some seem to be arguing over whether this breaks records (and no, it probably was not measured for the guineess book) but that’s a sideshow. it’s the silly misframing to hide the larger point in semantic squabble. who cares if it’s in guinness?
this is big, it’s a genuine mass movement. and people are behind it and tired of their lives being “justin tyranny.”
“hold unacceptable views”
i mean, wow. just wow. i had to listen to that one for myself to believe it. it’s one of the most arrogant, lunatic, self-important things i have ever heard a western leader say. sorry, but you say something like that about people simply asking for freedom and you are unfit for office. period.
it means you do not understand what your job is.
real leaders of free societies serve the people and safeguard their rights and liberty. the people do not serve the leader and need them to delineate what is and is not acceptable to think.
the whole notion is, frankly, disgusting.
“undermining the rights and freedoms and values of canada.”
sorry, but all i see when he says that is this:
he’s using every scummy trick in the book. straw manning, othering, vilification, and outright lies to attempt to shift the blame here.
but the battle lines are simple:
trudeau stands for totalitarian fascism and submission. he stands for mandatory accession to a regime of medical treatment that people do not want and for the denial of basic human rights and agency to those who refuse.
he wants ID to track you and he just told you point blank who he thinks is the judge of what views it is “acceptable” for you to hold.
he’s been trying to call this group racist, sexist, anti-vaxxer, and any other epithet that will stick.
but none of it is true. it’s the ramblings of a broken mind turning on itself. someone quipped the other day that “the good part about socialists is that they always end up shooting each other.”
this is why that happens. the spiral totally out of control because they cannot believe that they are not right. the will not believe it. every new fact, ever failed 5 year plan, every vaccine disaster just makes them double down again because they are narcissistic ideologues and to do anything but double down and deny the validity or even the possibility of any other viewpoint constitutes existential abnegation for them.
the cannot tell themselves apart from the platonic forms of their ideas. they are the science. they are the common good. they are reason. their right to rule is absolute and every opposition to it is a reactionary rebellion by evil people who must be crushed.
these are very dangerous people.
they portray you and your freedom as “intolerable” to mask that it is they themselves who cannot be tolerated.
they must NOT be tolerated.
their views and pathologies are antithetical to liberty, personal agency, freedom, and human flourishing.
know what a tyrant fears by what he will not allow to be spoken
this is direct action in defense of freedom. these people are heroes and patriots.
and the true power lies with them. it always has.
this is the way.
these are not antivaxxers. most ARE vaxxed.
these are anti-mandaters, and that distinction is one you can drive a truck through.
“We’re going to end mandates,” convoy co-organizer Chris Barber said.
“It’s not about anti-vaccination — that’s everybody’s personal choice — this is about the mandates,” said Barber.
He added:
“The straw that broke the camel’s back was the U.S.A. border for commercial drivers, and you have to show the COVID passport — a lot of guys are going to lose their jobs over that.”
Barber, a truck driver of 28 years, said he himself is vaccinated, but he wants to support fellow drivers who are not.
“This (COVID-19 vaccination) passport has gone too far,” said Barber. “If we can’t get across the border freely, and we’re being forced to [be vaccinated] by the federal government, we can take a stand or we can’t.”
these are not “unacceptable views.” this is the bedrock foundation of basic liberty.
these are free people who will not submit the imposition of “health passports” because they know where that leads. they know what follows the thin end of that wedge if you allow it to be driven in. this leads to “your papers please” as a prerequisite to having a life.
and pretty soon, they stop saying please.
and pretty soon, they attach your bank accounts, your job, your social media, your kids, and everything else they can find to it and you have a real live social credit system to impose remote control totalitarian tyranny.
anyone who still thinks this is a conspiracy theory needs to remember that these same people were calling vaccine passports a conspiracy theory what, 3 or 4 months ago? you could get kicked off twitter for claiming they were coming.
the distance between “that’s a conspiracy theory” and “of course the government is doing that and here’s why it’s a good thing for you” is getting awfully short around here.
but many saw this whole arc for what it was right from the beginning because it’s the same pernicious playbook from the 30’s.
even if you missed that, the minute they denied natural immunity and claimed that only vaccines can stop spread, you knew proof positive that this had nothing to do with a virus.
