Cutie!
One way?
That’s so sweet. Hope the truckers heard that.
FL lawyer Jeff Childers, who spoke in DC last Sunday at the DC Mandate Rally, has a daily email called “Coffee and Covid.”
Today he talks only about the Canadian truckers:

Today I round up all the news related to one developing historic event: The Canadian Trucker Freedom Convoy.

🇨🇦🚛🚛🚛🚛🚛🇨🇦 *TRUCK-A-PALOOZA* 🇨🇦🚛🚛🚛🚛🚛🇨🇦
Go Canada!
After nearly two years of just laying there like a passed-out drunk in front of a Covid testing clinic, Canada is finally showing signs of life. I first heard about the trucker convoy story about midweek, when someone sent me a link to the GoFundMe page. After doing a little research, I checked the fundraiser page to see if it might be something to multiply or maybe just give to personally. That’s when I noticed they were raising FIVE MILLION DOLLARS for fuel and were almost already there. Then GoFundMe put a hold on the fundraiser, and two days later, released the money.
And I thought, well isn’t that interesting.
Earlier in the pandemic I’d reported on an Australian trucker protest that fizzled out. The Truckies. They had a lot of good talk but ultimately whatever actually happened was small enough for the media to bury, if anything did happen at all. I’d reported it too early; I should’ve waited for it to pan out. So I waited a few days to see what would develop.
Unlike the summer’s Ozzie truck protest, the Great 2022 Canadian Trucker Freedom Convoy HAS panned out. Meaning, it is a remarkable, if not historic, development. The garbage Corporate Media has largely avoided the story, but almost EVERYONE ELSE is paying attention. Can you imagine the Corporate Media coverage if this were a protest for trans rights or something? Anyway.
Reliable estimates suggest there are up to 50,000 trucks stretching over 93 kilometers, or 45 miles, driving across Canada in a giant chain, streaming into the capital of Ontario today. For comparison, the “giant” convoy in the eponymous 1978 movie was only a mile long. The Canadian Convoy could be the largest trucker convoy in history. Sadly, even though he really really wanted to meet the truckers, Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau was conveniently “exposed” to an asymptomatic case of Covid, so he swiftly declared he has to hide out, I mean shelter, at home. He tested negative.
When questioned, the PM was dismissive about the convoy. One reporter asked Trudeau if the convoy suggested that Canada’s injection mandate might disrupt the country’s supply chain (duh). The feckless Prime Minister doubled down, claiming INJECTIONS are the best way to fix the supply chain, not trucks: “I regret that the Conservative Party and conservative politicians are fear-mongering to Canadians about the supply chain, but the reality is that vaccination is how we’re going to get through this,” he said.
Maybe hypodermic needles can drive trucks now? It IS the 21st century, after all.
The Canadian Trucking Alliance and the American Trucking Associations estimated up to 26,000 of the 160,000 drivers who usually cross the Canada-U.S. border are likely to be sidelined by the vaccine mandates imposed this month on both sides of the border.
The Canadian truckers’ motto is, “We are taking our fight to the doorsteps of our federal government and demanding that they cease all mandates against its people.” They said they aren’t leaving the capital until all mandates have been lifted. Quite a promise.
U.S. influencers expressing support for the Canadian Convoy include Elon Musk, Joe Rogan, Mark Steyn, Tucker Carlson, Franklin Graham, Sean Hannity, Kirstie Alley, Glenn Beck, and Robert F. Kennedy. Thousands have donated to the fund-raiser for fuel. Thousands more have gathered along Canadian highways and overpasses in support in up to minus-30-degree weather, causing the local Nova Scotia government to ban gatherings along highways, for safety. The government of Quebec shut off traffic cameras in the province to stop people from watching the convoy online.
Can’t have people watching citizens protesting the government. It’s not good for business.
The Corporate Media has been hostile and resentful whenever it has reported on the story. A political cartoon in The Washington Post showed a convoy of cartoon trucks, each identical, each with the word “Fascist” printed on the side. Brilliant, how creative. Earlier this week, the Toronto Sun reported the story in an article headlined, “Angry and Misguided, They Roll On.” The Canadian Globe and Mail headlined its story, “Trucker Convoy Has Evolved Into Something Far More Dangerous.” FAR more dangerous.
The Globe and Mail also criticized the Convoy for its lack of diversity, complaining there were an insufficient number of SOUTH ASIANS represented in the protest. I am not making that up. Why are truckers so prejudiced against South Asians and won’t let them join the protest??
AlJazeera’s story included a subhead warning darkly that, “Experts raise concerns about far-right, racist views arising from protest against vaccine mandate for truck drivers.” Experts! What would we do without them?
Parliament Today won the award for the worst hot take on the Convoy. Here’s what it printed on January 26:
National security expert Jessica Davis warns that those who have donated to groups in support of ongoing truck rallies could be found guilty under the Criminal Code, as the ‘directly or indirectly’ could provide financial services intended to carry out any terrorist ‘activity’ or benefit such a ‘group.’
In recent days, various outlets have noted far-right sentiments among supporters bragging about the protests online, with some users calling for ‘our own January 6 event’ in reference to the riots at the Capitol in Washington last year.
The Globe National ran a story headlined, “Far-Right Groups Hope Trucker Protest will be Canada’s January 6th.” There’s a picture alongside the article showing a truck sign that reads, “Masks don’t save — Only Jesus Saves! Freedom over Fear!” I struggle to see how that picture matches the headline, but it’s pretty neat how they wrapped Christianity, masks, and vaccines around their new January 6 meme.
And, I suspect the truth is that it’s FAR-LEFT groups — not far-right groups — who hope the Convoy will be Canada’s January 6.
Reports say that, for some reason, Freedom Convoy organizers sent a memo to participating drivers telling them not to enter any federal building for any reason. Weird, huh? I wonder why they would say that?
Not all big media was negative. The UK Daily Mail’s story was headlined, “HUNDREDS of Canadians cheer on ‘Freedom Convoy’ of 50,000 truckers driving toward the capital to protest vaccine mandate: Lawmakers are told to ‘lock your doors’ and avoid the protest.” Reports say AOC is sheltering in her panic room.
Finally, the PEOPLE don’t seem to be aligned with the Corporate Media’s narrative about the Convoy, not at all. A Canadian TV online poll asking “Do you support the truckers convoy coming to Ottawa?” was overwhelmingly “Yes” (76%). An iHeartRadio poll similarly found 71% in support. Twitter videos of the convoy passing through Medicine Hat, Alberta, show snowbound supporters cheering passing trucks and clearly chanting “Let’s Go Brandon!”
Reports suggest other convoys are forming up, all around the world, to join the Canadian truckers. A brand-new Australian truckie protest has arisen in response to the Canadian Freedom Convoy, and is said to be headed toward Canberra in solidarity. Brazil media is reporting a trucker convoy forming in South America protesting mandates. And there are rumblings of European convoys forming around that continent. We’ll see.
The Freedom Convoy is not the largest post-pandemic protest. It’s not the most well-advertised protest. It’s not the most well-organized protest. But for some reason, the Canadian Convoy has captured worldwide imagination in a way that other protests have not. Maybe it’s the timing. Maybe it’s the excitement of quiet Canada taking a stand. Maybe it’s the confluence of issues related to truck drivers, mandates, and supply chains.
But for whatever reason, the Freedom Convoy has electrified the free world. It’s now the Canadian government’s move. Trudeau has to do SOMETHING, unless the truck drivers just drive away from Ottawa, which seems unlikely. Will he meet with them? Will he use force to clear the streets? We they arrest truckers for domestic terrorism? Will Trudeau modify the mandates? It really is impossible to say.
I’ll keep an eye on the exciting story and continue reporting developments. We’re praying for the truckers and for a sane resolution to their concerns. Support a trucker today!

