As we told you yesterday, the U.S. Department of Homeland Security issued a bulletin warning that a trucker convoy could end up heading to Washington, DC in time to get there ahead of President Biden’s State of the Union speech:
In a bulletin obtained by the @AP, DHS said the convoy could begin in Southern California as early as this weekend, possibly disrupting Super Bowl traffic, and reach Washington in March in time for the State of the Union. https://t.co/KUE98fQPdO

Right on cue, the Biden White House is urging Canadian PM Justin Trudeau to take action to end the Freedom Convoy protests:

From the New York Post:
The so-called “Freedom Convoy” protesters blocked the Ambassador Bridge linking Windsor, Ontario, to Detroit for a fourth consecutive day Thursday, prompting the Biden administration to call on Canadian officials to demand an immediate end to the blockade.
Homeland Security Secretary Alejandro Mayorkas and Transportation Secretary Pete Buttigieg discussed the matter with their Canadian counterparts, a White House official told CNN. President Joe Biden is “being regularly briefed” on the situation, the official said.
Clearly the Biden admin wants trucker protests put down before they spread to the U.S.
Let’s see how the Convoy from CA to the capital goes

There’s a way to quickly end the protests, but Trudeau’s not about to go there:
Great to see Biden put some pressure on the PM.
Even the blue states in the USA are removing restrictions.
Its time for Canada to do the same.

When 'protesters' were burning down businesses, looting, and assaulting innocent people, our leaders in DC were raising bail money for them.
Those same leaders are threatening truly peaceful protesters in Canada with military force.
Tell us again who the authoritarians are?
