Towing industry Concerned for Safety from NON Violent Peaceful Protesters

If the towing companies stab their friends and customers in the back now, they will never get their business again. The Canadian government is slowly coming to the realization that they’re faced with one of those “Catch-22” paradoxes. When they call in the tow-trucks to tow protesting trucks, the tow-truck drivers are protesting, too. Caving in to Trudeau’s demands could leave them afraid for their safety, they hedge, even though the Freedom Convoy protesters are non-violent and peaceful.

Towing easier said than done

Canadian associations representing the towing industry in Ontario and Alberta warn the frustrated government that clearing the convoy out of Ottawa is a whole lot easier said than done, Emergencies Act or no Emergencies Act.

Justin Trudeau keeps overlooking one little Möbius like twist in the plot line.

As explained by president of the Provincial Towing Association of Ontario, Mark Graves, “demanding private companies remove trucks is a massive undertaking.

Before they start hooking up big-rig diesels, the government needs to give them some assurance. Threats to their safety are an obvious possibility, even though the truckers promise to remain peaceful. The threat they’re really worried about is the one to their business. They work closely with the protesters day-in-and-day-out when they aren’t fighting for everyone’s freedom.

This is all about the protection of our employees,” Graves declares. “We have our members and companies asking us what their rights are. And we’re telling everybody once we have written documentation, then we’ll look at that and get back to everybody. But right now we don’t know anything.

The towing officials plan to keep from knowing anything for as long as they can, then question heavily whatever information the government tries to hand them. Slowly.

Mexican standoff at Canadian border

On Monday, February 14, with the protest approaching three weeks duration, rainbow-sock-wearing Prime Minister Justin Trudeau “invoked the Emergencies Act for the first time since it came into force in 1988.” So far, it hasn’t changed a thing in Ottawa. It did result, however, in the bridge blocking protesters to voluntarily stand down.

They made their statement and knew when enough was enough. On Parliament Hill, entrenched truckers are making paper airplanes out of the notice flyers cops have been handing out and using them to light their barbecue grills. They’ll believe the towing when they see it.

Trudeau can demand towing companies either help police remove vehicles from blockades when asked, or police could seize their tow trucks to remove the vehicles themselves. The drivers won’t cooperate when asked and the police have no idea how to tow a big rig or even operate the wreckers.

It’s ironically become a Mexican Standoff at the Canadian border. Public Safety Minister Marco Mendicino is tearing his hair out over truck drivers “driven by an ideology to overthrow the government.” Especially, because it’s starting to look like that could happen.

On Wednesday, “officers walked along Wellington Street in Ottawa handed out notices to protesters encamped there, telling them they ‘must leave the area now.’” Nobody moved.

Graves notes when the government does finally “use its power to call towing companies to help expedite the removal of the Ottawa blockade,” that “It won’t be easy. It won’t be safe.” On top of that, “They’re calling for 10 to 15 centimeters of snow mixed with rain over the next few days.” With nearly a foot of snow, the plows won’t be able to get through and the the trucks will be buried, making them that much harder to tow away.
