Jumpin’ Ju-Ju Bones, we shall have to dust off the happy dance shoes. The wrong thinking “fringe minority” have raised over $7.5 million [LINK] in support of their trucker Freedom Convoy. The Canadian freedom movement is representing very well.
As the first wave of the convoy rolls into Ottawa, we start the update with the patriotic voice of fellow Canadian and friend of the Treehouse, Mark Steyn.
.
Thousands of Canadians have braved brutally cold weather to stand on the side of the roads and highways for hours while cheering on the convoy and providing food, drinks and supplies for the massive logistical effort. It really is incredible to see the contagious cheers, flags, happiness and unifying smiles erupting after years of government doom, gloom and proclamations of the pending “winter of death.”
With horns a’ blaring, the leading edge of the massive truck and support convoy has started to arrive in Ottawa. The capital city is not known as a residential metropolitan area, but the residents who do live there appear to be happy to see the Freedom Convoy arrive. What a sight.
The truck convoys started from British Columbia in the west, Newfoundland in the east, and Windsor, Ontario in the south. However, cars, SUVs, vans, and small commercial trucks are now included in the massive convoy lines and joined with the big rigs. On every highway along the way crowds are cheering and waving support for the Truckers.

“We’re gonna take our freedom back.”
Amen. No question in his voice, no question in the hearts of all free people.
This is unbelievably awesome! The video where they raise the Maple Leaf high right in the middle of the Capitol is truly inspiring to the max. If that was happening here and I saw our Stars and Stripex being raised by the people over our Capitol I don’t think I could hold back my pride or my tears.
Go Canada! The truckers and the people! You truly are heroes!
Something in my eye, they seem to be watering.
You beat me to it! This really is emotional for freedom loving people all over the world.
Mine, too – all the way down here in Florida!
Awww! You so right. What a beautiful sight to see good hard working people who are just fed up as much as me & not going to take the illegal edicts & mandates from government any longer. God Bless all!
Giddy Up!!! Go Truckers!
Pound Sand. Heavy Police presence as truckers arrive in downtown Ottawa.

Sorry…..unless it directly relates to the topic of this thread, all music and movie videos always belong on the OPEN.
First in our prayers these brave Canadians!
Father be with them and guide them with all wisdom as they push back against the ones who would enslave them. May they stand firm in peace, love, and justice from You alone. For those in their midst who wish to cause trouble and bring these patriots into disrepute may they fall into their own snares. In Jesus’ mighty name, Amen.
Amen…
Amen !
Amen!
Amen.
Amen
Amen
Lovely prayer. Amen.
Amen!
Amen
AMEN.
Amen!
100%
I can hear those backup singers now, “Ain’t she a beautiful sight?”
The song Convoy was number 1 in Canada 46 years ago this week. What a way to reminisce.
Wake up the youngen”s and let them see what FREEDOM means!!!
Seriously? This week in 1976? That also happened to be the year of the Montreal Olympics and the US Bicentennial. The current events of those days seem to exactly mirror the governmentally created catastrophes of the moment. History rhymes again?
There are no conspiracies and there no coincidences. That song was number one on Saturday, January 24, 1976.
Now I don’t expect a convoy of tall ships to blockade the ports of Los Angeles and Long Beach, but if you recall in 1976 those tall ships made it to quite a few cities. At this point, I would settle for either the Merrimac or the Monitor to siege Washington. Or, one can take the Potomac and the other the Anacostia. 😉
Agreed, and I love stuff like that. That’s one way I like to think God speaks to His believers. But of course only He knows whether or not that’s true. Still it gives me chills, just as does the sight of Canada’s finest freedom fighters leading the way for the rest of us. God Bless you all in the Great White North!!!
I saw a comment on a video recently that said something to the effect that conspiracy theories are not just spoiler alerts! Ha! I loved it!
…are NOW just spoiler alerts, not NOT just spoiler alerts. Boy did I butcher that one!
The point is well made though. It is the truth
Not to worry–you make a mean cheesecake!
Ah hahahahahaha!!! I have my strengths and my weaknesses! Spelling: bad. Baking: good.
“So we crashed the gate doin’ 98
I said ‘Let them truckers roll 10-4!’”
Awesome sight to behold. Are they anticipating the same for DC hence the wall around the WH?
