Truckers are mad cause they will be required vaccine to enter Canada and protesting Trudeau which is kinda pointless given US also require truckers entering the US to be vaccinated. So even if this work and Trudeau drop the mandate, it will make 0 difference as they need one to go into the US anyways. Real big brain over there. Along with that, they want to remove all restrictions, for all of us. Masks, distancing, capacity restrictions, poof, all gone. So called truckers. Lets be honest, these aren't truckers. These are easily manipulated people who happen to be truckers, who were duped by right wing propaganda 2 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hoping to see the end of vaccine passports in the near future as I think it’s one of the biggest steps to convince the unvaccinated to move forward and get vaccinated as it removes the talking point of coercion. Also helps all Canadians move forward together no benefit to dividing us need a unifying force to emerge that brings everyone together. That's the danger with modern social media: the information you get on your feed is tailored by the algorithm to keep you engaged. The fact is this is a protest largely organized by far-right racists, using the understandable angst people have with pandemic measures for their own purposes. https://www.antihate.ca/the_freedom_convoy_is_nothing_but_a_vehicle_for_the_far_right There were plenty of Patsys who participate in the January 6th storming of the Capitol in Washington who thought they were being patriotic. Let's hope this event doesn't go in that direction. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Go talk to your provincial government not ottawa. And 2, regarding the organizers of this event and those who turned up with Nazi flags, confederate flags and violent sentiments, there is no unification with those people. They are not Canadian, we fought their mantra back in the 40s and it was settled there and then Top answers from far left trying to portray this convoy in such a way -these people are racist far right wingers. -they are dumb and don't get it -their number are small, so it's irrelevant -the election results prove Jt has mandate to vax you all -look, there is a confederate flag, these guys are assholes. -the organizers want to promote violence. -they are dumb. -they don't care about you JT can end the whole thing with a stroke of the pen. None of the above is true. These are regular blue collar Canadian just wanting to go to work. 2 2 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And I would sincerely hope he does nothing of the sort, since plenty of proof has been choices that many, if not all of these points are true. The truckers can either roll up their sleeves or find alternate work if they wish to get back to work. No shortage of job openings. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If the vaccine mandate for cross-border truckers was eliminated by Trudeau, none of those unvaccinated Canadian truckers could return to work. American law prevents them from entering the U.S.A. 2 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Don't be so angry. These politicians have divided Canadians. If you don't support freedom of choice, I'll accept that. I seriously doubt anyone would change their mind anyways. I was hoping to just get a memo of understanding. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've driven by the graves for decades and never knew the real story. The elected official lead of our country still won't admit to this. You are making fun of this, which isn't really helping. After making it at not so national holiday, Trudeau still went to Tofino instead of reconciliation. One more reason for the protests. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Coda Posted January 30, 2022 Share Posted January 30, 2022 The "Freedom Convoy 2022 Support" group is getting quite large: 461,000 members. A lot of support from the United States and Australia especially. In 20 or 30 years someone might be doing their phd on its analysis. https://www.facebook.com/groups/356934086259420/ 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Trying to claim that this protest has anything to do with indigenous rights is disingenuous and extremely distasteful. The politics behind this protest are the antithesis of indigenous rights. 5 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm not looking for a battle, but I spent 17 years there. Maybe @Warhippydoesn't trust me, for reasons I don't understand. The Trudeau Tofino trip really busted me though. Trudeau went surfing in Tofino. How can you defend that? Please give me a valid reason with proof and a link. " New September 30 holiday: National Day for Truth and Reconciliation Beginning 2021 a new statutory holiday is held to commemorate the legacy of residential schools fulfilling one of many recommendations made by the Truth and Reconciliation Commission. This is not a public holiday. Only federally regulated workplaces (such as the federal government, banks, post offices, etc.) will be closed in order to observe this new holiday. Indigenous communities originally opposed to using September 30 because that's when Orange Shirt Day is currently observed. Instead, June 21 was considered as the alternate day, which is currently the National Indigenous Peoples Day. This, however, is only ten days away from Canada Day and would make the two stat holidays too close together. As this new holiday for National Day for Truth and Reconciliation is on the last day of September it will have, perhaps unexpected, implications since no other holiday is on the last day of any month. Real estate purchase and sale closing dates could be affected according to the Canadian Real Estate Association and you should be aware that Canada Post, air transportation and banks will be also closed, disrupting public services on September 30." 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Find one post where I defended Trudeau for that or admit that your post was nothing but a strawman. You claim you're not looking for a battle, but you're building a strawman that is incredibly inappropriate.
