90% of Canadian truckers are vaccinated according to their industry association. The United States won't let unvaccinated truckers in. Not one participating trucker can explain to me how protesting Trudeau will change Biden's mind.
No one has a right to a job. No one is forcibly vaccinated. Truckers can operate domestically.
This is a political stunt: It's the same organizers of UNITED WE ROLL about pipelines, sought to split apart Canada through WEXIT, now pretend their politics is about vaccines.

On live videos they proudly call themselves bigots and advocate for a Jan 6 insurrection attack like in the USA at Parliament Hill.
When 90% of their own members are vaccinated, you know they aren't speaking for their own.

Antivax trucker supporters are calling on US truckers to physically confine and take @gofundme employees hostage until funds raised are immediately disbursed to the convoy.
It's obscene Canadian politicians are supporting this

“I’d like to see our own January 6...truckers plough right through that 16 foot wall"
“what would happen if the military stood behind us?"
“There WILL Be a LYNCHING”
“If anything we should grab Trudeau by the god damn neck & kick the shit out of him..."

I mean, these objectively are bad people.
Why are politicians supporting this convoy? Just like in 2018 with United We Roll, the signs were there if you were willing to look.
Some seem far to eager to line up for the support of these protestors. Why?

Former CPC leader Andrew Scheer said he supports the truckers explicitly decided to ratchet up political pressure by calling PM Trudeau the "biggest threat to freedom in Canada".
This is purposefully incendiary & Scheer is well aware of what he's doing.

This isn't the first time the former leader of Canada's Conservatives played footies with bigots.
He spoke on the same platform at the Yellowvest 2018 United We Roll Convoy alongside white nationalist Faith Goldy.
This is a dark element of politics.

At that 2018 convoy Conservative Senator David Tkachuk told the crowd of truckers to "roll over" Liberals across the country. He then refused to apologize.
Politicians calling for violence against their political opponents.
Now we're seeing similar acts.

Probably not great for sitting politicians supporting/not denouncing the convoy that supporter videos (called Bigots Corner) are being removed from YouTube for violating hate speech policies.

Hillier is vile & this is dangerous rhetoric

Hillier is also just stupid.
Bottom of the barrel stuff here.
Still not good for politics though.

It's the virus causing worker shortages - food shortages - not vaccine mandates, at least, according to grocery stores themselves.

I guess it's about time the coward @randyhillier blocked me.
Screenshots are forever though, as unfortunately are my memories of interactions with him.
Vile.

And now Donald Trump Jr. is supporting the convoy saying the goal is to "lock down Ottawa, the state capital."

"Did any of you see the signs some of these truckers were displaying as they rolled through Winnipeg?...
Placards proudly plastered onto trucks had messages riddled with anti-Semitism and racism as drivers honked their way through Winnipeg this week."

"Some of the organizers are trying to get people to dial back the rhetoric, but...People are energized in an incredible way...it's hard to see something not happening. I don't know if it would be on the scale of Jan. 6...but there are so many angry people"

Good there is registration with apparent removal for misbehaviour & that they'll forward truck & license plate numbers to police.
Hopefully that's followed through with if necessary

They're calling to overthrow the government outside of election or lack of confidence and Conservative politicians line up to support them.
