Title: Trudeau and Family Moved to Secret Location Due to Security Reasons Amid Anti-Vax Protests

Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau and his family were moved to a secret location on Saturday due to security reasons amid anti-vax protests.

Anti-vax protesters and truckers late Friday night descended on Parliament Hill in Ottawa.

The protests continued into Saturday.

According to Canadian media, Trudeau and his family were rushed out of their residence and into a secret location.

CBC reported:

A convoy of thousands of truckers and other protesters have descended on Parliament Hill to call for an end to COVID-19 vaccine mandates and other public health restrictions — a raucous demonstration that has police on high alert for possible violence even as organizers urge the growing crowd to be peaceful.

Hundreds of protesters on foot flooded into the parliamentary precinct on Saturday in the midst of an extreme cold warning, joining a lineup of truckers that started to arrive on the scene late Friday night. Many more are expected to descend on the downtown core in the hours ahead, as truckers and their supporters leave muster points in the east and west ends of Ottawa destined for Parliament Hill.

Amid security concerns, Trudeau and his family have been moved from their home to an undisclosed location in the nation’s capital, sources said.

Last time I took my 2001 V6 Mustang to Ford dealer the fucks did a tune up, replaced passenger side window regulator, did a tune up, put in a new heater blower motor, steering bushings, brake line, front brake caliper, changed the anti-freeze, oil, and transmission fluid, but didn't say shit about the fact that the frame was rotted out.

My next car probably would have been a Focus hatchback. Fuck Ford. I kinda liked the Hyundai Veloster, but they stopped selling those too.

Toyo Corrolla hatchback, no turbo, no AWD, no tricky valve bullshit. If I soak myself in the driveway and spray the salt off the undercarriage every March, you think it will last 10 years?

I saw one of those not too long ago, they reminded me of my Geo Storm wagon or hatchback, whatever they called 'em.

I saw a Mini Club Wagon (whoever makes those) when I was foraging for food & booze last Wednesday or Thursday, but I've read those are shit.

I really like the Suzuki Jimny, but they're sold everywhere but the US.

I'm still pissed about that Scion IQ deal in Denver that fell through a couple years ago.

I'm down to one car, the '13 Tacoma, now that Sling Blade's AWD Astro blew up last fall. I gave him the '93 Sonoma.

My buddy Kip bought one of those when they came out. It was silver with the yellow, orange and (I think) red stripes. It was a good looking car. The wagons weren't susceptible to rear end collision fires because the filler neck wasn't behind the license plate.

I SO'd a '79 Pontiac Sunbird Kammback wagon with a 3.8l V6, 5 speed. Some bastard rear ended me during the Three Rivers Festival and bent that bitch bad, before I even had a chance to desmog it and tune it up. I got some SX-70 pics here in the office. That was a damned good looking car. It would've awesome with a GNX motor in it. Stock, that sumbitch couldn't breathe. Late 70s & early 80s cars sucked before FI got mainstream.

That's the color of the '80 Z28 that replaced my Sunbird wagon. Somewhere in there, I had a '79 Mustang 5.0. I think it was a dark rust color. I found a pic, it was dark grey below the beltline. They didn't have GTs yet that might've been '82?

The '79 Mustangs could have a 302 (5.0) but Ford scaled back to the 255ci for 80 and 81, with a whopping 119 horsepower (thanks Jimmy). The 302 returned in '82, with like 139hp. Not good years for performance. Even a big block like the 1977 Pontiac 455 maxed out at 220hp.

I think the Z28 was only 180 or 190 stock. I worked that up a bit from there after taking a couple hundred pounds of smog bullshit off it. You should've seen that air pump deal, Jesus. I became really good at jerking over Rochester Quadra-Jet carbs.

My first car was a '74 Merc Comet with the 250ci straight six. The plumbing on that thing looked like the intro to Monty Python. I pulled half of it and capped off the open holes, it ran much better after that.

Yeah, I've got a Polaroid of the vacuum hose routing sticker that looks like that from the Z28.