There are no words to describe what it’s like to watch this unfolding…. something in our lifetime that is full of promise and hope. So very grateful for all the coverage on this site – you’re giving this the attention that it deserves. This is truly monumental ~ people yearning to be free challenging an all powerful tyrannical government bent on total control. And there is something so poetic and powerful to see all these huge Trucks parked in front of parliment, home to the powerful elites. Honestly, I can’t find the words to describe what this is like, but just to express one more time an enormous thank you to Sundance for the ongoing coverage.
May the Lord prosper them.
And there’s also something so incredible to see all these huge Trucks that are normally on the road transporting everything we need to live our lives driven by men we hardly give a thought to, parked in front of parliment, home to the powerful elites.
There is not one freedom loving person in the World not inspired by the Canadian Truckers. They demonstrate everyone can make a difference…..one of many!
Just saw this posted on the next page by someone. It links to a page that lists contacts for trucker convoys in nations all around the world:
https://t.me/drawandstrikechannel/27430
This is a beautiful post. Thank you.
Great to see all the people out in support all over the country. Hope it brings some rational thought to both govs. The idiocy must stop.
Canada made room for the Lord at her founding. No left – leaning globalist government is going to change that fact. Our founding fathers gave us Psalms 72:8 and that scripture is engraved in our parliament buildings; along with other scriptures. “He (Christ) shall have dominion also from sea to sea and from the River (Euphrates) to the ends of the earth. ” That is the kind of DOMINION we want to be known for. A sheep nation. NOT DOMINION voting machines; placing tyrannical leaders in the high places of power through installation and not a true vote.
The landlords have arrived and the tenants are being evicted!!
Please God give us the strength, the courage and the fortitude to do what you would command.
Give US the power to Erase these evil POS from this earth and if not then reign Hell down upon them.
Rollin’, rollin’, rollin’
Rollin’, rollin’, rollin’
Keep movin’, movin’, movin’
Though Justin Castro Trudeau is disapprovin’
Keep them rigs a movin’
Tan Trudeau ‘s hide!
Don’t try to understand him
Just rope and throw and brand him
Soon we’ll be living free and wide.
My heart’s calculatin’
My freedom will be waitin’
Be waiting at the end of my ride.
From the Highways of Canada

And to keep our honor clean
We are proud to claim the title of Canadian Truckers Free.
Our Side of the Story: My Autonomy is Not Negotiable, My Country Is Not An ‘Opportunity for a Reset’, and Why I’m Going to Stand With The Trucker Convoy in Ottawa
“This essay is an urgent appeal to all the politicians, public health officials, policemen, judges, doctors, journalists, and to every single person in Canada and all around the world who continues to support mandatory public health measures, vaccine mandates, and coercion. I would like to give you a complete picture of what is at stake, from my perspective, so you can judge my decision to stand with the trucker convoy on Parliament Hill by reading my own words and not the distorted words of our mainstream media.
For two straight years the world has only heard your side of the debate. Now it is time for you to hear ours. It is time for you to recognize what you are doing, what you are breaking, the illiberal world you are creating, acknowledge the way in which you are using the pandemic as an opportunity to rewrite the economic and legal underpinnings of our society, and address the elephant in the room: are any of your heavy-handed measures actually achieving anything other than to destroy the fabric of society?”
https://www.juliusruechel.com/2022/01/our-side-of-story-my-autonomy-is-not.html
” the illiberal world you are creating”
Canadians have thrown off the shackles of two years of imprisonment. Two years of being oppressed has brought man and woman into a movement that is truly a once in a lifetime moment.
Countless groups have been formed to support each other as we work as community to stay strong in non compliance. Those groups were fundamental in getting informed out past the media. That is why the media is irrelevant. The truckers went straight to the people, and we mobilized en mass.
Anyone who has experienced this is brought to uncontrollably shaking tears.
DD
When the Truckers arrive, Justin will go into a rage, muster up all his remaining physical strength, and drive his right foot so far into the ground that it will sink in up to his waist; then in a passion he will seize his left foot with both hands and tear himself in two.
Wait a minute. IDK how Justine will do that.
From what I’ve seen and heard from him he has eaten both his feet several times over……
Actually, Like Joe, Justin suffers from two congenital conditions which, taken together make them medical miracles, and Drs are stumped at how they are even able to breathe, let alone live.
They have hoof in mouth disease, AND cranium in anus, simultaneously!
Its a miracle!
🤣🤣🤣
Rumpelstiltskin and all his progeny be dammed!
