    Indigenous leaders are politicians.  They care very leader for the people they represent, like our leaders…

    and indigenous individuals have stated these leaders are wrong…

    A convenient position for you to take.

    The Federation of Sovereign Indigenous Nations in Saskatchewan also opposes the convoy, as does the Athabasca Chipewyan First Nation in Alberta.

    There are people at the protest with their kids and our bully government is walking around with sniper rifles…under Trudeau Canada has become a fucking joke … and that bitch is holed up in a basement.  Great fucking leader you cheer for.

    An elder representing the Algonquin nation calls the truck convoy protest actions on their territory "unacceptable", and points out that the nation did not give permission for the use of their unceded territory for the protest and associated activities. Those who support the Indigenous nations will of course pay heed to their request for the truck convoy to leave, correct?

    An Algonquin elder from Kitigan Zibi Anishinabeg says truck convoy protesters in downtown Ottawa and their supporters, some of whom have been conducting First Nations ceremonies, are overstepping their boundaries.

    "We don't know who these people are," said Claudette Commanda. 

    "We never provided any permission for anyone to use any portion of our unsurrendered, unceded homeland for any of this kind of rally, gathering, protest or even ceremonies."

    .......

    On Wednesday, the Algonquins of Pikwakanagan, the Algonquin Anishinabeg Nation Tribal Council and Kitigan Zibi Anishinabeg issued a statement saying they do not support the convoy and the actions taking place on their territory were "unacceptable."

    Interesting read, but unless they’re suggesting that every group that protests in Ottawa needs to ask their permission (which I would call unreasonable if for no reason more than practicality), they really just have a problem with their fellow FN who choose to stand with the convoy. I’ll admit that I’m utterly unfamiliar with the cultural norms around this.

     I had to chuckle reading the statement that ends the article, whoever wrote it has a very short memory, lol. “If peaceful protests of critical infrastructure at Coutts is allowed, then we expect the same to be true in the future should Indigenous people engage in similar forms of protest.” I can remember several weeks leading up to covid taking hold in Canada that suggest they set the precedent.
    Why would it be that the First Nation would only have a problem with other indigenous people? Why can’t they object to anyone behaving in a non respectful way in the territory?

    David Allen, president of Gary's Towing in London, Ont., said while towing a truck that doesn't want to be moved would be hard, it is physically possible — even if the air brakes are engaged. Heavy-duty tow trucks can transfer air from their system to the trucks to release the brakes, Allen said. Failing that, they could "cage" the brakes, which involves manually backing the brake off each individual wheel. "We have all the capabilities on our tow trucks to do it … but I don't think anyone would want to," he said. That's because many companies who provide heavy towing would be hesitant to risk their relationships with trucking companies, Allen said.

    For the crowd who insist Trudeau is 'In Hiding'  (pun intended) what do you believe he should do more than he already has? 

    Has he addressed the protesters?  Yes.  I don't think he was very diplomatic, but yes he did. He shared with us what he thought. He stated he would not budge on his position. And that's that. Ball is now in the protesters court. 

    Perhaps this protest is a way to put pressure on him, but I have to be honest, if I was him, I would be doing exactly what he is. 

    What does he have to gain by repeating himself? What does he have to gain by even commenting publicly about it? 

    By staying quiet, he is allowing these protesters to do exactly what I believe he anticipated they would do, make themselves look moronic, disrespectful, and completely UN-patriotic. Any politician who put their neck on the line supporting this will have to wear that like a badge of dishonour for years to come and Trudeau won't forget it at election time. 

    Please do not forget... this country JUST had a federal election.  The Liberals made it very clear that they were pro vaccine and pro doing whatever was needed to end the pandemic. Full stop.  They stayed in power.  Full stop. These convoy organizers and supporters wanting a 'vote of no confidence' please tell me... what was the federal election exactly? THIS.  THIS is how stupid you sound.

    It's true that it isn't about "the vaccination" any more. While the protest started over the border vaccine requirement, it has morphed (or rather, has been co-opted) into a general grievance protest against all things covid, whether vaccines, masks, restrictions and anything else you can think of. It started off grass-roots and then the usual alt-right players got involved and now we are where we are.

    I get that people are sick of the pandemic and "want their lives back". Hey, we all do. Unfortunately there's a big component of magical thinking here - if wishing makes it so, then I can just say I want the pandemic to be gone and it'll be gone. It's a shame that the virus in all its mutated glory doesn't respect our wishes.

    An Ottawa judge has granted an injunction to silence the convoy horns for the next 10 days, noting that silencing the horns does not remove the protesters' right to protest and that the horns do not express "any great thought". The lawyer seeking the injunction pointed out that the decibel level of the horns is more than enough to cause permanent hearing loss.
