As thousands of protesters entered Ottawa, Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau and his family were moved from their home to an undisclosed location somewhere in the city on Saturday afternoon due to security concerns, CBC reports.
A "Freedom Convoy" of some 2,700 trucks entered the Canadian capital city of Ottawa Saturday to protest Trudeau's COVID-19 policies, Reuters reported.
According to the Independent, around 100 big rigs blockaded a main street running past the Canadian parliament building.
The convoy, which approached the capital from all sides, began as a protest against a vaccine mandate for Canadian truckers crossing the U.S.-Canada border but grew into a wider expression of discontent with the government's COVID-19 policies.
"These demonstrations are national in scope, they're massive in scale," Ottawa police chief Peter Sloly said Friday, expressing concern about the possibility of violent "lone wolf" individuals carrying out violent acts.
The protest has drawn criticism from many sides. The Canadian Trucking Alliance condemned the convoy. Nova Scotia banned people from congregating along the highways to support the protesting truckers. A Washington Post cartoonist drew a convoy of tractor-trailers with "Fascism" written on the side of each one. Trudeau said Friday that the convoy members and their supporters hold "unacceptable views," The Guardian reported.

That has got to be one of the dumbest political cartoons I have ever seen. The “artist” is an idiot. He knows as much about fascism as he does about trucks. How are those things supposed to turn? It’s like he drew a rigid frame box truck and then added tractor-trailer wheels and exhaust stacks.
Regarding fascism, some excerpts from Wikipedia:
Fascists sometimes regarded their movement as a type of nationalist “socialism”... describing it as national solidarity and unity. (Everyone must get vaccinated for the good of the community, right?) Fascist economics supported a state-controlled economy... In particular, fascists criticized capitalism (Does that sound like truckers or Trudeau’s Liberal Party?)
And finally, this cartoon is not subtle or humorous. This is one step above just writing “I think truckers are racist” in block letters, but just barely. I made more thought-provoking artwork in grade school.
If he “flees”, does that mean he was in fear of his life, and that therefore the truckers are insurrectionists, and should therefore be rounded up, and imprisoned and tortured? Asking for a friend. Actually, an enemy.
Isn’t that what Saddam did?
WAPO and The Guardian...
I’m sure they deemed the BLM riots as mostly peaceful.
“Quite sure the idiot Washington Post “cartoonist” has no idea what words mean.”
Trump supporters: fascists
Don’t support BLM: fascists
Don’t embrace the vaccine: fascists
Oppose critical race theory: fascists
“Let’s go Brandon”: fascists
Im sure our very own pukes in this country who were successful with antifa and BLM will be helping the little Canadian Nazis pukes in control against the white supremacists racist uprising
Quel un poltroon!
Same thing the Kenyan did on 9/12. A million and a half of us peacefully gathered to petition for redress of our grievances. He got in a helicopter and flew over us without ever acknowledging our presence. It wouldn’t have surprised me if the SOB had leaned out and given us all the finger.
The point I am making is that as heartening as this Convoy is, it is not going to change a thing. Some kind of nationwide trucker strike that causes all the grocery stores to be empty might have an effect. But they don’t care how many people protest as long as that’s all they’re going to do. They do not fear you. As far as the optics are concerned, remember they have the entire media essentially working for them.
When die hard Democrats go to the store and can’t get food for a week then they will take notice. But not before.
But you say people will suffer if that happens. Yes they will but not as much as they’re going to suffer if it doesn’t happen.
Beauty.
Trudeau may have to redefine what a “small fringe minority” is, because it’s stretching from Manitoba to Ontario...
Most truckers are armed. Antifa is going to need more body bags for their Swiss cheese brothers!
28. Trudeau’s national anthem, “Coward of the Country”!!!
6. Re Trudeau hiding in a “bunker”. A lot of good that did Hitler. May Trudeau meet the same fate in some cesspool hole in the ground.
Re “and he has Neil Young on autopsy”.
I’d like it to read “and he has Neil Young on the Autopsy Channel”.
After seeing Young on tv the other night, I’m sure he qualified to star on the Autopsy Channel. He sure looks and sounds like it!
Worms gotta eat, even if it tastes like crap!
Spellchek screwup, again.
First sentence should read “and he has Neil Young on AUTOPLAY”.
“’Cause we got a big ole convoy/ Rockin’ through the night/ Yeah, we got a big ole convoy/ Ain’t she a beautiful sight/ Come on and join our convoy/ Ain’t nothin’ gonna get in our way/ We’re gonna roll this truckin’ convoy/ Right in Trudeau’s face/ CONVOY!”
Way to go, Judy. We’re mighty proud of our Canadian brothers and sisters. Wherever Trudeau is hiding, I hope he can still hear the horns blowing and the protests.
He’s probably finished after this. It feels like another Berlin Wall came tumbling down.
Wonder when the fake media will have to mention this. Ha ha!
