America, take note, this could be us if we allow it.
The Canadian province of Nova Scotia is outlawing freedom of speech and expression days after an incredibly massive protest that saw people gathered along a highway to cheer on and support the "Freedom Convoy" of truckers who drove across Canada from Vancouver to Ottawa, to protest the vaccine mandates.
The province issued "a directive under the Emergency Management Act prohibiting people from blockading Highway 104 near the Nova Scotia-New Brunswick border." Except they weren't blocking anything--they were standing alongside the road waving Canadian flags and cheering, eh.
The directive specifically states supporters of the Freedom Convoy and another protest, the Atlantic Hold the Line event, can’t gather along Highway 104, on the Nova Scotia-New Brunswick border. The directive states that "allowing people to gather in those areas would put themselves and others at risk."

Bullcrap. It puts freedom of speech at risk.
"My message to anyone planning a blockade of a highway is — don’t do it," Nova Scotia Premier Tim Houston said last week, according to the Toronto Star. "Nova Scotians have no patience for highway blockades and, personally ... I have even less, so just don’t do it."

Houston, we have a problem.
Those who disobey and refuse to fall into lockstep face fines between $3,000 to $10,000, while corporations face fines between $20,000 and $100,000. Thankfully, the Canadian dollar is even worse than ours so there's that.
The order remains active under the province’s state of emergency, which has been extended every two weeks and currently runs until Feb. 6, CBC News reported. State of emergency? Now that's an overused term they got from the Biden administration. It has become a tool for dictators and we are allowing this garbage to continue.

The Freedom Convoy set out last Sunday to protest the vaccine mandate for cross-border truckers that was imposed on the ides of January. Somehow truckers, who work alone, confined in their closed vehicles, and not involved with unloading their truck, are magically able to spread the dreaded omicron scourge. It is estimated that about 15% of Canadian truckers [around 16,000] are not fully vaccinated for whatever reasons. Some have already had Covid and have better protection than the vaccine offers and therefore don't need the jab; others have medical issues making the jab risky; and still others want to decide for themselves whether they want to put a foreign substance into their Canadian body.
Canadian Prime Minister and pretty boy Justin Trudeau doesn't have the gonads to support the free speech of protesters, so he has said nothing about the Nova Scotia dictate.
The organizers of the trucker protest have called for getting rid of all COVID-19 restrictions and vaccine mandates and others called for getting rid of Prime Minister Justin Trudeau, as PM. He really is kind of an idiot but that seems to be the level of our leaders nowadays.
The spokesman of the convoy called the protest "impressive" last week, claiming it was more than 40 miles long. Guinness World Records show that the longest convoy recorded took place in Egypt in 2020, coming in at nearly 5 miles long. [They were protesting cruelty to camels.]
Trudeau denounced the protest last week as composed of a "small fringe minority who are on the way to Ottawa who are holding unacceptable views."

Unacceptable views? In other words, if you don't do as we say, you will pay.
"What we are hearing from some people associated with this convoy is completely unacceptable," the wannabe dictator [the 'tator' is silent] added.
The convoy made it to Ottawa, the Canadian capital on Saturday, when thousands of people were seen joining the protest there.
"I’m locked into my own country right now," Tom Pappin, who is unvaccinated and joined the protest from just outside Ottawa, said. "I can’t go on a holiday. I can’t go to a restaurant, I can’t go bowling. I can’t go to a movie. You know, these are things that it’s just gotten out of control."
Trudeau’s itinerary for the day usually says he is in Ottawa if he's at home, but on Saturday it said "National Capital Region" amid a report he's been moved to an undisclosed location, the Associated Press reported. He was last seen wearing his pink "Pussy Hat" and no mask.
