3. Premier Ford of Ontario has now declared a state of emergency

He has stated they will soon begin to take down the "occupation" (not protest) and will begin to relieve truckers of their licenses if they refuse to move. He still has to take this to cabinet tomorrow but I expect we will see something happening soon. It is tricky because so many of these assholes have brought their children along. I am wondering if social services might be brought in (just my own musing). I hope they get this right and are able to soon stop this across the country.

They have seized the money coming in to support them (GoFundMe was previously shut down by them) through a new Canadian fund raising app.

Incidentally yes the far right is weakened here as our government is able to declare domestic fascist groups as terrorists which cuts off their abilities to raise money, thus they are using this protest to raise money. We will not tolerate it and to many on this side of the border we have a difficult time understanding why the US cannot do the same.
