..."I've always been reminded by my supervisors, 'Please question unsafe orders. Ask us questions if you think the orders are unlawful.' And that's what I think our job is. Thank you truckers for standing up for all of us," Golysheva said in the video.

I would not go to jail over this. If truckers are forced to leave Ottawa and the bridge they should just park their trucks at home and stop working. Period. Libs are saying that the truckers are causing issues regarding commerce in the city. I say park your truck and stop working. Same effect as being on the border in a group. No product delivered anywhere. Libs are bullies and tyrants.
So Trudeau calls you names and threatens you with all sort of harm to you and your family if you do not comply. If it was me I would go home, park my truck and just quit. No more food deliveries. No more parts deliveries. No more ANY product that is delivered by truck. Trudeau thinks he can threaten you and then DEMANDS you go back to work serving the Canadian people? Can you imagine all the stores and companies that will shut down if they cannot get product? If all trucking stops? Canada will quickly become crippled. What will Trudeau say then? What if all truckers all of a sudden feel “sick” and cannot work. Truckers are not getting paid now anyway. And if they are not in the bridge and city they can get the money from the funding that has been sent for them.
So libs and Trudeau call truckers white supremacists’, racists, nazis and threaten to take away your license and throw you in jail. They destroy your property and take away YOUR stuff, like gas, wood, food and the like. When you decide to not work anymore what will he demand then? He threatens you and then wants you to go back to work on his terms? THAT is slavery. Sounds tyrannical to me.
Singermom, you’ve posted thus same diatribe in many threads, word for word.
Give it a rest.
Stop spam.
You are spot on! The Ottawa truckers should be calling for a three day nationwide trucker strike. It’s quite doable and will crush the idiot liberals.
Your comment about slavery is also correct - the liberals see us as idiot servants over whom they rule.
The Authorities can bring charges, seize property and fine you for actions. They cannot do much about a work stoppage.
That’s my suggestion for the US. Two week industry wide vacation .
Guess she doesn’t need the job.
” I say park your truck and stop working. Same effect as being on the border in a group. No product delivered anywhere.”
Sorry but I respectfully, and strongly, disagree.
By closing the border and Ottawa the truckers have taken the high ground both strategically and tactically. They have made themselves impossible to ignore and are constant reminders of what they are fighting for. The government and press can’t change the narrative if the truckers are front and center.
This is a game of brinksmanship. Whoever blinks first loses.
Typical snotty low-T riposte. No one knows better than a leftist "journalist".
Not even someone who may have grown up in a totalitarian nation and seen similar governmental abuses first hand.
With "journalists" like Mr Amoto acting as gatekeepers we really are in deep hoowie.
“The Ottawa truckers should be calling for a three day nationwide trucker strike.”
One problem. What happens after three days, when the government hasn’t moved and your campaign has dissipated?
You will lose your momentum if you change tactics now, and you’ll never bring the crowd back together.
And, if the truckers go home now, there will be a mountie at the door with paperwork within days. Hang together.
Trudeau is not going to back down - it's a pissing contest now and he intends to win.
He has to be fired, and his replacement has to say, "Now that adults are in charge, we agree with the Freedom Convoy.
Mandates are hereby lifted".
Hope this guy doesn’t get fired. Video rant is about 7 minutes.

You both make fair points. Not sure how easy it will be to ignore when thr shelves are completely bare. If they/we all stick together the battle cannot be lost. They are trying to divide because they probably recognize that fact.
Singermom you have posted this same thing repeatedly. I feel it is fair to call you out. You are pushing an agenda and trying to dispirit those who would resist peacefully.
Peacefully does not always mean legally. Civil disobedience without violence is peaceful.
Protesting against an oppressive tyranny will always result in some form of illegality, if one does not exist they will just create one.
who is paying you to post this garbage?
If the truckers keep the border and Ottawa locked down and the shelves go empty they can then rightly point at the government and say “They did this, not us.” The people will stick with them and Tru-doh will carry the blame.
If they go home they lose the PR fight and the media turns them into rabid right wing white supremacists. The media can’t do that now precisely because the truckers ARE front and center and impossible to ignore.
Canadians are fed up with two years of lockdowns and mandates. This is the average citizens opportunity to stand up against those who oppress them. If the truckers go home it all fizzles out and the tyrants win.
Possibly forever.
Yep, definitely smells of seminar posting.
Because ye will surely hang separately.
No, the truckers should do exactly what they are doing.
And I hope this is the first of many cops that start refusing to follow orders of tyrants.
