The support for the Canadian trucker protest is already getting results. As we shared previously, ‘the absence of food will change things‘, and the reason is simple, it focuses priorities.
In the bigger picture, a grassroots protest from Main Street (truckers) forces the multinationals to a position of vulnerability. The multinationals control the politicians, so any pressure applied directly to the multinationals ends up being transmitted to their beneficiaries, the government officials.
In the modern era, the professional left has used this dynamic to pressure corporations via organized activism and leftist demands. However, the middle class actually has more power in this type of engagement, they just don’t use it.
The Canadian trucker protest is an example of the working class using the power of their influence. The results are immediately surfacing.
The multinational business advocacy groups in Canada are now telling the Canadian government officials to back down from their vaccination mandate against the truckers.
CANADA – Business leaders are urging Ottawa to ease vaccine mandates for cross-border truckers to relieve the congested supply chain with the United States.
Prime Minister Justin Trudeau defended Monday the mandate as a necessary step to keep supply chains open, arguing that COVID-19 itself is the biggest risk to Canada’s economy. But in separate statements the Canadian Chamber of Commerce and the Canadian Manufacturing Coalition both urged him to back down.
Perrin Beatty, the president of the Chamber, told The Canadian Press that while “we strongly favour getting as many people vaccinated as possible,” the government should allow more time before imposing the mandate on truckers.
[…] The Canadian Manufacturing Coalition, which represents over 30 manufacturing trade associations, called for a full reversal of the vaccine mandate after meeting Friday with Industry Minister Francois-Philippe Champagne.
Dennis Darby, the president of Canadian Manufacturers & Exporters which chairs the coalition, told Champagne that “Canadians are seeing empty shelves” because vaccine mandates are making supply chain bottlenecks worse.
In a statement, Darby said the meeting with Champagne was “a good first step but now we need to see concrete action by the government to start addressing these challenges, starting with reversing the trucker vaccine mandate.” (read more)
The middle class and working class can win this battle if they keep the pressure applied. This is the fundamental truth within the “yellow vest” movement writ large, and it is the essential truth inside all Main Street economies.
The Canadian people can win this fight. These signals from the multinationals are the first recognition of a changed dynamic. Any scenario that unites the middle class against the corporatist system becomes a risk to the politicians and the corporations who pay for them.
Beautiful! Let’s pray.
And the whole tree reverberated with a big AMEN!
If they are getting action this fast, they should hold out for more.
Roll back for a limited time is not good enough. Not even a starting position.
Agreed. Delay the mandate until the trucks turn around, only to mandate the vax in a month will not solve anything.
The truckers are well aware there’s no turning back public support is to great.
I believe that the plan is to blockade the Canadian capital for at least 2 weeks, to start.
I believe that the demand is that they want all covid mandates rescinded.
I watched a video with that sentiment—this if for doctors/nurses/health care employees/firefighters/LEO/teachers/federal employees/state employees/
the mandate must be discarded —NOT postponed.
Which is why it is important for all of Canada and all of US to support this…hell, if you didn’t stock up on food before now, duh!!!
I started in 2008
All rescinded and acknowledgement to mandate vaccines is a human rights violations with measure to advocate against mandate worldwide, with statement and document published worldwide. Worldwide apologies of human right violations up to this point.
Agreement also requires removal of Trudeau to avoid charges of not only the human rights violations but also treason.
Lock it in.
Nope.
Removal is fine.
Charges remain.
Yes, leverage is a wonderful, and powerful, thing.
How about no mandates forever!
I agree, bd.
The message needs to be clear and unequivocal: It’s over. Permanently.
Keep up the pressure until those commies squeal!
Shut down every road in Canada and let sparkle socks explain to his constituents why they are out of food. Hold the line, boys, hold the line…
Let them eat dirt.
Please notice what is happening. Corporations are urging end to TRUCKER mandate. The truckers want an end to ALL mandates.
This is not good, not a win. They are attempting to defuse the anger by giving in on a minor number of ppl…that is, the truckers.
I urge the truckers to press on till the government buckles.
Let’s Act. Pray for Action. Celebrate Results. Prayer without Action is ineffectual.
Given events leading to this point, I fully expect the northern communists to triple down irrespective of the damage inflicted on the citizens. As their leaders often say, the little people need to ‘feel the pain’ of resistance to their vaxx.
