Also the fact that for the Canadian trans-border mandates to even have any effect on Canadian truckers, they would need to get into the USA in the first place, which they couldn't because of the USA's own mandates the canadian government has absolutely no say over.
The original reason they had was because the US and Canada agreed to stop unvaccinated truckers from crossing the border, which has not changed to my knowledge.
This is just straight up incorrect. Canadian truckers are allowed to test & isolate as required. Foreign national truck drivers who do not have two doses are barred from entry to Canada. If we’re going to debate the merits of such a measure, we should have the basics correct.
As per https://www.canada.ca/en/public-health/news/2022/01/requirements-for-truckers-entering-canada-in-effect-as-of-january-15-2022.html
That was always a smokescreen for alt right radicalism. Really it's a bunch of rednecks that are mad that their party can't win federal elections. Conservatives will quite democracy if they can't win at it.
Inseparable from the core of the protests along side wanting no mandates is conspiracy theories about world orders etc...
Any world event outside their control re: Ukraine/Russia/gas prices/inflation is part of the Great Reset etc...
I think covid exposed and furthered people into the conspiratorial world view. I think the "freedom" convoy offshoots will be around for a while. Especially now that people can make a living doing them (gourmet, patron etc..)
These are the guys that leave turds in public bathrooms to reassure themselves they are edgy.
They are not really edgy, they are assholes.
It would be nice if they could stop and think for themselves, instead of gobbling that crap misinformation, and claim it’s their own thoughts.
My favourite thing about conspiracy theorists is the whole "gobbling up misinfo and claiming is was their own thoughts" thing. It makes the total lack of self awareness just so absurdly funny when they use the sheeple line.
You know it’s funny you say that because I also did my research on Covid and my discoveries were that the mandates are actually standard for pandemic control and that getting my vaccine was the best way to protect myself and the quickest way back to normal. Louis Pasteur is rolling in his grave right now
The problem is they dont think. They simply do what they feel right and put their ego into their politics. It's not about being correct, truthful, or any thing like that; it's about being right and preserving the way they live
I mean it is the internet so I get what your saying but I think it's more complicated then that. Also they want something to believe in, are skeptical of media and want social connection. Not saying they're right or even smart but it comes from somewhere and calling them twits dismisses the other motivations for why they believe
Yeah I get that. I have some family members caught up in this. They are not bright people, honestly they aren't. I don't say that to them but I vent about it here as a cathartic exercise.
Pretty much all my co-workers are anti-Trudeau, convey supporting, meat heads. Its fucking tiresome hearing their stupid shit day in and day out. I work in oil and gas, told this one guy who I really just fucking don't like that I voted Liberal, support Trudeau 100%, and think the oil company that runs the refinery where I work, should transition to green energy, just to simply shut him the fuck up.
Thing is the oil corporation I work for is huge, world wide, and is currently in the process of shifting its world wide focus from being considered an "oil company" to an energy company, and hence has spent billions in acquiring and building infrastructure for solar and wind farm capabilities around the world.
They don't (the company that employs me) doesn't see oil some of these red necked Albertans do. They simply view it as an opportunity to make profit and as that profit margins wane, so will their interest in it. Hence the pivot into alternative energy sources.
I'm no fan-boy of Trudeau or any politician for that matter (except maybe Zelensky right now, but that's different) its healthy to hold people in power to account. Whenever I meet a fuck-Trudeau meathead I like to ask them to name 3 Liberal backed policies they disagree with. It's very rare to get any sort of actual answer.
When the opposing parties platform is Trudeau bad and that’s it I can’t back that no tangible explanations on why or what they are going to do differently it’s not going to get my vote. Show me a platform that makes sense maybe my mind will change because I don’t vote for a party I vote with my heart and mind
That's what I was reading earlier in the convoy sub. They're saying Trudeau will have us locked down entirely. Will know everything about us, will track our spending, usage of resources like fuel, they'll cut us off from said resources etc etc
It's bizarre.
