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.
No vaccine mandates.
No mask mandates.
Allow doctors, without interference from anyone, to prescribe ivermectin, HCQ and monoclonal antibodies, etc.
Here is my suggestion for a theme song as the Truckers are now …. in the Driver’s Seat
In other words, we really don’t want the mandates to stop, but just until we can temporarily re-stock grocery shelves and find a way to hide from the public and their scrutiny, and continue ignoring them. .
They need to keep the appearance of working with the government intact, so Trudeau and the communist lefties don’t get their feelings hurt. Trudeau might cry.
Actually, I don’t know Perrin Beatty or the record of the chamber, however, they are certainly getting pushed by their members who probably pay dues. If the stores go out of business because of lack of product resulting in lack of sales, then the chamber’s finances are affected. Always follow the money as motivation for most things.
He is a former federal Progressive Conservative (Read RINO) minister.
Perrin Beatty is a former Conservative MP , who comes from old money in the town of Fergus Ontario , where Beatty Mfg. (founded 1874) once was a major local player. He , like Trudeau was elected because of the family name recognition … nothing else , other than being associated with the old guard of the Conservative Party . He is essentially a nothing burger , never accomplished anything in or out of politics other than successfully using the family name , and who in the US would be labelled a RINO.

#TruckersForFreedom convoy
That was my take PRECISELY
In my fantasy the truckers take their loads to local parking lots and open the doors to the public. I see no immediate reason to respect property rights of multinationals given that they have declared war on the human race. I also have fantasies about the ultimate fate of the corporate board members but this is a family site.
Especially the fuel tankers.
Good idea, ‘hijack’ food trucks for the middle class to keep their pantries stocked.
Saw recently that Japanese transit workers went on strike.but instead of walking out they kept working.they just quit taking fares.
i love your post. I have fantasies too. we will be avenged.
👍
Down here in the US we used to give a “lawn job” to people we don’t like. That’s when you drive across their lawn in your car. Maybe spin your tires a bit and leave the lawn a muddy mess. Imagine 1,000 truckers giving the Capitol lawn in Ottawa one big lawn job. Trudeau’s mansion too. Now that would be beautiful.
Canadians have been so compliant throughout this entire thing. Remember the guy who took his bike to the comedian’s car window when the comedian was driving with a bullhorn making jokes about the lockdown? Hopefully, the truckers have lots of support for what they are doing. I for one am applauding them!
They have tons of support! Last night the convoy was 44 miles long! Supporters cheering them along the way. It seems to have gotten Canadians fired up and given them much needed hope!
Canadian Media is paid $600 million a year to shout out Liberal Party propaganda and stiff-arm any opposition, any discussion. It’s like watching/listening to North Korea’s pablum about Dear Leader Justin.
This Freedom Convoy 2022 is the match that has finally given the fire-breathing Canadian people a voice.
Let the Convoy get to Ottawa or declare Martial Law (Pierre Trudeau’s War Measures Act), Trudeau and the Global Billionaires that own him, have started a fire they cannot put out.
Not all Canadians!
Tory MPs Voice Support for Truckers’ ‘Freedom Convoy’ Protest Against Vaccine Mandate

Watch this one!
Like Social Justice Warriors, clusters of dining blue-state politicians and College Football game attendees, truckers will be declared mysteriously immune from harm. As for the rest of you sheep, Vax-Up!
Right on. Can I get Trucker Immunity if I own a pickup? In the US we have USPS (US Postal workers) Immunity. But you have to work there to get it. We also have US Congressional Immunity. But you have to work there to get it.
nobody ‘works’ there!
The convoy coming from British Columbia is reported as over 110 km long. This is one of 5 separate convoys heading to Ottawa.
There are an estimated 5,000 plus American truckers joining the entertainment, with a possible increase of up to 10,000 Americans joining and supporting.
This is 68 miles…that convoy is huge. I can’t wait for that to hit Ottawa and multiply that by 5.
Go Truckers…..
this True Blood supports all of you.

I live in Ottawa. Mildly concerned about getting around to places after Saturday. BUT – I stocked up on (more) food today, will have to get milk maybe Friday, going to Mass this evening, am prepared to do online Mass Sunday. GO, TRUCKERS!!!!(talking with a friend about finding an overpass to watch them arrive 🙂)
(And praying folk, my son has a driving test booked Feb 4. Pray he can get there *and* passes 🙏)
Reversal of the mandates is an inadequate and unsatisfactory response. The people responsible for these policies must be removed from government.
