I watched Sparkle Socks on TV last night. Sat at the kitchen table this morning and watched the truckers news conference on You-tube.
I figure I can sit in jail just as easy as at the kitchen table—hell I’m retired and ain’t much use to anybody anyway. Ottawa is a straight shot down Highway 11 which runs past my front door. I got the old car gassed up—packed a small duffel bag—prolly put a couple of jerrycans in the trunk. It’s prolly a 12 hour drive.
Soon as the live feeds from Ottawa drop I’ll be on my way.

Morning, Dwayne. A bright and sunny -4C here today. You can feel the sun getting warmer each day.
If you think about it, this is really the first real challenge Sparkle Socks has faced in his tenure. A feckless Conservative Party leadership along with the media and Privy Council running interference on any other scandals have made him feel like a God-Emperor.
One can just imagine him stomping his feet in frustration because those mean truckers just won't listen!!!
Not much happening this morning. Late night for myself. We have a few short meetings to do today but that’s about it.
With the injunction in place it’s pretty quiet around here now. Still people coming out every day to see what’s going on and supporting all of us here. There is a flag raising every afternoon along with everyone joining in for the national anthem (pre-Justrun anthem).
There are rumours flying around online that this area will go dark and we will be swarmed and arrested by Friday. No one has validated these rumours.
I haven’t seen anyone get worked up about it as scare tactics have been what the police and government have been doing even before we arrived.
Weather has warmed up, probably close to 0 right now and a few flakes have started to fall.
First thing I do when I wake up is Pray for my brethren. We are winning, they are flying Canadian flags in foreign Countries as their convoys get under way.

673; That's really something isn't it?
This is yet another area of life where if you'd have asked me even a month ago if I could foresee a situation where that'd happen, I'd have bet money against it.
My goodness it's a good thing I don't gamble, you know?
Everyday we look back here waiting for your words of support as well. I personally have felt at peace this entire time, I haven’t had any bad days yet. It’s almost unfair. There are those around here that ride a rollercoaster of emotions in relation to what is happening around us. They waiver in their surety of the support behind and around them.
I take your words of encouragement and share them with those that need reassuring. It generally doesn’t take long to turn around a few sour thoughts. Your words go further than you may know.
Nashville; Thanks for that, I appreciate you sharing that with us.
For me, as I've aged and our kids grew up and started their own lives, the tough part about being a dad was that I didn't feel as "useful" as when they were younger.
My absolute best days for our kids and their significant others is when I can help them in a meaningful way be it making a shelf, installing some cabinets or countertops or helping with an oil change. We're rural so can do work on cars in our yard and one is in a strata and one rents so even oil changes are not allowed.
Anyway all that to say sir that when I'm able to do something "useful" for you such as petition the Creator on your behalf - well that's a blessing for me too, if that makes sense?
So yah, the dads here will continue to pray for you and your BIL for peace, wisdom and discernment.
If you ever make it out to the Okanagan, there's some coffee with your name on it too.
Dwayne
Edit to add; It goes without saying hopefully that I pray for our daughters, their significant others and my entire family daily as well, since I believe with all my heart its effective and has proven to be useful for sure.
Good morning, Nashville. I posted this in another thread. What are the Ontario truckers saying about the possibility of losing their commercial licenses? The federal transport minister suggested to Doug Ford that he should pull them.

Thanks again guys.
I have been firing off letters to Native groups asking for a clarification of position, sitting on the fence isn't a position. Time to nut up, my people haven't contributed to Canada in 135 years, why lie.
Good morning Steve, I have not heard anyone mention it. We have seen the article but I’m not sure anyone really cares too much? If they do suspend the truckers licenses, they would then have to deal with towing all the trucks that would now have no driver. Towing companies have declined to tow anyone here and there are many more people that would come in and take our places or blockade the blockade such as done in Alberta.