Bingoskin!
For decades I have always envisioned the demise of the Democrat Party as a Rumpelstiltskin moment’. Off in a puff of smoke and gone forever. They are nothing but bullies. Stand up to them and they fold like a cheap lawn chair. Let’s Go, Brandon. Truckers Rock!
They will probably play from that same book that has J6 prisoners in US prison.
Damn!! Proud to be Canadian. For my southern brothers and sisters: Action, Action, Action
As you should be. Lots to be proud of!
Gob bless every one of them! I never thought I would be so excited about anything that happened in Canada. This is big time!
Maybe our northern cousins can inspire some courage down south.
Exactly!
Although it’s happening in Canada, it feels like it’s lighting up the world. This is one contagion I hope takes off and spreads around the globe!!! I think it’s already starting.
So true Sarah. This is by design. Your nation blessed us with President Trump; now we want to bless you with our Canadian Mack Truck Convoy that is going to bless all nations.
Sweet.
So wonderful for you to acknowledge our true President, Donald Trump!
Thank you for blessing all of us with your Canadian Convoy!
Oh my word, what an incredible sentiment…. so full of grace….
THATS the thing; if the Truckers succeed here, its OVAH for the elites, Worldwide.
And, the elites KNOW that.
The Stakes could not be higher, this is the ultimate existential battle, two warriors walk on to the field, only ONE can survive.
The Canadians were over the top w/kindness and love for travelers that got stranded due to the skies being shut down
for 9-11. Friends of mine had been out of country to celebrate their wedding anniversary and were sent to holdover in Canada. It was a tough time, 9-11 is their actual anniversary date and then the trauma of the day, plus not being able to get home, or when it would even be possible. They will forever be grateful to the Canadians.
The Freedom Truckers are GLORIOUSLY exciting!
Nothing better than to see the common man (and women) standing up for and demanding their freedom.
I’ve never seen anything more impressive in my long life. It looks as if St Christopher has been with them in their long journey.
I pray God and His Angels stay with these heroic men as they hunker down for a lengthy stay.
And God please mercifully bless these trucker patriots’ families. Their worthy men have signed up to fight a war like no other.
Their families who are keeping the home fires burning have as well. May He be with them all .🙏
Yes.
Amen!!🙏
🙏 amen!
Amen
It would seem that all of the advanced weapons that have been created are not going to be as powerful as a convoy of trucks and freedom loving people backing it up. The oldest trick in war is about to be deployed. Surround the enemy, make their life uncomfortable, and hopefully, if this is played out correctly, send them out the door. If this happens here, it will happen everywhere. The people in charge of this charade are being put on notice.
Very important words in your post. All from a small population Country. The people of Canada are to be admired and thanked for demonstrating People can make a difference.
Does anyone know if GO FUND ME is Being honorable with the money raised so far?
I believe they’ve started to release funds, though how much and in what stages I am unsure. That they would dare to withhold even a penny of it is criminal.
The first million HAS been released by gofundme, and IS being distributed.
Thats according to organisers. So, gof*ckme is not playing silly buggers, it seems.
Thank you. I hadn’t seen an amount.
If GFM had stopped the acceptance of donations early on that would have been one thing, awful as it would have been. But they waited until the money was in the millions. Stealing from those who donated in effect. They could no less than fulfill the bargain of taking and distributing. I wonder if any lawyer s were involved in getting it released.
I believe some of the organizers have said that some of the funds are already being distributed.
/ sorry don’t currently have the link.
Last I heard, GoFundMe is using bureaucratic mumbo-jumbo to stall on releasing the funds. They don’t have a good reason other than claiming the funds must go to legitimate purposes.
I wonder if they would do that if BLM or Antifa was raising funds?
We know what.
Trudeau and his corporate minions leaned on them, no mystery. The fact that the little pantywaist is scared is the most delicious part.
The Prince in the Palace prancing and pacing in his knickers all in a tither is fun to think about.
There was a Catholic bishop born in Ottawa in 1886 named Cuthbert Martin O’Gara. A Passionist priest, he left his position as a seminary professor in New Jersey to perform missionary work in China in 1924. He served the sick and dying during the famine in China at the time, was detained for six months during the Japanese invasion of China in 1941 and suffered a torturous imprisonment under the emerging Communists in 1951. At his death back in the US in 1968, Archbishop Fulton Sheen eulogized Bishop Cuthbert Martin O’Gara as a dry martyr. While not canonized a saint, this brave and holy man is surely in the presence of Our Lord and asking for His blessings on the truckers who tonight fill the streets of his birthplace. Pray for the intercession of all the saints on behalf of freedom, conscience, and the safe passage of these truckers.
cool beans
sticking it to the man!
