Since the weekend, the protest (against vaccine mandates) has shut down their capital and a border crossing. Coincidentally their Prime Minister caught COVID and either went in to hiding or quarantine.
Some media and politicians have called the truck protesters racists, fascists, and authoritarians

A similar convoy to DC had their Facebook page shut down.
I dumped a load on da prime ministers basement. Da covid is really from da shit fumes
We da truckers standing up for our rites to da $5 lapperz in da sleeper
They're protesting a vaccine mandates for truckers.... who consistently travel and can easily spread and catch the virus.
Getting to the point where Governments can either end the covid bullshit or be removed involuntarily.
How do governments end a pandemic without taking any measures to end or mitigate it?
Government stays out of it; people get sick; some die; the pandemic morphs into endemic and life goes on. I don't need the help of Government to handle my health and the idea progressives are going to tell me what to do is a fucking non-starter. Its why despite a mask mandate in my City, my office is mask free.
So you will refuse Medicare when you retire?
I will have Medicare while I am working, wtf does it have to do with retirement. Anything the morons in government hand out I will take.
“ Anything the morons in government hand out I will take.”
Before someone says something snarky, if ski paid taxes over his lifetimes it’s not like he’s taking something he already didn’t pay for to begin with.
^yeah because your smarmy faggot comment added a lot.
So you agree with extended unemployment benefits too coz people paid into that.
Unemployment should be a few weeks in this economy. Extended unemployment is welfare and as such is opposed by real Americans. Get a job you lazy cunt Icee. You actually make the semen stain known as thatxguy seem almost human. Anyone using the term Repug is retarded.
Iceefag Unemployment Benefits are paid for by a tax{FUTA) on employers, employees dot pay that tax so back the fuck off you leech
Unemployment amounts are based on your earnings. You earn those bwnefits.
No stupid Iceefag U/I costs are 100% paid by the employer, the cost is based on the employee wage amount, but the amount is plus whatever that employee earns not one red cent is deducted from wages.
P. S. Your tax refund is subsidized by your employer, your refund consists of not just what you’ve paid in tax but partially by the employer match amount as well( ie: child tax credits) that too is a giveaway to leeches like you.
Usually Republicans are fighting for the Plantation Economy, for the 1%.
But when it comes to fighting the COVID mandates and against that vaccine, they are fighting for Main Street, and that is a huge improvement.

20fag the amount of your benefits depend on your earnings. You work for it. And let business owners pay. Make the leaches pay more lulz
25, the whole system helps employers get away with paying non-livable wages. Taxpayers are subsidizing these kinds of employers.

I’ve said this many times and son it applies to you it’s very hard to win an argument with a smart person with a stupid person it’s impossible Explain how you earned something you haven’t paid for that was given to you by a government grant, I can picture you taking your shoplifted merchandise back and complaining that it doesn’t fit.
@SJG I paid my employees generally above average and way above scale, that was never an issue in my business, most of my employees owned their own homes, cars and some owned boats every one had paid vacation health insurance and 11 paid holidays a year, so that’s really an unfair characterization of the relationship I had and still have with many of my employees.
Never said that you paid to little. But there are others who do. Tax payers are subsidizing them.

