Canada needs all the prayers we can get right now. I sit here this morning in fear. I never dreamt in my 56 years that I'd wake up in a "free" country taken over by an elected in dictator. What went on in Ottawa these last couple days is beyond my comprehension. Police beating, tear gassing, trampling with horses peaceful protestors. The videos of the live feeds on social media makes me sick to my stomach. And of course main stream news is government driven propaganda so it spins the videos in a way to make the police look innocent. 

i used to have great respect for police and the RCMP. Despite all the media backlash in the states I still respected them. This morning I do not. It will take me a long time for that respect to return. 

I have been receiving private messages and seeing social media posts this morning saying to get cash out of our banks ASAP that the government does indeed plan on seizing the bank accounts of anyone who donated money to the convoy. A donation of $25 or more is enough to have your accounts froze. I'm angry, I'm terrified. A friend went to his bank Friday to deposit a check, while there he asked for some cash. The teller told him she had a lot of people taking out cash in fear of their accounts being frozen. I'm scared I donated. 

I apologize for coming here with my vent but I'm truly scared at what is happening in Canada right now. I have a strong faith in my God and I know the only way out of this, or our only hope right now,  is prayer. So I'm humbly asking for you our neighbors to pray for us. 

I will pray for you as well because believe me if this can happen in Canada it can happen anywhere. 

I quit watching the news over a year ago plus I seriously doubt that any news about Canada is on our stations. News on TV has gotten so limited (the reason I quit watching). This really saddens me. I will pray for you. (Live in Texas). 

Amazingly Fox News is doing a pretty decent job reporting the truth. Especially Tucker. I watch the many live feeds from the convoy leaders and organizers and then the clips I've seen from Tucker Carlson are pretty accurate. There is a lady news anchor in India that is also doing a really good job with exposing our prime minister for the dictator he is proving to be. 

thank you so much for your prayers they are truly needed. 

So sad what our world is coming to!  Sounds like your country and ours are both in a world of hurt.  Prayers that we can all get back on the right track and soon!

It sounds like the jackboot crackdown in Ottawa is not having the desired chilling effect that Trudeau expected.  This "fringe group", with beliefs that Fidel Trudeau doesn't agree with, is starting protests across all of Canada.  The most shocking move to me, so far, has been the freezing of bank accounts and shutting down cryptocurrency exchanges. I can't think of a better way to mobilize the masses than to attempt to essentially starve them into submission.

"If you are going through hell, keep going."

- Winston Churchill

Let's not forget that the US has already been through 'peaceful' protests that ravaged Portland, OR, and more in that general area. Then turned around and removed barriers from the Capitol building and called that an 'insurrection!' We're already there with you on the shock and disgust . . but many prayers to you and  your country to come through the situation with better outcome. 

Well, you may be happy because Russia doesn't try to start a big war against you. We have many more countries to pray for and Ukraine is one of these.

Very tough times in Canada. 

So much I want to say but I better not.  Will instead take it up with a higher authority.   

I understand you and your worries, but let's not forget about others.

So very sad what is happening in the world. I know exactly how you feel, I have been watching the decline of my beloved USA for years. 

Prayers being lifted.

Well, aren't you a trolling little butthole?

People are about to be given no choice but to stand up and forcefully remove the dictator minded leader(s) by whatever means is necessary.  We are so close to a world war it is scary. 

Thank you Cancan. Not sure how I should have responded but you said it well. I see only 4 posts from this Dufus so will assume he's a 30 year old virgin sitting his mommas basement joining groups to get attention. 

I'm so sorry that your "leader" pulled a D i ck move and is turning your country into a disaster area.  I sure hope that the people involved get a good outcome because it's soon to be not so peaceful.  The Canadians on this convoy have been so fun to watch and inspirational to all for how well they've gone about their protests.  The singing and dancing as well as the flags and the bridges overpass well wishes are fabulous.  

 Prayers for you and also for the US, because our convoy has started as well.  I know they're putting the fence back up in DC for the State of the Union.   This looks to get real ugly real soon.

I have always expected a world war to break out. I've waited my whole life for someone to push the big red button that says do not touch.  I never expected that it would come from within countries.  I fully expected it to be from an outside source.   

Let's not kid ourselves here.  As far as I'm concerned Ukraine is corrupt as hell too.  In fact, they've been a cesspool of corruption.  How is Ukraine a vital interest to the US?  I'm opposed to any invasion of a neighboring state, but not to the extent that I want to send our kids in to sacrifice their lives in the defense of a nation that is not vital to our national interest. It's high time that the so-called "community of nations" rise to the defense of countries who are being unjustly invaded by hostile neighbors. We can impose sanctions and curtail trade and we can even provide assistance without sending our kids and getting embroiled in yet another proxy war that sucks money and human treasure out of us for as long as we allow it to happen. Calling the government of Ukraine a "democracy" is a stretch, if you look at their history since their inception.  