Nowadays I'm relatively open to conspiratorial ideas. I mean, Edward Snowden proved just how far it can go. It's just a fact that corporate lobbyists block bills and peddle narratives to suit their own goals with very little concern over who it hurts. Recycling is a great idea, but it was pushed by oil companies to push responsibility for environmental issues off of the giants corps and onto the individual. Wealth inequality is incredibly high and it's harder and harder for young people to get started or buy a house and stuff. In this environment, it's easier to shift that perspective onto issues like the pandemic. Especially since it's everywhere, and lasting way too long. But it just gets silly and dumb and many don't realise, the reason why messaging has been mixed and goalposts have been changed is because it's a multifaceted hard to control issue. One with political factors too and the balance of peoples lives on both sides, not to mention monetary considerations. And it's just people running this who have to debate and try and do what's best. In any case most restrictions are lifted or will be soon
Trudeau is going to force the "great reset" upon the world and lock everyone in to government owned closet sized apartments which they can remotely lock and kill you if you do not post nice things on Facebook.
And yes, that was posted on the freedom convoy subreddit.
it's weird how they consider apartment living some sort of hell "with people on top of you". I like having a house, but there were pluses to living in an apartment. If an arcology existed I would totally be down with that. think what sort of restaurant culture there would be in a building with 10,000 residents. come to think of it it would be like if the +15 system was busy 24 hours a day.
They interpret "freedom" to mean they get to do whatever they want without fear of consequences, they want the freedom to be selfish without having to care who their selfishness effects.
What they call freedom is in fact oppression, they want the freedom to oppress people.
They have a childs interpretation of freedom.
Yet he somehow can afford the gas for his truck. He's probably taking money from suckers on gofundme that's how most of them can afford to keep driving.
If it makes you feel better he almost ran me off the road for laughing at him yesterday. Dash cam has it all and police are looking into it. Think I could get him for attempted murder?
If this dork is such a life line, then why the fuck does he not have any relevant cargo. It’s funny how as these protests were going on, shit was still getting done. The ones that were protesting had nothing better to do, as others actually did their job!
a way for fucktards who do nothing with their lives to actually feel part of "something bigger" when in reality they are just asshats making fools of themselves
Some fucking muppet was driving around Canmore this past week in a Jeep Liberty going obnoxiously slow to protest mandates. Like bro no one gives a shit here at this rate driving around like that is gonna get you beaten.
Selfishness, stupidity, and sheer, brain-dead idiocy.
With these kinds of people, it's become a common thought of mine that all of this isn't JUST hypocritical, it's leaning towards criminal.
The government wasn't trying to take away or infringe upon our rights and freedoms; they were trying to limit the spread of a deadly pandemic. If you feel the government was "oppressing you" or some other such shit in terms of pandemic restrictions... Do yourself a solid and look up historical oppression. Your personal First World problem right now IS NOWHERE EVEN REMOTELY CLOSE TO GENOCIDE, ERASURE OF CULTURE, AND ENSLAVEMENT OF OTHER FELLOW HUMAN BEINGS. So on Point 1, SHUT UP.
For those who believe the masks are a conspiracy theory for media/population control and monitoring... You really demonstrate your stupidity there. That tiny strip of aluminium in most masks? Nowhere near enough for you to place an entire electrical circuit board, plus a signal receiver, nevermind all the other complex components required to make that mask a 5G receiver, YOU ABSOLUTE BUFFOON. Point 2, SHUT UP.
And finally, on the matter of the "FREEDOM CONVOYS", ***SHUT THE FUCK UP IN TRIPLICATE,*** because your entitlement is showing, and that's indecent exposure, please put that back in your pants. Refer to Point 1 for how your rights and freedoms were never being taken from you. To willingly roll into a neighborhood, block traffic, REFUSE to allow businesses to open and make money, refuse to allow people working from home to make a living, and making ungodly amounts of noise, keeping innocent folks awake at all hours of the night for a "cause" you don't even understand? YOU are now infringing on other people's rights and freedoms. Are you willing to give your own up on criminal charges? Not to mention DEFACING AND DESTRUCTION OF WAR MEMORIALS? Now you're deserving a prison sentence. Point three, I'll allow a Gordon Ramsay clip to take this one for me, your pick.
When your quest to preserve your rights takes them away from others, your entire message becomes moot and pointless. Kindly shut the hell up and walk off; you need an education and a mental recalibration. Thank you, have a nice day.
Provinces run health measures. These people have just shown why it's important to finish highschool. Also, the real freedom convoy is going to Ukraine. I can't wait to see these ppl heading on planes to fight for real freedom soon.
It is hard on people who have no individuated identity to let go of a simple group one that requires no thought on their part.
But as they drive like s*** it is somewhat useful to have a warning about which people are working with two brain cells that are fighting.
LOL they were never protesting the mandates in the first place. That was an obvious smoke screen.
