Good morning everyone, except for the insurgent insurrections trying to deliberately tank the economy, raise food prices, cost jobs, & overthrow government.

I'll be starting a new thread to track #AmbassadorBridgeBlockade developments.

Follow along & share if you're inclined
Zello chatter says OPP remains throughout the area & MTO on the way via the 401.

Protestors want to get an inflatable screen to show the Superbowl on, & there's talk about making t-shirts...

They also don't like Mayor Dilkens
Protestors are trying desperately to set up a music and video streaming platform to physically present.
These people have never organized a public event before - obviously - and it shows.

"Think the city will turn all the street lights off for us?"

"No way dude"
There is chatter that PM Trudeau saw his head of security resign. False.

"I don't know if it happened, but it's clear he's falling"

"Monday we vote Trudeau out"
There's not much to add now, but I want to say:

Many protesters are angry, upset, & scared. They're dealing with family court, children's aid Society, & children who haven't been in school who are facing issues. COVID toll is real.

They're taking it out on all of us though
These protestors actually think they represent 100% of Canada and not the 20% who are unvaxxed.
93% of all truckers are vaccinated.

They live in an alternate universe filled with alternate facts. They are all the star of their own show though
Zello users are upset the news media has found their PUBLIC channel (Hello!) and that divisions in the group are being amplified and reported on.

It's still a PUBLIC group though!
I am going off comms for a bit as I head to the dentist.

Just a terrible way to start the day. Why did I agree to this?
Windsor Police are trying to get a lane open.
$300 million in trade a day crosses this bridge.
This economic terrorism must end
#AmbassadorBridgeBlockade

I am back from the dentist. Four shots have Frozen my lower jaw, and I've had a cavity filled. The experience was far better than documenting the #AmbassadorBridgeBlockade idiots
Police are still blocking access to Huron Church at Tecumseh.
#AmbassadorBridgeBlockade
OPP holding down the perimeter in west Windsor.
Never seen OPP operationally before on Windsor streets outside of OAS in the early 90s when I was just a kiddo
I spoke with Chris who is a West Windsor resident about the blockade, the protests, and mandates. He supports mandates. He doesn't support the blockade.
#AmbassadorBridgeBlockade
This is a panoramic video of the Wyandotte Street entrance of the #AmbassadorBridgeBlockade.
There are a number of big rigs that you can count on one hand, and far more passenger vehicles.
It's cold.
A lone Windsor Police cruiser sits at the Windsor entrance to the Detroit Windsor Tunnel.

Protesters have been clear that they do not want to block the tunnel because they want to keep it open for emergency services.

#AmbassadorBridgeBlockade
Zello users mentioned a mass casualty event at Windsor Regional Hospital downtown campus.

This... Does not look like a mass casualty event at the ER entrance.

Paranoia runs high among Zello protestors Image
Doug Ford has abdicated his role as premier.

This is unconscionable

If you're looking for background about the Ambassador Bridge, its history, and our new bridge, the Gordie Howe bridge, to be completed in 6 years or so, here is a useful profile to read.

#AmbassadorBridgeBlockade

Too much Zello chatter about organizing a Superbowl party.
They can't decide on an inflatable screen or truck to project on.

I'm taking an hour off.

Aside: This is my father, John Liedtke. He ran Windsor's official NFL Superbowl XL event. He says protestors aren't organizers... Image
Too good not to post .

"We're not blocking the bridge, the bridge is open, we're just protesting"

Narrator: The bridge is closed

Zelloers also talking about Michigan Gov. Whitmer's demand to reopen bridge. People calling her "communist" & a "witch".

#AmbassadorBridgeBlockade
This protestor breaks down crying when she says she drove by a grade school and the children all yelled freedom while ripping their masks off and pumping fists in the air.
🚨🚨🚨
ZELLO channel seems to be hacked. Everyone is getting booted. Trusted users, anonymous users.

Again, it's a PUBLIC CHANNEL
It's been like this for ten minutes on Zello

Evam89 WHY? Image
Windsor Ontario is seeking an injunction to have the protestors removed from the #AmbassadorBridgeBlockade

Mayor Dilkens: This is a "national crisis."

Thinking of joining? "think again."

They've "gone too far."

Q from Wall Street Journal: do you have enough law enforcement if you get injunction? How many did you request?

A Dilkens: Yes. Request for OPP & RCMP approved. We will have the right number of people.
If we can't gain voluntary compliance other measures will be taken
Q- when will you be in court?