Regarding Fidel Trudeau's tyranny, I think it helps to look back in history.  In 1933, the German Reichstag was burned to the ground by a communist arsonist, acting alone.  The Reichstag housed the German Parliament.  Hitler was Chancellor of Germany at the time, but he strongarmed the Parliament to pass the "Reichstag Fire Decree". The Reichstag Fire Decree suspended most civil liberties in Germany, including habeus corpus, freedom of expression, freedom of the press, freedom of peaceful assembly, and privacy rights.  These rights were not reinstated during Nazi reign. The decree was used by the Nazis to ban publications not considered "friendly" to the Nazi cause and to imprison anyone viewed as a "threat".  In essence this was a legal weapon to eliminate political enemies. Thus, communists were eventually purged from German society. Later, the parliament passed the "enabling acts", which essentially declared that Hitler was the supreme leader, or dictator. 

The Freedom Convoy was Trudeau's "Reichstag Fire".  This provided the pretense to wield his authoritarian power, by decree.  He has demonstrated that he possesses all the tools to silence his opposition.  He can empower his jackboots to use brutality against protestors....which instills fear.  He can seize assets and cut off access to bank accounts.  He has the upper hand now.  He can strongarm and intimidate people into submission.  The Freedom Convoy wasn't about Covid.  That's over.  It was about rising up against a tyrant who was following in the footsteps of his Marxist dictator father, Fidel Castro.  The protestors have dispersed, but Justin is keeping his "emergency powers" in place......."just in case."

See how that works?

Who knows? Maybe we'll begin seeing another "border crisis", this time at our northern border, after a run on the banks.  Wouldn't that be an ironic twist?

I check the IP and it is actually a user from Kiev, Ukraine.   

Not sure why someone from Ukraine is posting on BHW.   Sent a PM but no response. 

Because there is a large population of Russians in the Ukraine.  They support the Russians and what is going on there.  Spammers.  

It wasn't a spammer.  Spam isn't real people - they are bots.

The way gonany use his/her wording you could tell they were not from America, I thought maybe it was going to be a russian but now we know they are from Ukraine, so sad what is happening to the Ukraine people, but we need to be looking out for the Americans and what that PM is doing to Canada is just unreal, thought he was a better person then this, but hes a dictator that's just hungry for more power and now hes losing his people and are turning against him, he deserves everything he gets, he needs to go find him a basement like Joe Biden they are so much alike its scary. 

Imagine having your bank accounts frozen because you donated to a group of your choosing?  It is hard to comprehend that tyranney so close to our border.

Yep, and for what!!!! What is this PM planning to do with the money I wonder, is he going to just punish his people for a little while with this freezing of the peoples accounts over something they believe in or is he planning something more like seise the money for his own use in the furture? Just makes you wonder what hes thinking. He's someone that cant be trusted anymore, I feel like this is Cuba's way of thinking. So scary that this is happening and its going/could flow over into America so we can be ruin right along with them. People are going mad with power and all this is going to do is cause a war between us and the power ( as in our Goverment) they are feeling. 

Thank you everyone for the prayers and concerns.  It is appreciated more than you.  I attended the welcome home rally yesterday for one of the organizers that is from my community. It was heart warming to attend.  But still so much fear as to the emergency measures act voted in and freezing bank accounts.  I simply ask for continued prayers for our leaders.  Thank you

I can't imagine your fear. Pray and revival can change the hearts of evil men. That's where our hope lies, but our hopes may not align with God's plan. I never dreamed this would happen in Canada and in the US.

Continued prayers.   We did hear from the user from Ukraine - Qonany - they stated they are afraid as the Russians bear down on them.   

Why on earth would someone from Ukraine be on BHW?  There probably hasn't been 10 posts on this forum all day.  They go through the trouble to join a site like this just to write a couple sentences? What's their goal?  Seems odd.

Scott,  I wrote them a private message as well thinking it might be a bot.  I got a real answer.  Not a bot.  And I asked them exactly the same question that you had.  "What are you doing on Barrel Horse World"?

UPDATE- yesterday sock boy (aka Justin Trudeau) cancelled the emergency measures act. ?? Thank you God. Rumour is the senate was NOT buying it one bit. Which is unusual for the senate to not vote with the house. Although it didn't even get to a senate vote. I know I and many others were emailing senators about it. Also rumours that the world bank maybe or some other huge entity heard about sock boy freezing bank accounts and said "ummmm no way little boy". Whatever the case it's been canceled. For now anyway. I think we are far from any rest though in Canada. I think the truckers and sock boys response has ignited a lot of civil unrest. Mind you the civil unrest has been there since Justin took office. Particularly in the west. Talk of western Canada separating is prevalent once again. I'd vote yes to separate tomorrow in a heartbeat beat. Our election system is very flawed. The west has no say. Election here are decided by Ontario and Quebec. And even then primarily by Toronto, Montreal and Ottawa. Anyway thank you all for the prayers they are appreciated so much. ??????

Oregon and Washington are the same way. I5 corridor from Seattle to Salem decide what happens for both states. Rural people, farmer and ranchers dont matter to them. Continued prayers for you and Canada!

Prayers for all of the world who is suffering from their government. For things that are out of the common person's control.
