What I know about C.W. McCall:
That’s surprising
A bit tamer than smashing their trucks, proposal to take away their vehicle registration and licenses
I’ve read that they can’t actually do that. I dunno, I read it on the internet.
But…I’ve also read that there’s maybe some insurance repercussions, like some insurers are looking at people who attended - you can’t use your 18 wheeler in illegal activities and expect to have insurance coverage. THAT’d be something - getting their insurance revoked or premiums increased substantially.And I think insurers should be concerned. The situation in Ottawa isn’t that far from actual potential of property being damaged, trucks set ablace, etc. It’s not happening, but it’s not outside the realm of reasonably possible. Who’s paying for that? Not any smart insurer.
I also saw a vid of one of the antivaxxers get their pickup truck blocked in (for horns I think) and they tried to bail - in the process tapping a cop car with their truck. That’s going to be a fun conversation with insurance I bet.
If they’re not going to move, another option would be to just dump a bunch of snow on them. Have fun protesting on foot guys.
Government can do anything, worst case is it’s eventually overturned in court. The threat of losing their license may be enough to get some of them to leave.
Long time mayor of the city of Ouray, CO.
Website shows which company logos are in trucks in protest
Apparently 25 % of the trucks have kids in them. So, not in school for weeks on end.
They’re treating this like a vacation.
I don’t think taking the kids on a tour of Parliament Hill is an option. 
Possible that the Ottawa-based convoy will try to relocate to Toronto. Can’t imagine the Toronto police letting them get established there given what has hopefully been learned from the Ottawa occupation.
I’m more concerned about the border crossing shut downs than the occupation of Ottawa at this point. More supply chain disruptions are good for no one. Those vehicles should be seized and drivers arrested, they’re disrupting critical infrastructure.
Isn’t that the real point of their demonstration? The truckers believe that the vaccination mandates for trucks crossing the border are wrong and disrupting the critical supply chain infrastructure?
I don’t give a shit if that’s their “point”.
If they’re criminally disrupting critical infrastructure it’s time to jail them.
What is surprising is that there have not been US trucker demonstrations as the US and Canada impose the same restrictions on cross-border truckers. Even if Canada lifted its restrictions both countries’ truckers would still require vaccination to enter the US.
Buddy who drives trucks in Nebraska says I-80 is crawling with cops, and they’ve brought out their armored vehicles.
No idea if there’s a protest planned in that area, but might be worth noting. Or, might be “we have to put on a show to justify getting a shitload of money and a shitload of unnecessary stuff.”
The only winners in the Ottawa occupation are the Ottawa police. The additional shifts and overtime pay have been staggering. Overtime pay is pensionable under the police pension plan so there is a deferred as well as an immediate cost to the City of Ottawa. I expect the City will be seeking a provincial and/or federal handout as the cost may be too much for them to pass on to property owners. The work has consisted of paroling without the dangers that US police often face in US demonstrations so it has been easy money for the police.
