Freedom Convoy 2022: thousands of trucks take to Canada’s highways against Mandatory Vax

Truckers for Freedom — thousands of trucks are headed for Ottawa

The TruckersforFreedom are starting in Vancouver today and tens of thousands of trucks will converge on Ottawa on Jan 29th in a bid to stop the mandates. A GoFundMe has already raised more than two million dollars to help cover the costs to drive the big rigs across the country. Some US truckers are driving up to join in. And they are jubilant!

See also #TruckersforFreedom

The governments of Canada and the USA have made it a requirement that truck drivers must be vaccinated to cross the border. The Canadian ruling started on Jan 15th. The US will follow.

Crowds are waiting for the Convoy on overpasses and beside the roads.

Canada Truckers protest

….

Truck Protests Can Stop A Nation

Our experience with the Convoy of No Confidence of in Australia in 2011, against the carbon tax, was that the establishment is very afraid of this sort of protest. Truckers really can shut down a nation, and the images of thousands of trucks storming across the countryside will pull in people as they see it pass. It’s a powerful image. In 2011 whole towns turned out to wave and cheer and offer free food. Vehicles would join on for hundreds of kilometers.

But these protests strike fear in the heart of the Establishment.  A giant political PR machine is almost certainly swinging into gear to minimize everything about it. The media will downplay it, and hide it, as if people spending thousands of dollars and two weeks of their time is no big deal. They will say it was “smaller than expected” or is “shrinking” (no matter how big it is). I hope the Truckers for Freedom have a team to count all the trucks, and film everything. They need to use every kind of social media they are “permitted” to.

Flymaster comments that CBC is reporting on the Truck Convoys but the storyline is “Truckers protesting bad highway conditions in BC”

The Toronto departure date has been moved forward a day because there are so many trucks.

 

Make no mistake, we have to share the message with the world. Someone has to make sure the organisers know what is coming and how dirty underhanded tricks will be used at the last minute to separate the convoy or slow it down, or prevent it reaching the most important, symbolic or ideal photoshoots.

In Australia, the Truckers went to great lengths to coordinate with the Federal police, to get permits, and make sure they didn’t put people out, and it was used against them. At the last minute on the day the trucks were supposed to drive in laps around Parliament House they turned up to find the inner road blocked by police, and were diverted to an outer one.

This was what happened in Canberra Australia in 2011 after trucks had arrived from all over the continent:

The Convoy organizers staged their entry so carefully, coordinating it with the Federal Police. They meticulously planned everything so as not to put out the average Canberran, even starting at 5.30am so as to avoid the peak hour traffic. They were scrupulously considerate. (Perhaps too much so.)

In the end, the fact that they were so well organized  and polite was used against them. The pro-government forces hyped up the anger against the out-of-towners with threats that “it would cause major traffic delays” and “bring Canberra to a standstill”. But when the protest didn’t cause any of the promised disruption, instead of admitting they were wrong, and apologizing, they pretended that the lack of traffic problems shows the Convoy was a fizzer. Spin spin spin. It’s too easy, isn’t it? If the Convoy had slowed up the traffic, it would be called a nuisance.

How do you portray the grassroots movement of cattlemen, miners, truck-drivers, business-people and farmers as being unrepresentative? Just call them all “truckies”.

Meanwhile,  the health workers in London are kicking up a storm

The UK is ending all mandates except for the requirement for health workers to get vaccinated, and that’s being stridently opposed. As many as 70,0000 health workers are not vaccinated and may face being sacked on April 1:

London chaos: Huge protest hits capital as fury erupts at NHS Covid vaccine mandate

Express.co

PROTESTORS in central London have sparked chaos as hundreds gathered to call for an end to the Government’s vaccine mandate as NHS 70,000 workers may lose their job if they keep refusing the jab.

Thousands of protesters flocked to central London to remonstrate against mandatory coronavirus vaccination for NHS staff. Dramatic footage shows protesters dancing to Pink Floyd’s Another Brick in the Wall, suggesting the Government’s measures go too far and encroach on civil liberties. With the new rules coming into effect on April 1, there are serious question marks over what the future holds for up to 70,000 health care workers unless they get jabbed in the next 67 days.