these truckers want to break this cycle before it goes really, really bad.
and they can.
watch tyrannical trudie’s face in that video at the top. compare it to the one linked in the incipient fascism post.
he’s not smug anymore. he looks harried. he looks scared.
that’s because this is real and this is what works. this is the massive uprising and the sign that the people are NOT with him. and no one will be able to miss it anymore.
trudeau has a 36% approval rating and if this holds, it’s going to end him. and what a good riddance to bad baggage that will be.
his government deserves to fall.
and the people deserve better.
and this is how they get it.
this is not “let’s march and carry signs on sunday and go back to work on monday".” this is “let’s bring this place to a dead stop until you stop vilifying and attacking us and trying to take our rights away.”
this is real pressure, peaceful and implacable.
justin would have you believe these are the deluded few.
but they are not.
they are the enlightened many.
justin would have you believe these are the enemies of the state.
but they are not.
they are its champions.
justin would have you call these people science deniers and racists and misogynists seeking to drag you into darkness.
but they are not.
they are the light.
it is trudeau and his WEF ideologue cronies who comprise the darkness and the night they bring is indeed full of terrors.
these people are liars and manipulators. they are demagogues and denigrators. they divide and they conquer and to this end they have erected a cultish system of submission as hallucinatory as it is oppressive.
and their time is done.
they had a shot at the off ramps, and they chose not to take them.
they have overplayed their hand.
they woke the lions.
this is the good fight.
join it, support it, cheer it on and lend your voices.
this is what ungovernability looks like.
this is emergent order and action to restore liberty.
you get to keep the rights that you’re willing to fight for. no more. but no less either.
Shit man, my friend just sent me a video of her boys joining the Convoy. I’m so proud of these people fighting for our rights!!! ❤️🙏❤️🙏❤️🙏Support them in any way you can!
The little shitweasel just claimed he's been exposed to someone who was tested positive for covid. He says that he has tested negative but needs to isolate for 5 days. He's supposed to meet with the truckers in 2 days, so I guess he thinks he just got himself off the hook. Think again. He's triple vaxxed, so I guess he now doesn't believe in the vaccine.
Trudeau, along with Newsom, Buttigieg, Jacinda Arden and many other politicians were students of the Davos World Economic Forum led by Klaus Schwab. They literally studied how to take control over the people. You can Google a list of WEF alumni. This takeover has been in the works for decades. It’s happening now because all of these “students” are finally in place- as leaders of the world in most of the biggest countries.
I think one of the greatest failings of C19 is not the vaccines, not the lock-downs, not the stupidity and ineptitude.
It's our leaders unwillingness to admit they made mistakes.
In Christianity, you can ask forgiveness and be absolved of every sin you ever committed. There is good reason for this. We are human. We fail at things all day every day and will continue to do so from here to eternity. Sometimes those failures are enormous.
This is just the nature of what we are.
It's also why forgiveness is so important.
I think most of us, when faced with someone who authentically acknowledges a mistake and asks for forgiveness - we will give that forgiveness. Not only that, we may even feel kinship with them and hold them in higher regard. Frankly, this act is so rare these days that many of us may even cry to experience it.
But we cannot forgive until the mistake has been acknowledged. Until then there can never be trust and the anger of the victims will seethe.
Trudeau, if you have any sense of obligation to the communities you've been entrusted to lead, you must admit when you failed and you must ask for forgiveness.
Yes, your transgressions have been great and yes some may even face time in jail, but depending on your sincerity, you may yet be a hero.
All leaders, be courageous. Admit your mistakes. Ask for forgiveness. Our pains may be intense, but they will be finite and we will be able to move on.
Failure to do so is the one mistake that may be forgivable by God, but not human beings and the negative implications of your failures to yourself and to us - incalculable.
Justin just pulled the “I’ve been exposed” card and declared he is negative but isolating haha. If this fringe movement is so small - how did they raise over 5 million in small donations.
Bless you, el gato, for this bringing more attention to this incredible effort by our amazing truckers. I will be heading out shortly to join the crowd at a local overpass.
I was really losing hope this country had any guts to push back against the idiotic ramblings of justy trudope the man-child, but it warms my heart to see Canadians pulling together to donate to keep them afloat and cheer them on.
