OH, DEAR GOD ... there is actual video of the Alberta RCMP setting up a roadblock, and trucks and tractors simply driving around it. Holy shit, the incompetence.

Ah, I see we've reached the "convincing Sideshow Bob to leave town" portion of negotiations.
"Now don't you fret. When I'm through, he won't set foot in this town again. I can be very, VERY persuasive."
...
"C'mon, leave town!" "No." "Aww, I'll be your friend!" "No." "Oh, you're mean!"
It's a good thing these morons aren't Indigenous, or else the RCMP would be negotiating with bullets and billy clubs, at minimum.
Weren't the Alberta RCMP blowing up oil wells in the late '90s as part of an oil industry dirty tricks campaign? If the protestors were blocking oil trains, I think we'd see a very different approach.
