Hibernation Day #119 | Went to the BC Legislature for the rally. My lovely wife came too. Great crowd, lots of trucks, lots of Canadian flags, huge support for the truckers and freedom. #TruckersForFreedom2022 1/
The truckers and this sort of rally are about creating a counter-narrative. It is very easy, especially if you get your information from legacy media, to think everyone agrees with the government's policies. #TruckersForFreedom2022 2/
Simply by showing up the truckers and the people at the Leg demonstrate that this is not true. There are lots of people, jabbed and unjabbed, who oppose mandates and passports. By showing up they give politicians the prod needed to change policy. #TruckersForFreedom2022 3/
The first crack in the government dam appeared today when Scott Moe, Premier of Saskatchewan, indicted that vax passports would soon be a thing of the past in that province. #TruckersForFreedom2022 4/
I'll believe it when I see it, but the fact a Premier is thinking about the end of the vax pass is encouraging. And, as the details are being worked out, I suspect businesses will slacken their enforcement. #TruckersForFreedom2022 5/
A waning virus, falling case numbers and rising public resistance all suggest the end of the COVID hysteria is coming closer. The appetite for more restrictions has pretty much vanished which is the first step towards developing an appetite for fewer. #TruckersForFreedom2022 6/
One of the interesting things about the trucker's lockdown of Ottawa is that the official narrative has pretty much dropped all reference the the necessity of getting jabbed. It is all "what awful people these truckers are" and that's not working. #TruckersForFreedom2022 7/
Even the false flag Confederate flags were not enough. The fact is that the truckers channel the fact we have all had more than enough. And the waning of Omicron kicks what ever is left of the public health argument to the curb. #TruckersForFreedom2022 8/
The pressure on politicians to end the mandates and the passports is only going to increase and the shrills of the vax Karens will just sound even loonier as the case count falls. #TruckersForFreedom2022 9/
I expect more provinces will begin to relax restrictions in the next few weeks. Events like today's demonstrate that the "#fingeminority" is growing. Spring is Coming! #TruckersForFreedom2022 10/10

Hibernation Day #118 | A bit grey and still cool here in Victoria. The truckers and their supporters are pulling into Ottawa. The CBC notes they don't have a permit...peak karening. #NoVaccinePassportsAnywhere 1/
There is more than enough commentary on the truckers and their meaning for Canada and Canadian politics. For legacy media the storyline today seems to be "white nationalists with unacceptable views and big poopy heads." Whatever. #NoVaccinePassportsAnywhere 2/
Meanwhile, Ontario's CMO said that COVID was something we are just going to have to learn to live with. There is a lot of that sort of talk. Omicron has downgraded the virus from airborne ebola status. #NoVaccinePassportsAnywhere 3/
Hibernation Day #117 | Lovely, clear, sunny day. A bit cold here on the Island. But watching our truckers and their overpass and parking lot supporters in -40 I count my blessings. #FreedomConvoy2022 1/
I have never been more proud to be Canadian. This has the same feeling as the first Russia Canada all the way back in 1972. A nation standing together. But the truckers are about more important things. #FreedomConvoy2022 2/
So are the thousands of people standing in the freezing cold on the overpasses. Or the people handing out home made lunches at the truck stops. Or the people pushing the GoFundMe over 6 million. #FreedomConvoy2022 3/
