As the Canadian ‘Freedom Convoy’ of truckers pushing back against COVID mandates, forced vaccinations and government regulations gets closer to Ottawa, Prime Minister Justin Trudeau announces he will be isolating at home after exposure to the COVID ‘Protest Avoidance‘ variant.

Trudeau admits he has not tested positive, but thinks it is prudent to stay home just in case.

The fundraiser for the Freedom Convoy now exceeds $6.3 million dollars and still climbing.  It is estimated that somewhere north of 50,000 vehicles are participating in the convoy.  The Canadian government is very concerned about the political ramifications.

(Via Global News) – […] Truckers and supportive protesters are heading to Ottawa from east and west parts of the country, as well as from southern Ontario where routes were scheduled to depart from several locations Thursday including Windsor, Sarnia, Niagara and Toronto, according to the organizers’ website.

[…]  Among the topics at-issue for demonstrators is the Canadian government’s COVID-19 vaccine mandate for cross-border truckers to avoid quarantine.

Mike Fabinski, a truck driver from Barrie, Ont., said the vaccine mandate for cross-border truckers means he won’t be able to work cross-border routes anymore.  “You want to be vaccinated, go ahead, your choice. I don’t want to be vaccinated, that’s my choice,” he said.

[…]  The protest also now seems to be targeting COVID-related mandates generally, beyond the one for cross-border truckers.

“What I’m calling for is basically lockdowns and restrictions to be lifted like the rest of the world is starting to do,” protester Mark Smith told Global News in Drumbo, Ont.

“There’s a freedom movement actually across the world right now and we’re all getting together just trying to get our lives back. And we’re hoping with all this rally and freedom convoy going on, we’ll accomplish this.” (read more)

These are the results of a grassroots demonstration that has evolved into something far bigger than any of the organizers originally envisioned.  I am reminded of Pope John Paul’s visit to Poland in the ’80s, when the solidarity movement first glimpsed the size of their unity.  They took to the streets, looked around at the crowds, and realized for the first time there are more of us than them… and then things changed quickly.  Hopefully for the Canadian people this convoy protest is a similar inflection point in history.