Only when there is mass non-compliance at work/biz/commerce, the food riots start, or they begin mass arrests will there be an actual shift.
If food riots start, one has to wonder about the Canadian military standing around without incidents over deliberate starvation policies.
During last couple of years have you not noticed that many of the top generals have been sacked over historical events?
Possible to be sure, however here is a “boots on the ground”report from Greater Vancouver B.C.
The majority of folks have had more than enough of this B.S.
Folks are getting their spark back, the “ booster” is an epic fail.
The latest “variant “ is openly mocked as being a head cold and sniffles malady.
Sure we have clowns driving around with masks on, and our tyrannical rulers are “hanging on”
However the sentiment has shifted.
Cheers !
Dekester. A truck company owner in our group is leading the convoy from Niagara Region. Our turn to pull out is on Friday.
I have my AZ license and I asked him if he had a rig that I could run! He said that he has a whole list of drivers that want to roll.
My goodness, this is exciting! The ground support for this is absolutely earth shaking.
Stay strong Dekester. This is historic! All of us that have gotten into groups and signed up for Action4Canada are seeing the results. Dozens and dozens of emails and phone calls to my MPP and MP! We resisted and we DID NOT comply.
Well done good sir on the west coast. Hold the line!
My prayers are urgent!
DD
This is so encouraging to read!!!
Yes D.D.
Interestingly for me is that my exceedingly polite and cultured wife and once proud Canadian and her similarly endowed childhood best friend.
Are far more electrified than me, and I am a Scottish street thug of old.
Trudeau and his crowd may retain power because of Ontario around Toronto, but he has lost any consent he may have had to govern.
We knew he was a tin pot dictator, now millions more see it.
Cheers!
With the left’s worship of abortion, can suicide be far behind?
Plenty of mooses.
John Galt Wins !!!
We need to remove….the consent of the governed….
Become ungovernable….“Unintended Consequences.”
What would Henry do….????
Gofundme is nearing $4 million for the truckers. The comments on that site are what struck me. People from all over the world sending their support.
Yea but it’s Canadian money.
Haha, that’s true. But many small donations from people that are absolutely fed up with feeling powerless.
Ouch!
4 million currently is 3.2 million US. Remember also that in Canada gasoline prices are per liter.
If they were using GiveSendGo, I would be contributing some funds.
GoFundMe is a cultural marxist organization and will likely do something to hold up those funds. I trust GoFundMe as far as I can throw them.
People need to wise up and stop using the enemy’s platforms.
Yup. That was their goal and now I see they’ve increased the target to 5 million. What an honor to contribute to it.
Flyover, go to their site convoyforfreedom and they explain how it will be distributed. Gofundme is sketchy for sure and if Trudeau manages to coerce them to shut that down, money will be returned to the donators then the organizers will set up an “Adopt a truck drivers” site. They are very prepared!!!
And as an added bonus it looks like the truck drivers are starting to receive the respect that they’ve long deserved.
Yes indeed! They are among the forgotten class, the belittled class, the class that makes things run, keeps people fed, keeps goods flowing all-the-while the elites look down their noses at them in scorn.
HAHa. Here in the Deep South of the USA, truckers are our hero outlaw biker gangs. We love them. I grew up on CB radio, talking with truckers all of the time. We respect them and have made them cultural heroes. I remember standing by the road as big rigs ran by, making the air horn sign to them and jumping for joy when a trucker would sound off.
Go, neighbors!
Great photo choices above.
LOL! Would you argue with those guys?
Godspeed, truckers!
I hope The Boy Trudeau doubles down and starts heavily fining truckers. That action would suit is character and maybe, just maybe all those women who keep voting for his boyish charms and who are now having trouble putting food on the table may turn away from The Boy.
Boyish charms!? He’s a disgusting weak freak!
A total sissy – to put it politely … Reminds me of the FBI guys at the Jan 6 rally trying to look normal – pitiful.
Bless the truckers who are protesting.
Trudeau and Creepy Uncle Brandon both stepped in it. If the truckers had decided to have a work stoppage on their own, there would have been consequences for the truckers to bear. As is, all the hate falls on these two Build Back Better buffoons.
