My Solution to the Truckers Convoy in Ottawa

My Solution to the Truckers Convoy in Ottawa

Al Ritter

Although I believe 100% on the trucker’s solidarity in the protest in Ottawa, I also believe that they have made some tactical errors. Because they have used their trucks to block the roadways they have made hard targets of themselves. First the City of Ottawa tried to have the trucks towed, and that failed because there are a very limited number of companies that can tow tractor trailers. It failed because the tow companies all told the city the same thing…”We can’t, all our drivers are down with Covid.”

Next the City ordered the Police to confiscate and all fuel jugs used to refill diesel trucks. The truckers took that to court and a judge ruled that the police had to return all fuel jugs refilled. The City even outlawed horn blowing for 10 days. They try every possible socialist tactic to stop this protest, even outlawing any food deliveries to drivers. The City has even tried to confiscate the trucks!

Now here is my idea, they need to make an impression a different way. A way were they are no longer a physical target but only a mental target. They should disband the city protest and regroup, there is no doubt their solidarity is bonded deeply now.

They should all get together and decide to shut down the city from afar. Deny ANY and ALL deliveries to the City of Ottawa, groceries, gasoline, pharmacies, big box stores, etc. They have the ability to cause considerable pain and suffering to the powers to be. The benefit of doing it this way is that there wouldn’t be any physical exposure. If the drivers refuse to deliver to the City there is nobody to go after, and this might be their most effective way to protest. Isolate the City from a supply chain and eventually the citizens will force the City Officials to stop the mandates! You can’t hit a moving target, or one that even refuses to show up to your game, the truckers needs to stop playing by the City’s rules!
