For the state it pushes for more power and wealth for itself forever as is human greed and ambition of the millions who work for the state.
The only thing that keeps it in check is the fear of losing all the power and wealth they already have. But hardcore statists they are willing to risk all the power the state already has to keep taking away freedoms of people. So it eventually forces a confrontation. In Canada even if the truckers agreed to these mandates, there would just be the next mandates and the next mandates. The statists would never be satisfied in their desire for domination.
This is why all civilizations eventually fall. Greed and lust for power have no limits, but everything else, like resources, manpower, and the patience of the peasants and the commoners does.
I think Trudeau may go down in this. Because a problem for statists is the guys one level down and two levels down, they all want to be the big shots too. So they can turn on them in a sign of weakness and go for the throne themselves.
I've been following this story closely (who hasn't? it's an international story) and there was a member in his own party that "went rogue" and spoke out against the prime minister. The political sharks are swimming around the waters and Justin Trudeau is bleeding, while slowly being lowered into the waters as more time passes with this convoy (that should be a political cartoon comic, KEK).
The state propaganda is on complete overdrive. They've been throwing accusations of Nazism, White supremacy, insurrection, and from what I've seen, all of the news stations are calling the protests an occupation (JFL). The propaganda is top-down all the way from the cabinet down to the reporter on the street, and it's shameless. Their government is using old school tactics like inserting agent provocateurs in the crowds to incite crime and violence, but the people are quick to catch on. They want to provoke the truckers to react violently so that it gives the state justification to respond in full force, but this game of chicken is one that the truckers are winning, as they are exercising extreme patience and discipline. There are even rumors of biker gangs intending to join the party in case the police make the first move and get violent.
Now they've stooped to outright blatant criminal and mafia tactics. As I'm typing this, the local police are literally confiscating all jerrycans from people on the street and stealing fuel to prevent resupplies to the truckers. One video I saw had all of their faces, names, and officer numbers covered. This is but a few key steps away from 1940s Germany. There are murmurs in the shadows that the absolute last desperate gambit will be a false flag that they will blame on the truckers, and then Canada of all places will be the flashpoint for WW3 when it all erupts in a civil war and the US will have no choice but to intervene, setting off the chain of events all over the world (Russia-Ukraine, China-Taiwan, Pakistan-India, NK-SK, and the tumultuous shitshow in the Middle East).
Ya I've always thought that the plan to overthrow a government is just 10's of thousands of guys with guns and pickup trucks drive down to their state capital.
That's all it takes to start it, but it takes a lot more to finish it. Overthrowing an entity like a state government with a force is not an easy task. It requires financing, intelligence, logistics and supply lines, control of communications, and allies, in addition to the raw manpower. People, like some of the well-armed militias in the US, underestimate just how difficult all of that truly is. Shit like blitzkrieg tactics using sleeper cells and well-placed agents are the stuff of movies and TV shows. Rebellions require protracted campaigns and multi-pronged strategies, much like the military itself.
And included in those is lots of ex-army, ex-police guys.. and make a deal with the police that you aren't going to fire them. Just a 'peaceful' transition to a new group of people.
That could happen, but depending on how many lines the police cross and how fascist they become, this may not be an option for them, as people will want their heads rolling for the injustices they've committed in service to the suits in power, rather than service to the people. The police forces who remain loyal to the state and keep pushing the boundaries, justifying crimes and transgressions of laws and rights using the Nuremberg defence (I was just following orders), will be hiding in fear if the people successfully revolt and overthrow the government.
It happens nearly every time an oppressive and authoritarian government is smashed. Their enforcers scurry like cockroaches to change their identities and escape the country or go into hiding. The last time this happened was last August in Afghanistan when the Taliban literally walked into the capital and took the country over. My friends from another life in the country told me of their intelligence and security officers fearing for their lives, because the Taliban had access to all of the previous government records and they were going to their homes in towns and villages asking for them.
Thing is smart leaders like in the US they sensed in the fall when Americans were at the breaking point, and the tide of public opinion was shifting against the extreme measures. So they backed off.. and then no one had a reason to push a confrontation.
The elites and the puppet masters know their history and do their homework (it's the public that has the memory of a hamster and easily forgets). If they want a confrontation and escalation, it
WILL happen in Canada in spite of everyone's efforts to avoid it on both sides, but only because it serves a far greater global purpose. Countries and their respective state apparatuses are just resources to be used and exploited by the central bankers.
It is interesting how fast it happened and how few people. Thats how fast things can change.
All it takes is one idea, one person, one day, and one moment.
I don't know how the government of Canada can get out of this now. Thats why imo they are not saying anything because they don't know what to do.
Game theoretically, they're fucked and in a lose-lose situation. They've been put into the uncomfortable position of choosing to either yield to the protesters and reverse major policy decisions that have affected millions of people, like all of the people who've been coerced into taking the experimental covid-19 injections to keep their means of living (and, conversely, all of the people who got fired and lost their livelihoods for refusing the jab), and lose all of the money and political ground gained from the restructuring of bureaucracies and institutions, or choosing to double down and dig their heels in, which runs the risk of throwing the country into chaos with further draconian measures that must necessarily be implemented to maintain the exercise of power and authority.
Whatever the government of Canada decides to do, the fallout for the country will be felt for at least another decade.
My only suggestion to Canadian brocels is: If you're not a doomercoper and don't wish to see it all burn to the ground, seriously consider making an escape plan to the US, Mexico, or wherever the fuck, because there is no scenario where this protest will reach a stalemate. All preliminary analyses lead to this conclusion. The government is showing no signs of backing down, which means that there is a high probability that this ends in one way: civil unrest, potentially leading to civil war. On the lowly off chance that the current government does infact back down and acquiesce to the protesters' demands, then it has no choice but to dissolve and make way for an interim government. Considering the fact that the current prime minister has employed tactics to extend his rule, somehow I don't see him making a decision that would result in him having to relinquish his power.