Anybody who does not feel their skin crawl when they hear words like "misinformation" and "disinformation" and phrases like "unacceptable thought" aren't paying attention.
Parliament: “place of discussion”. And we’ve had none on these mandates. Zero.
Executive order: “expert”, unidimensional decree by government fiat. And we’ve had plenty, unending fiat and decree.
Trudeau is not a king.
By LAW, by our Charter, Parliamentary discussion of vax pass mandates is required.
So, our courageous truckers are now speaking DIRECTLY to parliament. It’s called civil disobedience. It’s legal. And Canadians, and the planet, are responding.
As ever, Milton Mayer’s “They Thought They Were Free: The Germans, 1933–45” captures this period in history to the letter:
“This separation of government from people, this widening of the gap, took place so gradually and so insensibly, each step disguised (perhaps not even intentionally) as a temporary emergency measure or associated with true patriotic allegiance or with real social purposes. And all the crises and reforms (real reforms, too) so occupied the people that they did not see the slow motion underneath, of the whole process of government growing remoter and remoter.”
“Each step was so small, so inconsequential, so well explained or, on occasion, ‘regretted,’ that, unless one were detached from the whole process from the beginning, unless one understood what the whole thing was in principle, what all these ‘little measures’ that no ‘patriotic German’ could resent must some day lead to, one no more saw it developing from day to day than a farmer in his field sees the corn growing. One day it is over his head.”
These heroic truckers and all who bravely stand with them are doing precisely what we must do to reclaim our freedoms—RESIST THE BEGINNINGS:
“Many, many times since it all happened I have pondered that pair of great maxims, Principiis obsta and Finem respice—‘Resist the beginnings’ and ‘Consider the end.’ But one must foresee the end in order to resist, or even see, the beginnings.”
My great hope is that this convoy really is every bit as large, larger! than it's being presented on social media, and that it will stay, and stay, and STAY, until the job is done. Anything less will be a surrender. If Trudeau walks away from this unchastised, if Ottawa gets to just ride out a couple of days of disruption and then go back to normal, then our overlords will just flush the whole thing down the memory hole, ram a big serving of "Insurrection! Like Jan. 6!" down our throats with it, and double down (triple down? or should I say triple jab?) on the demonization of anyone who speaks against them.
I genuinely do not know if Canada can be saved from itself. We are not unlike California. Progressives run this country, run it badly, and run it with that terrible smugness knowing that nobody will stop them. We have a simpering coward of an opposition leader who won't voice any support for the convoy and hasn't voiced any opposition to any mandates at any point in time, so scared is he of being condemned in the MSM, who are all in bed with Trudeau and his ilk anyway.
This really may be it. Our last, best shot. Pray for us.
When I think of how bad our President is.. Trudeau says... "hold my beer". Competing for the worst, New Zealand and Canada. I mean if you are my age, Canada was a place to escape to for freedom, but dang times change in the strangest ways.
Cdn here…happy to eat bread and water in order to starve our brain dead population. I pray they put the fear of god in us. Otherwise..canada is doomed. Btw- turd eau announced today he is “ self isolating due to covid exposure” 😂
I was just cheering the convoy on this morning as they passed through Hamilton, ON on their way to Ottawa. There were hundreds of people and a sea of Canadian flags on the overpass and along the whole roadway. I'm getting reports that every single overpass from Niagara to Burlington was packed with people. This country has come alive in a way I've never seen before and I'm 50 years old.
Trudeau claims to be speaking for all peoplekind, but he's not. He's lying moistly!
In all seriousness though - lots of things I can't stand about Trudy, but his total lack of moral imagination is the top of my list. Every time there is a position he disagrees with, his response is not, "Well I disagree but I as your Prime Minister will do my best to understand your position and serve all Canadians to the best of my ability." No, it's "You're position is unacceptable. People like you are not welcome in this country." His Overton window is not a window, but a single point, that he uniquely is standing on.
For the first time in a long time, I’m proud to be Canadian—at least one of those who openly stand with these brave men and women and all they represent. I’m seeing constant misinformation on the size, nature and politics of those involved in the convoy, some of which is sadly perpetuated by friends and family still in the thrall of pandemic fear-porn. If indeed tens of thousands of trucks arrive at our nation’s capital, that will be a manifestation of our solidarity too powerful and real to ignore.
