Canadian Trucker Freedom Convoy Is Likely the World’s Largest Vehicle Convoy in History
The Conservative Treehouse ^ | 26 Jan, 2022 | sundance

Posted on 01/26/2022 3:41:57 PM PST by MtnClimber

The Canadian ‘Freedom Convoy’ of truckers, pushing back against COVID mandates, forced vaccinations and government regulations, began late last week and has gained incredible support from the public. It is very challenging to put the scale of this grassroots effort into an adequate context.

The fundraiser for the effort now exceeds $5.5 million dollars and still climbing. It is now estimated that over 50,000 vehicles are participating in the convoy effort, and the Canadian Dept of Transportation is doing everything possible to stop, block and impede the assemblies.

Every federal truck stop and DOT weigh station has been opened, and every truck is being required to go through the DOT checks. This is not accidental. The movement has now evolved into a conflict of the average Canadian, represented by the truckers, -vs- the oppressive government, represented by the activated federal agencies of Prime Minister Justin Trudeau. It really has become an incredible example of THE PEOPLE -vs- GOVERNMENT.

The truck convoys started from British Columbia in the west, Newfoundland in the east, and Windsor, Ontario in the south. However, cars, SUVs, vans, and small commercial trucks are now included in the massive convoy lines and joined with the big rigs. On every highway along the way crowds are cheering and waving support for the Truckers.

“Canada has gone full communist. I hope they can throw the monkeys out.”

Communists are like cockroaches. If you don’t hunt them down and eradicate them they’ll come back.

"Canada has gone full communist. I hope they can throw the monkeys out."

The Canadian ruling class may have gone full Communist. This is what happens when government has gone full "We don't give a damn what the people think, we are doing it our way." When the citizens feel powerless to make change, they create chaos to make their disapproval heard. That can be a dangerous action because it prompts the deceptive and power hungry to gain even more dictatorial power. Pray that Canada gets a clear vision.

There’s a lot of people up in Canada who are socialists. They refuse to tip wait staff when they visit the US. And for some reason they are very anti-gun.

Be careful what you wish for.

Trudeau actually said “these people have unacceptable views”. Who died and made him the View-Master?

That sign (in English) reminds me of the scene in the movie “Canadian Bacon” where John Candy gets pulled over because his truck has all sorts of derogatory stuff that he wrote on it in protest. These truckers in the convoy better be careful!

It's like a replay of the nightmare that was the late 1970's. Feeble economic conditions, inflation, shortages, awful president, Cold War and a sassy Iran. All that's missing is the double-nickel speed limit.

Judging by the government’s reaction, this is being very effective.

What would they do if the truckers all just ignored the weigh stations?

How could the government deal with that much rebellion?