When I took the giant pancake cat out of the exhaust, it didn't give me a commensurate increase in breathing so I pulled one of the pipe plugs out of the exhaust manifolds where the air pump hooked in. There was flared pipes down in the holes, about 1/4" OD, 2.5" long to inject the air deep into the exhaust ports of the heads. I fished a thin mechanic's wire with a little hook on the end to pull those out. That made things much less bad.

I hate to think what that pellet type cat would be worth today. I don't remember how I got rid of all that junk. There used to be a service procedure to replace those pellets. I think it involved some kind of vibratory GM tool that you'd hook up after prying out the metal sheet metal plug on the bottom of the cat. I don't remember how you were supposed to get the new pellets in.

The problem was the heads that, at best, were running about 8.3 atmospheres. Shit, even a Ford 460ci was only putting out 202hp by 1977.

A 1965 289 with 10.5:1, solid lifters was good for 271hp. A 1969 Boss 302 (street engine, not the racing version), 11:1 c/r was laughably rated at 290hp, for insurance. They actually put out about 350hp, if you kept the rpm up. The change from gross to net hp in 71/72 moved the scale, but by then everyone also had dialed back compression, cams, valve size, and carb cfm. A 1970 Pontiac Firebird 400 Ram III would blow the doors off a 1973 455HO.

Yeah, true, but the induction and exhaust was really restricted back then. I might have squeezed 240-250HP out of that 5.7, I'm not sure except it was a helluva lot better than stock. Sounded awesome too. I got recruited by the company shortly after that and my car tuning days were pretty much over.

Put a pair of Boss 302 heads (and intake manifold) on a two bolt main 302 from a 78 Mustang II and stand back, it will blow up if it doesn't seize up first.

And that's not even touching the crazy high lift cam or swapping out the mushy hydraulic lifters for solids.

In 1961, Ford offered a hi-po 390, with 11.5:1 heads, solid lifters, dual points, and a Holley 4bbl. 375hp. 401hp with duel Holleys. That fell by the wayside with into of 406 in 672, and 427 in 63. The 427 was a beast, and very expensive and by 1966, Ford was offering a 4bbl 390 in the Fairlane, but it was little more than the regular 390 as might be found in a station wagon but with a 4bbl carb. A Total Embarrassment against 389 Ponchos/383 Magnum MoPars/396 Chevies/400 Buick GS.

Even the 428s in the 67 Shelby GT500 was just the regular Police Interceptor engine. Dealers were pissed off, that was what prompted the 428 Cobra Jet. On paper, it was rated at 335hp, a ludicrously low number Ford used to screw with NHRA, so it could run against 340 MoPars and such.

I think Chev came out later with the 307, but that was a destroked 327 in the post OPEC embargo era.

Probably a de-bored 350, come to think of it. Casting crankshafts is expensive.

I'm hoping some fool sideswipes my Mustang just enough to total it but not total me. Still pissed that the Ford dealer did $3,500 of work without mentioning that the frame was rotted out.

I'll bet. Sling Blade dumped a bunch of work and my money in his van just before the tranny puked. It happens.

When the Sonoma puked out it cost a ton of money and three whacks to get it on its feet again. I don't remember how much, but I joked around with Chip that I should've paid him in gold bullion. It was probably 3X what KBB said it was worth, but it only had 59k on the clock. That's why Jon has the Sonoma now. I'm not gonna spend money like that that on me.

I saw a Scotty Kilmer vid today about the new Maverick Ford truck. I guess Toyota Tacomas have an insane resale on them. My 2013 has less than 10k on the clock. I offered it to an electrician for 30k, geared up, last fall. I may have been shooting low from what Scotty was saying.

I just hit 90K today. Started right up after sitting since Wednesday, outside, and you know how cold it's been. I don't think it's ever gone 3K without an oil change, or 30K between tranny/diff change. Probably at least 100K left in the drivetrain. Ford dealer changed the pass side brake caliper and hose, didn't bother to mention there was a huge gaping hole in the shock tower. Bastards.

Not an engineer. More like that gray area between enthusiast, autistic, OCD, and retard that yells at birds to go poop somewhere else. :)
