It’s presently -17 in Edmonton. A water cannon ought to do the trick.
Heck, just affix two or three water tanker cars, some high-pressure, high-volume pumps and a pair of nozzles to the front of every train and we won’t even need the police to stop by. Just have the trains sweep their own paths clear. It will also extinguish those dangerous burn barrels that the protesters like to stand around to warm themselves.

How fast would any of us be arrested if we protested the liberals treatment of Canadas most vested citizens, firearms owners.
We are second class citizens in our country, succession is the only hope for our children.

To keep up with the protesters and show up at the right time and place, people would have to follow the various protester social media pages to know where & when to show up. Some of those pages might not be public so you’d have to pretend to speak their socialist-idiot language to be granted access, that and probably need fake social media pages to support your fake persona. Of course such pages with recent join dates would be scrutinized.

Moe says the premiers’ meeting is needed because the blockades have been up for almost two weeks and Trudeau has offered no course of action to protect the country’s economic interests.
Canadian Manufacturers and Exporters CEO Dennis Darby has said the crisis is stranding an estimated $425 million in goods every day the blockade continues.
That's a lot of lost revenue...I think there needed to be immediate actions taken as if it was the common canuck acting up....jepers eh!

Is there any democratic process in place where we are able to elect a leader for our country?
Right now it feels like we’re all in kindergarten class waiting for the teacher to show up!!!!
I’m not even joking.

Justice Minister Schweitzer taking action: https://twitter.com/doug_schweitzer/...63178962575361
"The blocking of economically critical infrastructure such as rail lines is an offence and will not be tolerated.
It is my understanding that CN Rail is seeking an emergency injunction this morning – which the Government of Alberta fully supports."
It is my expectation that law enforcement will take all appropriate action to enforce the law.
We will continue to monitor the situation and work with all relevant stakeholders to ensure the law is upheld and that rail service is maintained.
Albertans will not be economic hostages to law-breaking extremists.

Actually, we need to encourage the protesters to set up more blockades.
Until such time as our cadre of socially engineered, unicorn loving members of society are severely and negatively impacted by the actions they champion, this will continue. ad infinitum.
Either the idiotic precept of "social license" needs to be rebuked as childish hypocrisy, or we need to bring back spikes and gibbets as necessary to get the point across.
Here is something to consider: many of the energy firms that have succumbed to the organized attack on our resources could have survived a short term impact on their cash flow. If we had turned off all the pipelines instead of continuing to negotiate with internationally backed eco-terrorists this would have been corrected years ago. How many weeks would it have taken before the zealots and useful idiots would have had an epiphany and agreed that their position was completely untenable?
Enjoy the decline.

Sure hope none of the anarchists cleans the lint out of his/her pocket and throws it in the burn barrel; and forgot that they had some firecrackers in there.....
...20 minutes; blockage is no more.

I have some really good buddies named Many Grey Horses, Red Crow, Breaker, etc. They feel like we all do. The protesters really mess up some of the real issues that need resolution, and turn off a lot of people & support!

Sad part about this whole thing is that it just drives the racism wedge even deeper, all driven by the govt. , where they talk as if they are building bridges in this country between races and touting our incredible multicultural society, ya right, most people just decide to hate the particular race because of a incredibly weak prime minister. I actually hope this gets really ugly where there is no chlorine for water supply’s, animals have to be euthanized because there is no propane to heat barns, massive layoffs, complete **** show, to give the fine folks of this country an reminder of how big of an oops they made at the last federal election, need a leader in this country that has a spine, god help us, 4 more years of this

This is a common theme with this government. Project goes to them for the rubber stamp, they stall on it, their stall shows as weakness, it draws attention, activists move in and force it into a mess. The govt are as responsible and should also be lumped in with the blockaders - they all should be tossed in jail to failing to follow the rule of law!

Actually 1881..when the first train came to Alberta.
I have not been engaged in this conversation but did listen to this politician last night. I don't know anything about this politician and am not endorsing any one political party. I just listened to what she had to say. I had never listened to her speak before. She has some points to ponder about the laws in place and just why our elected officials have maybe not reacted with force.

Like!! High capacity fans on the protesters in these temps would send the message too....
Funny how the blockades start here once the weather is warming up....

That would be the perfect solution, the railways washing down their tracks.

It’s the friendlier version of my similar concept that involves spraying hydrocarbon-based, gelled liquids past an ignition source. Though towards the ever-present burn barrel would suffice as well.