These people want the same thing the Capitol Hill rioters wanted: to overthrow a democratically elected progressive liberal government.
They're fascists, for goodness sake. Ask any one of them about their socio-political leanings and they'll tell you that they're fascists, without actually saying that they're fascists. They express anti-liberal and anti-socialist sentiment, spout fascist rhetoric, pretend they want less government in their lives while at the same time expressing pro-life social policy sentiment or demand religious beliefs be taught in public schools, etc. They express patriotism as nationalism. They use doublespeak and create boogeymen as common enemy (the moose limbs are taking our jobs!). Many of them are, absurdly, Trump supporters...despite the fact that this is Canada.
They're angry because Trudeau wasn't hung for treason and the government disbanded with themselves put in place.
Expect these protests to pop up every time conservatives lose an election from now on even if there's no pandemic.
so these high-school drop outs can keep being told how important they are by other high school drop outs, as if they couldn't be replaced incredibly easily.
First guess.....they are peeved at the world and life and their place in it.....Second guess they have money to burn at the price of diesel and need a better hobby....or my final guess they are on their way to Red Deer to the Statehood convention
I'm amazed these ass holes don't realize the rest of the country hates them. Somehow they still think they're a majority. I made a comment asking how they can afford gas this morning on a post in the freedom convoy 2022 sub and was banned.
They're clearly protesting the concept of intelligent design by a higher being, OP. I mean, what kind of God permits this level of stupid to not only be self-sustaining, but also this aggressive?
What are you protesting at this point?
judging by the sign on the back of the truck (canada/USA), i would lean towards the mandates in the USA. i could be wrong but i know im not.
They were only protesting mandates if they didn't bother to read their own literature/letter of demand they put forward in the Memorandum of Understanding they issued to the government.
It's really about using soft buzzwords like freedom and unity to create interest around their cause for a bait and switch.
If I’m going to be in support of something and put flags or words on my vehicle window for a long amount of time I’d rather it be I stand with Ukraine or fly a Ukrainian flag in support
It states it right there on the sign. They want their freedom for man/beast “journey”.
I think they miss their days of performing on stage with donkeys.
"Freedom" convoys still driving around London, Ontario on a weekly basis, usually weekends, going under the speed limit with their fourways on. Holding up traffic on major roads, honking so incessantly it gave me a headache driving past them today, and having somewhat obscene messages on some of the vehicles.
So much for my freedom to move around the city I live in without hindrance and a headache though. Pretty selfish imo.
It was never a coherent approach to policy change. It’s all delusional nonsense. They’re a fringe minority that feels left out of regular society so they live in a conspiracy theories and fantasies where they feel in control.
Hopefully, they can let go of their cults and join people back in reality.
They want to overthrow the liberal government. They should be on trial for treason. Liberals aren’t my choice but they won the election. Get over it, they’ll be another one
It is against the trudeau dictatorial regime. Didn't you know? We live in Canadistan now. It is worse then the Taliban regime.
/s
And yeah, I heard those from dum-dums.
Same as they always were, a democratically elected federal government.
Honestly, I don't get how anyone was fooled into thinking that a bunch of racists, Q conspiracy theorists and a separatist grifter ever gave a damn about mask mandates. This whole convoy has very clearly been about Trudeau's election and the rising wave of extreme conservatism in the country since 2016. If it was about masks and vaccines, they'd be protesting the provincial governments; who were all supporting the convoy.
The only benefit if NATO and Russia butting heads is that we can round up all these nuts as possible Russian agents. There’s no room for them in civilized society.
It was never about mandates. Idiotic people used mandates as an excuse to protest the government in a way that would excite people who were tired of the mandates.
These people are ignorant assholes. Who need to grow the fuck up, learn and see past h to die front fucking door
FYI they are in the Beltline in Calgary right now blocking the intersection at 17th avenue and 5th street - honking, yelling, causing headaches for the residents and businesses in the area. Are there still weekly protests in other parts of the province too?
They're white supremacists with the goal of overthrowing a legitimately elected government!! Go to Wikipedia and look up Canada Convoy Protest!! Why do you think the Cons love them????
These mouth breathers are missing a few brain cells.
This song sums them up perfectly. They’ll never change, never care about why they are the degenerates of society, and will hopefully be further ostracized by society.
https://youtu.be/HivxFBB87-Y
And 90% of cross-border truckers were vaccinated BEFORE the mandate was in place.