Trudeau should be scared, and I’m glad he’s doubling down, because he’s railing against reality and the actual science and that’s a fight you can delay but never win.
"it’s one of the most arrogant, lunatic, self-important things i have ever heard a western leader say. sorry, but you say something like that about people simply asking for freedom and you are unfit for office. period. the whole notion is, frankly, disgusting. he’s using every scummy trick in the book. straw manning, othering, vilification, and outright lies to attempt to shift the blame here. trudeau stands for totalitarian fascism and submission. he stands for mandatory accession to a regime of medical treatment that people do not want and for the denial of basic human rights and agency to those who refuse. he wants ID to track you and he just told you point blank who he thinks is the judge of what views it is “acceptable” for you to hold.
that’s a tyrant and a demagogue."
Would he be so bold and blatant if Canada had the equivalent of a Second Amendment?
Biggest problem for Canada is that there is no viable alternative. The NDP who were historically the party on the side of labour have already condemned the truckers.
A few Conservative MPs are making the right noises but their party has gone along with everything Trudeau has done until now. People's Party gets my vote but they've yet to win a single seat.
On a positive note, the GoFundMe campaign has raised over $6M
Yup! I just got back from cheering on the Fort Erie contingent of the convoy. It was glorious! There were so many of us just on one overpass cheering them on, so many people honking and waving approval long before the convoy passed through. We are fed up! Enough is enough. True North strong and free! Trudeau isn't a Canadian, he hates us and everything we stand for and he has got to go. Go truckers!
"even if you missed that, the minute they denied natural immunity and claimed that only vaccines can stop spread, you knew proof positive that this had nothing to do with a virus."
Trudeau heads a minority government. The Liberals are only in power because of the NDP. In the last election they received around 30% of the vote and were elected only because of gerrymandering of the Greater Toronto area (GTA) seats, where most of the new immigrants reside, who have been handed out largesse by the government. Trudeau has illegally suspended Parliament for much of the last 2 years. He fired a female Justice Minister because she was going to expose more corruption. Who is the misogynist in that equation?
There is no meaningful Opposition. The Liberals have gutted Parliament and over the last 15 years have gradually shifted power from Parliament to the Prime Ministers Office. They are now in the process of stripping the Canadian Charter of Rights of any meaning. Let's not forget that the Charter opens with the words: "Whereas Canada is founded upon principles that recognize the supremacy of God and the rule of law":
Note the colon. Everything else that follows in the Charter is governed by that opening statement.
The Governments (federal and provincial) have abandoned both the supremacy of God, and the rule of law. They have turned against their people. Maxine Bernier (PPC leader) is absolutely right when he said that "When tyranny becomes law, revolution becomes OUR DUTY".
Quote: "this is not “let’s march and carry signs on sunday and go back to work on monday".” this is “let’s bring this place to a dead stop until you stop vilifying and attacking us and trying to take our rights away.” (end quote)
Very true. Multiple counties in Europe have had weekly marches and it has done zero good, if anything those in power are doubling down. Singing songs, doing the wave, and chanting clever slogans has zero impact against totalitarians. People think these "leaders" are decent people like us that would change their minds only if they understood why people are upset. Completely wrong, at best they are corrupt beyond our imagination, more likely they are sociopaths.
The only thing that will stop them is to grind the system to a halt that enables them.
My late brother was a long-haul trucker. (Brother trucker jokes okay, if you wish—humour of any sort is welcome these days.) I'm pretty sure he'd be on his way to the Canadian border if he were alive.
By the way, I chipped in a little money to the effort. BUT—I also just saw that GoFundMe had frozen the account. Is that true? If so, I suspect chicanery and coercion.
Some comments on other boards were saying "It's only 50-100 trucks" LMAO. Check out how long highway #1 is across Manitoba. The convoy was entering Ontario as the last trucks entered the west of Manitoba. That is a province wide convoy.
when your head of state starts talking about a minority community's "unacceptable views" threatening the rights and freedoms of everyone else, you're gonna have a bad time.
