Canadian Truckers Roll In Massive, World-Record-Sized "Freedom Convoy" Against Vaccine Mandates and Passports

70 kilometers long!

The previous record was 5 miles/7.5 km long, so I'd say they have that beat.

Truck drivers in Canada are protesting vaccine mandates on their industry with a massive convoy that may break a world records.

"It's 70 km long," Benjamin Dichter, spokesman for the Freedom Convoy 2022, told the Toronto Sun. "I have seen footage from an airplane. It's impressive."

The Freedom Convoy left from Vancouver for Ottawa on Sunday to protest the federal government's vaccine mandates for cross-border truckers, which took effect on Jan. 15. The Canadian Trucking Alliance estimates that roughly 15% of truckers in the country are not fully vaccinated, or about 16,000 truck drivers.

Because the protest seems popular, the totalitarian leftist blackface enthusiast Justin Trudeau had to smear it:

Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau said participants of the protest are a "small fringe minority who are on the way to Ottawa who are holding unacceptable views."

"What we are hearing from some people associated with this convoy is completely unacceptable," he continued.

Video of this noisome ponce here.

What he's referring to are these DMs from a single trucker who called a black reporter "slaveblooded" and said that people who oppose the convoy -- "traitors" -- would "swing."

So, based on a pair of DMs from one guy, Trudeau (and the CBC itself) slanders a mass political movement.

Of course. Of course.

I enjoyed Conservative party member Pierre Poilievre's deft rebuttal to the CBC about this attempt to smear the convoy, noting the left, and only the left, always employs the tactic of smearing huge groups of people based on one or two people's statements or actions.

He also notes that the CBC itself has been accused of racial bias; maybe they all should be similarly thought guilty of racial bias?

He doesn't respond to Prime Minister Blackface.

H/t Soothsayer.

By the way, automaker Stellantis had announced a vaccine mandate, then delayed it until January, but now is scrapping the mandate. The pushback seems to be working.

For a long, long time, conservatives have prided themselves on being pro-freedom for business. We would support businesses doing what they wanted to do. The left would pressure businesses to take actions in support of the left -- and we would support whatever businesses did. Including taking actions in support of the left, if the businesses believed that would be the best business decision.

Obviously, this position has been a complete catastrophe and must be renounced, denounced, and reversed 180 degrees. We can no longer be the party who supports businesses no matter what they do, including denigrating and discriminating against conservatives.

We tried to be good friends and protectors to businesses and impose no demands on businesses, while the left demanded they throw us under the bus. So businesses repaid our kindness by deciding the path of least resistance was to drive right the fuck over us.

We went from "Don't Tread on Me" to "Please Use Me As Your Doormat and Toilet Paper."

That ends now.

Frankly, we must begin imposing our own political loyalty tests on businesses. We didn't want to -- we still don't want to -- but when we didn't, when we Let Business Be Business, they eagerly imposed all the left's political loyalty tests on us.

It's time to make businesses dance to the tunes we call. They've shown themselves eager to dance to political jigs; well, dance for us now, monkeys.

Dance.
