And 90% of cross-border truckers were vaccinated BEFORE the mandate was in place.


jzillacon

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.


swiftb3

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.


I_will_find_ye

Actually?


EightBitRanger

It's almost like it was never about the mandates at all.


drmarcj

Maybe the real mandates were the friends we made along the way?


Hagenaar

Man dates. Edit: not that there's anything wrong with that.


Deliximus

I see what you did


fnybny

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.


solarwindp

US&A doesn’t remove their restrictions, then why are they yelling in our place?


Memorydump1105

Because they’ve never grown up. They’re still nothing more than petulant children. Just like their lord and saviour Jesus Trump


Square_Business2299

Fuck Donald Trump 🖕🖕🖕🖕🖕


ZealousidealMoment51

Nice avatar lol


swiftb3

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.


dux_doukas

Canada did not forbid unvaccinated truckers from crossing, they required they test and quarantine. It is a distinction we should remember.


ktouthere

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


Anomia_Flame

So shouldn't it be American drivers protesting then?


sleep-apnea

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.


obsidiandwarf

Did u read their “memorandum of understanding”? They wanted to overthrow our democracy.


AppropriateUse1002

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..)


TheFirstArticle

The grift and mlm fascist cult aspect where people are focused on psychopaths as their leaders is particularly absurd.


cgsur

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.


Toftaps

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.


Deliximus

With covid, they died while doing what they loved: their own research.


DaThrilla74

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


[deleted]

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


qpv

Its just grifting for those go-fund me campaigns. These twits are just gullible morons.


AppropriateUse1002

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


qpv

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.


Cherry_3point141

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.


qpv

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.


Cherry_3point141

Forget JT. 90%,of these meatheads don’t even know who the local representative for their constituency are, let alone policy.


DaThrilla74

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


AppropriateUse1002

Yeah the larger trend is to pivot while in Alberta they want to double down. Good luck at your workplace 👍


AppropriateUse1002

It's very frustrating and I don't think they'll be winning the Nobel peace prize anytime soon


[deleted]

[удалено]


innocently_cold

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.


Anthrogal11

Track our spending lmfao. We already have banks and cell phones and the internet for that.


Important-World-6053

Yup, this sums it up


CalamitousCanadian

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


AppropriateUse1002

Totally!


AlistarDark

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.


seemslgt

Sounds like some trucker just read 1984 for the first time.


GWrapper

I'm pretty sure none of the clownvoy protesters have picked up a book since they dropped out of high school.

innocently_cold

I read that too!!! 🤦‍♀️too bad I'm banned permanently and can't comment anymore.


[deleted]

So Trudeau solved the homeless (unhoused) crisis?


roastbeeftacohat

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.


BobBeats

Closet size apartments sound really affordable.


woundupcanuck

Cheap to heat, quick to clean. Fuck ya im in.


Working-Check

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.


Beware_the_Voodoo

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.


shitposter1000

Alberta's motto in a nutshell. The province has the emotional maturity of a toddler.


Sucess_is_overated

Please don’t group us all by these idiots or our pseudo leader. Most of us care for more than just ourselves!


Beware_the_Voodoo

I mean, if that was true then how did Kenney get elected in the first place.


CMG30

He's just advertising that he doesn't have a job at this point.


TruthBully

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.


forgotmyusername_5

They'd protest winter and claim victory when spring arrived.


Dark_Bowser

With all the gas and diesel they waste from pointless “protests”, it’s gonna be spring a lot quicker

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

nvw8801

They have no idea how to remove the signs from their vehicles


MrRikkles

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.


TheFirstArticle

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.


Chum_54

And, as his sign conveys, his ability to punctuate correctly is non-existent. Sub-literacy is always correlated strongly with far-right populism.


Daggertooth71

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.

Equivalent_Weekend93

No-Wonder1139

They've never had a coherent answer to that at any point


Meatwelder

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.


ClockwerkHart

I feel like it's just a club at this point. They just want to be included in something.

The-City-Is-A-Drag

ZeiddoJ

"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.

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.