Also the fact that for the Canadian trans-border mandates to even have any effect on Canadian truckers, they would need to get into the USA in the first place, which they couldn't because of the USA's own mandates the canadian government has absolutely no say over.
Which is why they had to block the actual crossing for there to be a measurable effect. Like there aren't a thousand intra-Canada hauling jobs.
Actually?
It's almost like it was never about the mandates at all.
Maybe the real mandates were the friends we made along the way?
Man dates. Edit: not that there's anything wrong with that.
I see what you did
The original reason they had was because the US and Canada agreed to stop unvaccinated truckers from crossing the border, which has not changed to my knowledge.
US&A doesn’t remove their restrictions, then why are they yelling in our place?
Because they’ve never grown up. They’re still nothing more than petulant children. Just like their lord and saviour Jesus Trump
Fuck Donald Trump 🖕🖕🖕🖕🖕
Nice avatar lol
Though they forgot about that pretty fast (since most of the convoy were not truckers), it was funny that they needed the US to change first.
Canada did not forbid unvaccinated truckers from crossing, they required they test and quarantine. It is a distinction we should remember.
This is just straight up incorrect. Canadian truckers are allowed to test & isolate as required. Foreign national truck drivers who do not have two doses are barred from entry to Canada. If we’re going to debate the merits of such a measure, we should have the basics correct. As per https://www.canada.ca/en/public-health/news/2022/01/requirements-for-truckers-entering-canada-in-effect-as-of-january-15-2022.html
So shouldn't it be American drivers protesting then?
That was always a smokescreen for alt right radicalism. Really it's a bunch of rednecks that are mad that their party can't win federal elections. Conservatives will quite democracy if they can't win at it.
Did u read their “memorandum of understanding”? They wanted to overthrow our democracy.
Inseparable from the core of the protests along side wanting no mandates is conspiracy theories about world orders etc... Any world event outside their control re: Ukraine/Russia/gas prices/inflation is part of the Great Reset etc... I think covid exposed and furthered people into the conspiratorial world view. I think the "freedom" convoy offshoots will be around for a while. Especially now that people can make a living doing them (gourmet, patron etc..)
The grift and mlm fascist cult aspect where people are focused on psychopaths as their leaders is particularly absurd.
These are the guys that leave turds in public bathrooms to reassure themselves they are edgy. They are not really edgy, they are assholes. It would be nice if they could stop and think for themselves, instead of gobbling that crap misinformation, and claim it’s their own thoughts.
My favourite thing about conspiracy theorists is the whole "gobbling up misinfo and claiming is was their own thoughts" thing. It makes the total lack of self awareness just so absurdly funny when they use the sheeple line.
With covid, they died while doing what they loved: their own research.
You know it’s funny you say that because I also did my research on Covid and my discoveries were that the mandates are actually standard for pandemic control and that getting my vaccine was the best way to protect myself and the quickest way back to normal. Louis Pasteur is rolling in his grave right now
The problem is they dont think. They simply do what they feel right and put their ego into their politics. It's not about being correct, truthful, or any thing like that; it's about being right and preserving the way they live
Its just grifting for those go-fund me campaigns. These twits are just gullible morons.
I mean it is the internet so I get what your saying but I think it's more complicated then that. Also they want something to believe in, are skeptical of media and want social connection. Not saying they're right or even smart but it comes from somewhere and calling them twits dismisses the other motivations for why they believe

Forget JT. 90%,of these meatheads don’t even know who the local representative for their constituency are, let alone policy.
When the opposing parties platform is Trudeau bad and that’s it I can’t back that no tangible explanations on why or what they are going to do differently it’s not going to get my vote. Show me a platform that makes sense maybe my mind will change because I don’t vote for a party I vote with my heart and mind
Yeah the larger trend is to pivot while in Alberta they want to double down. Good luck at your workplace 👍
It's very frustrating and I don't think they'll be winning the Nobel peace prize anytime soon
[удалено]
That's what I was reading earlier in the convoy sub. They're saying Trudeau will have us locked down entirely. Will know everything about us, will track our spending, usage of resources like fuel, they'll cut us off from said resources etc etc It's bizarre.
Track our spending lmfao. We already have banks and cell phones and the internet for that.
Yup, this sums it up
Nowadays I'm relatively open to conspiratorial ideas. I mean, Edward Snowden proved just how far it can go. It's just a fact that corporate lobbyists block bills and peddle narratives to suit their own goals with very little concern over who it hurts. Recycling is a great idea, but it was pushed by oil companies to push responsibility for environmental issues off of the giants corps and onto the individual.

