Trudeau, the media, and minor politicians attack Canada’s truckers

Lies, insults, misleading news stories, and attempts to remove the truckers are all on the menu but the truckers are standing firm, and the people stand with them.

Canada’s truckers are pushing back against tyrannical COVID restrictions that have made life a misery in that once free nation. The government will not yield, and the establishment—politicians and their propaganda (i.e., “news”) outlets—using both defamatory statements and efforts at physical force to remove the truckers from Ottawa, but the truckers won’t go and the locals seem to be on their side.

One of the things that’s not being said about Canada’s draconian rules, which have culminated, most recently, with a mandate that anyone entering the country must show proof of vaccination, is that COVID is not a big deal. Despite the Western world’s refusal to allow early treatment for COVID with well-known, safe antivirals, the COVID mortality rate for people under 65 is less than 1%. It would almost certainly be significantly lower if treatments were allowed.

Instead, the world’s leaders are doubling down on forcing vaccines onto people and, in Canada, continuing lockdowns and mask mandates. At this point, these policies have nothing to do with saving lives and everything to do with erasing the last vestiges of liberty in once-free countries. You will obey.

But then there are the Canadian truckers, rugged individualists who resent the fact that they are being denied a livelihood shipping goods between Canada and the United States unless they show an electronic vaccine passport. The truckers have captured the imagination of those in the world who still value freedom with their 45-mile-long convoy through the country and the huge and rapturous crowds that have met them in Ottawa, Canada’s capital.

They sure are putting a lot of effort into the fear campaign against a “fringe minority”.

How long before there are empty shelves in supermarkets? I bet not long. Trudeau is gonna cave.

The Freedom Convoy is a John Galt strike. Good on them.

That’s how you know they are coming from a weak position. Trudeau is really losing on this.

I listened to a long Canadian radio show yesterday morning. The word “insurrection” was not used, but it was keenly alluded to. The host and guest talked about the fringe nature of the protesters, all simply the ignorant anti-vax minority, many Fascists and rabblerousers sporting swastikas and Confederate flags, clearly regarded with scorn by the general population.

As I posted up-page, this isn’t just about ‘trucking across the border’... this is about the surveillance state. As Benjamin Dichter said in his interview with Tucker, “if they know all that about me showing up at the border just from my phone, what’s to stop them from tracking me all the time after I leave the border?” This is where the issue is no longer just one of a bunch of malcontent unvaxxed truckers... this is where the bigger picture affects everyone on both sides of the border.