A- Dilkens: today. We will work with police to enforce
Q- how is traffic into USA?

A- DILKENS: police will first negotiate. This is leaderless movement & many believe they represent it...

(I'm not sure what happened with that answer tbh)
Q- what's economic impact this has locally over 4 days?

A Dilkens: $400mil/day across Ambassador Bridge in trade. [1.6 billion at end of today].
Q- cost to city?

A Dilkens: we are tracking all dollars spent and will provide total figure.

City is asking upper government for financial support

#AmbassadorBridgeBlockade
Q- hope to get injunction in next few hours, & enforcement beginning this evening...when?

A Dilkens: we hope we don't have to move in & protestors will voluntarily leave.
Police will determine when and how if needed
Q- tow trucks were seen last night but then removed...was there a plan that changed?

A Dilkens: I'm not aware of that situation. Ask police.

#AmbassadorBridgeBlockade
Q- Uncertainty about what land (city, provincial or federal) protest is on. Did that slow action?

A Dilkens: most protest on city land. Windsor Police working.
Huron Church technically city road, but not run of the mill. Provincial & federal intervention required to end this
Q- does this put Just in Time business model in question?

A @FlavioVolpe1 @APMACanada - No. We are highly integrated with USA. This is a singular incident
Q- impact for region's reputation?

A @FlavioVolpe1 @APMACanada - single event won't change Windsor. But if border not cleared, could impact short & midterm local investment

A- @rakeshnaidu1212 - needs to be resolved immediately. Could cause rethink of supplychain into Canada
Dilkens: even if all mandates dropped in Canada, the United States has almost same mandates so it wouldn't change anything.

Protest moved to antigovernment from mandates
Q- how far are you willing to go? Enough resources for mass arrest & towing 100s of vehicles?

A- that's a police question. But Michigan is offering resources to end protest.
We want this peaceful.
Court injunction has to be enforced, by police.
#AmbassadorBridgeBlockade
Q- what else is necessary to restore trade relationship beyond ending protest?

A- competition for auto investment intense, esp. w/ electrification.
Worrisome when supplychain impacted; erodes confidence.
Must have reliable & resilient trade infrastructure to win new investment
Dilkens: might appear to be Canadian protest, but France passed legislation to ban truck convoys & USA preparing for Superbowl convoy
Q- what's injunction & what will it do?

A Dilkens: court order to force people to stop. Document given to police to enforce. Hopeful court approves & police can better Move forward with endorsement
That's the end of the City of Windsor economic impact press conference of the #AmbassadorBridgeBlockade

I'll be tweeting today as developments arise.

Takeaway:
1. Windsor in court today
2. OPP presence strong
3. Michigan offered support & resources
4. This will end
Mayor Dilkens throws Windsor Police Chief under convoy:

“I would have wanted this ended within the first couple hours of it starting. Unfortunately, I don’t have that authority. That is the responsibility of the chief. It’s not a criticism of the chief."
wdet.org/2022/02/10/win…
What a coincidence that right when the provincial & federal economics are crippled by terrorism, Ontario's top doc says Omicron is over & mandates should be reconsidered.

Zello news!

Windsor Convoy 2 mass banning ongoing.
Even HOT DONNA was blocked.

Fortunately, the very smart protestors have moved over to WINDSOR CONVOY 3
Protestors reporting on Zello heavily increased police presence in West Windsor, with reports of towtrucks in the area.
This all coming after Windsor seeks injunction.

Take this all with a grain of salt.

Working on sourcing photos (anyone with photos or vids SLIDE INTO MY DMs).
File in the potential Actions Meet Consequences folder.

As always, I'm looking for sources to help me keep reporting. Message me if you have tips! Image

There is a new Zello Channel, surprisingly NOT Windsor convoy 4.

"Convoy for our freedom Windsor"

It's a public channel. They're asking everyone to to swear because it exposes the trolls who love swear words.
#AmbassadorBridgeBlockade
UWindsor Leddy Library & St. Denis Centre close early tonight

The Library is closest to Wyandotte Street entrance to bridge, St. Denis closest to Huron Church entrance.
Ie: buildings close to blockades closing early.

News comes after injunction sought
#AmbassadorBridgeBlockade Image
Following news of Windsor seeking injunction:

1. ⬆️ WPS & OPP
2. Chatter of towtrucks nearby
3. OPP controlling traffic @ points
4. Rumours of command & control w/ city managers (indicating enforcement)
5. UWindsor closures

#AmbassadorBridgeBlockade
Following up on Windsor Regional Hospital CODE ORANGE:

1. Hospitals ARE prepping Code Orange
2. Code Orange WASN'T called but TRIAGE AND PREP UNDERWAY
3. Code Orange = Mass casualty/disaster event

Enforcement likely soon

#AmbassadorBridgeBlockade
"We need more support down here. We are thinning out."

