Elon Musk Mocks Trudeau After Massive Trucker Rally: ‘Fringe Minority’ ‘Is Actually The Government’
DailyWire ^ | January 30, 2022 | Tim Pearce

Entrepreneur Elon Musk mocked Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau on Sunday for dismissing the “Freedom Convoy” of truckers against vaccine mandates as a “fringe minority.”

The convoy rolled into Ottawa for a protest attended by tens of thousands of people on Saturday. Demonstrators mocked Trudeau, called for him to step down, and demanded and end to Canadian COVID-19 vaccine mandates. Videos online of the protest showed thousands of people marching through Ottawa in support of the truckers.

“It would appear that the so-called ‘fringe minority’ is actually the government,” Musk tweeted on Sunday, reacting to video of the protest. “Protesting in a Canadian winter shows real commitment!”

On Friday, Trudeau dismissed the trucker convoy, which reportedly grew to roughly 45 miles long on its way to the Canadian capital, as a “small, fringe minority” of anti-science protesters.

“We know the way through this pandemic is by getting everyone vaccinated and the overwhelming majority, close to 90% of Canadians, have done exactly that,” Trudeau said. “The small, fringe minority of people who are on their way to Ottawa who are holding unacceptable views that they’re expressing do not represent the views of Canadians who have been there for each other, who know that following the science, stepping up to protect each other is the best way to continue to ensure our freedoms, our rights, our values as a country.”

If only we all believed this truth, we could throw off this tyranical government of ours as well.

The media can also be included in the “minority.”

Ontario keeps voting for a leftist govt and Quebec supports it as long as the Federal transfers keep going and the party in control of Quebec can do what it wants.

Very much like California and a handful of Dem states controlling the US.

…who are holding unacceptable views

Holding views contrary to the government is not allowed. We will tell you what to think.

Not exactly ... this isn't like the US, where ther's really only 2 partiies

the voting in Canada was split among 5 parties, and Justin's Liberals only got 33%

but since that was the largest share, he's PM in a minority Government

so, 67% of the country DIDN'T vote for him or want him in charge (probably even higher now)

Only one problem...Musk was born in South Africa and is not eligible to run.

Yeah, I figured that was a non-starter. But I saw a woman wearing that sweatshirt last year in the Sam’s Club...and thought it was cool!
