The Canadian protests bore little in common with what was covered in this piece. The film seems to deliberately display the trucker community and their supporters as semi illiterate goofs with a poor understanding of what they are doing What struck me about the Canadian convoy was the variety of people involved; truckers, nurses, doctors, teachers, blueberry farmers, office workers all making the trek to the dismal city of Ottawa every weekend to stand with the truckers and give another voice to their concerns about freedom of choice.

For 2 years millions of people who did not agree with the WEF/Covid agenda have been ridiculed, called right wing, called selfish and stupid by friends, family and their government. The trucker convoy showed us that we were not alone, and that there were in fact people around us who we might never have connected with on any other issue, but in this we were united.

So go ahead and make the classist assumption that the convoy was full of silly people, waiving their anti- commie flags or wearing Maga hats. I probably wouldn’t agree with 50% of the people there on issues like abortion or LGBetc rights, guaranteed incomes or the right to bear arms, but on this issue of mandates there are millions who stand with the truckers and their courage to speak out.

Attention should be paid to the underlying malaise of the working person about the declining standards of living for many. Trump should have been a warning about the desperation of people to pry themselves from a corrupt political system. Instead, his opposition spent 4 years consumed with hatred instead of looking at themselves and where they had gone wrong And nothing good can be born of hatred.

MSM has completely sequestered this national story. Not a word of it anywhere.
