This has all been a clusterfuck from the get go. Our government handling of this has been a fucking joke. The refusal to meet the 4 men representing the protesters (invite sent, invite removed), That bully OCallaghan trying to link genuine good honest workers to the far right and Tim Robbins is an insult, deploying rhe army and now every Guard called to duty and the water canon warming up its engine? The government absolutely fucked this one up and turned their back on the citizens. A rag tag government FFFG on the full offensive. I hope this crushes them.

The gov is using the usual playbook same as canada did with the truckers, and won’t cede an inch to keep their corrupt privileges. Keep pushing toward a bitcoin standard where their chessboard tactics don’t matter
