The portion of drivers coming from Vancouver alone account for over 50 km of vehicles, including trucks, trailers, and cars.
A grassroots fundraising campaign for Canadian truckers protesting vaccine mandates has now surpassed $3 million with more than 42,000 donors, and an average donation of $75.
Truckers were previously deemed “essential,” however the federal government green-lit the loss of 12,000-16,000 (10-15%) of cross-border commercial drivers by making vaccinations mandatory, as anticipated by the Canadian Trucking Alliance (CTA).

True-dolt, who claims to be 'for the poor', will be hurting those same people! Seniors, and those on fixed incomes, are least able to absorb increases in essentials, like food.
Already 50km (30 miles) long, JUST out of Vancouver, it arrived in Calgary last night and left at 7:00AM, heading eventually, to d'Ottawa. There are convoys coming from various parts of Ontario, Quebec, and the Maritimes.
My hopes and prayers are with these folks. I wish I had the money and time to join them! I hope that they COMPLETELY shut down d'Ottawa and block off Parliament Hill, 24 Sussex Dr., and Harrington Lake. Hopefully, cutting off all food to the Prime Mistake, so he gets a feel for what his stupid, asinine, globalist/socialist laws are doing to the average Canadian! A pox on his house!
Saw the convoy travelling south on Hwy 2 towards Calgary last night.
I saw a claim that go fund me had frozen the funds. It was not a source that I would definitely trust.
Trudeau knows EXACTLY what he’s doing. If anyone thinks for one minute that this criminal elitist has any care whatsoever for the average Canadian, then they’re pathetically ill-informed or naive. Trudeau is one of the globalist elites, as was his father (take your pick, either Castro or Pierre) and he’s doing what he means to do - dismantle Canada and turn it into a communist satellite of China.
I just checked out the website for the convoy (Link in article) & it looks like they are VERY organized & the money is still flowing. They were setting up an accountant & finance committee to make sure the money is properly handled.
Pics?
Just a few hundred trucks on the DC beltway, 395, 295, Wisconsin and Pennsylvania Ave in MD would have the same effect.
Of course, it would FREAK OUT the militarized DC deep-state. Their response would likely be a Tiananmen Square on the Potomac event.
If the Canadians want to make a statement...go to the border and cross..
Let them be turned away by the hundreds... that will grab headlines and clog the border crossings
Good to hear.
“...While this won’t affect the US very much...”
YES, it will.
First off all, reporting from the Western NY, Southern ON area, it’ll affect the trucking industry on this side, especially produce and other food stuff. If it sits here and rots, truckers on this side and warehouse people are gonna be out of work. And if the Canadian Border Patrol joins in (rumored as they, like the Army is not siding with the government on this), they can completely shut down the border crossings, or at least throw a big monkey wrench in to the already collapsing economy on both sides.
Next, about attempting to cross and clogging up things. They could do that, but if they have the expected affect, they won’t have to. Then again, they could just as much chaos looping around the GTO for a few days on the way to the capital. It is clear that Ottawa has no clue what’s happening on the ground with the folks they look down on from Air Canada. The west is all but in full revolt. Now, it’s coming this way.
just my $0.02
jimjohn - OUT
If the Various Trucking Unions and Associations here in the USA ever get off thier asses and BOYCOTT ALL DELIVERIES within 100 Miles of DC, I will contribute $10,000 to thier Campaign!
Looks pretty normal at this border crossing for trucks.
