Police are now resorting to stealing fuel and supplies from the truckers. They’re also apparently trying to arrest anybody who assists in providing supplies to the truckers.

Canada is a police state: heavily armed Ottawa police are engaged against citizens. They have raided the #FreedomConvoy2022 staging area on Coventry depriving peaceful protesters of food & fuel #CometoOttawaforFreedom #NoMoreLockdowns pic.twitter.com/Anntz8sVsy

This guy is saying that the fuel they seized is minimal.
Update on the Fuel Situation in Ottawa
"[Police] stole a couple jerry cans of gas… they're scare tactics… As you can see, [fuel] has not gone anywhere. People are still in high spirits. Donations are still here, fuel is still here, and it will still go to the truckers." pic.twitter.com/Kjl9fnGWsG

I don’t see how these tactics are going to work. They can’t arrest everyone and they can’t seize all of their supplies. Plus, this is outright theft and it is only going to embolden support for the truckers. They also have no plan to remove any of the trucks. The fact that they are targeting their fuel supply sort of speaks to that.
Ottawa is also just one front in this battle. Border crossings have been shut down by similar protests and other cities like Toronto have been occupied by farmers with their tractors and rigs.
You would think the government would just open a dialogue with the truckers, but the fact that they are hell-bent in maintaining these vaxx mandates and other insane measures just speaks to how evil these people are.
