I'm kind of embarrassed that the truckers' Freedom Convoy protesting vaccine mandates started in Canda, not in the USA. Really, the "land of the free" is now a runner-up in standing up for liberty? It's mortifying.
But the truckers are the real story. The Canadian government's oppressive Covid mandates were ridiculous and insulting to the truckers. Quarantine when you drive back into Canada from the USA--really? Can you think of a more quarantined job environment than a driving a truck? Truckers are alone while they are working. Justin Trudeau, please write that down.
Truckers worldwide bring all of us, well, everything. Name any item in everyday life. If you eat it, drink it, wear it, want it, use it, need it, work with it or play with it, it most likely came off a truck. Truckers have the power to stop the world in its tracks, and it looks like they are about to do just that if they are not left in peace and freedom. Alaska started a convoy rally in support, with the US finally planning a cross-country "Convoy to DC 2022." And France and the Netherlands are but two European countries starting their own trucker convoys.
So Facebook/Meta can go ahead and take down the group pages. GoFundMe can freeze the funds donated to the Freedom Convoy. The radical autocratic lefties can pull every dirty trick in the book, but I don't think that's going to stop the truckers--or their supporters. They are in it for the long haul. It's about time.