Unless this happens, there will always be the potential for these mandates to reappear or morph into a different form.
Reversal is just the first step.
Following that the punishment will be death or exile….just like in Dark Night Rises
Of course they did…
| Trucker Funds Frozen |
“GoFundMe has frozen the $4 million in funds raised by the trucker convoy now wending [winding] its way across the country toward Ottawa in a protest against vaccine mandates.”
https://www.castanet.net/news/Canada/357960/Trucker-convoy-s-4-million-in-fundraising-frozen-by-GoFundMe#357960
Trudeau has his sticky little paws over this, no doubt.
The “Justification” for this move is claimed to be some kind of audit “to make sure the funds are appropriately spent” just like GoFundMe did with all those millions raises for the cop killers and drug addicts during the BLM riots, remember? Me neither.

US Transportation Secretary appears to be MIA here?
And how about discrimination against US drivers by Canadian govt?
As Sundance has been warning since the beginning, the “mandates” were just the beginning. This has been in the works for DECADES and it coordinated among the similarly aligned GLOBALLY.
“Ontario to require proof of vaccination in select settings”.
https://news.ontario.ca/en/release/1000779/ontario-to-require-proof-of-vaccination-in-select-settings
“…As of September 22, Ontarians will be required to show their vaccine receipt when entering designated settings along with another piece of photo identification, such as a driver’s licence or health card. This is similar initial implementation approach announced in British Columbia.
Ontario will also introduce an enhanced digital vaccine receipt that features a QR code, which is safe, more secure and with you wherever you go. This digital vaccine receipt can be kept on a phone and easily used to show that you’ve been vaccinated if you need to. In addition, the province will launch a new app to make it easier and more convenient for businesses and organizations to read and verify that a digital vaccine receipt is valid, while protecting your privacy.”
https://www.theglobeandmail.com/canada/article-ontario-qr-code-vaccine-passport/
Target and other large retailers in the US are gently warming the water as well. Target and Safeway for quite some time, have demanded the right to scan your DL to buy wine or beer in their stores. The law does not require them to scan your DL into their database; it simply requires “proof” of age. I have refused them to scan my DL and MIL ID (Target, Safeway, etc) since the beginning. They are conditioning you to believe this is “normal”. (As an aside, in the beginning, they couldn’t scan the military IDs, but all of a sudden, their new software has the ability to scan military IDs along with other types of federal govt issued ID other than DL’s).
It used to be illegal to photocopy a DL.
Oh, wait, that law was aimed at us peons.
Let’s Go Trudeau
Trudeau and the Canadian Government have created the problem they said they would prevent. They’ve also uncovered themselves as “operating on an emotional plane”, “wishful thinkers”, arrogant, self deceived, presumptuous, devoid of common sense to process “cause and effect”.
Please…let the shelves go empty for 7 days in Canada; one of three nations that can feed itself! Greatest insurance Trudeau will be drug from office now or never be reelected again. Save the nation from it’s Leaders not for it’s Leaders to lead into the despairs and fears of starvation and lives torn apart, houses without heat, cars that cannot be repaired for lack of parts, Fathers without jobs, the sick, the newborn and the old without medical attention. What kind of nation do you want to be Canada? USA? France? Italy?!
It’s the citizens who have allowed the shelves to empty. It’s the citizens who tolerate their government punishing them for what their government recklessly forces on them. In Canada, in the US, in every nation. Blame ourselves for allowing a few to treat humans like animals.
Translate this: “We’re going to the Vet’s. Come here! Sit! Stay! Behave! Stop your barking! Bad dog – no supper for you. No ball for you. Get in your crate! I said stay. I will chain you up ”
Take away the authority you gave the candidates who smiled big, kissed the babies and promised you the moon as if they had a license to sell you a piece.
They told you what you wanted to hear and you nodded. Blame ourselves, recognize the solution is IN you, forgive yourself and do something about it like these Truckers are. There’s your example. Call their bluff, empty the shelves and the people will be motivated to throw out their Mistakes from office.
Wait and see must stop. If people don’t ‘see’ by now they can’t see at all. Let the shelves go empty so everyone can ‘see’. Only then will we all speak the same Truth. Only then will we have Unity to chase the arrogant with the Dictator Spirit out. Only then will governments fear the people.
This is a good first step, but “We, The People” still have a long way to go.
What the Davos step fear is that the Working/Middle class is getting a sense that THEY hold the balance of power.
The #FreedomConvoy2022 is a good first step, but there is a lot more than needs to be done to claw back, given how far down the road the Davos set has managed to coerce us towards their ultimate goals.
