These protests were and will never be about your “freedoms”. The fact that every one of you antivaxxers can’t be bothered to even grasp basic level science – despite having a wealth of knowledge at your fingertips – is why you’re summarily dismissed by anyone with one functioning brain cell that isn’t infected by stupidity, racism and any other -ism you can conjure up.
#March 1 truckers strike how to
A vaccine simply “teaches” your antibodies how to defend itself if you come in contact with the virus.This is basic middle school science. Well, perhaps you don’t know it but it’s clear you don’t want to know.
That is absolutely untrue and you know it. But anyone who participated in or promoted this convoy is guilty by association. The unruly behavior in Ottawa – the waving of Swastika and Confederate flags, dancing on the Tomb of the Unknown Solider, and desecrating the Terry Fox memorial – were shameful and were not the doing of truckers.
#March 1 truckers strike full
The true objectives of convoy organizers became clearer as they neared Ottawa and are now on full display. You became the rallying cry of an anti-government group whose ambitions went well beyond the reversal of the vaccine mandate.
You were taken advantage of, because you were frustrated and you have big, loud machines that can be quite disruptive. Unpaid detention time at shippers and receivers. There was never any discussion around the real issues you face every day. I feel bad for the truckers who thought this was about them. And if you think the Biden Administration is going to reverse that mandate over a trucker protest in Ottawa, well, that’s about as likely as the mass resignation of all our federally elected politicians in Ottawa. It matters little what you have to do upon re-entry when you can’t travel into the U.S. But the reality is, Canada’s arrival requirements for unvaccinated Canadian truckers are completely moot now that the U.S. 15 vaccine mandate, creating confusion and for 24 hours giving truckers false hope they’d be exempted. You’ve done your jobs safely for two years going back and forth across the border keeping our economy moving and our stores stocked, and were declared heroes as you did so.Ĭanada bungled the communication around its Jan. I understand the frustrations truckers feel over the border vaccine mandate, I really do. The trucks will remain until the document is signed, organizers said, dubbing its mission Bearhug. It essentially calls for the resignation of everyone within the federal government, the formation of a new government comprised of the Governor General, Senate, and members of Canada Unity, and the removal of all Covid-related measures – even those put into place at the provincial level. I opined it was an anti-vax, anti-mandate, anti-government, and possibly even pro-separatist movement that’s attached itself to the frustrations of a small segment of the trucker population.Īnd then Canada Unity, another of the organizers, posted a ludicrous Memorandum of Understanding/Manifesto on its website, which it plans to present to the Governor General of Canada. I couldn’t bring myself to call this a trucker protest. I received many calls from mainstream media outlets, asking me what the protest was about. GoFundMe froze the funds for a time until it was satisfied the money would be disbursed appropriately. It also brought a lot of attention to the fundraiser and the people behind it. How dare you question the motives of the organizers? Why don’t you support the revolution? How much money did Trudeau pay you to write such drivel? Take your jab and die. Prior to that role, she was active with other far-right movements such as Wexit Alberta – a party whose founder advocated for Alberta to separate from Canada and join the Trump-led U.S.
The principal fundraiser was Tamara Lich, the secretary of the federal separatist Maverick Party in Alberta. These weren’t truckers organizing a GoFundMe that at the time of that writing had yet to surpass $1 million, on the way to $8.5 million just a week later. I raised alarms early in a blog ‘ The murky matter of protests and the donations that drive them,’ when I noticed who was behind the convoy. And by the time the convoy rolled through Ontario it had already fully morphed into something much bigger – and more dangerous – than what truckers were ever told. It wasn’t about your rights to continue crossing the border unvaccinated. By James Menzies Janu who participated in a cross-country convoy culminating in protest at Parliament Hill this weekend have been duped into believing the convoy was about them.
