At some point in that line of events, where do the bulldozers come out? Is the government obligated to preserve the condition of vehicles that are effectively a roadblock? (It probably is, but at the same time .... how far are you going to get in suing the government for siezing/dismantling/bulldozing your vehicle?)

If there are five trucks there, most of this is moot. If there are a couple thousand, this gets interesting.

- How many bulldozers do you have nearby?

- How many bulldozers do you have nearby that are on the government's side here?

- Where's your nearest hole or parking lot big enough to put a couple thousand trucks in, indefinitely?

- Who's going to pay for that? Your truckers are in jail, so you threaten to...jail them if they don't pay?

It's Canada, not Xinjiang. The worst they can do is jail you in a cushy prison for longer, with people who already counted the cost.
