Another Canadian Blockade at Milk River

It’s also my understanding that arrests have been made, and that Alberta provincial head Jason Kenney only feigned a positive response to the truckers.
Holding a press conference to make his announcement [Full Video Here], premier Kenney said, “We cannot remain at a heightened state of emergency forever. We have to begin to heal, and so Alberta will move on. But we’ll do so carefully, we’ll do so prudently, we will do so only if it does not threaten the capacity of our healthcare system.” Kenney then outlined some softening to the covid restrictions.
Provincial rules that require students to wear masks in Alberta schools will end on Monday, and children under 12 won’t have to wear masks anywhere starting then.
Kenney stated a provincial work-from-home order will expire on March 1, along with the provincial mask mandate. At the same time, the limits on social gatherings and students being permitted to be in non-socially distanced proximity with other students in schools will be removed.
However, while Premier Kenny said the vaccine passports called ‘Restriction Exemption Program’ (REP) would be eliminated at midnight tonight, the QR codes check-in gates would continue; vaccine requirements will remain; vaccine discrimination can continue by private businesses with government support; govt healthcare workers must still be vaccinated or get fired; entertainment venues would be allowed to sell food & drinks again (but customers must be seated); and rules on closing times, alcohol service times, table capacity in restaurants, and social distancing would remain in place.
So the Coutts truckers pulled back into place and resumed the blockade. Good. Kenney has been told that the truckers are stupid. This is good too. There’s no more serious weakness that underestimating the resolve and smarts of your opponents.
In this following video, one trucker says that his “son has disowned him.” Well, I believe we all have a volition and that we’re responsible for our own actions, and that no one can really control another man’s thoughts.
But this kid has been trained in the public schools his whole life (I would imagine) and then perhaps in state-run colleges. His thinking is wrongheaded. Unless his father did something truly sinful like abuse his mother, and that hasn’t been charged, he is in no position to disown anyone. He’s got it exactly backwards. Maybe he will grow up one day.
In the mean time, this is video from Milk River. The movement grows.
