Something big is happening in Canada and it’s happening in a typically Canadian way. After two years of draconian lockdowns and mandates, truckers are pushing back with a 70 km long convoy that pulled into Ottawa yesterday. It’s exciting and inspiring. It’s also drawing the elites out from cover, as they abandon any pretense of supporting the people they applauded so vigorously almost two years ago when they hid in their offices while “the little people” kept the world working.
The Canadians have been renowned for being an obedient, peaceable people. But perhaps we’ve forgotten that there’s a warrior strain in them. During both WWI and WWII, some of the British Empire’s most ferocious fighters came from Canada. That blend of warrior and peaceful soul seems to have come together with the massive Freedom Convoy that Canadian (and some American) truckers have driven from Vancouver to Ottawa, Canada’s capital.
I wrote about the convoy on Friday, along with lots of videos. It’s incredibly inspiring to see these cheerful truckers driving along Canada’s frozen lands, cheered on by hundreds and thousands of people wherever they go. Tucker interviewed another trucker on Friday night and it’s moving to see his good spirits and optimism as he and his fellow truckers push back against the effort to make them bow down to the technocracy for which COVID has provided a glide path.
These truckers stand for all the people in the West who have done everything their political leaders forced upon them. While the power class (politicians, media, the professoriate, billionaires, etc.) sheltered at home, these people—whether truckers, store clerks, sanitation people, bus drivers, police, or dozens of other jobs that needed to be done—bravely went out despite the fear of an unknown disease. Back then, the leaders were grateful.

70KM. 43 and a half miles.
Get 5 liberals somewhere. Media: “HEY! HEY! EVERYBODY’S DOWN HERE PROTESTING!”
So, when the ordinary people refuse to yield to the enormous pressure from the government and its giant corporate partners, they’re frightened and lash out...and they pervert language and lie.
That pretty much sums up the wuhan frenzy since March 2020...
One of the great videos these truckers have produced: https://youtu.be/zSMEa2Ox2LE
While everyone mentions the 43 miles of truck convoy from British Columbia one might also remember there’s also a long line from the Atlantic to Ottawa and all the trucks starting from northern Canada to Ottawa, there are a hell of a lot more from those directions also, I cannot express my pure respect for my fellow Canadians.
We shall see having visited Canada a far amount.
Canadians do like their social welfare programs.
And TruDolt really thinks that can be news blacked out?
These truckers are an inspiration to people all around the world.
The great Margaret Thatcher told George Bush one time “don’t go wobbly”, I’m praying the truckers don’t go wobbly, if it takes 1 day, 1 week, or longer, I hope the truckers shut the city down and shut the country down if necessary, to get the elites to recognize who actually make the country work
“I cannot express my pure respect for my fellow Canadians.’
I concur. When you annoy Canadians enough to come out in the dead of winter in such large numbers you have really overplayed your hand. I’ll be watching the situation with great interest; to see what happens.
They will not back down! they have crossed the Rubicon.
That is an awesome picture…needs to happen in DC as well…….
The so called elitists and their big government sponsors are starting to find themselves completely on the wrong side of history. Keep up the fight people!
Brandeau?
The Canadians are shaming us by showing much more courage and knowledge of the true value of freedom.
I have joked constantly about Bastille II for us, and sadly, given the complete depravity of the left, that just may be our only possible exit from their rule.