I find it amusing when I hear some entitled millennial who makes 1/4 million a year trash the blue collar mindset. They also bitch when they get their plumbers bill. They have not made the connection that people who work in the real-physical world possess power & knowledge that make water come out of a spigot, or poop go down the toilet. The light bulb will begin slowly to illuminate for many of them soon.
Every time I see Trudeau, I see a snake. I used to do a lot of psychedelics back in my heyday, and one of the things they do is present people in animal forms. One friend of mine was a big teddy bear. Another was a frog.
I don't need acid to see that Trudeau is an absolute snake. Maybe a snake/weasel combo. He is a construct, a bot, a well-groomed useful idiot, but a dangerous one. Like any dangerous, cornered animal that's frothing at the mouth, he must be put down.
To be clear, I'm not calling for violence. But he must be removed by all peaceful avenues possible. And then, that vacuum must be filled by someone who doesn't have a mind implant and has a real live human heart.
I support this, being in Canada but I deeply hope it stays peaceful. The second someone crosses the line is the second the government has all the justification they need to crack down on everyone there. It's the moment when those who support it are forced to turn their backs on the entire movement.
Stay Peaceful and we win. Become violent and we lose.
Why is this not happening in the US? I’m a SAHM already committed to homeschooling - I’m not sure how to make a statement. But if there was a convoy, my 3 year old and I absolutely Hit. The. Road.
As a Canadian, this convoy has been the most hopeful development I’ve witnessed in 22 months. I was shocked Trudeau won again. I was further disillusioned by the Tories agreeing with our bio-fascism rules. These truckers are awesome. I donated $50 to their gofundme. I may donate more. For an elected leader in a free country to tell his citizens they “hold unacceptable views” is disgusting. We need to get rid of him.
Trudeau has gone into hiding under the guise of a potential Covid exposure. The guy is a poster boy for Dunning Kruger effect. Apparently his handlers don’t trust him to manage this situation.

There were so many of us just on one overpass cheering them on, so many people honking and waving approval long before the convoy passed through. We are fed up! Enough is enough. True North strong and free! Trudeau isn't a Canadian, he hates us and everything we stand for and he has got to go. Go truckers!
"even if you missed that, the minute they denied natural immunity and claimed that only vaccines can stop spread, you knew proof positive that this had nothing to do with a virus."
That was the turning point for me.
Trudeau heads a minority government. The Liberals are only in power because of the NDP. In the last election they received around 30% of the vote and were elected only because of gerrymandering of the Greater Toronto area (GTA) seats, where most of the new immigrants reside, who have been handed out largesse by the government. Trudeau has illegally suspended Parliament for much of the last 2 years. He fired a female Justice Minister because she was going to expose more corruption. Who is the misogynist in that equation?
There is no meaningful Opposition. The Liberals have gutted Parliament and over the last 15 years have gradually shifted power from Parliament to the Prime Ministers Office. They are now in the process of stripping the Canadian Charter of Rights of any meaning. Let's not forget that the Charter opens with the words: "Whereas Canada is founded upon principles that recognize the supremacy of God and the rule of law":
Note the colon. Everything else that follows in the Charter is governed by that opening statement.
The Governments (federal and provincial) have abandoned both the supremacy of God, and the rule of law. They have turned against their people. Maxine Bernier (PPC leader) is absolutely right when he said that "When tyranny becomes law, revolution becomes OUR DUTY".
I wonder which Canada would survive better: 1 month without Justin Trudeau, or 1 month without truckers.
Quote: "this is not “let’s march and carry signs on sunday and go back to work on monday".” this is “let’s bring this place to a dead stop until you stop vilifying and attacking us and trying to take our rights away.” (end quote)
Very true. Multiple counties in Europe have had weekly marches and it has done zero good, if anything those in power are doubling down. Singing songs, doing the wave, and chanting clever slogans has zero impact against totalitarians. People think these "leaders" are decent people like us that would change their minds only if they understood why people are upset. Completely wrong, at best they are corrupt beyond our imagination, more likely they are sociopaths.
The only thing that will stop them is to grind the system to a halt that enables them.
My late brother was a long-haul trucker. (Brother trucker jokes okay, if you wish—humour of any sort is welcome these days.) I'm pretty sure he'd be on his way to the Canadian border if he were alive.
By the way, I chipped in a little money to the effort. BUT—I also just saw that GoFundMe had frozen the account. Is that true? If so, I suspect chicanery and coercion.