I’m just not sure what exactly this changes. The government elites don’t give a damn what the peasants want.
It’s not over yet. Let’s see what transpires over the next week. Truckers can shut down the country, literally. Most people have no idea.
Correct, oldschool. Who is delivering what they won’t be?
just hide and watch
Retired Magistrate here: What does it mean? It gives everyone hope that there is something you can do; get together with other like minded people and make a difference. Take off the masks, hug your family, friends and neighbors, live your life and be free! The time of bending the knee to government and living your life in fear is over. We are to bend the knee to GOD; not government.
What these magnificent truckers are doing is what free people do. GOD Bless them and keep them safe.
“How far that little candle throws his beams! So shines a good deed in a weary world.”

Well said, marcia.
According to a CBC report, this started out in far west New Brunswick, with,…wait for it 12 trucks, announcing their plans, and heading east.
When they pulled into the first truck stop, and saw HUNDREDS of supporters gathered in the snow to cheer them on, they were gobsmacked.
And it grew, spontaneously from there.
THIS is what happens with “cold anger” that Sundance writes about.
HEY, SUNDANCE! TIME FOR YOUR DISSERTATION ON COLD ANGER, AGAIN!
Amen
Well said.
They did this on short notice and with minimal planning. The capitol of Canada is under a non-violent siege by an army that has trucks and fuel for resupply and the support of the people in the countryside. They are very nervous. I will guarantee that almost every evaluation of the situation and planning ends with the government losing with the only variations being how long and how much political damage. If I were the government, and I certainly am not, I would try to ride out our Covid Pantywaist Variant (HT: Steyn) self-quarantine and see if they have dispersed when I come out. If they are still there, I would begin to negotiate a surrender while claiming victory. I may be wrong. The stupid possibilities available to the government are almost infinite and they have the resources to be infinitely stupid and cognitive ability to match.
It is not a question of not giving a damn. It is a question of their Political survival. Ever tried to lead a horse which all of a sudden refuses to be led? The dynamics all of a sudden change.
The big variable is how big of a whip will they try before they realize it is not working. Never underestimate the ability of government to do stupid things to acheive an impossible goal with others people’s money to finance it. I know the dynamics have changed and you know it. The truckers know it. But none of us matter. Does the government of Canada know it? If we are hoping they are smart enough to figure it out we might want to consider another strategy.
It doesn’t matter what the government does. What matters has the government lost control of the people? My guess, the turning point has been reached. The People have spoken and the ball is in the People’s court. It is up to the Politicians to play the People’s game.
Yep, our visceral hatred for Trudeau and our main stream parties is palpable.
I was with a fellow Canadian last night. He was born in Ottawa, and grew up in a Liberal family and was a CBC watcher.
He is a terrific guy, but was unfortunate in his place of birth.
I showed him the trucker convoys via you tube etc.
He was in tears with pride, he too now despises Trudeau.
Make a difference where you are, D. You have done just that with your mate.👍
I hope he won’t be the only one.
That’s the thing about clocks. They keep ticking until they don’t. Then you find out if you’ve got a bomb… or not.
Great analogy..
Okay. So the “peasants” should should stay home, get “vaxxed” and wear their muzzles. Do as they are told.
Everything!!!
Oh Canada!
Godspeed!
Fossil fuels deliver in sub-freezing temperatures!
Such a simple basic rule of reality that the brainwshed Greenies appear to have completely missed.
I honestly believe these people don’t think past the drawing board, GB.
You are probably correct, Betsy. Given the majority of their average ages that I have witnessed, it is very possible that they are mostly products of public school indoctrination who never learned how to think, much less think critically.
Oh amen on that! But I believe these people’s grandiose plans will always fail because they actually have such a high opinion of their “intellect” that they really can see no possibility of failure. The question they never ask is “what could cause my idea to fail. What are the variables that may interfere with my plans.” And the supreme question “what if I’m wrong”.
So yes, no critical thinking. A lack of it is a precursor to downfall.
IMHO you are spot on. There have been several discussions in previous Treehouse comments about the younger generations’ glaring overconfidence in their own insight and knowledge, and what has caused that, and what sustains it.