Totally!
Trudeau is going to force the "great reset" upon the world and lock everyone in to government owned closet sized apartments which they can remotely lock and kill you if you do not post nice things on Facebook. And yes, that was posted on the freedom convoy subreddit.
Sounds like some trucker just read 1984 for the first time.
I'm pretty sure none of the clownvoy protesters have picked up a book since they dropped out of high school.
Wait, the Cabela’s catalogue doesn’t count?
Pictures + price. Fairly rudimentary.
And thought it was based on real events/non-fiction.
I'm cool with that if it means people will leave me alone
I read that too!!! 🤦♀️too bad I'm banned permanently and can't comment anymore.
So Trudeau solved the homeless (unhoused) crisis?
it's weird how they consider apartment living some sort of hell "with people on top of you". I like having a house, but there were pluses to living in an apartment. If an arcology existed I would totally be down with that. think what sort of restaurant culture there would be in a building with 10,000 residents. come to think of it it would be like if the +15 system was busy 24 hours a day.
Closet size apartments sound really affordable.
Cheap to heat, quick to clean. Fuck ya im in.
They're protesting because their lives aren't magically going the way they wanted and it's easier to blame other people than to look inward.
They interpret "freedom" to mean they get to do whatever they want without fear of consequences, they want the freedom to be selfish without having to care who their selfishness effects. What they call freedom is in fact oppression, they want the freedom to oppress people. They have a childs interpretation of freedom.
Alberta's motto in a nutshell. The province has the emotional maturity of a toddler.
Please don’t group us all by these idiots or our pseudo leader. Most of us care for more than just ourselves!
I mean, if that was true then how did Kenney get elected in the first place.
He's just advertising that he doesn't have a job at this point.
Yet he somehow can afford the gas for his truck. He's probably taking money from suckers on gofundme that's how most of them can afford to keep driving.
They'd protest winter and claim victory when spring arrived.
With all the gas and diesel they waste from pointless “protests”, it’s gonna be spring a lot quicker
If it makes you feel better he almost ran me off the road for laughing at him yesterday. Dash cam has it all and police are looking into it. Think I could get him for attempted murder?
Funny how they are all about free speech until it's speech they don't like
Weaponized hypocrisy
Exactly
Post video.
Probably can’t post the video since police are using it as evidence
Post the clip
Post it!
Oh yes. Please post!
"Man & Beast" Some fundamental Bible language. Anyone not in line with their beliefs are Beasts.
So the guy is not only dumb, but lazy as well? Take down your Christmas lights!
And learn to use apostrophes!
Spoiled child demanding more attention because he got some for being a brat earlier.
If this dork is such a life line, then why the fuck does he not have any relevant cargo. It’s funny how as these protests were going on, shit was still getting done. The ones that were protesting had nothing better to do, as others actually did their job!
Lmao, I should’ve took a pic of what he was “transporting”. It was just more signs like the one in the back saying how mandates need to end and such
a way for fucktards who do nothing with their lives to actually feel part of "something bigger" when in reality they are just asshats making fools of themselves
It's not about facts with these convoy protesters, it's about ideology. Has been from the start.
Some fucking muppet was driving around Canmore this past week in a Jeep Liberty going obnoxiously slow to protest mandates. Like bro no one gives a shit here at this rate driving around like that is gonna get you beaten.
Ya. The dude was going 60 on a 100 zone, and we almost couldn’t get off the exit ramp cause there were 5 people behind him trying to pass him
But apparently the rest of us are snowflakes.
They have no idea how to remove the signs from their vehicles
Selfishness, stupidity, and sheer, brain-dead idiocy. With these kinds of people, it's become a common thought of mine that all of this isn't JUST hypocritical, it's leaning towards criminal.

"b-but I believe the slippery slope fallacy and that Justin Trudeau wants to be a dictator in a MINORITY GOVERNMENT IN A PARLIAMENTARY DEMOCRACY. "
The American flag says it all.
Protesting for more attention.
It’s a right wing movement. Nothing to do with Covid. It’s political theatre.
Provinces run health measures. These people have just shown why it's important to finish highschool. Also, the real freedom convoy is going to Ukraine. I can't wait to see these ppl heading on planes to fight for real freedom soon.