Wow just wow
Welfare basically subsidizes wages. Businesses get away with paying unlivable wages so the government gives them welfare to subsidize the low wages.
Stupid just stupid, hard to believe anyone can be so stupid
A business pays a very low wage. No benefits. The gov then gives welfare benefits to subsidize that at tax payers expense rather than make the business lay a living wage.
Iceefag are you on meth?
When the demographics of this country were different and being a loser on welfare was shameful people had no problem working and living on their wages. Progressives believe that if something is solidly made using cement, you can use demographics to get rid of the cement, substitute corn flour and get the same result as cement. So glad to be older.
Ironic a vocal minority calling themselves the "Freedom Movement" are denying others the freedom of movement.
The same assholes supporting the BLM race riots and looting oppose the Freedom movement.
The left has made a fucking mess for itself by supporting COVID hysteria.
SJG
Thank God for the Canadian truckers - they are teaching everyone how to fight for Democracy - if one doesn't stand up to the tyrants now, we'll be under their boot for decades to come as they consolidate their power
What's really going on
I don’t get this, exactly how does tying up traffic and inconveniencing millions of people many whom agree with your point of view, get considered a protest for freedom , it’s really just a temper tantrum, by a bunch of spoiled idiots really.
Blm was protesting police brutality. Some on here were applauding the killing of protestors and police brutality against yhem
In Canada rich people are getting their employees to protest pandemic mitigation efforts jn a third world style right wing cazuelazo.
Jeezaloo this is getting tedious everything keeps coming back to BLM, who has time to be outraged about everything that happens, and to bring it up, over and over it’s a fixation and it’s annoying as fuck, if y’all want to protest go ahead iDGAF. But if you block traffic in my neighborhood I’m not going to support your cause even if it’s a save the orphans
^ Go to a strip club get a few lap dances, don’t worry be happy The problems of the world will still be here but you’ll care a bit less😃
I’m not 12 years old anymore 🤣
Well, after the Boston Tea Party a lot of people didn't get their tea. I'm sure some of them were really pissed off for the inconvenience.
Get off my lawn
If they didn't have a bunch of big trucks and just walked out and stood in the road to protest something like not getting shot by police y'all would be calling them terrorist....
Leftist Karl Marx predicted a worker revolt - the current woke-left is so utterly fucked-up that they've managed the opposite of turning workers against them
@papi they dont work so not much for them to do as far as seizing the means of production.
It’s interesting to see Trudeau calling them racist terrorists, then see pictures of them setting up bouncy castles for their kids. Cognitive dissonance.
Trudeau threw every derogatory term he could find at the truckers all the while praising and supporting the violent antifa and blm riots - what an elitist prick
So younsupport them coz they're extremely right wingers like you.
Icey they are not extreme at all they parked their trunk and honked their horns, and set up a bunch of bouncey houses that they are letting kids there with the parents. You are just an extreme leftist faggot cocksucker with literally no heart, lulz. Go buy some more heroine you utter pussy
I am totally opposed to the Right.
But we also must end all COVID mandates and that so called vaccine should not even be on the market
SJG
Most Canadians oppose these nazis
Canadians are also fed up with the COVID idiocy, as also most Americans are coming to be.
SJG
A new poll conducted by the Angus Reid Institute shows that the majority (54%) of Canadians now say they want all COVID restrictions to end. This is an increase of 15-points since early January. The institute points out that many Canadians now feel that they want to manage their own level of risk instead of having government do it for them.
^ AMEN!
The Democratic Party made a deal with the Devil in going along with COVID hysteria.
SJG

Even big-government European-countries are lifting all restrictions - it's obvious there are those that just get off on the power the mandates give them and why they don't wanna give that up till they have no choice
Senator John Kennedy: ‘More People Trust Dr. Pepper Than Dr. Fauci’
LOL
Here it was a deal with the Devil which the National Leadership of the Democratic Party made, to make sure that the 2020 campaign was not a discussion about Universal Health Care.
SJG
You're short sighted and out of touch with reality
The Republican Party, most of it, conducted itself reprehensively on Jan 6, 2021, and they still are doing so.
People need to prosecuted.
And Fauci needs to retire as the entire COVID and so called vaccine mess is investigated. I suspect the very very worst will be found.
SJG
Watch covid get out of control as mitigation efforts are stopped. We're already worst off than when we started. This is all being done to protect corporate profits. Guess they won't be able to blame the pandemic for price gouging now though.
The anti public health hysteria needs to stop and yes some need to be prosecuted
COVID doesn't need to be controlled. There is no anti-public health hysteria because there is no public health threat.
There is just a nuisance running around. It would have been over in 2020 were it not for the precautions and then that mRNA immuno short circuit.

