Trucker beaten by Canadian police says ‘they broke my body a little bit but not my spirit’

Trucker beaten by Canadian police says ‘they broke my body a little bit but not my spirit’

A trucker who was seen on viral video being beaten by Ottawa police during the “Freedom Convoy” demonstrations said the officers “broke my body a little bit” but not his spirit.

Romanian-born Csaba Vizi, a 20-year resident of Canada, said on Fox News on Monday that he expected to be arrested, but not attacked by cops, after Prime Minister Justin Trudeau invoked the Emergencies Act.

No, Canada: A Freeze Too Far?

The Trudeau government has exposed thousands of Canadians to prospective financial ruin and gross violations of privacy.

Canadians often gripe that the rest of the world pays little attention to our country. These days, most of us are wishing that we were making international news a lot less.

Our newfound global notoriety is a result of the Freedom Convoy, a protest movement that sprang up in late January, when fleets of trucks converged on the nation’s capital, Ottawa, to call for the end to vaccine mandates. There they remained, dug into the city’s core, for over three weeks before police began to remove them.

Canadian police ‘on the wrong side of history’?

The Ottawa Police Department (OPD) recently received many phone calls protesting its abhorrent abuse of peaceful protesters surrounding the Freedom Convoy. The department apparently did not like the calls. Ergo, it took to Twitter to tweet:  “We know the events in #Ottawa are upsetting. Still, we’re asking people to stop calling critical emergency and operational phone lines to express displeasure about the police action to remove an unlawful assembly downtown.” A subsequent tweet stated: “We track calls and will charge anyone deliberately interfering with the phone lines.”

FUREY: A chilling effect has come over protest in Canada

It was on the weekend, after some of the most entrenched parts of the truckers’ freedom convoy were already removed from downtown Ottawa, that interim Ottawa police chief Steve Bell said: “If you are involved in this protest, we will actively look to identify you and follow up with financial sanctions and criminal charges … Absolutely.”

How Democratic Is The Covid State?

The fact that the biomedical security state is being imposed by elected leaders doesn’t automatically give it democratic legitimacy.

Behind all the bad arguments against the Canadian Freedom Convoy, that they are Nazis or transphobes or whatever, is one good one: there was an election five months ago and they lost it. We can’t replace democracy with rule by whoever has the biggest trucks. Justin Trudeau made that argument yesterday defending his use of the Emergencies Act against the protesters. “You can’t hold a city hostage,” he said. “What you can do is vote. What you can do is run for office. That’s how change happens in a democracy.”

It is true that in the last election, in September 2021, Justin Trudeau’s Liberal Party won 32.6 percent of the popular vote and 160 seats, the lowest popular vote of any ruling party in Canadian history but enough to put together a minority government.

Crypto group protests court order to freeze trucker convoy accounts — says it ‘cannot’ freeze money or prevent it from being moved

A cryptocurrency group whose software was used to funnel bitcoin to the “freedom convoy” in Ottawa says it cannot fulfil an Ontario judge’s order to freeze accounts associated with the protest, testing the legal system’s ability to curtail the flow of digital currency.

On Friday, after Ontario Superior Court Justice Calum MacLeod granted an injunction to a private citizens’ effort to stop funding for the protest — including more than $1 million in bitcoin — crypto exchange Nunchuck.io said that it “cannot” freeze its users money or prevent it from being moved because it does not have access to their digital wallets.

Ottawa Mayor Can Sell Protest Trucks Using Emergencies Act; Freeland Affirms Cities Have Certain Powers

 

Ottawa Mayor Jim Watson had told the CBC on Feb. 19 that his city has the power to sell the vehicles due to the Emergencies Act invoked by Prime Minister Justin Trudeau on Feb. 14.

“We actually have the ability to confiscate those vehicles and sell them,” he said, adding that “I want to see them sold. I don’t want the return to these people who’ve been causing such frustration and angst in our community.”