I used to think that Trump was great but after seeing how the whole system was set up against him from every media outlet to the FBI, DOJ, and CIA, I believe he is the greatest of all time.

Just heard from my husband who’s moving rigs night and day right now and he says his truckers are absolutely glued to our coverage of the convoy when they get back to camp.
They’re cheering on their brothers from afar. We all are.

Both Joni Mitchell & Neil Young think they’re truly doing something by taking their music off of Spotify.
Joe Rogan doesn’t spread misinformation, he has open discussions.
When your entire political ideology is based on suppressing discourse, you’re on the wrong side.
George Soros Pledges ‘Unprecedented’ $125 Million To Help Democrats Win In November
It appears Soros’s top issue is voting rights, which also happens to be near the top of President Biden’s agenda as he and his Congressional allies struggle to pass a new voting rights bill.
The group, Democracy PAC, has served as Soros’ campaign spending vehicle since 2019, channeling more than $80 million to other Democratic groups and candidates during the 2020 election cycle.
The new, nine-figure investment from Soros is aimed at supporting pro-democracy “causes and candidates, regardless of political party” who are invested in “strengthening the infrastructure of American democracy: voting rights and civic participation, civil rights and liberties, and the rule of law,” Soros said in a statement shared first with POLITICO.
Soros added that the donation to the super PAC is a “long-term investment,” intended to support political work beyond this year.
Democracy PAC, the PAC tasked with doling out Soros’s millions, will be led by his son, Alexander Soros.
The donation places Soros among only a handful of donors who have managed to hit the 9-figure level. Already, his PAC has cut two large checks: one for $2.5 million to Senate Majority PAC, and the other for $1 million to House Majority PAC.
Of course, news of Soros’ involvement always has the chance of becoming a political liability for Democrats. Take for instance the fact that the newly elected Manhattan DA, Alvin Bragg, has essentially ordered his prosecutors to stop seeking prison sentences for most low level felonies, including armed robberies and drug dealing.
From here on out, “carceral” sentences will be reserved for “homicides and a handful of other cases.” Soros gave Bragg’s campaign $1 million. And he also supported the previous occupant, DA Cyrus Vance Jr., who was accused of going easy on Harvey Weinstein years before the NYT got involved. In Baltimore, a DA he backed ended up indicted on perjury charges.
It’s not just the east coast: LA has seen a sharp 36% increase in crime since Soros-backed LA County DA George Gascón.
And let’s not forget about San Francisco’s Chesa Boudin, who has become downright infamous as nary a week goes by without some new viral video portraying some egregious example of legalized shoplifting in the City by the Bay.
And Soros’s political interests aren’t ending at the federal level. He has also donated $1 million to the Democratic Association of Secretaries of State, a group dedicated to electing Democrats to be the chief official in charge of elections in a state. As Politico adds, once “little-known”, posts like these are drawing increasingly more attention from donors. We’ll let you, dear reader, take a guess as to why.

Or her appealing personality or her brilliant mind.
If Marshalls takes action to stop the crime occurring in their stores, the thieves will go elsewhere and more regular shoppers will go to their stores. It could start a whole new wave of lawfulness. I wish them well.
When we stop wearing masks that don’t stop Covid but do protect people committing crimes, it will be a lot harder to shoplift with so many cameras everywhere.