The tyranny and abuse-of-power continues; and all the more reason to not only keep protesting but increase the protests:
Canadian Court Freezes Freedom Convoy GiveSendGo Donations
Thursday evening, an Ontario, Canada, court effectively froze access to monetary donations to truckers and other Canadians participating in the Freedom Convoy protest in Ottawa, Canada, and elsewhere, through a government order. The Freedom Convoy, a group of more than 50,000 truckers protesting the COVID-19 vaccine mandates and restrictions throughout the Canadian government, raised more than $8 million through the online crowd resourcing platform GiveSendGo after GoFundMe kicked the group off of its own platform last Friday. Now, that money is in limbo as neither truckers nor donors can gain access to it, per the court order.
“BREAKING: The Ontario government says it has effectively frozen all donations made to the trucker convoy through GiveSendGo,” Canadian talkshow host Andrew Lawton tweeted Thursday. “It is now a criminal offence to have any ‘dealing’ with money from donations through this platform.”
The donations have not been seized by the government, merely frozen, but seizure could be the next step.
This decision by the Ontario government highlights why attorney for the Freedom Convoy Keith Wilson recently discussed the importance of Bitcoin as another viable solution for the protesters in Canada and elsewhere, as pointed out by The Post Millennial:
“With respect to bitcoin, what we’ve witnessed… what the world has witnessed is the power of government to manipulate the flows of peoples hard-earned dollars, to advance a government’s objectives and to seek to defeat the will of individuals in their democratic process.”
We need to force an end to all COVID mandates in the US, and that so called vaccine should be off the market.
Final justice will take decades as it is all investigated and the culpable parties hunted down. Either they will stand trial, or DNA will identify their remains.

