Chad Williamson, a lawyer representing the protesters, said they were opening one lane of Highway 4 in esch direction. Demonstrators followed through in the early afternoon, vehicle tires grinding on the hard packed snow and ice as they departed.

Truckers matter.
Dear Truckers:

The truckers are awesome and getting worldwide love and cookies from children.
Otherwise the blockade starts again."
As it should be. At this point, proof of good faith falls on the government (you know, the people who are supposed to serve those who grant them powers to govern).
Agreed.
This is as it should be. The truckers need to stay strong. We can win this thing.
The left only responds to force. Don’t back down. Don’t apologize. Make the left back down. Make them apologize. History is on our side.
100%
Who would have thought that truckers would become
the existential threat to covid mandates?
Keep on truckin’.
Expect the government to have lied and not follow through with any deal. Governments lie, folks.
These little Nazi puke politicians need to be beat down to dust
It doesn’t matter Jolene as the rcmp already have the License Plate of Your vehicle and both You and Your Daughter are in the Face Recognition Database already matched up.
Next Y’All will be labeled as TERRORISTS and/or INSURRECTIONISTS.
If we really cared we would block the port from the U.S. side too.
break through my azz... it was a LET THROUGH!!!
The Truckers should do a “Wagon circle” around the rcmpees. Then cross the Boarder.