I’m not so sure they think so. I think they want the chaos of their actions.
They are not in a vacuum, at least the people pulling their strings.
Follow the money. Who and how do they profit? Short the market? Intentionally crash the economy? Remember, these people are pure evil.
Build Back Bettter = BBB = bbb = 666
Hidden in “plain sight.”
Yeah, baby Castro isn’t backing down.
I predict that Trudeau will spend his remaining years in Cuba, after he is ostracized in all of Canada.
I also believe that Obama will live out the rest of his life in his homeland, Kenya, to avoid prosecution.
Neither will be safe to walk the streets in the country that they “led” at one point in time.
May take a few years, but I seriously believe this.
We are winning. The left doesn’t know it, but we are winning.
Winning would have meant this never would have gotten this far.
Although, better late than never, citizens have been at least a year late to the party. We allowed this tô get this far. That’s not winning. We’re in reaction mode.
Haha. Joking right I hardly call this winning.
The best you can say is we are finally pushing back a little.
Will the near empty chicken freezer in my local Aldi here in PA contribute to a similar result? To soon to tell. One thing is certain though: follow the money. The prices will not go back down to normal just because the supply chain is repaired. This, I believe, is the purpose of the multi-nationals limiting supply.
Supply and demand still rules. At least for Godly folks. When those chickens go to the dumpsters….they ain’t stupid.
Hungry wives matter.
Yes. I’m serious.
Being hungry and cranky is a force to be reckoned with.
Hungry children matter. I have three. I’ve stocked up as much as my apartment will hold.
I saw a report earlier today that Walmart in Ontario, Canada is going to enforce Vaccine Passports. Walmart not helping the cause if this is true
Think that is Quebec.
Walmart is a WEF member. Look up the list of companies and get informed.
Walmart is such a mixed bag. On the one hand they provide a lot of jobs and also needed goods to people in regions where the convenience of a store like this is meaningful. On the other hand, just about everything they sell is made in China and the company has been quick to mindlessly join and support things like BLM. In my view, they have no backbone and I avoid patronizing the store if I possibly can.
‘Mixed bag’ is by design. Big corps think they do no wrong.
Walmart may be convenient, however, don’t forget all the mom and pop stores that closed in towns across America because they couldn’t compete with cheap Chinese goods that Walmart sells.
Quebec.
I had always hoped that either the nurse’s unions, the police unions or the fireman’s unions would have gone on strike over the vaccine mandates. Imagine calling the police and no one answers, arsonists are setting fires all over the city, no maternity wards for pregnant women or emergency room treatment if your kid is sick. How long would those mandates have lasted???
Yes, I think the power of being organized en masse has been lacking.
For those of us of a certain age, looks like we got us a CON…VOY…
Let them truckers roll, 10-4.
Great song. Horrible movie
Rubber Ducky lives!
Yup……..Mmmmmm…….Ali MacGraw!!!
The GoFundMe is close to CAD $4m now
https://www.gofundme.com/f/taking-back-our-freedom-convoy-2022
Yup. They just raised the target to 5 million. Doing great. Something truly wonderful to be a part of, eh?!
Don’t back down until prohibitions of such mandates are codified in law. Never give the Communists one inch. Press forward. No forgiveness, no compromise.
Agreed. Someone up thread made a similar point re: don’t settle for some temporary measure. You know these commies will pull the rug out as soon as possible.
…and proceed directly to ‘punitive damages.’
It’s not just empty shelves. They can’t get their parts and or products delivered. EVERYTHING, all commerce, will grind to a halt. It is in their best interest for push to end this crap once and for all. The writing is all over the wall, and the sidewalk and the street.
What if everyone decides to take the day off and protest the big day the truckers comverge on Ottawa? It all grinds to a halt. 😉
We can’t get Americans to turn off their Tv for a day, it would be nice if the Truckers would ask, then people might take a day off, or turn off the programming tube.
Please listen to this 19 minute summary from an independent journalist in Canada. Things are already far worse than most of us know or could imagine. According to my take on Wayne Peters description, Canada is about to go full bore Venezuela. The psychosis is real and everywhere; beef farmers can’t get grain to feed their herds and next week start putting them down, prices are out of control ($7 for a loaf of bread), foreigners being brought in to backfill the unvxd health care workers that were ford, health care being denied to unvxd…internment camps (“voluntary isolation facilities”). And more. Pray for the truckers, Justin has labeled them domestic terrorists. It’s likely to get ugly.

