Went downtown Ottawa to pick up a take out, drove near parliament and saw vehicles with Canadian flags driving around this part of downtown. The gov media have waged a campaign of fear and smear around the #TruckerConvoy2022
I am hoping the trucker convoy will spur a national conversation about the goal of the mandates, not stigmatization and divisions. I wish these truckers well. I think especially about those who left family & small children behind. Ottawa is cold tonight. nationalpost.com/news/canada/me…
When the federal gov threatened vaccine passports for travel, I thought they wouldn't do it because doing so would put Canadian citizens at a disadvantage: foreign nationals can enter and leave Canada based on a test if they aren't vaccinated, not Canadian citizens. This is wrong
The proponents of vaccine passports are prisoners of their decision & can't deescalate. They know that the measure they enacted did not serve any purpose. Because there was no rational reason to enact the measure in the first place, there isn't one to lift it now. #cdnpoli
Just for the sake of clarity, many countries have Covid passports, but Canada is one of the few countries (the US is not one of them) who demand vaccination only, it does not accept a negative test. This isn't highlighted enough. #TruckersConvoy2022 #cdnpoli
I am on the 417. Most bridges over the highway are full of people cheering on the truckers. More are coming into Ottawa. Mainly vehicles and pick up trucks. #TruckerConvoy2022 
Evening CBC report on #TruckersConvoy: "Roudy. One organizer has links to extreme right. Flew plane showing poster insulting #Trudeau who is now with family in undisclosed location for safety." #TruckersForFreedom2022
Unvaccinated Canadians insulted by #Trudeau who unleashed a wave of hate on them have nowhere to hide for their safety. #TruckerConvoy2022
I am neither on the Right nor on the Left. I have my own mind. My conscience tells me the truckers are right. They have initiated a movement to free us. There is too much overreach of the state into our private lives under pretext of the pandemic. Enough. #TruckersForFreedom
There is a tyrant in everyone of us if left unchecked or whenever we feel vulnerability in the Other. If we give free rein for rulers to govern us as they like under the pretext that they're going to save our lives, we will be awakening the tyrant in them. #TruckersForFreedom
Since 911, we've been witnessing an erosion of our freedoms under the pretext to save our lives. This has been going on uninterrupted. With the pandemic, this erosion has reached a new level: selfhood & self-ownership. I am not against vaccines, I am against unjustified mandates.
I have witnessed the #TruckerConvoy2022 on highway 417 today. I can tell you, this is bigger than the PM, his acolytes and his media could have ever imagined. #cdnpoli
There is anger and frustration, not only among truckers, but among Canadians in general. There is economic anxiety too. You can't give people freedom and economic growth and slowly take all this away because there is a virus around. #Trudeau has done just this. #TruckerConvoy2022
