Over 7 million has been raised for these truckers via GoFundMe to cover fuel, food, lodgings, etc. The fundraiser is called "Freedom Convoy 2022".

"On Sunday, Musk replied to a tweet showing a video of protesters in Ottawa.

“It would appear that the so-called ‘fringe minority’ is actually the government,” he wrote.

It was followed by another tweet saying, “If the government had the mandate of the people, there would be a significant counter-protest. There is not, therefore they do not.”"

Catchy.

Something someone - who doesn't care about the vaccine protest part - said to me today: The truckers are tormenting Trudeau, so they're my friends.

 

[mr-x]

Man... I wish all protest were like these.

 

[Cannuck]

People have a right to protest, but does that freedom extend to barking big rigs?

This kinda makes sense...

Audit them. Pricks. Block hwy in Alberta again. Revenue Canada should send each one in convoy a letter saying revenue canada wants to see your paperwork.
I am going to buy a carton of native smokes. Oka brand, have all the homeless block bridge next saturday. Turn the convoy into a campout
None of this looks good for the truckers working.
I stopped yesterday to let one make a left turn. Guy behind me blowing his horn. FU no trucker, no food.
Farmers, blah. I can live off meat

Dropping the mandates would be an easier solution...

Dropping the mandates would be an easier solution...

CEO of Canada's largest trucking company says...​

“We have a few drivers that still say no, but what we do with them is we just keep them in Canada" — a strategy adopted by several large transport outfits but less available to smaller ones.

The vast majority of TFI's Canadian drivers are inoculated against COVID-19, Bédard said, adding that an eventual end to the exemption for cross-border truckers had been predictable. It was announced by the federal government on Nov. 19 and took effect Jan. 15.

He said last month looked like "the best January ever for the company," coming after a fourth quarter that saw profits jump by more than two-thirds and revenue leap by 91 per cent.

"The biggest issue for us really in January is sick people in the U.S. with COVID..."

Going to work be easier. Its almost over, alberta is dropping vaccine passport
Their not helping the economy, its just an anti government cause.
Diesel 167.9 a litre, will that be the next big thing?
For 2 years they keep having anti vaccine rally downtown, every saturday
Ya were all in it together

A lot of the truckers would like to go back to work but they lost their jobs do to the mandates. The Canada government created the problem in the first place by implementing the mandates. If the mandates never happened everything would be running normally.

Saskatchewan is dropping the vaxx passport on February 13th. Jason Kenney apparently is having a conference later today to discuss the mandates. Didn't Jason say he was going to lift all mandates back in July 2021?

Big shout out to the truckers speaking out for us!

Automaker Ford of Canada is running its plants in Oakville, Ont., and Windsor at reduced capacity today, saying the disruption at the bridge could have widespread impact on automakers on both sides of the border.

Meanwhile, Stellantis says U.S. and Canadian plants cut short second shifts Wednesday night due to parts shortages caused by the closure of the bridge.

Working stiff pay cheques be a little short next time.

Well said.

You can thank the Trudeau government for the shortages... Drop the mandates and everything will go back to normal. Members of Trudeau's own caucus are starting to turn on him...

Like politics, there is two sides. One is not going to change the others. Chow

I strongly believe this is Trudeau's favorite quote...

My mind is made up - don't confuse me with facts

 

[HG572]

This is all just political now. All governments fault.
See in Canada we dont vote governments in, we vote them out

It's also mainstream media's fault:

'This could cost him his job': A blockaded Canada turning on Trudeau, poll finds​

As Freedom Convoy marks its second week entrenched in the Canadian capital, a new poll is providing some of the clearest evidence yet that this affair could end up dealing a catastrophic blow to the leadership of Prime Minister Justin Trudeau.

Although Canadians sympathize with the anti-mandate demands of Freedom Convoy, they increasingly hate the protests themselves. A new Maru Public Opinion poll found that 56 per cent of Canadians don’t have an iota of sympathy for Freedom Convoy — and two thirds wouldn’t mind seeing their blockades cleared by military force.

But Canadians are also turning their ire on a “weak” government response and an intransigent prime minister whom they blame for “inflaming” the situation. The Maru poll, which was conducted from Feb. 9 to 10, found that only 16 per cent of Canadians would vote for Trudeau based on his actions of the last two weeks.

“The last time I’ve seen numbers even close to this were in the final days of Brian Mulroney,” said John Wright, executive vice-president of Maru Public Opinion and a 32-year industry veteran. “I think this could cost him his job.”

Mismanagement and hypocrisy (with a mix of arrogance), he knew what was coming and certainly could have handled it better. The Ambassador Bridge standoff was a police fiasco, leadership and communication lacking.
Even though there are questionable alterior motives for the protest, actions often speak louder than words...

 

[Cannuck]

Maybe take out the word abbreviate
And there could be no abbreviations
Then actions would not speak louder than words

I suppose that's true
if all the words I uttered
were wrote in Haiku.

It's an interchangleble abundance
Simple as that

Actually, I'm not paying too much attention to what's going on with the protest, other than this thread and the odd thing I run across on the net.

What Trudeau should've done..... apparently not what he's done, anyway. How it'll turn out for him and the rest of Canada in the end....