I wish Canadians were militant enough to start a parallel economy that bypasses government entirely and husband their resources in the ways they know are right in God’s eyes.
When government is wrong it is incumbent upon us to right those wrongs. This is one of those times.
We are, we have barbers, physiotherapists, Chiropractors, Naturopaths and even dentists that will work for cash.
Native bands ( Indians) are a terrific source of seafood. Cigarettes too, I don’t smoke, and am told they are sh*t. But at around $5.00 a pack as opposed to $15.00 or more!!
Fresh black market seafood is available if one knows who to ask
Produce is plentiful via commercial greenhouses from the producer.
Eggs too.
All building trades of course.
This boil has been ready to pop for a while..we are now popped.
Cheers!
Ontario as well.
You can see Canadian empty shelves on Youtube
Just spread that far and wide.
Thanks for the link
Truck the Terrorist Trudeau who wants for citizens to feel pain. May the pain come to Justin, instead…. And may Justin be left to wander and beg for his sustenance as he would have that others do. Shameful misbegotten piece of rat$h— passing as a national leader
That’s insane. I’ve just sent that link to a bunch of people. Everyone needs to hear it!
Is it anywhere else? I have deleted Facebook from my life due to their invasive methods and censorship.
Wendy Bell radio has a free APP in the apple store. She likely has it on there too.
Good one. “Mainstream mercenaries, hired assassins”. I call them the Media Mafia. It truly is what they are.
thanks…I shared this on GAB site.
Don’t want to kick ’em while they’re down but you know who voted for Trudeau.
Few did..something like 33%..he has a minority government propped up by our ultra socialist party, the N.D.P 🤮
Their leader gets what he wants, or he will bring down Trudeau.
Think Uniparty!
And there’s supposed to be a few hundred trucks coming from the USA to join. People are saying that if they cannot cross the border, they will just block the roads.
Now we need our truckers in the US to get our own train started right to FJB’s front door.
Love it!
Power to the people…. where it originates and where it belongs (aside from our Creator).
Don’t forget Carhartt’s CEO Mark Valade says “An unvaccinated workforce is both a people and business risk that our company is unwilling to take.”
I hope this motivates others like me who will remove the Carhartt logos from the products I own with precision and never purchasing another Carhartt product again!
I’m in!
I called them and indicated that – if they are indeed mandating the jab, then I will be boycotting their business.
“An unvaccinated customer base is both a people and business risk that our company is unwilling to take.” There. Fixed it.
kerSPLATT
I hope Carhartt gets sued the next time one of their employees gets the flu or a stomach virus from a coworker while they’re at work, since they’ve indicated in writing illness at work is a business risk they’re unwilling to take. That would be the ultimate Karma.
Undoubtedly many employees will suffer side effects or death from the jabs…..what will Carhartt say then?
SHAME on Carhartt
This was a REALLY bad move considering Carhartt’s customer base.
He proves his stupidity–after 2 years, now you want to give shots??
People power! Gladdens my heart!
Watching that video I’m reminded of the immense spaces of the Canadian plains and also how much diesel fuel costs in Canada and what those trucks consume, even bobtail, and maintenance. Big sacrifices there beyond lost income and time away from loved ones. God look over them and grant them good health and a safe journey.
Wonder if Trudeau will attempt to somehow shut down the gas stations.
Keep on truckin’! These men and women are heroes in my opinion. Watching them stand up to the multinationals does my heart good.
Can’t wait to see the jam up when they all get to Ottawa. LOL.
The volume of 10’s of thousands of air horns sounding around Ottawa will be something to behold.
May the “Walls of Jericho” come tumbling down!
God speed & God bless them all!
Excellent insights 🇺🇸
Love it !
Respectfully, the support for the trucker movement is not in the slightest bit about food. Every supporter is in all in for FREEDOM.
The commie libs are the ones suggesting this will make food supplies harder to deliver.
1776Worldwide: I agree. Furthermore, the Canadians should take it to the Stanley Cup Finals and demand that Sparkle Socks resign.
