    There are lots of them. I don't think those protesters officially highlighted which ones specifically. Although of course some are more egregious than others.

    There are so many you cannot name one?

    That seems like a very effective protest

    You are not aware of any of them?

    Maybe you need to get a new news media then.

    If they cannot identify which mandates they are complaining about.........then what is the purpose of this convoy??

    There are not that many left now..........so their timing is off . and rather meaningless..

    It might be more responsible for them to continue working as things are starting to recover from the pandemic......

    If you ask them, they can give you a long list of several.

    That's sort of true but it has been going on for so long it is well beyond the time when it should have been ended.

    If they did this 6 months ago, people like you would just have said "It is still too early".

    I know several that are state backed meaning Biden would have little say over. The CDC had already relaxed all but the most heavily impacted areas.

    It doesn’t make sense to me which is why I asked to be told I need “a new news media”. Looks like you need one as well — or at least better talking points.

    Edit: Just read an article saying that it has basically turned into another trump cult rally. That is why their demands are so vague. Likely their funding / narrative has been due to the sanctions against Russia.

    Those mandates were in place because of a serious public health problem........ and it it up to the appropriate professionals to decide when i tis time to remove them........

    Protesters d o not decide PUBLIC HEALTH POLICY............... and yes....it has been a long time..........but this virus has been a challenge...........and we have lost a lot of people to it.

    More double standards. I know 100% you'd have a totally different view on this if it were a different type of issue.

    No one is saying they shouldn't protest. They can protest all they want. ......as long as they are not destructive ........as that takes away from any message they might have.

    I would expect: vaccine mandates, mask mandates, and travel restrictions.

    "Its up to appropriate "Professionals" to decide" . and thats that aye mon .. ?!

    Aside from the blazing appeal to authority fallacy inherent in your statement .. the oxymoron on the word "Professionals" .. Professional con artists - is most disturbing .. that you would trust these clowns after the massive amount of lies and false narratives they have been spinning.

    Unfortunately this bleat is all to common .. among the raging masses - the mass propaganda effort was a smashing success. Hip Hip Horray

    This kind of massive popular protest should have happened on day one of these stupid mandates. Our economy was been severely damaged, small businesses have been bankrupted, and our children used as tools against us. It's not enough that the mandates are finally being lifted, our government needs to be punished, bureaucrats need to be in prison.

    They already won to be honest. The left caved on restrictions on lost areas and continue to do so elsewhere.

    Nothing petty or moot about these Covid mandates. It’s a real threat.


    That being said, they have already won the fight against these mandates.

    You’re right. What trump is is a malignant narcissist who is crippled by his eternal obsession with himself. He lacks the temperament and persuasive skills to be a good or even a bad leader. He’s too much of a self absorbed buffoon.

    Agreed, at least 90% of the nation has lifted the mask mandate, and long haul truckers would rarely need them when the mandate was in place. They seem more like attention whores.

    Wearing an item of clothing is a real threat?

    LOL, do you find it threatening to also wear a shirt & shoes in a business?

    If you can’t understand how authoritarianism works that is not my fault.

    Being told to wear an article of clothing isn't authoritarianism. LMAO
