| I'm having a wonderful time watching the convoy travel to Ottawa. I sure hope the truckers accomplish raising the thumb off of you to the north! |

Location: Too Far North | Thank you  We are hoping it has an effect on the idiot in Ottawa too. The peron pretending to run this country is smart as a fence post.  |

what is happening
There is a huge convoy of truckers that are set to converge on Ottawa to oust the Prime Minister Trudeau on all of his incredibly debilitating mandates that have shut Canada down. They're expecting over 1/2 million in Ottawa, but that was at the beginning of the week. Miraculously Trudeau has contracted Covid and is in "quarantine," I think that was Wednesday. There is a FB group called Convoy to Ottawa 2022 that is over 700K members from all over the world. The videos of the Canadian support and the convoy are incredible. Roads and overpasses are lined with folks supporting them. The GoFundMe is over 7 million CAD (approx $5.5 mil US) in support for food, lodging, and fuel. There are similar groups popping up all over the world. Austrailia being one, and there is support in the US. |

How convenient he gets exposed to covid right as this is all going down. Good way to hide from what's going on. I'm enjoying seeing the convoy stuff on social media, good for them standing up for what they believe in. I think a majority of the world is getting tired of this lockdown, covid bull****! |

Location: Illinois | No matter what "side" of the mandates/vaccines/covid you're on, you have to admit just the magnitute of a group coming together to stand like that is insane. Mandate aside, they just want to continue to be able to do their job. Which is provide for all of us and their families. Probably one of the coolest things my generation will ever see (millenial here). I support them |

Location: Bastrop, Texas | Justin called the truckers a "fringe group". I have to give him credit....that's how those arrogant globalist elites think. He was being honest. In his mind, they are a fringe group. We're about to find out what that fringe group can actually do. Nothing would make me happier than to see Justin shining shoes in some airport, next to Obama. |

Location: Slipping down the slope of old age. Boo hoo. | There is currently a petition circulating in Canada requesting the Governing General to fire Trudeau. Apparently this position has the power to oust the PM. Last time I looked the petition was approaching 500,000 signatures. I bet it's at a million by tomorrow. |

I seen something on TikTok of someone trying to get one started to go to DC. I'd love to see America do the same thing. I'd even book a flight to DC to be there to witness it! |

Ugh... They were talking about going to Telegram or Gab to start a group there in case it got deleted. The lovely FB communists don't want good folks getting together to take down the machine. I would say just keep an eye out and something else will pop up. |

| They're protesting all of the mandates that Canada has enacted, including making the truckers be vaccinated to cross the border. Also....Did you all see that GoFundMe shut down their account that had over 9 million CAD in it, saying it "went against our policies"?? That is complete crap! They seized the money for a short time, saying if people didn't file a claim that they were going to keep it, but that went over like a lead ballon, so they decided to send refunds. Boycott GoFundMe for sure. |

Wouldn't the easy solution be to not cross the border then? If a place has a mask mandate and I don't want to wear a mask I don't go there. We plan to go to Canada later this year. If for reason they won't let us cross the border then we won't go. I wouldn't have thought about setting up a go fund me account over it. |
