Canada's 'Freedom Convoy' of up to 50,000 truckers begins to arrive in Ottawa ahead of a weekend of protests against the vaccine requirements to cross the US-Canada border

A huge convoy of Canadian truck drivers arrived in Ottawa on Friday night ahead of a planned protest at the weekend against vaccine mandates for drivers.

Since January 15, all Canadian truck drivers who are unvaccinated must take a COVID-19 test and quarantine when driving back from the United States.

They are not allowed into the U.S. unless they are vaccinated, and American drivers are not allowed into Canada unless they show their certificate.

American drivers returning to the U.S., however, do not need to take a test and quarantine.

Justin Trudeau, the Canadian prime minister, has dismissed the protest from the truckers as a disgruntled few, pointing out that almost 90 percent of his country is vaccinated.

Yet the drivers in the so-called 'Freedom Convoy' are angry at his mandate, and plan this weekend on showing the strength of their sentiment in the Canadian capital at the end of a 2,000 mile protest rally.

Blackface Trudeau says they have ‘unacceptable views’.

He and his ilk are the definition of tyrants and should be dispatched appropriately.

Yes. Most of the media has been trying their best to ignore it.

I don't know if he's made one yet or not, but President Trump could do a lot of good with a statement supporting the truckers.

The treasonous tyrants have their orders, and they obey.

We'll find out tonight. I really hope he will.

This is nuts. Freedom isn't Fascism. And I don't think we are that stupid to believe it ... for now.