If I remember correctly, the general consensus has been that the public schools (AND leftwing-dominated colleges) rote memorization process of being indoctrinated with leftwing propaganda and narratives (on political and social topics) WITHOUT being exposed to reasoned discussion of ALL viewpoints around any particular subject, has brought about their inability to think critically, having been assured that they already had ALL the answers for all societal problems given to them by their teachers (brainwashers).
(with apologies for the run-on sentence)
Right on all counts. This is why I encouraged one of my teenage grand-lads to take a debate class. He did and enjoyed it very much. On my pick up runs we discussed strategy and points to refute. He learned a LOT, including thinking things through. I was sorry the class was too short. But it has made him employ his brain and to view with skepticism anything his teachers tell (not teach) him until he does that thinking and researching.
Your run on sentence? I understood it, primarily because I find myself doing the same. I have to reread and edit almost every post I make; and when I hit “post” I often feel what I’ve offered is a real word salad.😉
Betsy your posts are better than fine; mostly quite articulate.
Good on ya’ for coaching your grandson how to think critically and approach a topic by considering multiple perspectives. An alarmingly fewer young folks are able to do that anymore.
Look. at how windy it is! I can just feel it! Thank God for Fur coats and hats.
The people of Canada are showing the way. Now, in the U.S., LET’S TRUCK BRANDON! It’s a CAPITAL idea.
Thank You Canadian Patriots you have shown us all the way to end all this bullshit !!!!!!!
Please Lord, please give strength, courage and conviction to the Canadians fighting tyranny.
Oh, and Lord, sure would appreciate some of that down here as well. Our folks need it, too.
Wow, what a great sight. All those trucks, and it’s only the first wave. Overwhelming number of more trucks to follow. We stand with you Patriot truckers, do us proud. I have a great deal of admiration and respect for my Canadian brothers and sisters, stay safe, stay strong.
It just struck me that there do not appear to be any goons out on the street in opposition. If this were happening in the United States, I don’t think it would be like that. I pray it remains so (knowing that, of course, there are quite likely undercover people who have and will infiltrated). So amazing to see everyone in unison saying the same simple message: We want to be free.
Interesting observation, Sarah. A hopeful sign. One wonders if the military and police have told Trudeau he’s on his own. Now that would be something.
Goons don’t like cold
I was just about to say that. Scrawny, maggot infested goons are not known for their hardiness.
Yep the best street cop in the world is the cold and heavy rain.😎
Not a chance, the RCMP is so treasonous and filthy they make your FBI look honest. They will do whatever the Liberal Party tells them to do, legal or otherwise.
Not true..the lead sniper of Trudeau’s security team quit a few months ago over the mandates.
Mounties for freedom do not believe in Trudeau
Here is the link to the group Dekester referenced:
https://mounties4freedom.ca/open-letter/
I am thinking that even the most dense of the “goon” class would think twice before tangling with a truck weighing over 10K pounds OR the person capable of driving it…
Good point.
The ‘friendliest’ weapon, ever! Truckers could hold the whole planet hostage if they wanted to.
The police were helping them park.
Yeah, I saw that, but I’m still skittish. When I see the police actually stand with them, then I’ll breathe one sigh of relief. I put nothing past Trudeau and global powers that will do anything to retain their power.
https://www.mounties4freedom.com/
Nice!
Too cold for BLM and Antifa.
The FBI better be training up some big rig drivers if they’re going to try to infiltrate down here. The truckers will spot them in an instant.
I am praying for the truckers in a way I’ve never prayed before. This sh*t is now very personal to me.
My wife and I had been eagerly awaiting a Kansas concert. Because we live in Florida we don’t even carry masks in the car. Nobody ever asks anymore including our doctors. We drove two hours to our concert in Sarasota. As soon as we walked up to the front door I realized their were mask,nazis at the door. But it got worse. They told us we needed our Covid card and our ID. Needless to say, it did not go well. Not only would she not budge, the dozens of people that were close enough to see and hear my conversation were smirking as they learned that not only would I not be allowed in, but that I was going to lose my money. Smarmy sons of bit*hes, every one of them.
it was infuriating and humiliating. Had I not been so angry I would have tried to red pill everyone within hearing distance. I would have asked why all the vaccinated people also had to wear a mask even in their seats? Is that not an admission that the jabs don’t work? And if they don’t work why do I have to have one? But it was a losing battle.
