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.

The videos on YouTube and Rumble are inspiring. I have watched dozens of them.
In 2018 or 2019 I remember many media stories that automated trucks would replace truck drivers on our nation’s highways within ten years. I wondered at the time why this story was being played for weeks since it seemed to me with the deteriorating infrastructure having computers at the wheel of every tractor trailer roaring down the pothole covered interstate highways at 70 mph would result in frequent wrecks, destruction and death. Not to mention maneuvering through often narrow suburban and urban streets in urgent need of repair.
Was the push at the time to implement autonomous vehicles a sign our elites recognized their rule could be threatened by truckers going on strike? The articles at the time lauded the technology saying it would be perfectly safe when logic and common sense says it would not be safe. Not unlike today’s promises of the safe vaccine for all.
Don’t believe everything that you read.
Hey, it rhymes. :-)
Here’s a patriots.win thread with honklers and a link to a livestream....

Watch what happens when the worker bees stop supplying the hive. Truckers, shelf stockers, shipping and receiving clerks and warehouse workers are all the sort of vital workers the elite look down on.
I’ve never really needed a singer, an actor, a tiktok celebrity or even a philosophy professor. I do like bein* able to get groceries, gasoline and fuel oil.
It’s going to be fun to see who the people blame when that happens, I predict you can kiss the current Canadian Gov. goodbye.
If American truckers would surround every state capitol and stay for a season, this country’s madness would soon cease.
Go truckers!
One of the great videos these truckers have produced: https://youtu.be/zSMEa2Ox2LE

Freaking awesome video of the trucker convoy. Thanks for posting!
“,,,Back then the Leaders were Grateful.”
.
Now it’s PAPERS PLEASE!
.
Hammer Down, Truckers!
“Canadians do like their social welfare programs.”
Just like the Europeans who had the luxury of being protected by the U.S. for seventy years. They spent the extra money on social programs and infrastructure.
The elites hate average working people.
They prove it every day and in every way.
Good to see the Bandit out leading the convoy!!!!
GREAT clip.
The dreaded pantywaist variant.
FOTFLOL!!!!!
Apparently it ran out of gas. Good thing that’s not an EV......
