an escalation of law-enforcement efforts as the protest against vaccine mandates and social restrictions enters its 20th day. The move comes after Prime Minister Justin Trudeau invoked emergency powers this week aimed at ending the demonstrations.

Ottawa police, in its notice, said that with the new powers made available under the federal emergency order, it is now illegal for new protesters or their supporters to enter downtown Ottawa and join the demonstration. Police also said drivers’ licenses could be revoked, per a separate emergency order from the province of Ontario. -WSJ

Earlier in the day we noted that 13 demonstrators involved in an 'Coutts blockade' were arrested, however today's order is officially warning of mass arrests.

That was a false flag produced by the anti-protestors.  The truckers saw through it and did not move.
Look at the flyer, that's all it is.... a flyer.  No date, no signature, no official stamp from any authority.   Remember, the police chief resigned.  There is no police chief.  So who's given the order?  The mayor?  Then the mayor would have his signature on it.   There is no signature!  Anti protestors were passing them out saying it was from the police.
 Many youtubers on the ground there in Ottawa have reported the number of trucks have not decreased....but they have increased.
God bless the truckers who don't fall for lies.  Follow the truth, don't fall for lies.

We will see if this all comes to fruition...

Final Showdown: Canada Police Set To End Freedom Convoy "Unlawful Demonstration"

ZH | FEB 18, 2022
Days after Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau invoked the Emergencies Act to crack down on protesters nationwide, Canadian police are preparing to clear hundreds of truck drivers from Ottawa, according to Reuters.

'Freedom Convoy' demonstrators against the government's medical tyranny have staged a three-week-long siege of Ottawa's downtown district that prompted Trudeau on Monday to invoke the Emergencies Act to crack down on what he has described as an attack on democracy.

On Thursday evening, police began moving in on the downtown district, arresting protesters. We noted two key organizers were arrested, including Tamara Lich and Chris Barber. The two have been described as top leaders in the movement. Authorities are expected to unleash a wave of arrests on Friday.

"We absolutely are committed to end this unlawful demonstration. We have the plan, we have the commitment, we have the resources," interim police chief Steve Bell told reporters on Thursday. To quell future protests at least 100 checkpoints will be erected in the downtown district. Anyone who doesn't have a legitimate reason for entering the area will be barred.

"This weekend will look very different than the past three weekends," Bell added.

Many of the truckers in the Freedom Convoy aren't moving.

"I'm prepared to sit on my a** and watch them hit me with pepper spray," Pat King, one of the leaders of the movement, told AP News.

"There are no tow trucks in Canada that will touch them."

Amid the rising tensions outside Parliament, many demonstrators still refused to budge, and the use of federal emergencies law will give police the tools to end the occupation.

Some Canadians are outraged their government would even enact such powers (not seen in fifty years) on what has been described as 'peaceful protests,' However, the Trudeau administration sees things a little differently, calling truckers "fringe" and treating them as so-called 'terrorists.'

Meanwhile, the Canadian Civil Liberties Association has announced its intention to sue the federal government for invoking the Emergencies Act in response, the CBC reports.

It remains to be seen if today's move to end the capital's siege will go smoothly. Trudeau's use of emergency powers has already prohibited travel, banned protests, conducted widespread arrests, blocked donations, and frozen bank accounts of truckers and their supporters. People are getting angry, and there are even fears of a possible bank run.