Now I know what it feels like. I am ready for war. FJB!
.
‘Carry on . . .
They’ll be peace when you are done.’
Favorite song. Want it played at my funeral. Hope my wishes are honored.
I bet you get a hold of De Santis office and tell them what happened. You will get your money back and they will get fined .As I understand it there is a law on the books that address’s this there in Fl.
Biden, Obama and the rest of the regime should getting nervous about now
One thing about truckers—their job is logistics. They know how long it takes to get from point A to point B, what resources are needed, and where to find things!!
The Trucker’s Army is blessed!
When does the helicopter arrive to evacuate Justin.
Will Joe’s grant him asylum?
You don’t honestly think he is quarantining at home, do you?
I’d read that he’d left for climes nearer to his father’s homeland (so to speak). Wouldn’t be surprising.
I’ve heard that, too. From a Canadian on another blog.
What a sniveling little coward he is. Soros probably sent his personal jet.
I think he has been there for quite a while. If he had been into child trafficking, etc. he’s probably not here anymore.
No helicopter is coming for Turdeau. He is leaving via the sewers…
Pantywaste variant.
Our rotten occupant has pantywaste, too, from pooping in his pants.
Would love to be dancing in the streets of Ottawa with the convoy tonight.
The horn blasts heard around the world!
Mark just has a way with words as no one else I can think of. I’ve been waiting to hear what he has to say. It won’t be the last we hear from him.
Yes, Mark is smart as a whip and on the right side.
Mark is all over now except for Fox where he used to appear on Tucker’s show.
Go to his website and you can watch and hear him to your heart’s content.
I do frequently, Seneca. It is excellent. He is still fighting his own wretched legal battles unfortunately. But he is undeterred. A brave man and a powerful voice.
Mark Steyn is a scholar and a gentleman. Quickest and deepest verbal intellect I’ve ever witnessed. He’s at his best when goes on his unscripted thinking escapades. To debate him in any capacity would be a living hell lol. Lol, but seriously it would.
Look up The Munk Debates where he and Nigel Farage debated two Canadian Libs. I can’t remember the debate topic. I DO remember the Libs were pounded into the proverbial dirt. Made mincemeat of by Mark and Nigel.It was a thing of beauty to watch.
When to going gets tough the tough get going. Watch out Brandon this is heading your way soon.
Seems to be a tad too nippy for the BLM and Antifa protesters to show up. LOL!
From what I heard these trucks so far are just the leg from south, Toronto, London, Ontario..
The one from the west still has to roll in. I heard a report that when the front of that leg rolled into Ontario, the back was just making its way into Manitoba. The manitoba transcanada 1 is about 316 miles long.. So if that holds true its going to be slightly more than a 100 trucks 😀
Yes, a tidbit north of slightly!!!!
Just awesome and inspiring. We have the numbers when we decide to commit to putting a stop to the government overreach and malfeasance. I went to DC a year ago hoping for the same type of showing. Never imagined how that would be twisted around.
Mark Steyn always with the perfect description. Trudeau definitely a victim of the “panty-waist” variant. He’s so weak.
Go Canada truckers! Proud of your commitment and full support from here in the States. About time for us to do something similar.
That can’t be a protest. Nobody Is burning anything, looting anywhere or threatening anyone with or using firearms. Or am I missing something?
It’s amazing how all of the bravest people during these past two years have been ordinary folks. Like the elderly barber in Michigan or the gym owner here and there, or restaurant owner here and there, who stood up and refused to bow down. They put everything on the line, risked everything. Just regular folks who weren’t seeking any glory or time in the limelight, but they didn’t back down. Unfortunately, because there was no mass organization it was easy to target them, although I think the barber was victorious in the end. But just to say that, this kind of stance – a stance for freedom – it’s not coming from any of our elected officials. It’s coming from ordinary people who refuse to accept tyranny.
And now we have this massive trucker convoy unlike anything we’ve ever seen before. It’s organized and huge and has so much potential. I dare not even allow myself to feel too hopeful, knowing that those in power will do anything to hold onto power. But for now, for this day, and this moment, it is glorious beyond words.
Keep that small spark of hope burning. It only takes a sudden gust to fan it into a blaze. The breath of God just might do it.
Wise words that I’ll cling to!
It’s hard sometimes, I’ll admit. I’m remembering our much missed T Monroe on the Open Thread who posted Scripture. And the one which has always stuck with me was “Lord, I believe. Help my unbelief.”
