The Emergency Act
or
Towing the whine

The Freedom Convoy was a serious attempt to create a No Confidence vote.
Those opposed to the use of the Act continue to suggest that it wasn't needed.
Yet it worked and the three weeks of police inaction did not do anything.
The organizers knew that if they blocked the borders and threatened the tow industry they would be an issue.
The RCMP advised they were unable to get any tow operators in Western Canada to help.
The organizers worked on this plan for many months and knew what they wanted.
They went to great lengths to damage businesses and Canadians, it was done with deliberate intention.
Not in the way of a protest but simply to try and get the Emergency Act invoked, no other reason.
If you re-examine it as an attempt overthrow the government it is much more sinister.

The co-ordination of the attack indicates it was very well discussed for many months beforehand.
It is also clear to me that there are federal politicians who were intimately involved with the planning.
The social media campaigns were not arranged in a few days, neither was the heavy equipment.
The planning and the design were focused on a single thing, getting the government to use the Act.
The addition of another border blockade in Emerson was likely not planned, it was frustration.
The organizers were frustrated they had not achieved their objective, they added more heat.
Having a federal political party praise those kicking the shit out of Canada was part of the plan.
When the Act was invoked they would be the champions of everyday people.
As it happened Canadians noticed they kept up the praise as the damage grew worse and worse.
It was only after a week had passed that those "praising" started to back down.
I am going to guess they started to hear from their constituents, the ones they were attacking.
