MyPillow CEO Mike Lindell's shipment of 12,000 pillows meant for the protesting Canadian truckers delayed
Business Insider ^ | February 16, 2022

MyPillow CEO Mike Lindell's pillow delivery for the protesting "Freedom Convoy" truckers in Canada has hit a snag.

Lindell announced on Sunday that he would be sending a care package to all the "brave truckers" blocking major connections across the US-Canada border and clogging up roads in Ottawa to protest Canada's vaccine mandates.

He told Insider then that MyPillow trucks would be sending some 12,000 pillows from his factory in Minnesota, with the delivery scheduled to cross the border by Tuesday evening.

Lindell said he would have sent the pillows from his manufacturing facility outside Montreal but could not do so because of production capacity limits. However, he added that he was not too worried about the pillows making their way to their destination because he had "shipped hundreds of thousands of MyPillows to Canada."

Lindell's delivery trucks had still not made it to their destination as of Wednesday night. Lindell told Insider that he was waiting to hear back from the Canadian authorities on whether his truck drivers would be allowed to cross over to Canada.

"If our last permit gets approved, we will be crossing over to the border tomorrow (Thursday) and roll into Ottawa," Lindell said.

The stalling of the MyPillow delivery at the Canadian border was documented by the conservative Right Side Broadcasting Network (RSBN). On Tuesday, a video published by RSBN showed a massive MyPillow truck that appeared to be stalled at a border crossing from Michigan to Canada.

Lindell's delivery trucks had still not made it to their destination as of Wednesday night. Lindell told Insider that he was waiting to hear back from the Canadian authorities on whether his truck drivers would be allowed to cross over to Canada.

I think the Lieden admin is going to confiscate them and send them to Ukraine.

Didn't some Canadian government official just threaten Americans who help the truckers yesterday?

Why on earth would you be blowing the trumpets over this (exact delivery time, purpose) so you make a nice fat juicy target for Canadian authorities to interfere with?

“Why on earth would you be blowing the trumpets over this...”

...my guess is he wants the publicity. It was a great gesture but he’s a Capitalist.

To make them do the ugly things they have to do, thereby opening more eyes to the tyranny of democratic socialism.

Why announce it? Just do it if you’re going to do it.

Smuggling pillows may become a tidy business, except Lindell has a Canadian plant.

Still.

I’m tired of Lindell and his overpriced pillows with his 66% off.
He knew what the problem is at the border and now wants sympathy from us?
Did he send vaxxinated drivers or not?

Is this Babylon Bee?

I mean, who could not have foreseen this anyway?

“Trucking” is down anyway due to artificial constraints AND they’re striking/blocking!

LOL

I’m tired of his bloviating about things he really doesn’t know. In public so it’s an embarrassment.

But, I still like him OK for his views, and his pillows are nice.

So my brother - paranoid-of-COVID liberal in town from CA - texted me about seeing our mom has more MPs and that it’s a “questionable product” and sleazy salesman. Which I just batted it away by stating, no, they’re legitimate products and pretty nice actually. Which wasn’t the point of the convo anyway.

“my guess is he wants the publicity.”

What about caring whether the pillows ever make it to the truckers?

Trudeau prefers pillow talk. Thats why he was cuckholded by his errant wife.

And for some reason Trudeau’s domestic problems have now resulted in his hatred of truckers. Do you suppose Trudeau’s wife Sopie has taken up with a few truckers in their Kenmore Bunks?

Looks like from the live feed that the truckers will need those pillows for jail as the cops are massing nearby this morning. A take down is expected today. Castreau is tripling down.

God bless Mike Lindell.

But maybe he should do it covertly so as not to tip off the police?

I’m sure he “cares” as well that they get the pillows.