When will the madness end? When we stop it.

Don’t wait for them to take more…

    The pushback from the Truckers in Canada and Health Workers in London is good news.

    It’s very likely that Australia’s leaders, both State and Federal have acted outside of our constitutional boundaries and we need to examine the legal danger they have put themselves in.

    Illegal confinement may be the least of the charges.
    Broken bodies, broken businesses, broken society, a decimated education system, loss of family contact and dodgy behaviour by the elected class. All done, most likely, outside reasonable constitutional authorisation.

    Time to assess and redress.

    My house is near Canada.

    Take it from me. Canada is lost. I would guess that 75% of Canadians would vote to throw all protesting truckers out of the country.

    They would wear triple masks while voting.

    Canada makes California seem bipartisan. I know it’s nasty of me, but I’m hoping very strongly that they end up as very hungry Communists.

      Sorry to hear that. I’m concerned that the mass formation psychosis might have already gone too far to allow events like the Freedom Convoy 2022 and the street protests we’ve seen to have much value. I hope it’s not too late. Only time will tell if such events do make a difference. I hope so. I suppose we will know soon enough whether our governments take notice or they go harder and introduce even more draconian mandates in retaliation to the protests.

        My house is in Canada and what you say is true. Almost everyone I know is vaccinated and boosted, they wear masks whether they need to or not, and they have stopped speaking to me because I am unvaccinated. I’ve known most of them for 40 years.

        It’s weird to see them behave this way. I don’t get it.

      Very sadly I would say that Australia is quite possibly as bad. The majority of the public seem to support irrational government covid policy and the mandates. There are even those who have decided to not take the covid injections that are being ostracised by family members. That the profound ignorance of the general public has lead to indoctrination by medical authoritarians is really scary. When we look back in history to Germany in the Nazi era we are often perplexed as to how the German people could have gone along with all the measures leading ultimately to the Holocaust. Now we know. We’re living it.

    The NHS can’t afford to lose that many trained people and certainly the momentum is that we are fed up with being told what to do by a govt that doesn’t take heed of its own advice so my guess is this vaccine mandate won’t happen especially as the welsh NHS have said they may have jobs for the unvaccinated.

    However let us get to the big story that tens of thousands of selfish truckers are prepared to spew countless tonnes of co2 into the atmosphere and exacerbate the climate crisis/emergency/.chaos/ Armageddon /terror

    They will probably leave a trail of melted snow in their wake.. Irresponsible, eh?

But many are conflicted, because they too love freedom, but can’t tell anyone for fear of being eaten alive by rabid, bottom dwelling, fear mongering, left leaning, earth is ending catastrophists.

    1. Children get mandatory vaccinations for polio, measles and (I think) tetanus. Governments usually turn a blind eye to a very small percentage not getting them because if those children caught those diseases they wouldn’t spread far because other children are vaccinated. The TV program “House” was definitely in favour. A mother said to House that she thought choice was important. House replied “You can have a choice in tiny little coffins too.”

    2. The vaccines are “version 1”. Better vaccines will come along (and probably be from other companies because Pfizer and Moderna are making a fortune with repeated doses of the same vaccines.) There was an urgent need for vaccines and these “version 1” products were developed in about six months when other vaccines have taken years to develop.

    3. Never have so many people been vaccinated, let alone in such a short space of time. A very small percentage of people have adverse reactions to vaccines, no matter what the vaccine is for. That small percentage becomes a large number of people when billions of people are being vaccinated. (E.g. 2 cases in a million is 2,000 in a billion.)

      It seems to me that the “anti-vaccination” people supposedly terrifying the populace, are mostly people wondering why they should trust a vaccine developed so rapidly. I’ve had many a vaccination, and I imagine I could well have died without them too, but I still do not see why this virus is of such concern that a vaccine can avoid rigorous testing, and actively penalise people for wondering if it really is safe.

      People are also beginning to realise that penalties and restrictions are not applied equally, and are at best, contradictory. Look at France, for example, now anyone wanting to go to a cafe, cinema, museum, or large shopping complex can be asked (by “managers” working at said establishments) to provide ID as well as a vaccination certificate.

      However, if you happen to be involved with, or planning to attend any political events in the lead up to the April elections, you do not need to show any sort of paperwork to anyone, because it might impinge on peoples freedom to share views and opinions.

      Not buying the line of “rare side effects” I personally know 5 people who ended up with pery/myocarditis and that I know of none were registered as adverse events. Another had chest and arm pain so severe that she had to take morphine for 10 days. I have also spoken to several nurses who have confirmed that adverse events are being massively underreported.

      John,

      The Notion that the “vaccines” actually work has been has been disproven. They are a spectacular failure at preventing infection or stopping transmission. The real danger comes from multiple booster injections at ever decreasing intervals.

      The destruction of the immune system will make it easier for other more serious maladies to infect and kill multiple injected individuals. I suspect the the drug companies knew this from the start.

      “The vaccines are “version 1”. Better vaccines will come along ”
      They’re not vaccines, they are an untested RNA genetic experiment. They may never be viable as a vaccine, they do entirely the wrong things.

      This is a pandemic of the PCR test, for without that we would just have a ‘bad flu’ year, a lot of old people would die, and life would go on as usual for the other 99.9%.

      The human race survived many pandemics over the centuries and never died out, they came and went without vaccines. Vaccines are not vital, and certainly shouldn’t be mandatory. Just another way of poisoning ourselves.

      This year will tell. You should read more on this site to learn what to look for as Govts slide away from their fear-mongering and go into damage control. This morning our local paper has an article about the Health Board changing the way they report covid numbers, but instead of being in their ‘free Covid articles’ this one is behind a paywall. There will be endless propaganda.

        Now we have major immunologists and doctors saying things arent right, and something sinister is going on.

        People are being red-pilled everywhere and the Elite i think in response are starting a stoush in Ukraine to try and wrest control back by using a different set of emergency powers.

      And just that is the main problem. There are treatments to fight from the first day of synptoms against that virus, there was no need for any vaxx with no longer tests as vaccines in general need for safe and effective development.

      hmm 2 in a million would be no problem, but ignoring the long term side effect, which will be many, there are far more deaths and injury from this one so called vaccine than than that. eg –

      https://www.coronaheadsup.com/coronavirus/norway-248-deaths-and-nearly-52000-reports-of-other-covid-vaccine-side-effects/

      “From a population of just 5.3 million people, Norway has reported a total of 248 deaths as suspected side effects after a Covid vaccine, according to the latest Adverse Reaction Report from the Norwegian Medicines Agency, published on Thursday, 20th January.

      The reported deaths are distributed as follows: 227 after the Pfizer vaccine, 15 after Moderna and six after the AstraZeneca vaccine.

      The Norwegian Medicines Agency has also received 51,985 reports of suspected side effects. Of these, 26,413 messages have been processed. 4766 are classified as serious and 21,647 are classified as not serious. This means that 18 per cent of the messages that have been processed are classified as serious.”

      the number is some 15% of ALL covid deaths in the country. what will it end up at, and what long term damage has been done? nobody knows, not even the company that made the stuff. trust in these drugs is not warranted.

      Incredibly naive. We have no clue what the long term effects are as there has been no long term testing.

      Dave in the States

      Using polio vaccination is a faulty analogy, in my opinion. We have already crossed the point of if the mRNA covid vaccines stop or reduce the spread of infection. They don’t. Nor do they reduce hospitalizations. Nor do they prevent vaccinated people from being contagious. They have not created herd immunity even among highly vaxxed populations. They are not stopping new variants. The alpha version of the disease was the most lethal among some segments of populations but there were no vaccines yet available, and the subsequent variants are less lethal, with omnicron being rather mild. In total they are not that effective or that needed among most segments of populations. And are probably not safe, especially the boosters. The very idea of “if everybody else isn’t vaxxed, and boosted, my vax is not effective,” tells us they are not very effective in the first place. If they are so effective then why boosters after only a short time period? I was vaxxed against polio decades ago and have not required any boosters.

      They way I look at it, they are probably most useful for reducing the severity of the disease among high risk groups such as the elderly or those with pre-existing maladies, during a period of when the spread is prevalent. Some people think I’m old, but I got it and had no symptoms. My dad in 90’s had it and survived and he was vaxxed. Did being vaxxed save his life? Perhaps, maybe even likely. But we also had access to proven anti-virals. My niece who is 17 and unvaxxed had it last week and had very mild symptoms. She now has natural immunity without risking the known side effects of the vaccine. To force her to be vaxxed now is an absurdity. Forcing Children, who are hardly affected in over 99% of cases, to be vaxxed is bordering on a crime. Should I who now has natural immunity be required to be jabbed in order to travel or enter a restaurant or grocery store? Or attend a concert? Or to attend a sporting event? That’s ridiculous. We need to stop acting like covid is Ebola. Covid for most is not a devastating disease like polio. Polio has devastating effects. Except in some high risk group cases, covid is usually not lethal and usually has no lasting effects, although the vaccines might.

        Six weeks from now the mRNA vaccines will be back updated “with the Omicron spike”. All data showing how ineffective they are will thus be neutralized in a flash of hope. The data warning us that something is wrong with the vehicle for the vax may still be a problem.

        I will not be surprised if they bounce back with repeat demands to vax people as soon as the new one is out.

        Especially if there is a long term vulnerability to people who are vaccinated, they may be extra keen (desperate) to keep helping their vaccinee’s to keep them out of danger. Whether repeat mRNA vaxes do that — we won’t know.

        Quite possible , this ‘Cult of the Medics’ (H/T to the Off Guardian) is targeting the children as did Jim Jones.

        The compound’s “nurses” brought out Flavor Aid (not Kool-Aid as the saying goes), which was mixed with cyanide and valium and began force-feeding to any children who didn’t drink it willingly. Jones hoped that once the adults of the compound watched their children pass away that they’d have nothing to live for.

      Indeed. We just hope it leads to the great awakening we freedom loving people have been waiting for, not s turn for the worse where governments stomp harder on us with even more draconian mandates to quell the protesters. I look forward with much anticipation that we will win our fight for our freedoms. If it fails then we have a much darker storm to live through thanks to even more government overreach. The ball is now in their court. We will see what happens next very soon.

      Trust is one thing but compliance is another. At the moment the vast majority are complying with all of the draconian mandates. How long that will last though is the key question. The sooner we all stop complying the better.

    In Venezuela, protestors are in the streets resisting socialism.

    In America (and in much of the West), protestors are in the streets demanding socialism.

    (With some notable exceptions such as the truckers as described above and the pro-freedom rallies in Australia.)

    Apparently, the UK, like the US, has a freedom of information law, and new covid counts have been made public.
    Curious (sarc), that like Australia, the average age of death from covid is higher than the average life expectancy.

      UAP has the membership, the candidates and the finance necessary to contest the forth coming election.
      The manifesto as displayed on the party tee shirt is:
      “You can’t trust the Liberals, Labor and the Greens ever again
      Freedom
      Freedom
      Freedom”

      This becoming familiar, due to the bill boards which have been displayed over the whole country for months now.

    I think Newtons third law is coming into play – every action creates an opposite reaction . The “reaction” is building and when it gets triggered things will probably get very nasty. If the truckers stop working everything will grind to a halt very quickly . Consequences : no fuel, no food , no deliveries . The supply chain is already under pressure . You thought a lack of toilet paper was bad….

      So… 160K vaxed & infected, 780 unvaxed, population of NSW 8million, 92% vaxed, so 640K unvaxed & 7,360K vaxed.

      Using Pfizer’s method of finding vax effectiveness,

      take unvaxed sick as a % of total unvaxed, 780×100/640,000, 0.12% of the unvaxed are sick.

      take vaxed sick as a % of total vaxed, 160kx100/7,360k, 2.2%.

      Pfizer then subtracted the %vaxed from the %unvaxed, 0.12-2.2= -2.08, and made that a % of the unvaxed who were sick. So -2.08×100/0.12 = -1733% effective.

      Pfizer had two groups of 21800 people, the unvaxed got 162 infected, the vaxed had 8.

      The unvaxed got sick at 0.74%, the vaxed at 0.04%. They did the 0.74-0.04=0.70, and then 0.70×100/0.74 gave them 95% effectiveness.

      I don’t know enough statistics to say if Pfizer’s method is a good one, but that’s what they did to get a 95% effectiveness when submitting it to the CDC. Things have changed…

    Good to see the action in Canada and in the UK. But here we have Mad McGowan and Gunnar in NT with attacks on the unvaxxed that are completely without foundation, and other states with their own versions of this. We have nationally health care workers similarly completely wrongly removed from service.

    Its clear from round the world that the vaxxed are the superspreaders here and that in a proper risk assessment that one would never ever exclude the unvaxxed. And now that the vaxxes are shown to promote infection the action is to push for more of them???? But complete silence from bureaucrats and politicians over this debacle and the press will not even properly cover record breaking protests that have occurred.

    Australia is in serious trouble here, and its highly likely there will be catastrophic health impacts long term to the vaxxed . The complete inability for our so called leaders to actually care about peoples health is very troubling and whilst I don’t want to see large health issues, in a way maybe that may wake people up long term that misplaced trust in our govts, and reckless pushing of procedures for which we have zero idea of long term safety, and clearly many negative impacts short term is something that was never ever justified and that those responsible must be held to account.

      I presume “those responsible must be help to account” includes health officials and government leaders arrested, charged, found guilty of a number of crimes and put behind bars for the rest of their lives. Unfortunately, I can’t see that ever happening. I wish to be proven wrong.

        I believe the scale of what is going to happen in the next 2 years and more will be such that it will be impossible to ignore, and impossible for the perpetrators to blame the unvaxxed or anti vaxxers (two of their favourite false scapegoats), and escape justice.

        Dr Bhakdi, Dr Ryan Cole, Dr Hoffe and others have clearly outlined the longer term health issues related to the vaxxes – we can continue to put our heads in the sand and hope for the best or take constructive steps to end the jabbing and hopefully contain some of the damage.

        Of course that is going to be difficult given the ongoing effort to pressure people to boost when its going to do absolutely nothing other than provoke a covid surge in WA which will be a world record, eclipsing Israel when a state with zero immunity and degraded immune systems courtesy of excessive vaxxing come together. McGowans ridiculous plan will create this huge surge and the size and speed will severely tax the WA Health systems, which he has done nothing to build up in the meantime.

          ‘this ends when we end it”.

          Every week I spend six hours face to face with others who are apprehensive, distressed, unhappy, worn down or at their wits end with the current Government Imposed drama.

          The common thread seems to be that we meet to look at the possibility of bringing rationality to government behaviour, but primarily it’s about supporting each other through this unbelievable event.

          The thing that rises for me is that idea that;

          ‘this ends when we end it’

          We all need to phone, email or visit our local state and federal parliamentary representatives.

    WA’s Premier MCGowan (or some of his minions) use FaceBook to communicate Covid-19 matters to the WA public.

    5 days ago I started posting a daily update of Australia’s Covid status.
    They are the same numbers reported by covid19data site each day.

    These posts have been getting good following/appreciation is it presents the numbers without the fear and hype presented by the Australian media – especially pour own ABC and SBS.

    Two days ago – after McGowan’s press conference extending the WA border closure I added the last line that you can see below.
    My posts are now hidden to other readers of McGowan’s postings.
    I’m not a big fan of censorship.

    Update on Covid-19 in Australia for 22 Jan 2022.

    Although there were an additional 55,100 cases, very pleased to see that there were 90,700 recoveries/adjustments.

    Current active cases: 609,300
    99.13% of active cases were NOT hospitalised (5,300 were).
    99.93% of active cases were NOT in ICU (417 were)
    99.98% of cases did NOT need a ventilator (133 did).

    Of the 1,293,400 Covid cases in Australia from 1st-22nd January, thankfully 99.94% have NOT died (sadly 812 Aussies have).

    Thankfully, it appears that cases peaked on 14 January 2022.

    I’m not a CBC defender specifically, but regarding the image in the blog “CBCNews is so full of sh…” for reporting that truckers are protesting Highway conditions.

    That CBC article is actually correct. There is a truck protest about the Highways.

    The article even mentions that it’s a different protest to the Truck protest about vaccine mandates and links to the freedom protest. So CBC wasn’t actually trying to pretend the truck freedom protest was a highway protest.

    https://apnews.com/article/voting-rights-kyrsten-sinema-phoenix-arizona-voting-af9409b7dbab996a1a8df329c053fce0

    Sinema supports the Democrats’ voting rights legislation but steadfastly opposes passing it by changing or eliminating the Senate’s filibuster rule, which effectively requires 60 of 100 votes to pass most legislation. On Wednesday night, she joined Manchin and all Republicans to oppose a one-time rule change so the bill could pass with a simple majority.

    Laphonza Butler, president of Emily’s List, an important fundraising group for Democratic women who support abortion rights, said in a statement that Sinema’s vote “means she will find herself standing alone in the next election.” She said the group would not endorse her reelection if she doesn’t support a path forward for voting rights legislation.

    Donors are threatening to walk away. Several groups are already collecting money for an eventual primary challenge, even though she’s not on the ballot until 2024. Young activists are holding a second hunger strike to draw attention to Sinema’s vote.

    “When one party need only negotiate with itself, policy will inextricably be pushed from the middle towards the extremes,” she said in a floor speech last week, her most expansive explanation of her views on the issue.

    https://edition.cnn.com/2022/01/22/politics/sinema-censured-arizona-democratic-party/index.html

    ‘Sinema and Sen. Joe Manchin of West Virginia, both centrists, were the only two Democrats on Wednesday to join all Republicans in voting to maintain the Senate’s 60-vote threshold to overcome a filibuster on legislation. Democrats had sought to change the Senate rules, so they could pass voting rights legislation with just 51 votes.
    “While we take no pleasure in this announcement, the ADP Executive Board has decided to formally censure Senator Sinema as a result of her failure to do whatever it takes to ensure the health of our democracy,” Arizona Democratic Party Chair Raquel Terán said in a statement, following a meeting of the executive board Saturday morning.

    If the numbers skew towards a majority of males, start thinking; BIOWEAPON, especially if there is a “lump” in the 15-45 YO male group.

    A significant cull of military AND “marriageable”-age men would be spectacularly significant.

    Only Anti-Vax Mandates Can Explain Death of 74-Year-Old Rock Star w/History of Obesity, Drugs, and Severe Injuries

    Speaking of.

    Meat Loaf was anti-vaccine mandate, reportedly seriously ill with COVID before death – New York Post

    “Reportedly”

    We are talking here about a 74-year-old rock star with a history of obesity and a cocaine habit. We’re talking about this guy.

    In a 2016 Telegraph interview, Meat Loaf likened himself to a “cat with 48 lives.” The singer explained, “I’ve fallen three stories” and had so many “near misses” and collisions that “I should have died.” In 2013, he told Ultimate Classic Rock he suffered 18 concussions, survived eight car crashes, and had close calls on planes.

    Meat’s wildest anecdote alleged that in high school, a shot put champion launched a 12-pound shot 62 feet and hit him in the head, denting his skull.

    Per Rolling Stone, in 2003, he underwent heart surgery after collapsing mid-concert. He was reportedly diagnosed with Wolff-Parkinson-White Syndrome, which creates “an extra electrical pathway in the heart.” In 2016, he collapsed on stage in Canada, and in 2019, he broke his collarbone after tripping and falling during a Q&A.

    I don’t know what Meat Loaf died of and I doubt the New York Post does either. But he lived a very full life and it’s quite surprising he made it this far.

    Making his death about his position on vaccine mandates is the kind of dishonest COVID culture war narrative spin that is a prime reason why so many people loathe and distrust the media and the culture war it obsessively cultivates that has not and will not convince a single person to get vaccinated, but exists solely to make a certain type of unpleasant person feel superior to other people.