Good point. The commies will blame the truckers for food shortages just as they blame the unvaccinated for the virus at this point. I hope whoever will be the main folks speaking on behalf of the truckers is very very savvy.
Reminds me of the power dynamic in the novel Dune by Frank Herbert. I hope they stay and demand Shiny Pony Trudeau’s resignation.
Let em starve for a week
This is what is needed right here and right now. Block off DC and don’t let up till all demands are met. No more forced vaccines, no more mask mandate, complete investigation of the criminals that perpetrated these crimes and punish those who have committed crimes against the citizens of the US. Nothing short of full disclosure and prosecution.
If our truckers would blockade DC, they should organize in 5-7 day shifts: we don’t need all of them to show up at once. Rather, just enough to rotate into and out of the blockade.
This is an attempt to get the truckers to disband and go home rather than proceed to Ottawa.
Keep on truckin’
VIRAL VIDEO – I bet you $100.00 this makes you smile
https://commoncts.blogspot.com/2022/01/viral-video-i-bet-you-10000-this-makes.html
Needed that smile desperately. Thank you!
Something to keep in mind. The truckers’ protest needs to change both Canada and US gov policy. If Canada gave in tomorrow and US didn’t the blame will shift but the goods still don’t flow.
The policy battle can be stretched out a few weeks with delays and promises and partial changes and the like. By the time they give in significant pain will have been felt and the shelves will be bare.
The policy will be changed yet due to the accordian effects and loss of any reserve stock, it will take a long time to get consistent supply back on the shelves. Gov will blame shift back to trucking to try to avoid accountability. That it never would have happened without the trucker protest.
Through it all, we must support the truckers and hold strong on gov accountability and demand no c19 restrictions and resignations of corrupt gov officials. And pray for strength, courage, and determination in the face of adversity.
This is The Way
It always comes down to the money! The companies hurt, so something must be done.
The truckers need to continue and ask for more than the removal of the mandate! Removal of COVID passports, masks, and jabs for the whole country!
” the government should allow more time before imposing the mandate on truckers.”
The truckers need to fight and win this battle now and completely. No mandate – not now, not ever. Do not let the tyrants withdraw, only to return and stab you in the back later.
Dear Sundance … I applaud with hands sore from lauding you of all the work you have done, and continue to do, for many, many years! Back as far as the old platform the Treehouse had. However, I am amazed you put in the pic of the semi of “F – Trudeau”. It is obviously a composed pic (can we say Photoshopped)! IF it was a real picture of a real truck painted that way … you would easily see the vertical ribs, or at least the ‘shadows’ of them, of any kind of trailer in the pic! A soft sider (conestoga type) trailer you would see the pull marks of the side tarps near the corners, and if a solid wall trailer you would see the lines of ribs/rivets. Either type of trailer you would see the difference in the color of the blue box vary near the ribs/supports. In addition, the perspective view of the lettering is ‘almost perfect’ but not quite. If it was real both the top of the lettering, and the bottom of the lettering would be parallel to the respective sides. It is not. The top of the letters are, but the bottoms are not. It is a remarkably well done job of photoshopping … but it just NOT REAL! I have been using Adobe PS (and others) for well over two decades, so I have learned how to do things properly. Whomever did this just goofed! They forgot the “little things” that almost always will show up a fake for what it is. I applaud the thought, and I agree with it. But using faked photos is beneath you, and the CTH! JMHO …
Ever dawn on you ,Sundance might not care if it is fake.Let me clue you in , you have a problem email him, do not try and empress us with your knowledge. And never belittle the person who keeps this site going.
1 … I did not, nor would I ever “belittle” Sundance. Our world as it is now, requires many more like him to keep doing what he has done, and hopefully will continue to do. 2 … over the years ( a lot of them btw) I have been ‘on’ this site the ONE THING that has always kept me coming back is that Sundance never, ever, deliberately put out false information! He does care if things are fake, he always has, that’s what has kept me and many of “The Treepers” coming back, and trusting him to give us the truth! 3 … If I, personally, have something to say, that I feel needs saying, I don’t ever do it ‘privately’ by emailing someone directly, as you have suggested. PS: I am well beyond the time in my life where I desire to impress anyone, with anything, so I don’t bother. I was just stating the facts as I saw them. Definitely NOT trying to impress you, or anyone. Sorry if you took it that way.