It keeps my little spark going.
Thank you Betsy!
You are more than welcome, Dekester. My heart and soul are intertwined with every single Canadian. How could they not be? And of course with yours, D.
I’ll be very watchful of the protests in Australia. And Europe (especially in Austria) this weekend now that the Canadians have led the way. With affection, B
But for now, for this day, and this moment, it is glorious beyond words.
^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^ 🙂
The difference is a massive number of people unified in this protest, across an entire country, in numbers that truly make a huge difference in the message being delivered.
Yes, people doing small individual things and in small groups are to be praised and they send a message. However, people in large machines with support from thousands along the way and many more supporting by donating millions of dollars to the cause and sending food etc. along with millions of prayers in sub zero temps. is a whole other message. It resonates in a big way. It caught the fire of patriotism all over the world. That’s the difference.
America still has not unified nor done anything approaching what is happening in Canada this week. I wish we had done this at the same time as the Canadians. What a message to the world and to all oppressive govts. that would have been.
Thank you Canada for showing the world what a unified populace can accomplish. Keep going!
Agree 100%. I think so many of us for months, now years, were yearning for something to get organized, otherwise a random business owner here and there is low hanging fruit to easily target. But nothing ever materialized. En masse is key. And now it’s happening. And with big trucks, no less! A “unified populace” indeed. And, yes, keep going!!!
Karl was my husband’s barber when we lived in Owosso. He’s a true patriot. Not only did Whitchmer go after him, the young liberals there gave him and his supporters lots of grief. He stood tall and would NOT back down. Neither did his supporters.
I followed his story pretty closely and was really blown away by his resolve. He impressed me as you describe, a true patriot, and also a man of faith. And he was no youngster, but by golly, he was determined and held the line in the face of so much that was thrown at him. A true inspiration.
It is beyond “hope” and now a “reality”.
Our beloved Rush Limbaugh would be so proud of our neighbors to the north. Go Truckers! Go Canada!
It’s a BEAUTIFUL Sight Indeedy Doo Doo! Sorry, the cold air, diesel fumes, my eyes are watering all the way over here in North Central Arizona. Very Powerful stuff, this FREEDOM CONVOY!
Go ahead, trudope, have them all arrested…..I dare you!
.
So, the police come and arrest the truckers where they sit.
And their trucks stay sittin’ in the roadways blocking everything.
That can’t be too popular an outcome for muh authorities . . .
You CAN tow a semi. There ARE BIG tow trucks, capable of doing it. But towing hundreds, or thousands?
Good luck with that!
.
In the formation they are parking in, and with a very limited amount of semi-tow trucks (and, surely, some percentage of them are included in the convoy thus cutting the number available to an even lesser amount), the logistics of clearing out the tons of equipment involved in this is so beyond Justin’s pay-grade as to be laughable.
I imagine he is the type that turns bright red and stomps his foot, expecting that will move actual mechanical mountains . . .
Yep and Tow Truck drivers drive TRUCKS. The convoy has their own tow trucks, for the inevitable breakdowns etc.
Any I have met are hard ass living on the edge types, that would not mess with these “ big riggers”
Cheers!
I doubt very much if there are any available tow truck drivers who would show up. Asking them to do so would be the supreme fool’s errand..But then a Supreme Fool sits in the PM’s seat.
The big rig tow truck drivers are also ‘truckers’, doubt they’d be any help anyways!
Globalist Tyrant Trudeau Decries “Unacceptable Views” Of Freedom Convoy Supporters Protesting Canada’s Trucker Vaccine Mandate
https://theamericanreport.org/2022/01/27/globalist-tyrant-trudeau-decries-unacceptable-views-of-freedom-convoy-supporters-protesting-canadas-trucker-vaccine-mandate/
Freedom is unacceptable to tyrants….
Beautiful pictures. Good to see Steyn again. Also, I thought he became an American… 🤔
I love Steyn. Pantywaist variant, lol!
And on one of the videos, as the truckers are rolling in the voice-over notes, “Mr. Trudeau, I think the fringe element is in the mirror.”
At some point blood is gonna flow, whether it be the Truckers and their righteous followers AND/OR the PoPo of the Elite who will try to protect their Fascist Leaders from something that scares them more than anything. It is a bad word, a very bad word that they fear more than any other word.