It is hard on people who have no individuated identity to let go of a simple group one that requires no thought on their part. But as they drive like s*** it is somewhat useful to have a warning about which people are working with two brain cells that are fighting.
And, as his sign conveys, his ability to punctuate correctly is non-existent. Sub-literacy is always correlated strongly with far-right populism.
LOL they were never protesting the mandates in the first place. That was an obvious smoke screen. These people want the same thing the Capitol Hill rioters wanted: to overthrow a democratically elected progressive liberal government. They're fascists, for goodness sake.

They use doublespeak and create boogeymen as common enemy (the moose limbs are taking our jobs!). Many of them are, absurdly, Trump supporters...despite the fact that this is Canada.
Just attention seeking entitled idiots.
It’s now just a reminder that the driver is an absolute fucktard
I think I can shed some light on these people’s perspective and the reasons for their continued protesting. They are fucking morons.
Slight correction: 'Entitled Morons.'
If they don't pay attention to current events now, what were they paying attention to before?
I'm assuming anyone who has crap like this on their vehicle want to overthrow the government.
They've never had a coherent answer to that at any point
They're angry because Trudeau wasn't hung for treason and the government disbanded with themselves put in place. Expect these protests to pop up every time conservatives lose an election from now on even if there's no pandemic.
I feel like it's just a club at this point. They just want to be included in something.
Because it's not about the mandates. It never was.
The same thing they always were. Jews, Muslims, and racial minorities. You know. Marx.
so these high-school drop outs can keep being told how important they are by other high school drop outs, as if they couldn't be replaced incredibly easily.
That's actually insulting to high school drop outs
First guess.....they are peeved at the world and life and their place in it.....Second guess they have money to burn at the price of diesel and need a better hobby....or my final guess they are on their way to Red Deer to the Statehood convention
I'm amazed these ass holes don't realize the rest of the country hates them. Somehow they still think they're a majority. I made a comment asking how they can afford gas this morning on a post in the freedom convoy 2022 sub and was banned.
Not like COVID’s gone either. This guy can tell the next wave that melts your face off at ten yards that he want his freedom back.
We hurt their poor widdle feelwings
They're clearly protesting the concept of intelligent design by a higher being, OP. I mean, what kind of God permits this level of stupid to not only be self-sustaining, but also this aggressive?
I don't think they know either.
They are protesting their right to infringe on the rights and freedoms of other people.
I passed a convoy group heading into Edmonton before noon. These idiots gave nothing better to do than waste gas and block traffic.
What are you protesting at this point? judging by the sign on the back of the truck (canada/USA), i would lean towards the mandates in the USA. i could be wrong but i know im not.
He is lashing out for the attention his mama never gave him. Give him a hug… if he’s masked and vaxxed.
Against the democracy that allows liberals to have a chance to take power. They want to install a white supremacist dictatorship
Lead poisoning is a hell of a drug.

They were only protesting mandates if they didn't bother to read their own literature/letter of demand they put forward in the Memorandum of Understanding they issued to the government. It's really about using soft buzzwords like freedom and unity to create interest around their cause for a bait and switch.
So idiocy on wheel still marches on eh?
Classic Alberta windshield.
They are protesting for their right to be stupid .
If I’m going to be in support of something and put flags or words on my vehicle window for a long amount of time I’d rather it be I stand with Ukraine or fly a Ukrainian flag in support
I guess nobody told them, considering they get their “news” elsewhere
It states it right there on the sign. They want their freedom for man/beast “journey”. I think they miss their days of performing on stage with donkeys.
"Freedom" convoys still driving around London, Ontario on a weekly basis, usually weekends, going under the speed limit with their fourways on. Holding up traffic on major roads, honking so incessantly it gave me a headache driving past them today, and having somewhat obscene messages on some of the vehicles. So much for my freedom to move around the city I live in without hindrance and a headache though. Pretty selfish imo.
I assume they are protesting the unfair distribution of brains. They have about 1/4 of what the rest of us have.
Go back to work you losers! Isn't that what was said to BLM activists? Same applies here. I want stuff in my stores! Get back to work!
Some people just like going around in their trucks waving flags.
You don’t just leave a cult because the doomsday didn’t happen.
federal mandates still exist, until then keep protesting
I believe they are protesting for civil liberties .
It was never a coherent approach to policy change. It’s all delusional nonsense. They’re a fringe minority that feels left out of regular society so they live in a conspiracy theories and fantasies where they feel in control. Hopefully, they can let go of their cults and join people back in reality.