"Looks like we'll be cleared at 7pm"

"Send support"

Tales from the #AmbassadorBridgeBlockade Zello
"Who would talk through their dog?
What kind of person would do that?
Just use your own mouth and be a man"

what in the world are they talking about? Are they training dogs to talk & then speaking for them?!?!
Protestors are increasingly concerned of the coming injunction and being overwhelmed by Windsor Police.

They're seeing dumptrucks blocking intersections & are trying to organize to overcome police.

There's a term for preventing police from working...

"we need guys at 711 now. We can't lose 711!"

"Cavalry is coming! CAVALRY IS COMING JUST AROUND THE BEND!"

"We need people like now."

"IT IS CRUCIAL TO COMPLY WITH POLICE. SUPER DUPER."

"Definitely don't fight police"

WHERE IS FREDDY AND HIS TRUCK?

Why did the geese cross the road? To get away from the insurgent insurrectionists holding millions hostage with economic terrorism.

#AmbassadorBridgeBlockade Image
They're terrified of losing the 7/11 intersection

In the future when their children are adults they will tell stories of the Battle for West Windsor 7/11.

They came because of covid mandates but stayed because of slurpees.

10/10 would watch this movie
#AmbassadorBridgeBlockade Image
There is ample concern that 7/11 is an ambush and that police? might stab them on arrival.

Another user implores they need support at 7/11 now.

The Zello goes silent

#AmbassadorBridgeBlockade
GUYS smartcar Jake is being sought.

Do you know where smartcar Jake is?

#AmbassadorBridgeBlockade
#BattleFor711
Current photo of the Wyandotte Street entrance to the Ambassador Bridge.
There are about 5 cars and a dozen protestors.
No wonder they're afraid of losing 711.

📸 @MartyBevan1

#AmbassadorBridgeBlockade Image
Here's chatter of protestors both onsite and online on Zello:

There is concern of trolls in the chat.

One protestor states the FBI doesn't operate on horseback in Ontario.

Face Check: True

#AmbassadorBridgeBlockade
They are convinced they will be raided by police in minutes.

The #battlefor711 may be imminent

#AmbassadorBridgeBlockade
"what can police even do at this point?"

"Charge us with disorderly conduct...so we need to show in numbers"

"We have lawyers on speed dial"

"F'ing government just making laws"

"They can't throw us all in jail"

"They can throw some of us"

#AmbassadorBridgeBlockade
New UWindsor student group issues ultimatum: Students threatening mass action if Wyandotte remains occupied beyond Sunday.

The #AmbassadorBridgeBlockade has a second site at the Wyandotte entrance to the Bridge. That is directly in front of UWindsor's main campus (my old school) Image
There is disgust law enforcement may be using school busses to traffic in additional officers.

This is ironic coming from the crowd that deploys children as human shields in their economic terrorist attack of North America.

#AmbassadorBridgeBlockade
There is concern MANITOBA DARYL may have been arrested after punching a police officer.

No condemnation by protestors of attacking police. Just concern for protestor.

Who knows if it happened

Some want to sing O Canada, but others don't.

#AmbassadorBridgeBlockade Image
The bouncy castles have arrived.
I repeat, the bouncy castles have arrived.

📸 @MartyBevan1

#AmbassadorBridgeBlockade Image
Reports they are seeing SWAT suiting up to raid, SWAT using fire department as staging ground, & school busses as transit.

Take with a grain of salt.

There are 30 people at the #BattleFor711

#AmbassadorBridgeBlockade
"Saw 6 to 8 cops exit a full size van heading into the fire hall.
School bus parked there."

Protestors are concerned Windsor ESU (SWAT) will be swarming the #BattleFor711 imminently.

"SWAT guy grey Ford suiting up as we speak"

#AmbassadorBridgeBlockade

"Cops have been great all week. It's a scare tactic. I don't think they'll come in strong"

#AmbassadorBridgeBlockade
FREDDY IS DEMORALIZED!

"Whatever happens, I just want to say I'm sorry guys. I tried."

"Don't worry Freddy! You did good!"