Hence, the need to demonize those who are wakening up, and the need to stoke division/othering and antigonism will be turned up to “eleventy”.
For example, the Working/Middle Class in the US needs to demand the dismantling of the SES (“Senior Executive Service”) bureaucracy put into place by Carter. The SES technocrats are what people refer to as, “Permanent Washington”. They are the unseen hidden hand that dictates, controls and implements much of the Globalist/Corporate Agenda. The SES are unelected, impossible to remove, and are the hidden hands of the Davos set. The contempt that the SES hold for ordinary Americans, and those GS-15’s, GS-14’s and those below them is legendary.
https://www.opm.gov/policy-data-oversight/senior-executive-service/
Unfortunately, the bottom line here is that police all over the world have thrown in their lot with authoritarians of stripes broad and narrow. And in Canada, New Zealand, Australia, throughout Europe … they have the guns.
Those who serve as the police powers authority of the government, work for the government, and will take their side. Some will not, but most will. History will bear that out.
Give this plan 2 weeks. Why?? Because most with any sense has a week of groceries at home and the second week of this plan will see those supplies used and the second week will show just how stupid Trudeau is as all shelves are empty/bare.
As a Canadian, I am not surprised at this grassroots “real protest” taking place. I know that comments have been made that we have been a little “late to the table” when it comes to defending our civil liberties; however, when we do awaken it is like Hockey Night in Canada; THE GLOVES ARE OFF!! I have been praying very much for our nation, and as an intercessor, I see the hand of God bringing PATRIOTS and CHRISTIANS together to form a mighty Joel’s Army. Pray for our nation now. Trudeau has rumblings about sending out the army. These truckers are due to arrive in our Capital this weekend. Blessings to all of our U. S. A. truckers joining in the freedom convoy.
Seems as there will be sufficient big trucks to roll over the Army!
Trudeau has done the impossible.
He has United Canada from coast-to-coast, including Quebec.
All against him.
Wonder why Bongino doesn’t have one thing about this on his website?
Just as a related update, I went to the Walmart to get groceries yesterday and literally half of the shelves were empty. What few eggs were on the shelf were all broken. Meat was only partially available. Could not find brand choices for anything we wanted, but we did manage to get 2 roasting chickens, so we will be okay for another week or so. Just like Sundance has been predicting from broken supply chains. I live in Colorado.
It is like 1984 around here now. If anyone gets COVID, they are afraid to go to the doctor because they can’t get any therapeutics anyway and if they enter the hospital there is an increasing likelihood of never coming home from there. Now that they can’t force us to take their useless vaccines, they seem intent on eliminating the control group of not vaccinated people as fast as they can.
Pokey,
I genuinely pray that you will be okay, but your comments highlight the desperate need for everyone to be a “Prepper”.
The issue is, you NEVER know “when” an emergency will arise, so it is best to always be prepared.
As Canadian born, and the daughter of a mom who grew up on a farm and truly knew “hard times”, I have always been a “Prepper” before prepping was cool, let alone a NatGeo series (which was designed to mock and disparage preppers, BTW, a classic example of “othering”.) My upbringing as a “Prepper” served me well when I took a position at a regional hospital in Northern Ontario, and lived in a rural community pretty much off the grid. (Our main energy source was propane, and many times in the winter the propane truck could not reach us safely to refuel us). Being “locked down” under extreme snow and ice conditions for 3+ weeks at a time, multiple times will bring home the need to be prepared.
In the last few years, I have taken “prepping” a little bit further, and my children (and their significant others/partners) have adopted my prepping strategies. I don’t advocate having multiple years of supplies (although we do in our TEOTWAWKI storage pantry), but I do advocate that everyone have enough to sustain themselves for 30 days.
When my youngest went away to college in Aggieland, Texas, at the hint of a storm we went to the local stores and found the shelves stripped bare due to panic buying. Slowly, over time, we were able to help her build up her supplies so now that in an “emergency”, they are able to remain at home, snug, cozy and well fed. Most of her friends didn’t know how to cope with the freeze that took over Texas, but she and her partner were well equipped with a well stocked pantry and a safe to use indoor-rated kerosene heater. It helps that her significant other is a honorably discharged Marine; it didn’t take long to bring him to the “Prepper” side of life.
Growing up, we always had two large freezers with a side of beef and a whole hog along with whatever fish, deer, and moose that were harvested. I carried that philosophy forward when I married and moved the US, albeit scaled back. A long power outage made me realize how vulnerable the multiple hundreds of $$$ in proteins in our freezers were. There was no way I could reasonably cook and process all those proteins in time to save them, if we had an extended power outage. That is when I taught myself how to pressure can meat as a back up plan to having meat stored in the freezer.
