Canada's Truckers

One observation I have made about the Truckers protest is that the action of the police is very similar to the UK police action during the UK miners strike in the 1980s. Thatcher was the PM at the time and her government, and I know this to be true, ordered the police to intimidate the strikers by any means in an attempt to provoke a violent reaction. The miners duly obliged and numerous protests erupted in violence, and with that, their cause was lost. The Canadian Truckers are at the moment resisting the the intimidation of the police. The police provocation will probably get worse but the truckers need to resist the temptation to retaliate. The Ottawa police are out of control and it's only a matter of time before a protest participant is killed.