"It seems impossible, but you just have to hold the line...just hold the line"

"WE NEED PEOPLE EVERYWHERE"

#AmbassadorBridgeBlockade
"I'm just saying, I'm talking to some other guys, and we're not going to do this longer."
There is big concern about the use of thumbs up & down in the Zello chat.

Protestors feel thumbs downs are from trolls, so the suggestion is to rebrand thumbs down to hearts.

This is high level command and control of an insurrection.

👎=♥️
The Zello has gone silent.

#AmbassadorBridgeBlockade
FREDDY IS BACK, but still demoralized & apologies again to the group that the #BattleFor711 looks like it's not going to go well.

#AmbassadorBridgeBlockade
Protestors in the Zello (sounding drunk) explain that a ban on swearing is used to suss out dissent. If people swear, BLOCKED.

Freddy again apologies about the #Battlefor711

#AmbassadorBridgeBlockade
Going to need an honest broker, a real Canadian patriot, to go and update this list with the #BattleFor711.

We can't let this history go unknown. It is our duty to commemorate this event.

They think the tanks are going to roll into Windsor to end the #Battlefor711 at the #AmbassadorBridgeBlockade

Fear is palpable. Image
The #Battlefor711 will produce brave soldiers of war who will be commemorated with schools named after them in the future.

Hot Donna High

Pour one out for the fallen.

The protestors are suggesting that if one of them is arrested, the protestor being arrested break out into song with O' Canada while the other film. They think this will shame police.

Not sure what it'll accomplish, but, hell ya. Canada!

NEW LIVESTREAM DROPPED!

#AmbassadorBridgeBlockade

Protestors on the Livestream say they have been economically under attack for two years and the only way to level the playing field is to attack back.

They want to be heard.

#AmbassadorBridgeBlockade
MANBAE is both humble and a populist.

#AmbassadorBridgeBlockade
One protestor doesn't understand how the government has authority to enforce legislation through policing action, "it's actually insane, it really goes to show nothing is off limits".

This is a protestor trying to OVERTHROW GOVERNMENT

#AmbassadorBridgeBlockade
Weirdest. Rave. Ever.
#AmbassadorBridgeBlockade
The #AmbassadorBridgeBlockade has EVERYTHING.

Grade school kids in bounce castles
Explicit drug references
LazyBoy Chairs & Street hockey
Hot Donna

Conspiracy theories
Insurrection
Protestor: don't let the wicked goad you into doing something stupid and illegal so they can judge you and arrest you

Narrator: They had infact, already done something stupid and illegal

#AmbassadorBridgeBlockade
Protestor: When christian god is recognized, everyone benefits.
We've replaced god with state.
No one is moving to China or Saudi.
People move to Canada because we are christian & free.
Statist totalitarianism is problem, not mandates.
#AmbassadorBridgeBlockade
Protestor: The protestor speaking for Christianity and God demanding we submit to benevolent rule understands there are non Christians in the crowd, but they are blessed by Christ.

The Livestream cuts into Uncle Fucker.

#AmbassadorBridgeBlockade
You should all really listen to the entire video, but the ending is pretty swell too.

Either way, this push for a Christian State is pretty damn terrifying.

Protestors are VERY concerned US Immigration and Customs Enforcement will be invading the country to perform action for the Canadian Children's Aid Society.

#AmbassadorBridgeBlockade
"Do you need us down there, or can we stay home?"

They have no clue who anyone is.

I KNOW, IT'S HOT DONNA

I'd like to take this time to say hello to all of you new followers! Welcome!

I truly hope you all care about Windsor municipal politics as much as you do the #ambassadorbridgeblockade.

Damn, the Canada Trump rally is heading south.

This will end poorly for protestors. Image

Foreign financing & organizing, & now amplification via foreign media.
This hurts Canada AND America. Why support this? #midterms?

There's reporting Ontario will invoke new emergency measures tomorrow to grant new powers for province to deal with #ambassadorbridgeblockade

"are we keeping that spot?"

"We're holding the line"

Me, whispers into the abyss: this isn't WWII

#AmbassadorBridgeBlockade
"Are the police keeping THEIR blockades up?"

"I'd love the CANADIAN GOVERNMENT have the Americans come over to help take us out"

"Have fun getting across the border"

"I've seen too many posts about injunctions..."

"scare tactics"

#AmbassadorBridgeBlockade
"the last thing you want them to know is any strategy"

A big problem in chat is people discuss strategy.