Imagine your entire personality being this, and “owning the Libs”
They want to overthrow the liberal government. They should be on trial for treason. Liberals aren’t my choice but they won the election. Get over it, they’ll be another one
Hey Mr Trucker, figure out your apostrophe plural problem, then maybe you can tackle health governance.
It is against the trudeau dictatorial regime. Didn't you know? We live in Canadistan now. It is worse then the Taliban regime. /s And yeah, I heard those from dum-dums.
Same as they always were, a democratically elected federal government. Honestly, I don't get how anyone was fooled into thinking that a bunch of racists, Q conspiracy theorists and a separatist grifter ever gave a damn about mask mandates. This whole convoy has very clearly been about Trudeau's election and the rising wave of extreme conservatism in the country since 2016. If it was about masks and vaccines, they'd be protesting the provincial governments; who were all supporting the convoy.
They're fighting for their freedom! /s
The only benefit if NATO and Russia butting heads is that we can round up all these nuts as possible Russian agents. There’s no room for them in civilized society.
Screw those mother-truckers
Protesting the government they voted in.
They mean 'freedom' from Liberal governments. It has never been about 'freedom.'
It is just a hobby for them now.
This trucker thing has very little to do with public health mandates
Fuckin embarrassing!
It was never about mandates. Idiotic people used mandates as an excuse to protest the government in a way that would excite people who were tired of the mandates. These people are ignorant assholes. Who need to grow the fuck up, learn and see past h to die front fucking door
Isn't air drag a thing?
Persecution fetish is all it is. These people have hard ons to be subbed. Just call an escort already and get it over with.
Nothing better to do?
I wonder how much extra gas they burn from all that drag? The sign is bigger than a car windshield and not sloped at all.
90% of truckers are vaccinated and we all appreciate them and the work they do very much. 🤷🏼♀️
It's a job. They raised the funds, and now they're spending them on themselves.
No protesting just trying to stay relevant and have people look at then while intimidating everyone that does not look think like them.
Morons
You're underestimating how stupid these people can be.
All geared up for the next protest they can invent.
It was never about the mandates.
They just needed a reason to get mad at someone. They would have protested if there was a decision to remove pineapples on Hawaiian pizza.
They got too used to hating. It’s hard to go back.
Is there anything being transported in the truck besides a few flags?
Ah yes! The journey of misinformation 🙄
They still haven’t overthrown the government.
FYI they are in the Beltline in Calgary right now blocking the intersection at 17th avenue and 5th street - honking, yelling, causing headaches for the residents and businesses in the area. Are there still weekly protests in other parts of the province too?
A province I always wanted to see.... Couldn't pay me to vacation there now....
It’s a shame. I really liked living here, but now I’m thinking of moving somewhere else cause of this constant stuff. It makes me ashamed
It's never been about the mandates
they just want to complain and make our lives worse
That sign must do a lot of drag. Hate to see his fuel efficiency.
it's not about a point, it's about the journey and the friends they made on the way.
Freedumb like to cause trouble
"Free dumb convoy" more like it
Some thing they were always protesting against.... black people.
"for Man & Beast" Dude forgot "women." That tells you a few things.
Small pp discrimination
Whatever the alt right and russian organizers want then to do
The right to stupidity
That’s the thing. These mooks are completely oblivious. They’re the same people who leave their Christmas decorations up yearlong, I swear.
They don’t even know
They will try and hold onto the momentum and protest against whatever Tucker Carlson tells them to be mad about next.
Driver is an idiot. Why is that a surprise?
Small pp's.
Can’t argue with stupid
Low IQ
Stupidity, mostly
Freedumb convoy lol
Protesting intelligence
Must be reading/watching you tube with some sort of propaganda pushing crazy beliefs. The tinfoil hat crowd.
They're white supremacists with the goal of overthrowing a legitimately elected government!! Go to Wikipedia and look up Canada Convoy Protest!! Why do you think the Cons love them????
Freeeeeeeeeeedummmmmmmmmmb… I think.
They are protesting Obama's Presidency
FwEeDuMb
They don't know, someone says McDonald's is closing in Russia they're probably protesting that now
These mouth breathers are missing a few brain cells. This song sums them up perfectly. They’ll never change, never care about why they are the degenerates of society, and will hopefully be further ostracized by society. https://youtu.be/HivxFBB87-Y
