    Totally makes sense. Looks like they also raised a ton of money from the American far right as well.

    If they had a “legitimate gripe” why then are over 90% of all trucker drivers vaccinated in Canada?

    And none of this has anything to do with last summer’s protests in America nor BLM, that’s a deflection off of the question. If Canadians, Canadian truckers, American truckers, American workers, few anywhere support these truckers, who does?

    They are making the decision, with all rights comes responsibilities and consequences, and no one said to get rid of any truckers

    And if the mandates are “worthless” why is it over ninety percent of all Canadian truckers had no problem getting vaccinated, seems they disagree with you and those blocking traffic

    Alaska truckers form convoy to support Canadian protests

    ANCHORAGE, ALASKA -- “Alaska truck drivers have rallied in support of their counterparts in Canada who oppose COVID-19 vaccine mandates with a convoy.”

    “More than 100 truck drivers on Sunday drove the 10 miles (16 kilometres) from Anchorage to Eagle River to support truckers in Canada who have been protesting vaccine mandates in Ottawa, the Anchorage Daily News reported.“

    Thomas Jefferson said -"When tyranny becomes Law, Rebellion becomes Duty!" I think Canada, with their parliamentary form of government is nearing that precipice. So is Australia and New Zealand. Hopefully there are enough Patriots to turn it around. Trudeau, though he seems a little light in the loafers is a totalitarian stooge!
    Ask yourself...is the mandate accomplishing a thing?

    We have an obligation to resist an oppressive government. Let’s support the truckers, in Canada, in Europe, and here in the U.S. This group of supporters of resistance met today in Albany, NY.

    Good, good, good. Now, let’s see the rest of the world rise up and resist.

    I completely support a country’s right to have criteria for entry.

    Tucker Carlson is pleased the blockade is hurting US businesses. Pathetic.

    Arrest them. Impound their vehicles. Suspend their licenses. Ban them for life from making the crossing again, and give them a thorough cavity search as a deportation gift.

    Just an aide, if you want to include France in those fighting against "an oppressive government" please note that the blockade around Paris this week were against mandated vaccines , not truckers' working conditions. They are quite good across Europe. We appreciate truckers, offer them splendid accommodation at truck stops, pay them well and welcome them wherever they go.
    And also note that demonstrations in France are the usual reaction to whatever takes their fancy.
    Except for some public inconvenience, it is how French democracy often works.
    Democracy in action.
    So sorry but it isn't global insurrection against government oppression.

    This is an unsanctioned grassroots labor protest. Of course the major labor leaders in the industry 'denounce' it ...because they arent in control of it.

    The trucker convoys in Canada and other areas of the world are about mandates as well. I’ve seen nothing to support the idea that they are about working conditions.

    If you are unvaccinated in Canada, then you cannot leave. You are a prisoner in that country for being unvaccinated.

    This post of mine was in response to the declaratory ownership of the protests as being against government
    oppression.
    A little less Paul Revere might be in order.

    I’d like you to watch the video I referenced in my post #36. I agree completely with the woman speaking at the rally in Albany. She spoke eloquently about the 9th, 10th, and 14th Amendments to our Constitution. It is entirely about an oppressive government abusing individual freedom. A very American and necessary criticism of a power hungry, overreaching government. We have a responsibility to resist.

    Shouldn't a restriction apply to both borders and all who cross them?
