Friday Dark ONT: The Honkening
If yous haven't noticed, out normally quiet and polite neighbors to the north are dealing with a bit of a pasty wicket. Fed up with the heavy handed government imposition of mandates and other tyrannical deportment in the proper name of "fighting COVID", hundreds of thousands of truckers have descended on Ottawa and are parked in the streets, effectively paralyzing the nation'due south capitol. While honking. Lots and lots of honking. Justin Trudeau claims he has COVID and has fled the capitol in the face of these "fringe elements". What will be the concluding result of this Freedom Convoy? Volition the Canadian government accede to at least some of their demands and status quo be restored? The premiers of Alberta and Saskatchewan accept announced an end to all COVID related restrictions, will other provinces follow suit? Those of us who are at to the lowest degree 29 remember the Solidarność movement from the 1980s, which actually started kinda the aforementioned way. 2 things nearly that comparison: Communist Poland was a much more oppressive government than Trudeau'south Canada, and the world is not currently blessed with leaders similar Thatcher, Reagan and John Paul Two. I even saw one person going on earnestly about how, since Canada was basically founded by loyalists who left the The states afterward the revolution, they were finally having their Boston Tea Party. Not sure about that one.
In any outcome, this being 2022 and all, the issue has generated thousands of memes, and this evening's Friday night meme collection is dedicated to....The Honkening.
Trudeau gave a speech gave a speech from "an undisclosed location in the national Capitol area". True to form, those magnificent autists of iv-chan pinpointed and published his location before the speech was even finished. Beneath is some of the typical leftist rhetoric from the speech, along with clips from the ground.

Cartoonists are having a field day
The original cartoon below has the human being leaving in the 4th panel.
Musical Interlude
Or perhaps you'd prefer this version:
You know, no matter how many times I hear this song, I just tin Non seem to sing, either out loud or in my head, the discussion "truckin" in the line "coil this truckin' convoy". I employ another similar sounding word.
The truckers even brought in the big guns.
I suggested that the residents of Ottawa could pretend that the Sens had scored a goal when that thing goes off, but nobody would believe that. Of course, the leftists in Ottawa are recognizing that this convoy is kin to the BLM and Antifa movements that they accept cheered on for the by few years, so they are being quietly supportive. Not.
The constabulary in Ottawa reportedly started calling tow companies to start removing the trucks. Everyone they contacted told them that they were unavailable considering they all had COVID. Heh. At that place is an unconfirmed report that Trudeau asked the ground forces to make plans to start removing the truckers, simply to be told "Yeah, we won't be doing that". If truthful, my respect for the Canadian military, already loftier, has gone up a few notches. Would that law and military machine leadership downwards here demonstrated more of a fealty to the Constitution and a willingness to refuse unconstitutional orders. Of class, the convoy is insanely peaceful.
Last night I mentioned a comparison between the then-called CHAZ and what the truckers have created in Ottawa. Estimate that'southward what happens when y'all start with people who are accustomed to getting things done instead of people demanding that everything be done for them.
Tonight'due south ONT has been brought to you past some encouraging words for the Liberty Convoy from the United States of America:
We hold these Truths to be self-evident, that all Men are created equal, that they are endowed by their Creator with certain unalienable Rights, that amid these are Life, Liberty, and the Pursuit of Happiness - That to secure these Rights, Governments are instituted among Men, deriving their just Powers from the Consent of the Governed, that whenever any Form of Government becomes destructive of these Ends, it is the Right of the People to alter or to abolish information technology, and to institute new Government, laying its Foundation on such Principles, and organizing its Powers in such Class, as to them shall seem most likely to outcome their Prophylactic and Happiness. Prudence, indeed, volition dictate that Governments long established should non be changed for lite and transient Causes; and appropriately all Experience hath shewn, that Mankind are more disposed to suffer, while Evils are sufferable, than to right themselves by abolishing the Forms to which they are accepted. But when a long Train of Abuses and Usurpations, pursuing invariably the same Object, evinces a Design to reduce them under absolute Despotism, information technology is their Right, it is their Duty, to throw off such Government, and to provide new Guards for their future Security.
ETA: To be clear, I don't think Canadians are at the "cancel" betoken. But "change" is certainly on the table.