So? Doesn’t bother me.
jmho
The multinationals will lose if communism wins out. The new dictatorship will take over those businesses. I wonder if they are starting to have any buyers remorse?

Govt is supposed to ensure the welfare of The People. If that were the reality, present realities wouldn’t be happening.
Govt has failed in its primary responsibility. Govt protects, empowers, and extends itself, at the expense of The People.
It is way past time for the Govt to be Responsible to The People. Excuses have gone lame.
Limiting Govt powers is long past due. They are not very smart, except in providing for themselves. I’m done with that.
Govt does not “give” me rights. Govt defends the rights that God provided to me. If Govt can’t or won’t do that job, then I don’t need them at all. Govt exists only because I allow them to exist, not because they allow me to exist.
Think about it.
CBC desperately tries to downplay #TruckersForFreedom , by saying it’s a dozen or so transports…..LOL
Clip – – @010Bravo
” Breaking : The number of truckers , family members and supporters descending on Ottawa is now estimated at 500,000 people and 50,000 + trucks.
Yes , you read that right . Estimated half a million people.” — Quiggin Report Podcast @QuigginReport
#TruckerConvoy2022
Ah yes, the middle-class … the heart of MAGA … need to keep them riled up to get the jobs back … and fix all the disasters that the phony creep at 1600 has created.
The chamber says the truckers should be allowed more time. BS. That’s code for “back off for now so the protesters all go home, then bring it back on.
As long as they’re all making the trip maybe a couple trucks could bring tar and feathers.
Starving people become violent mobs and I’m not talking about missing a couple of meals. Parents with starving children are even worse. The elites best be careful. That’s when it gets ugly.
“As we shared previously ‘the absence of food will change things‘, and the reason is simple, it focuses priorities.”
I watched a documentary on The Weather Underground a couple decades ago. One of the at-large members spent 25+ years avoiding arrest. In the documentary, she said the group was 100% certain a U.S. revolution would start any day, yet it did not. She spent 25 yrs researching what starts revolutions (besides the CIA). Her opinion: inability to live your live day to day under current circumstances. Food instability.
The lady went on to discuss the formation of The Weather Underground, it’s inability at first to be heard or make a difference, what drove it’s highest levels of influence, and what caused it to become ineffective. What was the key factor? Hint: the answer is in the quote at the top of this post. Focus.
She said the group became influential and powerful once they all agreed the focus should be to end the Vietnam War. They continually gained influence and notoriety to the war’s end. And then it all began to unravel, slowly at first, then blindingly fast. Without the war, they could not agree on a focus of their efforts.
This is a lesson similar to the divide and conquer strategy of pitting us against each other, seeking to make a dozen issues of ultimate importance to one or two groups each, but no one or two issues important to all. Diffuse the focus and pressure.
The vaccine mandates at the time they were pushed were a mistake. They unified vaxed and unvaxed on a single issue both sides agree upon: governmental mandate of taking an experimental drug by force is a bridge too far for almost everyone.
And that shock of consciousness opened the door to the awareness that, doh!, the vaccines don’t work and the boosters every 3-6 months may never stop. That’s a bridge way, way too far for even most leftists one they admit the vaccines don’t work.
So here we are, awake, aware, and focused. Let the games begin!
The Weather Underground you mean the one with Bill Ayers, Obama, the one where they all went into the colleges. I believe that is why we have a problem in this country.
That’s why you see nation of islam joining in the fight.
well we can go back to the days of prohibition and float food across the Detroit River to the US.
To repeat Sundance’s request, KEEP THE PRESSURE ON! If the don’t completely eliminate the illegal mandates then it is
GAME ON!!
“The multinationals control the politicians, so any pressure applied directly to the multinationals ends up being transmitted to their beneficiaries, the government officials.” Interesting comment, Sundance. And true on multiple levels.
Historically, the Italian Fascism model had government and oligarchs in partnership with government in control. We’re now seeing a revision in this model. It is still Fascism—government and oligarch elites are still in partnership only this time it is the oligarchic elites that tell government what to do.
I contributed to the convoys GoFundMe first thing this morning.
and when the government complies… Do we stop? and just go back to getting cooked?