There is too much swearing. There could be kids, 10 year olds listening, we don't know. Please refrain from swear words at the insurrection.
#AmbassadorBridgeBlockade
Swearing is a BIG problem guys.
At the insurrection there can be NO swearing.
Kids might be sneaking into parents truck cabs, taking their phones, & spending the night listening to organizing meetings on Zello for the insurrection.
#AmbassadorBridgeBlockade
They don't know how to deal with swearing at the insurrection.
BossHoggsz suggests recording the good clips from the chat to lull the kiddos to sleep later.
#AmbassadorBridgeBlockade Image
Chat has gone audio silent.
People are discussing being put in the dog house by their wives.

420Ronda thinks MANBAE will be proposed to by the end of this. An insurrection wedding in spring could be a pretty affair, but also, a HELL of a party.

#AmbassadorBridgeBlockade
Premier DOUG FORD says he will pull "passports...getting back to normal. I can't give you the exact date, but it will be very soon" to a random phoner.

He also told me he'd legalize cannabis lounges before criminalizing them (my old biz).
#AmbassadorBridgeBlockade
MANBAE is back but says the Wyandotte #AmbassadorBridgeBlockade is thinning out.

If they lose their troops, the police might take the 711

Someone left this on a car. They are sure it's antifa.
Another person says it was their team who did it to protect cars from police.
There is confusion.
MANBAE says he doesn't rap, he sings.

#AmbassadorBridgeBlockade
Folks, the Zello chat turned into a COVID COMEDY CORNER.
MANBAE up first.
#AmbassadorBridgeBlockade
MANBAE needs a COLUMBIA french vanilla to stay awake.
They joke MANBAE runs on fumes like their truck and car.

#AmbassadorBridgeBlockade
The ZELLO has gone quiet, many are going to sleep.
I want to go to sleep.
But if you sleep, is that when insurrection happens?
Hard to say with these folks.
Can we just go on a break?

#AmbassadorBridgeBlockade
MANBAE is roleplaying with the protestors
#AmbassadorBridgeBlockade
Fact check: true
#AmbassadorBridgeBlockade Image
Guys, this is is a FREAKING REVOLUTION and we'll never have one again in our lifetimes
#AmbassadorBridgeBlockade
Baby Fing says she doesn't see police action near barricades.

MANBAE asks if she has snow on her.

She indicates someone will not be happy with that question.

This is the #AmbassadorBridgeBlockade folks
MANBAE is TIRED and needs a massage.
He propositions a woman to take initiative.
She indicates she may take tomorrow off.
IS THIS THE RELATIONSHIP LEADING TO MANBAE's proposal?
IS INSURRECTION LOVE BLOSSOMING?
#silverlinings
#AmbassadorBridgeBlockade
You have to feel like he's talking about Windsor, right? Right?

#AmbassadorBridgeBlockade deserves branding.
Something SCREAMING essential, imposing, & irrelevant all at once.

Who's the artist to distill this agitprop event into a everlasting AND striking visual format?

Need shares to find THAT Canadian artist.
This is important history.
Bed time!
Hope the insurrection won't happen, but if it's tomorrow, I'll be ready to let you know while making shit jokes about it.
Night!

Pierre Poilievre gave media the home address of a Canadian waitress and called her house a shack.

“I found it a little bit embarrassing especially when I seen it on social media...It’s not the greatest house on the street but it’s definitely not a shack.”
chch.com/pierre-poiliev…
Hell of a campaign strategy...

Personally, I wouldn't send the nation's media to hound an unsuspecting and hardworking waitress in an attempt to manufacture a story for crass partisan political gain to directly insult her & her home, but what do I know, I'm not "Running for PM"
Can we also talk about how we need far more of these types of homes, which are not shacks!

Post-war homes like these raised countless families with numerous inhabitants per home.

Not every house needs 5 bedrooms, 3 baths, a swimming pool and game room.

Drew Dilkens says he should remain mayor of Windsor because he's 'Leadership that Delivers' while his opponent is 'Risky and Radical'.

90% of Canadian truckers are vaccinated according to their industry association. The United States won't let unvaccinated truckers in. Not one participating trucker can explain to me how protesting Trudeau will change Biden's mind.
No one has a right to a job. No one is forcibly vaccinated. Truckers can operate domestically.

This is a political stunt: It's the same organizers of UNITED WE ROLL about pipelines, sought to split apart Canada through WEXIT, now pretend their politics is about vaccines.
On live videos they proudly call themselves bigots and advocate for a Jan 6 insurrection attack like in the USA at Parliament Hill.

When 90% of their own members are vaccinated, you know they aren't speaking for their own.