Say it……FREEDOM!!! And it’s not just in Canada or the US……It is worldwide. T
The citizens of the World are fighting for their lives and the MEDIA NEEDS TO STRUCK DOWN UNTIL THEY STOP SPEWING LIES EVERYHOUR>
IF just a few of these pansy POS would be “removed” then we might see a spike in the truth being reported.
Just think if anyone of them had to think twice before broadcasting their lies knowing they might not make it home tonight!
That’s how Conservatives have to live so why shoudn’t the lying Left feel the same?
This is WAR.
Thor, I think peaceful protest will carry the day. We outnumber them by so much and right now in Canada the multitudes are showing up. I think this will spread and those liars will flee. I hope so. The course you describe may very well happen but I’m hopeful it won’t.
Good job Cannuks. I only wish that Americans had as much backbone as these guys to stand up for their beliefs.
Instead, we do it the civic-minded way – – writing our representatives and/or calling them in protest. Sarc/
Barely that.
It is not just the Truckers, but also the people standing on the side of the road in the cold along the way urging them on.
I watched a whole series of Canadian msm clips, earlier.
Lots of interviews with the supporters “Why are you out here?”
Unified and unifying message; yes, want mandates to be over, but beyond that, they want the DIVISIVENESS CAUSED by the mandates to be over.
Vaxxed, unvaxxed, they want it to be a personal decision, and are just fed up tired of the DIVISION.
And, this SAME message came thru, in most all the interviews, along with freedom, liberty, free to live our lives, etc.
So, just as this convoy sprung up spontaneously, this common message, REJECTING DIVISIVENESS, is spontaneously being expressed by many different supporters and drivers.
And that MAY be KEY; They are rejecting divisiveness, which is the main “divide and conquer” strategy of the leftists, with covid just being the excuse.
If the people ain’t falling for that ruse, anymore than it truly is over for the elites.
Dutch,
Excellent and oft-overlooked point. I have never cared in the slightest whether someone wore a mask or not. I also couldn’t care less if they got the jab. If they thought that was something they wanted, good luck and God bless ’em. Their choice. Not my decision, not my business. That is the American way.
However, when some damned busybodies decided I was going to HAVE to wear a face diaper and get the jab, that was where compliance came to an abrupt halt and mule-stubborn obstinacy kicked in. Not only no, but HELL NO, I’m not doing that, my family isn’t doing that and those who want us to can all drop dead. I told the people at my work that the day I was informed the jab was mandatory was my last day on the job, and that if they didn’t believe me, they could try me. I heard some rumblings later but they all went away, and I’ve never worn a mask or been threatened with a choice between the jab and termination.
Judging from what I’ve been seeing lately, I think everyone having any supervisory responsibility is quietly praying all this mandate garbage can just be given the Nelsonian blind eye until it dissipates. I know senior management were really happy with the SCOTUS ruling against OSHA. They are well aware that if they did try to force people to comply they would quickly lose a minimum of 40 percent of their workforce, and quite possibly considerably more. In the current job market, that would be catastrophic for them and they clearly understand that.
I think we’ve got the vaxxers on the run at this point. Now we need to pound home to everyone just how damned ridiculous their whole approach was from Day One. We DON’T want to go through this nonsense again.
Your wish may come true,

Brian clarified that some numbers “running around” on social media about the trucks joining the convoy are not correct.
“A post says 100,000 to 5,000. Those aren’t correct. Somebody made those numbers up. There’s no way for us to put a number on exactly how many United States trucks have gone over there.”
Speaking about the upcoming U.S. convoy, he said “it will start in California and it will end in DC and we’re gonna stay there, just like Canada is doing,” Brian said. “You’re gonna have your main artery … everybody will join in as they go down the interstate to DC.”
He added that dates and planned routes would be released soon on a website and various social media platforms, and a GoFundMe page would only be released on their CONVOY TO DC 2022 Facebook page.
“We’re done with the mandates, were done with the government telling us what to do, we will continue and we will follow just like the rest of the world on these trucker protests, and they will be 100 percent legal, they will abide by the law.”
We have the Constitution. Right now, it isn’t visible to us, but it is what is holding us together. And Donald Trump.
Wonderful, wonderful! I am so proud of these people. Now, when are WE going to do something in the USA?
I would be happy if someone would bust out our political prisoners.
Patience, Francis, just chill out.
Probably not until “Truth Social” has its bull horn.
