Coutts border crossing attracts 10,000 truckers on weekend

Last Saturday roughly 10,000 truckers gathered to participate in a slow roll at the Coutts/Sweet Grass border in protest of the mandates.

About 300 stayed behind and ended up blocking the border to attract the attention of the government.

Here is a view of the convoy in windy Coutts, Alberta.

The border opened after an act of good faith following negotiations regarding a RCMP checkpoint restricting medicine, food and fuel to the peaceful protestors.

Update: Negotiations have started, the protestors are wondering why the mainstream media can pass RCMP checkpoints but their food and water can't.

Rebel News was mentioned as the only news outlet they want here.

Since the checkpoint began, thousands of supporters have gathered in Milk River in hopes to reach Coutts and protest with the truckers.

The negotiations abruptly ended the minute council arrived, Chad Williamson who is being crowdfunded at truckerlawyer.ca. The police essentially said, move or be arrested.

Update: fourth and what seems a final negotiation has begun.

Move or be arrested is the demand

Following that, there was a standoff between truckers and RCMP that resulted in a retreat from the police and bought a few extra days for the truckers.

The most recent development was farmers who rolled in late last night, circumventing the Milk River checkpoint. These farmers by everyone's surprise took matters in their own hands and blocked the border again.

The border opened early this morning, which tells us the protestors are in a game of chess with the government - both showing the other what moves are still left in this everlasting situation.

Windy morning here in Coutts.

The border has since opened from last nights tractor blockade - as it seems it was a signal to the government that the protestors still have the upper hand.

They want mandates lifted.
