I have volunteered to meet the truckers in my city today. I also have 2 friends driving with the convoy - one from BC, one from AB. Here's what happened this weekend: The GoFundMe is over $3 million. Trudeau had GoFundMe freeze the account, claiming the money is going to fund terrorist activities. This is being fought. Highway cams have been turned off along the route, so the public can't follow it. CBC news articles claim the convoy is in protest of road conditions in Canada. You are being lied to. The convoy is leaving Edmonton today, it is 100 kms long. Truckers from the US are starting to come up now to join. Estimates 500,000 people, 50,000 trucks. Virtual media blackout on it, except for the lying reports by the CBC. Huge demonstrations all over the world this weekend, tens of thousands in Edmonton, Calgary, Vancouver, Toronto, etc. Again, virtual media blackout. Oh, and for some reason the weigh scales were open on the highways. On Sunday. Haha Trudeau running real scared.

This is preposterous, how could our Minister be neutral when dealing with China when he got a loan of that size to the Bank of China? He's a Chinese puppet. https://nationalpost.com/opinion/francois-philippe-champagne-bank-of-china-1-2-million-mortgage

It’s time for mass rallies across the country. End all restrictions immediately! Stop totalitarianism in Canada!

Yeah, me too. Trump has the huge negative of rallying the Dems to vote against him, and DeSantis has the obvious positive of helping to take the latino vote away from the Dems.

It looks like there will be a large truckers convoy starting in BC and rolling through to Ottawa to oppose Trudeau's vile vaccine mandates for the trucking industry. We are in for a rough ride as as many as 40k trucks will come off the road because of sock boys stupidity. https://canada-unity.com/bearhug/

If you’re going to drive a truck across the country, you should be vaccinated first. I don’t what is difficult to understand about that.

If I would rank all the countries in the world that are likely to take full political advantage of a situation like this I would put China at the top. Everything China does is all about gaining dominance over all other countries.

Things will get very interesting in 2022 and 2024. I can't wait. (Does anyone miss HB Lowrey?)?

Or Trump and Deutshebank That said - a NATIONAL bank is a different thing, which is why I asked what the stated conflict rules are

You don’t get it. The US mandate is wrong too. Trudeau and Biden are bedfellows and both are letting totalitarian approaches erode rights.

That article is a year and a half old. The Minister of Foreign Affairs is Melanie Joly. On Edit: Might be one of the reasons Champagne was demoted.

The bureaucracy knows only one solution for posing as "accountable" and "transparent": appoint another high level expensive restaurant munching bureaucrat with an outrageous compensation at public expense and see miracles happen.

Anything that you call revelations is obviously bullshit, just like the Russian collusion nonsense that you spewed for 4 years. I'm not really concerned about Giuliani and voting machines. There's no need to challenge you on that comment because it was just blatantly stupid. Do you expect me to be surprised, or rise to the bait, every time you regurgitate CNN drivel?

They were thanked a lot because they took risks when there were no vaccines. Now there are vaccines. Personally, considering the supply chain issues we are having I think this mandate is poorly timed. But that is a separate issue.

I just checked Alberta highway cams and there is one out on Hwy 16 at Sherwood Park and and one on Hwy2 at the Dunvegan Bridge but that's on the road to Peace River. How are they getting to Ottawa, cross country? So you don't bother to actually check the MSM articles yourself, you just believe any crap you are told about them. And you call others sheep.

No, it seems like the truckers are sticking together on this one, vaxed and unvaxed alike. They're not as easily divided as the rest of Canadians are.

One idea that's going to get harder for Big Pharma, the Resetters and their corporate shills looking to advantage control from "the pandemic" is this idea of consensus. It seems to require an insinuation of near unanimous scientific and medical support. That wall is getting chipped away and soon it will be torn down like the one in Berlin. Right now you'll still meet hardcore Prog resistance by personal vilification against anything like say Doctor so and so said the "vaccine is experimental and one of the things we don't know is how the immune system will react long term" or the increasing number of nurses noticing things like the large percentage of beds used not for vaccine patients but adverse reactions to the vaccine. (And yes I can post examples upon request.) This is making less and less sense as time passes because the number of medical and scientific experts noticing the current practices of dealing with the Chi-Comm virus and its variants haven't and don't work keeps growing. Here's an example: US Senator Ron Johnson (R-Wis.) is holding a panel discussion: COVID 19: A Second Opinion, this morning.

Authoritarian governments have problems in two cases: when they need to explain their arbitrary nonsensical policies intelligibly; and when the nonsense of their policies is being called into the open. No, can't stand that. And by the way, looks like we have lost independent and impartial free media somewhere on the way to the bright new dawn. What would be next?

I think a Trump/Desantis ticket would be unbeatable.

Someone is finding the investigation is getting too close to home.

A dysfunctional health care system doesn’t excuse the total violation of basic human rights and the elimination of liberal democracy. Incidentally, the ICU’s aren’t full in Canada, so there’s that. Fear of overwhelming the system and an actual overwhelmed system aren’t the same things.

Actually it is. Your vaccination status has nothing to do with your personal health. I suppose you don't think people who are HIV or HEP C positive should have to tell sexual partners either.

The protest isn’t about the vaccine itself. It’s about mandated vaccination.

Called the "Freedom Convoy", hundreds of truckers have left BC. They will pick up many more from each province, as they come across! https://www.cbc.ca/news/canada/british-columbia/freedom-rally-bc-jan-23-1.6324942 I know some good lads in town here, some of whom grew up to be truckers, I know they'll be filling 'er up for a spin up 416, send a message to them folks on the Hill. Hell, maybe I'm a renta truck, too.

What happens to them in those companies when they mess up? Immediate goners. If they don't make the grade, they're out. Next. In other words, there's a performance expectation in industry to make that kind of money. It does not compare at all to the situation in hospitals. Thus I postulate; once again your comparison is highly simplistic. Drawing false equivalency. IE bullshit, as you like to say. A liberal malaise for which there is no "treatment". Anyway sorry moderator. Back to trucks, et al.

Although Governor DeSantis says this: I think Ron will Run. I'm fine with either of them but if I had a primary vote, at this moment, I think I'd take DeSantis for the win.

The KKK wasn't trying to get blacks sent back to Africa, they wanted them dirt poor and shackled. SO misinformed. They weren't " drawing attention to racial divisions that already existed" when they lied about Micheal "Gentle Giant who just violently robbed a store" Brown for 6 months of violent rioting. They weren't " drawing attention to racial divisions that already existed" when they lied about Brionna, Trayvon, Rayshard, 3 years of rioting/looting/assaults/arson, etc. If you were any further off track you'd be out past Pluto.

because O'Toole is a boring commie

The tangents on this thread demonstrate Mr. O'Toole's problem. Why can't we discuss Mr. O'Toole instead of religion etc?

Hillary cheated 3x and only you don't know it: 1) Got debate questions from CNN 2) Rigged the primary against Bernie 3) Her lawyer, Michael Sussmann, was pushing bogus anti-Trump intel to the FISA court without disclosing the fact that he was working for his political opponent. Bogus intel that was obtained from...... Russians. Not in a colluding way, more like in a collusion type of way. There's a big difference, right? ? Cheating, cheating, and....... double-cheating. Is that 3 or 4 then? I'll let you decide.

The connection between "having covid" and "spreading covid" is well understood by everyone but you. I'm not going to get you stats for that ?

I just noticed that your account has been suspended. Toodles.

Covid 19 has changed us all for the worse. We are starting to see the results of what the globalist big pharma elite are doing to us. They are turning the world inside out and upside down. this is all just one big pharma globalist conspiracy and hoax but yet many will laugh at the thought that this is part of a major world wide conspiracy. In order to now try and get our lives back to the old normal days is that we must start to get rid of this medical covid tyranny medical madness or else things will only get worse. Our politicians will see and make sure that things get worse. The UK and Ireland have now got rid of all of their covid vaccine mandates. The people are free to once again be able to go into some business establishment without having to wear a clown mask, and there will be no more need to have to show a vaccine passport to be able to go eat in a restaurant. Only we the peasants can end this covid tyranny. Well? Refuse the boost. ?

The infringements on freedoms for the vast majority of Canadians are unprecedented in Canada. You’d have to look at Nazi occupied Europe for an analog. It was done also to Black slaves and in the resettlement of Indigenous. This business of requiring digital passports to enjoy basic freedoms, the state-mandated closure of businesses, restrictions on gatherings, and more is breathtaking in its overreach. It is totalitarianism.

"Discovery of mass graves filled with indigenous children! " is certainly attention grabbing. That was clearly the intent and to play up the white guilt angle in perpetuity. To be clear it was bad how natives were treated back then but time marches on. The vast majority of people today did not play a role in the poor treatment of natives back then.

Lauren Southern has made a lot of new enemies covering this story since it came out. She's all over Professor Rouillard QOC. So happy somebody else finally gets it. She video documents the tale from start to finish here: Not ONE Body Found in Canadian "Mass Graves" Once one knows the whole story one has to conclude the way the media desperately built something out of nothing is pretty shameful.

You are silly. You are just posting links about the claim not proving anything, resorting to name calling. The articles you posted... are cited in the link I posted. Where are the remains now?

Many people have taken the jab only because they didn't want to be relegated to a second class citizen-status. All for nothing.

I know there are some truly moderate Democrats out there(like Joe Manchin) but they get attacked by the media for not being progressive enough. The Dems getting the most press coverage are also some of the worst candidates out there, like AOC and the squad. Biden won't run in 2024 because he is clearly not up to the job mentally. It's scary to think that the Dems can easily field many candidates that would be even worse than Biden. Yes De Santis might be a very strong candidate.

Compliance at all costs ”I was just following orders”

1. Admittedly no - so they recently tried to bring down the hammer ? Weird

Not to mention that this country's food supply critically depends on the supplies from the South this time of year, at -20C. Is it just stupidity or deliberate raising of tensions by pushing a patently failed ideological agenda, when other countries are removing restrictions? I can't be certain any longer here.

Ok but why now?

What sock boy doesn’t get is that there will never be enough vaccinations to end Covid, because the continuation of the pandemic has nothing to do with the actual health impacts of the virus anymore. Now we have to contend with additional inflation of trucking costs when inflation was already soaring. Dumb and irresponsible policies that will only raise the cost of living. End these ridiculous and ineffectual mandates and restrictions immediately.

It's been abundantly clear government covid policy has been about destroying small businesses while corporations like Amazon and Walmart draw record profits

I agree with Myata on one point. Government salaries should not be indexed to inflation. They should be indexed to the average wage increase in the country.

Actually 14 new deaths were reported today in Ontario, but it's not clear over what time period and one hears about the general confusion between those admitted for covid and those admitted with covid. Here's another real important stat in Ontario that they seem all of a sudden shy to talk about: "Of those who tested positive, the Ministry of Health says 1,554 were unvaccinated, 386 were partially vaccinated, 9,255 were fully vaccinated and 387 had an unknown vaccination status." https://www.cp24.com/news/ontario-reports-14-new-covid-19-deaths-hospitalizations-up-62-per-cent-in-one-day-1.5728291 There was no hesitancy in producing that stat at the beginning of the Delta Wave when the unvaccinated to vaccinated ratio was flipped the other way around.

By standing by instead of taking responsibility as they were duly elected to do. But that is about to be rectified, hopefully, as Federal District Court in Washington just upheld a lawsuit by more than 20 Seattle businesses and citizens who justly claim there lives and businesses were harmed during the protests. "More than 20 businesses and individuals sued the city on June 24, alleging they suffered severe economic losses and were forced to live in fear and among filth for weeks when protesters took over several blocks not far from City Hall, and city officials effectively ceded authority and control to the protesters." “Plaintiffs plausibly allege that the City’s actions — encouraging CHOP participants to wall off the area and agreeing to a “no response” zone within and near CHOP’s borders — foreseeably placed Plaintiffs in a worse position than they would have been in absent any City intervention whatsoever,” Judge Zilly wrote. “Their allegations are also sufficient to show that the City acted with deliberate indifference to that danger,” he wrote." https://www.washingtontimes.com/news/2020/oct/16/seattle-chop-lawsuit-upheld-federal-judge/ I hope they win billions.

It does not make for good optics does it, but then again if Quebecor's would stop voting for these wingnuts we could say good bye to all these guys...

China has taken over the #1 spot as the most dangerous country in the world to do business with. At the time that he took out the mortgages it probably didn't seem like a big deal but it is now. He needs to get rid of those ASAP, even if it means that he has to sell his properties.