If someone calls you an antivaxxer, a racist, a mysoginist, or a science denier, just tell them ‘thank you.’
I used to say, “who voted for that asshat,” until we got Biden so I shut up now.
Some comments on other boards were saying "It's only 50-100 trucks" LMAO. Check out how long highway #1 is across Manitoba. The convoy was entering Ontario as the last trucks entered the west of Manitoba. That is a province wide convoy.

There are a few dirty tricks going on with not allowing trucks to stop in one town to get food and activating ALL the weigh stations along the route.
The elite and their media whores don’t have a clue as to the reckoning that is coming their way.

when your head of state starts talking about a minority community's "unacceptable views" threatening the rights and freedoms of everyone else, you're gonna have a bad time.
Oh, the fear in Castro Jr.'s eyes is simply delicious.
I wonder if this was covered in Klaus' class "Effective Dictatorship 101" at the WEF's Young Totalitarians program?
Want to see some serious slimy leftist spin on this? Enter 'canada truckers' into the geobbel and see what comes up.
"Canada police fear violence at trucker vaccine protest."
"'Fringe minority' in truck convoy with 'unacceptable views' don't represent Canadians: Trudeau."
The great unwashed are approaching the target airspace. Pop up some corn and enjoy the show.
Nice work and exactly true.
I find it amusing when I hear some entitled millennial who makes 1/4 million a year trash the blue collar mindset. They also bitch when they get their plumbers bill. They have not made the connection that people who work in the real-physical world possess power & knowledge that make water come out of a spigot, or poop go down the toilet. The light bulb will begin slowly to illuminate for many of them soon.
Every time I see Trudeau, I see a snake. I used to do a lot of psychedelics back in my heyday, and one of the things they do is present people in animal forms. One friend of mine was a big teddy bear. Another was a frog.
I don't need acid to see that Trudeau is an absolute snake. Maybe a snake/weasel combo. He is a construct, a bot, a well-groomed useful idiot, but a dangerous one. Like any dangerous, cornered animal that's frothing at the mouth, he must be put down.
To be clear, I'm not calling for violence. But he must be removed by all peaceful avenues possible. And then, that vacuum must be filled by someone who doesn't have a mind implant and has a real live human heart.
We are...

I support this, being in Canada but I deeply hope it stays peaceful. The second someone crosses the line is the second the government has all the justification they need to crack down on everyone there. It's the moment when those who support it are forced to turn their backs on the entire movement.
Stay Peaceful and we win. Become violent and we lose.
"Unacceptable viewpoint" Nothing to see here.
I read today that the convoy stretches across Manitoba. By my calculation, that's 200 miles!
All I can say at the moment is Thank God for the truckers and for Jordan Peterson, who seems to have recovered from his illness at the right time.
If you havent seen this, it is worth the hour to listen to it.

70+ kilometers/42+ miles? Imagine a truck convoy from:
Empire State Building to West Point Academy.
Miami to Boca Raton
Boston to Manchester
Almost the entire length of Cape Cod, from Long Point Light to the Sagamore Bridge
San Juan to Arecibo (although traffic sucks so bad generally that a 50-mile convoy would actually be less annoying)
Why is this not happening in the US? I’m a SAHM already committed to homeschooling - I’m not sure how to make a statement. But if there was a convoy, my 3 year old and I absolutely Hit. The. Road.
As a Canadian, this convoy has been the most hopeful development I’ve witnessed in 22 months. I was shocked Trudeau won again. I was further disillusioned by the Tories agreeing with our bio-fascism rules. These truckers are awesome. I donated $50 to their gofundme. I may donate more. For an elected leader in a free country to tell his citizens they “hold unacceptable views” is disgusting. We need to get rid of him.
Trudeau has gone into hiding under the guise of a potential Covid exposure. The guy is a poster boy for Dunning Kruger effect. Apparently his handlers don’t trust him to manage this situation.
Go Canada! We support your stand for freedom! Do not go gently into the night of totalitarianism.
When is the US convoy heading to DC? Will be happy to support it.
Only the freshest cream and finest caviar for our Gato Malo!!!
Go Truckers Go! Nice touch, Canadians, with the fireworks!
