Social media posts claim that a convoy heading to Canada's capital to protest Covid-19 vaccine mandates for truckers set a Guinness World Record for being the longest. This is false; the global authority on record-breaking said the honor is held by a parade that took place in Egypt in 2020, and specific conditions have to be met for an official record attempt to be registered by Guinness.
**SNIP**
But claiming that it "made the Guinness Book of World Records" for being the longest convoy is false. A spokeswoman for Guinness World Records told AFP in an email that the "the current record for the Largest parade of trucks is 480 and was achieved by Tahya Misr Fund in 2020."

The 7.5 kilometer-long parade took place in Cairo, Egypt, on November 20, 2020. The spokeswoman added that the truckers' convoy in Canada "is not an official Guinness World Records title attempt." In order for an event to be considered as record-breaking, an official application must be submitted to the organization beforehand, and a specific protocol must be followed, according to Guinness.

Taken down on a technicality - how very “fact-checker” of you!
Who cares? It was a great convoy regardless.
set a Guinness World Record
I am pretty sure thats not why they were there...
WHO CARES whether it' a world's record or not. I only care that it scares the he$$ out of a communist nutcase who was chased into hiding.
Is it long enough to shut down the country?
Is it long enough to get the world and the woke citizens to join in attacking Kanada's gubermint insanity?
It's looking like it is long enough to establish it's goals. And more importantly it's looking like copycats in Europe and the US are going to attack their insane gubermint's too.
Brandon might start crying when his handlers tell him what it all means.
Forget the length. What counts is achieving the objective. I have heard the truckers are going to stay until they shut down Trudeau and force his resignation. Some don’t realize what’s in those trailers - enough personal provisions to support each trucker for a very long time.
Trudope ran and hid.
It’s big enough.

That is the purpose of this article; to deflect and bury the point of the rally.
So the left is bragging that they only got the second largest @ss kicking by truckers in history?
” In order for an event to be considered as record-breaking, an official application must be submitted to the organization beforehand, and a specific protocol must be followed,”
...and you have to pay Guinness a hefty application fee.
Well it did make Trudeau run away and hide ,LOL
The Russians should get the Guinness credit since the Canadian media thinks it’s a Russians op.
It's a good thing the Aztecs filled out an application BEFORE they built the world's largest pyramid:
