As many as 50,000 truckers may arrive in total for this weekend’s massive protest in Ottawa, Canada against mandates, vaccine passports, lockdowns, and the general rule of covid tyranny in the country.
The convoy was precipitated directly by a vaccination and testing mandate at the border between the U.S. and Canada.
The Daily Mail writes:
A huge convoy of up to 50,000 Canadian truck drivers arrived in Ottawa on Friday night ahead of a planned protest this weekend against vaccine mandates for drivers.
Since January 15, all Canadian truck drivers who are unvaccinated must take a COVID-19 test and quarantine when driving back from the United States.
They are not allowed into the U.S. unless they are vaccinated, and American drivers are not allowed into Canada unless they show their certificate.
They add that “As many as 32,000, or 20 percent, of the 160,000 Canadian and American cross-border truck drivers may be taken off the roads due to the mandate, the Canadian Trucking Alliance (CTA) estimates. ”

People were chanting “Liberté!” (which is freedom in French). There were a lot of Quebecers out to support the #FreedomConvoy2022 in Ottawa today. The people of Quebec have been subjected to some of the hardest government restrictions in the world, and they’ve had enough! pic.twitter.com/6ThVW99W6B

This reflects something we’ve seen in many parts of the world, which is regular people throwing off the shackles of covid tyranny, but we don’t see it enough in the United States.
Yet.