What do you get out of ending pandemic mitigation efforts
Freedom to live our lives as we see best.
Freedom to run our businesses to provide for our families.
Freedom from oppressive government regulations.
I'm gonna dedicate my next VIP FS session to the Canadian truckers
The Pandemic is over. Just look up a graph of new cases.it’s now an endemic, similar to a seasonal flu. It’s over. Kaput. Dead. Finished. Time to burn the masks.
What do you get out of ending mitigation efforts in canada?
Is wearing a mask more repressive than police brutality?
The left won't let go of Covid - it's all they got and in-large-part what got Basement-Biden elected
^ This has very little to do with Covid, it is quickly becoming a law and order issue, these truckers are impeding the ability to get business done, the authorities will get their marching orders from, the capitalists, the folks trying to use this as a wedge are socialists and communists, so you right leaning folks, keep this in perspective, you interfere with my right to make a living, deal with the consequences.
^ I don't recall you saying that about the BLM riots. This is 100% about the citizens telling the Government to take its covid power and shove it up their ass.
I have never commented on BLM, if you think one thing, has to do with the other, you are sorely mistaken, for the record, I have never been in favor of the BLM people, as far as I'm concerned they are the same as Al Sharpton, just con merchants, trying to make a buck off of tragedies, so stop with your what about-isms they are stupid and show how little you really know about what is going on.
More impotent threats 25 the democrat. You're afraid of the truckers. Its ok.
^ Stupid to waste breath engaging with a moron, every time I engage with you I feel like a bully picking on the slow kid.
Here's an example of big tech's left bias twitter.com
If you asked google why truckers are angry it promoted the answer that truckers are stupid.
^ Not claiming that truck drivers are stupid, but this protest is not really as popular as right wing media portrays,t closing of international borders is in no one’s best interest. The Canadian government cant allow this to continue, so the idea is quit while they’re ahead.
This is another beautiful example of leftist lies, hypocrisy, and profiteering from strife. Trudeau calling the truckers racist, terrorists, etc.; after having supported BLM and Antifa rioting and looting. Using courts and executive orders to unlawfully freeze funds and have truckers arrested. Even Canadian law enforcement is refusing to arrest them. Biden wants us to be afraid that American truckers will disrupt the superbowl, and has DHS alerted for it, LOL. Surprisingly, the oppressive government loves having the pandemic to hang over us and try to make us live in fear, remove our right to gather, impede our ability to pursue happiness, disrupt entrepreneurs and small businesses. Any leftist who says the opposed vaccine mandates or BLM is fucking liar. It's like gun control, they want to control YOUR guns, not their own. Defund the police while they pay thousands for private security. That's what makes the average democrat voter such a useful idiot.
Canada has an 80% vaccination rate. The pandemic is endemic. Like influenza, some seasonal strains will have higher mortality than others. The vaccines have failed. The boosters have failed. Masks are ineffective. It has been demonstrated that lockdowns hurt more people than they save. The only reason for dragging out Draconian COVID measures is to maintain power and control over the electorate. It is inexcusable for anyone to fail to see that.
Trudeau even had the police illegally confiscate the gasoline supplies the truckers had bought - what an authoritarian POS
The powers to be wanna also hold-on to Covid authoritarianism so they cqn manipulate elections in their favor so they can keep power in face of terrible polls and their terrible results
Well I guess its ok to shut down a major economic artery and put people put of work because you don't like to be told what to do. Who is actually repressing business and restricting others freedoms here? It really doesn't make much sense except to get headlines and make businesses suffer.
This is the stuff of leftist politics and reminds me of old school union tactics. Canada is a strong union state and attributing this to right wing political tactics is just an attempt to find some way to fit a manufactured narrative.
Hilarious response, upright, i needed that chuckle.
25: "Not claiming that truck drivers are stupid, but this protest is not really as popular as right wing media portrays"
Agree. They are being used (and well financed if their funds didn't keep getting frozen) to trigger international uprisings.
history sure does have a way of repeating itself. whenever the dems/leftists want and are given am inch of rope they pull up an inch plus an extra mile. after that the mile and inch are not going to be given back. and they keep pulling and pulling.
it's tug and war. all eyes are on the truckers to see if that mile n inch of rope can be taken back. and to all those that are against the truckers' cause because they are temporarily being an inconvenience fuck you!!!! sorry if they're blocking you from where you gotta go. sorry if all your favorite ice cream, fine dining menu items, etc are still in those trucks. as a leftist/dem would say ahh not sorry.
600 Million in lost revenue is allot of ice cream. Not really what anybodys economy needs at this time.
The COVID precautions have always been seriously fucked.
The Democratic Party Leadership went this way because they wanted to cut off sensible discussion of Universal Health Care.
SJG
I’m generally not-in-favor of the law been broken (w.r.t. the truckers stopping traffic; etc) – but I have a bigger issue w/ the double-standard where leftist rioters are often coddled by the left although they do way-worse such as:
attacking civilians
attacking police officers
destroying both public and private property (police stations; courthouses; private-businesses; etc)
Over the past 2-years we’ve continuously had two systems of justice; one where they go as easy-as-possible on often violent leftwing rioters, and a different one for those not on the left – recently a black-dude was sentenced for burning down a business; there was someone inside the business that was killed b/c of his actions – he was charged w/ murder but the leftist politicians came out to defend him and demanded a lower-sentence “because he was protesting for social justice”; and he got a reduced sentence – leftist violent rioters are coddled and the current powers-to-be go after law-abiding citizens w/ everything they have for way less non-violent acts.
Left protests, like BLM, are generally very lawful.
Those people who came out in support of Cliven Bundy, they were just chamber at the federal agents because they knew that being White, they would not get into any trouble.
If Blacks did anything like that it would have been really bad, and we would have new gun control laws, like we did in response to the Black Panthers.
SJG
"... leftist violent rioters are coddled and the current powers-to-be go after law-abiding citizens w/ everything they have for way less non-violent acts ..."
Case-in-point:
"Video Appears To Show Canadian Police Visiting Home Of Woman Who Supported The Truckers On Facebook"
There really aren't leftist violent rioters very often. And it is usually unplanned.
But the Canadian Trucker thing is an organized type of illegality.
SJG
They were for the most part peaceful protests.
Here the violent rioters were all SJPD.
SJG
Well then there is violence on all sides, at least a little.
BLM is peaceful. But Right Wing Terrorists shot two federal cops in Oakland under the cover of the BLM peaceful protest.
SJG
"Mostly peaceful riots", as buildings burn in the background. You have to be an utter moron to give CNN or MSNBC any credibility.
So how many of you are starting a freedom caravan here in the US? Why not?