I would pressure can enough that each of my children, when away at school, would have enough to last them 3 weeks in an emergency. If they didn’t use them, then they had a ready made supply of homecooked meals available to simply reheat in a pot of boiling water for finals week. I now have a list of family recipes that pressure can the best and had the best “reviews”. Brisket pressure canned is amazing, and surprisingly, cabbage rolls pressure can well too. The most versatile one of course is to can ground beef seasoned with salt, pepper, onion and garlic which can then be adapted to pretty much any recipe that we normally use.
The supply chain disruptions do not have me, or members of my family, alarmed.
My blog has been off line for several years now as I dealt with some serious family member illnesses, but these are links to the posts I did on pressure canning and pantry storage.
https://stopshouting.blogspot.com/2016/05/shtf-self-education-introduction-to.html
https://stopshouting.blogspot.com/2020/05/i-know-i-need-teotwawki-pantry-but.html
When people complain to me that they “can’t afford to prep”, I do have sympathy, but there are ways to slowly build up your supplies. In many states, the biggest grocery chain will have BOGOs. If the BOGO item is something that your family likes and uses on a regular basis, buy the BOGO. Use one, and store the other in your TEOTWAWKI pantry. I mark the expiration dates with a sharpie on the outside on whatever face of the container I see, and rotate stock regularly.
Another solution is to start gradually getting used to adding in plant proteins to supplement your animal protein diet. Plant proteins, such as lentils, are cheap and store very well long term. One of the most loved “TEOWATKI” recipes is “cottage pie” (aka, variation of Shepherd’s Pie) which is a jar of pressure canned seasoned ground beef, with cooked lentils and rice in equal proportions topped by the instant mashed potato mix and freeze dried cheese. Lentils and rice cooked together are used throughout many parts of the world as a complete and healthy source of protein.
I wish you the best during this trying times, and I hope that this convinces you to think about what you and your family would need to have on hand to keep you for 30 days so in an emergency, you wouldn’t have to leave the house to join the panicked crowds and put yourself at risk. When things go beyond 30 days, we are in to a whole other paradigm, and that’s a discussion for another day.
God Bless you and your family, and thank you for your first hand reporting on the situation in your area.
Elections have consequences, and stolen elections have catastrophic consequences.
It seems WM is having worse problems than some of the regular stores (as Sundance wrote about last week talking about different supply chains for different stores). I hope you have an alternative source for at least some basics/essentials.
My visit to an Albertson’s in Southern Calif today went better than your WM visit. I was there to plug some holes in my supplies and add some fresh produce. I got lucky that produce was just stocked. I was not in the market for chicken today, but took a look – they had exactly 4 whole (uncooked) chickens in the meat dept – $2.49 – $2.99/lb. That’s a huge increase considering chicken was .99/lb (.88/lb on sale) not that long ago.
Wishing you and yours well in CO.
Alpha-CA-Truckers are about to force Beta-Trudeau to bend and take a knee.
Looks like the main street truckers will lead Canada to the win.
Keep at it! Go for the BIG win!!
I think it’s part of their agenda to starve people and make us do without essential goods. Please help others if their wish comes to fruition
YES!,,By ALl Means……even on a small lot, you can raise a lot of food, and store it for long term, and as some who did not, or could not stock up, you can help feed them, and Jesus will remember

He needs to be reminded in a big way.
But US policies too, are hurting Canadian Truckers… “A new U.S. port regulation recently went into effect mandating that noncitizens may not enter the U.S. through ports of entry unless they have been fully vaccinated against COVID-19. While the new mandate does not apply to American truck drivers, it does apply to all Canadian and Mexican drivers” (Link: Thomas Gallatin: The Price-Jabbing International Trucking Vax Mandate | The Patriot Post )
US/Biden Admin Policies need to be addressed somehow (how?) right here in the US if these hardworking Canadian truckers are to be victorious.
They need to demand all covid mandates be rescinded. They have the power, but I don’t think they realize it.
Good to see the Mushroom People of Nova Scotia stand up when it counts.
They are on their way from NS.
the government should allow more time before imposing the mandate on truckers.
As more and more people see the booster, booster, booster ineffectiveness, it will become more and more likely that less and less people, not to mention truckers, will comply. Time actually works against the tyrants.
I wonder if the Canadian COC has sold out their country the way ours has here?
