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.

With Trudeau In Hiding, CBC Suggests Putin Behind Truckers' Freedom Convoy
www.zerohedge.com/politic...a-protest-medical-tyranny
Update (1500ET): While in a normal world this would be beyond satire and ridicule, it is perhaps of no surprise whatsoever that the blame for instigation of the "Freedom Convoy" is already being placed on so-called 'Russian actors'...
"...given Canada's support of Ukraine... I don't know it it's far- fetched to ask but there is concern that Russian actors could be continuing to fuel things as this protest grows... perhaps even instigating it..."
As Brian Lilley writes at The Toronto Sun, "the media in this country is not acting as a neutral observer and conduit for news on this matter, most have decided the trucker convoy is the enemy and are treating it as such. Watch any of the news networks or, more importantly, read the Twitter accounts of supposedly objective journalists, or listen to the contempt in their voices as they ask questions to see that they have clearly taken sides."
"Apparently, the journalists on Parliament Hill these days think their job is to hold the opposition and not the government to account. It also appears their job to support some protest movements and attack others based on the personal preferences of the journalists."
The propaganda seems to have reached some, but not others...
In other news, while Trudeau hides in isolation, the Premier of Saskatchewan, a Canadian province that borders the US, calls for an end of the cross-border ban on unvaccinated truckers.
The world's largest truck convoy rolled into Canada's capital, Ottawa, late Friday night and continues today to stage a protest against Prime Minister Justin Trudeau's cross-border vaccine mandates (or as some call it: medical tyranny).
The so-called "Freedom Convoy" - coming from all corners of Canada and even the US, has been traveling all week and is leading the charge in a massive demonstration against government overreach. Truckers from around the world are uniting and staging protests of their own.
As Enrico Trigoso reports at The Epoch Times, Brian Von D, the administrator at “Convoy to DC 2022” announced that they will “join forces” to ride from California to Washington, adding that “America is next.”
“As [the Canadian convoy] moved from the west to the east, [the American truckers] have been filtering into this convoy, and it is absolutely massive. It is known worldwide, it is the largest thus far,” he said in a live video on Facebook.
He added that dates and planned routes would be released soon on a website and various social media platforms, and a GoFundMe page would only be released on their CONVOY TO DC 2022 Facebook page.
“We’re done with the mandates, were done with the government telling us what to do, we will continue and we will follow just like the rest of the world on these trucker protests, and they will be 100 percent legal, they will abide by the law.”
The Parliamentary Protective Service expects as many as 10,000 protesters this weekend in Ottawa, but that figure could be significantly higher. A day ago, we noted 50,000 trucks in a 70km (43.5 miles) long convoy are headed to the capital.
According to the Guinness Book of World Records, the Freedom Convoy is "the largest parade of trucks" ever in the world.
"It’s 70 km (43.5 miles) long,” says Freedom Convoy 2022 spokesperson Benjamin Dichter to the Toronto Sun.
“I have seen footage from an airplane. It’s impressive."
The trucker convoy has been arriving in the capital for the past 12 hours. Additional waves of the convoy will arrive later this afternoon.
Prime Minister of Canada Justin Trudeau called the convoy a "small fringe minority" of those who "do not represent the views of Canadians." Judging by the pictures and videos so far, Trudeau is a liar, and a revolt is underway in the country. Corporate media and government have spent the better part of the week downplaying the convoy ( because they are scared).
On Friday, Trudeau told the Canadian Press that he was worried about the protest turning violent. Organizers of the event have told truckers and anyone else participating in the demonstration to remain peaceful.
CBC said Trudeau and his family left downtown Ottawa on Saturday morning (due to close contact with someone infected with COVID - although he tested negative and triple-jabbed) as the trucker convoy descended on the area. The local news said he left town due to security concerns.
The convoy is expected to bring parts of the metro area to a standstill and block roads in front of parliament until lawmakers repeal a vaccine mandate for truckers hauling freight across the border.
Despite Trudeau calling the protest "small," Ottawa police chief Peter Sloly said they planned a "massive" demonstration on Friday.

Not by Canada, we're not. I'd probably be up in Kanuckistan partying with my trucker buddies, except not one of us is allowed in Canada due to various DWIs and sundry felonies. I'm not sure if the Kryderman is even out of the U.P. gulag yet.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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

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'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.
