What the hell is the US doing ? What are you going to do, start a war ? Jesus you Americans are damn stupid about foreign policy sometimes. Your the guy who wanted to bomb Iran right ?
Canada doesn't want to rule the world. The US unfortunately doesn't know it's own limitations.
Justin Trudeau Ducks the Great Trucker Revolt
This is not really or just about vaccine mandates. It’s about what they represent: government taking possession of our lives. If they can force you to get an injection in your arm over which you have doubts, all bets for freedom are off. There must be evidence that you complied. The phone app is next, which gets tied to your bank account and your job and your access to communications and your ability to pay your rent or mortgage. It means eventually 100% government control over the whole of life. The technology already exists. Everything going on now with these passports is driving to this point.
This is why the truckers are striking this way. It is an act of bravery but also of desperation. Once the tyranny of health passports arrives, there will be no escape.

There's a reason they drive trucks, it's a good job if you are not so smart. Well used to be, not a career anymore really.

Yet...
+85% of Canadian truckers are fully vaccinated before the vaccine mandates...probably another 5 - 10% after the vaccine mandates so that they can continue crossing the borders of the United States and Canada.
Everybody now requires proof of vaccination for international travel. Why in the hell would truckers be allowed to travel "internationally" across the border...bypassing international vaccine requirements ?
Although a rhetorical question...they will not be allowed nor will anyone else.
More importantly, people outside of Canada need to understand that its one of the few countries that fight back against the far-right and its one of the few countries that has identified the far-right as a terrorist group.
Truckers should have done this convoy protest on their own dime and not allowed themselves to be played like puppets by the far-right.
As for the vast majority of truckers...they see the protesting convoy as a tiny, tiny proportion of drivers being manipulated by the far-right.
The truck convoy to Ottawa was stupid news to me until I read misinformation/disinformation about Indigenous Canadians supporting the Freedom Convoy @ https://www.reuters.com/article/factcheck-indigenous-convoy-idUSL1N2U72WJ
Another misconception (misinformation) that I've seen posted by ET members is the truck convoy from South Carolina to support the Freedom Convoy in Canada. Its false and its a video from last year @ https://www.snopes.com/fact-check/freedom-convoy-canada/
I'm not going to name the ET member, but the music from the above link should tell you which ET member here in the Political section has posted the same music or video link as misinformation in support of the Freedom Convoy...
Overwhelming most Canadian truckers do not support the Freedom Convoy nor do they care about the far-right organizers.

Why are anti-vaccine Canadian truckers converging on Ottawa?
Experts raise concerns about far-right, racist views arising from protest against vaccine mandate for truck drivers.

A convoy of anti-vaccine Canadian truckers and their supporters is making its way to the country’s capital, Ottawa.
The so-called “Freedom Convoy” was formed in response to a vaccine mandate requiring truckers to be fully vaccinated against the coronavirus in order to cross the land border between Canada and the United States.
But during the past week, observers and experts have pointed out that some organizers of the event, as well as some of its most vocal backers, have espoused anti-Semitic, Islamophobic, and racist views – and authorities have cautioned that the rally on Parliament Hill could turn violent.
First, what is the vaccine mandate for truckers?
Starting on January 15, Canada has required essential service providers previously exempt from vaccination requirements, including truck drivers, to be fully vaccinated to cross the land border from the US. “Unvaccinated Canadian truck drivers entering Canada will need to meet requirements for pre-entry, arrival and Day 8 testing, as well as quarantine requirements,” it said.
The US has also imposed a similar requirement on its side of the border; as of January 22, non-citizens travelling to the US for both essential and non-essential reasons need to show proof of vaccination at land border crossings.
How many Canadian truckers are unvaccinated?
The Canadian Trucking Alliance (CTA), a federation of provincial trucking associations, has said a “vast majority” of Canadian truckers are vaccinated – approximately 85 percent – in line with vaccination rates among the general Canadian population.
Almost 90 percent of Canadian truckers are vaccinated, Transport Minister Omar Alghabra said.
The CTA has distanced itself from the convoy, saying it “does not support and strongly disapproves of any protests on public roadways, highways, and bridges”.
How many people are participating in the convoy?
That is unclear. Police in Kingston, Ontario, said that as of 9:35am local time (14:35 GMT) on Friday, 17 full tractor-trailers, 104 tractors with no trailers, 424 passenger vehicles and six recreational vehicles were heading eastbound on the 401 highway. Others are believed to be arriving in Ottawa from eastern Canada.
What do organizers say the convoy is about?
The convoy is organized under the banner, “Freedom Convoy 2022”.
“On January 15th, a small team of Alberta truckers, their family members and friends, came to the decision that the Government of Canada has crossed a line with implementing Covid-19 vaccine passports and vaccine mandates,” the group said in a statement shared on Facebook.
“We are taking our fight to the doorsteps of our Federal Government and demanding that they cease all mandates against its people,” reads a GoFundMe page in support of the convoy, which has raised approximately $5.5m (over $7m Canadian) to date.
CBC News reported on Friday that at least one-third of those donations came from anonymous donors or were attributed to fake names.

The United States will not go to War about the bullshit between Russia / Ukraine until the Republicans win the White House in 2024.
Until then, the Democrats will have to play poker (bluff a lot) with the Russians while protecting our internet infrastructure against the Russians.
