We Are All Canadian Truckers Now!
Guest Post by Ron Paul, The Burning Platform, Jan. 31, 2022

(Reposted in https://www.theburningplatform.com/2022/01/31/we-are-all-canadian-truckers-now/#more-258443.)
We all remember where we were when the Berlin Wall came down. While it may have seemed that communist rule would go on forever, when the people decided that they had enough suddenly the wall fell. Just like that.
Thus it is after two years of Covid authoritarianism that in Canada the largest truck convoy in history has smashed through the Berlin Wall of tyranny. I have watched as the Canada I once respected as a haven for antiwar Americans in the 1960s turned into one of the most repressive countries on Earth. I wondered how a freedom-loving people could allow themselves to be abused by these mini-Stalins without a peep.
But then Canada stood up and showed the rest of the world that freedom can triumph over tyranny if the people demand it. As I say, no army can stop an idea whose time has come.
Canadian prime minister Justin Trudeau had been basking in his ability to terrorize the population in the name of fighting a virus. He was so confident in his seemingly unlimited power that he felt he could ridicule any Canadian with different views. The prime minister said in a recent interview that unvaccinated Canadians were “extremists,” “misogynists,” and “racists.”
When the Canadian truckers stood up to his tyranny and began their historic convoy to Ottawa, he thought he could continue ridiculing people. The truckers and their supporters were just a “small fringe minority” who hold “unacceptable views,” he confidently claimed. For Trudeau, love of liberty is just an “unacceptable view.”
Less than a week later, as tens of thousands of trucks began entering the capital with millions of supporters behind them, the “brave” Canadian prime minister had fled the city and shuffled off to an undisclosed location.
As Elon Musk Tweeted, “It would appear that the so-called ‘fringe minority’ is actually the government.”
The Canadian mainstream media is obviously just as obedient to the regime as ours. They ignored the Freedom Convoy for as long as possible. There was almost no reporting. Then, when it became impossible to ignore, they began to attack and ridicule instead of trying to report it accurately. It was disgusting and almost comical to see a “reporter” from the Canadian Broadcasting Corporation suggest that the Canadian Freedom Convoy was cooked up by Putin and the Russians! (1)
Thousands of trucks have arrived in Ottawa. They demand an end to covid tyranny. They are backed by millions of citizens, who braved the Canadian winter at night to cheer the truckers on.
This protest is so important because it’s not limited to Canada. The truckers are being supported worldwide, and a similar convoy is being planned from California to Washington, DC. In a US where grocery store shelves are increasingly bare, the truckers have more leverage than the powers-that-be would like to admit.
If I were prime minister of totalitarian Australia or New Zealand – or most anywhere in Europe – I would be getting pretty nervous right now. Just as the Covid tyranny descended across the globe in a seemingly coordinated fashion, now that the Berlin Wall of the tyrants has been breached, it’s just a matter of time before the shockwaves are felt far and wide.
We owe a debt of gratitude to the Canadian truck drivers. Let’s all do whatever we can to help the freedom movement continue to gather steam!

Questions
Simon Parkes Blog, Jan. 31, 2022
(https://www.simonparkes.org/post/questions)
Will the Canadian government resign as Trucks block city?
Will Truckers travel on to DC?
Will this cause Biden administration to collapse without a shot fired?
Will constitutional action with demonstrations bring about the end of tyranny?
Or does the military have to become overt?
Prime Minister Trudeau addresses Canadians, accuses truckers of vandalism, etc.
The more likely probability is that these acts are by agents provocateurs, providing an excuse for the state to intervene.
Truckers clean the statue that state agents probably defaced

‘Government Overreach Is Coming to an End’: Massive Truck Convoy Heading to Washington After Ottawa
Enrico Trigoso, Epoch Times, January 28, 2022
(https://www.theepochtimes.com/government-overreach-is-coming-to-an-end-massive-truck-convoy-heading-to-washington-after-ottawa_4242750.html)
American truckers protesting against vaccine mandates and government overreach have been joining a record-breaking Canadian convoy of tens of thousands of vehicles headed to Ottawa.
Brian Von D, the administrator at “Convoy to DC 2022” announced that they will “join forces” to ride from California to Washington, adding that “America is next.”
“As [the Canadian convoy] moved from the west to the east, [the American truckers] have been filtering into this convoy, and it is absolutely massive. It is known worldwide, it is the largest thus far,” he said in a live video on Facebook.
Tens of thousands of vehicles were reported to have departed from all parts of Canada.
A large number from the United States have been joining along the way.
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.”
Brian added that nobody has been kicked out of the convoy so far for failing to abide by agreed-upon terms.
“It’s been a unity that I’ve never seen before, not anywhere in the north. Canada has definitely shown that—the most peaceful protest in the convoy I have seen to date,” Brian further stated. “America, it’s your turn, it’s your turn to step up and show what you’re made of.
“We don’t care what side you’re on, we don’t care where you’re from, if you live in America, in Canada, or anywhere you may come from, we’re doing it for you,” he said.
Businesses of different sizes, as well as families in the two countries, have helped the convoys with food, shelter, and gas.
As they passed through different cities, videos on Facebook show they were greeted with long rows of people cheering and holding Canadian flags, with some shooting off fireworks.
He added that they’re also doing it for the trolls that are disrupting their various pages.
“We’re actually doing it for the trolls too. So they can work and live their lives too. So it doesn’t matter. We love you all. America, it’s time to stand up. Welcome to the finale of the show. We love you. God bless you.”
The massive event has seen little reporting so far by the corporate media. Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau called the “people who are on their way to Ottawa” a “small fringe minority” that is “holding unacceptable views” during a press conference on Jan. 26.
He then announced on Jan. 27 he came into contact with someone infected with COVID-19 and has gone into self-isolation.
He told The Canadian Press that he tested negative, feels fine, and has no symptoms.
Not Essential Workers
Brian said that during the pandemic, truckers were not able to pull in to eat or shower freely due to their not having been considered essential, and didn’t receive funds or stimulus checks.
The government has “completely extended their arm and their reach to control for far too long and far too easy and made money off of you. To tell us what to do.
“We elected those officials in, now it’s time to elect them out. It’s all by design so you can see the corruptness and you’re awake to it. There is no hate in this group,” Brian added.
“The government overreach is coming to an end, and this is how we do it.
“If you go back to America, in 1776, it took one shot to be heard. The British came over, an entire army came over. And it was villages that beat the British, an entire army,” Brian noted, “Well, we don’t do it that way anymore. It’s not violent like that anymore.
Brian added that they “had a plan” that “has worked to a T.
“All you do is get in and drive and be a part of something that is now making history that will be in the history books, it will forever be known in 2022 that you are part of this worldwide movement. You, not us. We’re together with you. We’re just the voices to get it out.
“One voice can be heard worldwide. And that’s through you the people.”
International Support
More U.S. truckers joined the protesting efforts after the creators of Freedom Fighter Nation, Attorney Leigh Dundas and her paralegal and personal assistant Maureen Steele, started organizing in the United States.
“Our wonderful country is mobilizing! People who have been numbed and stunned over what has transpired over the past two years are waking. They are now doing and we are coordinating and moving in an intentional manner,” Steele told The Epoch Times.
Steele said that Australia is mobilizing its own convoy now, and more rally points in the United States are being established, with thousands to attend at each one.
“We are taking our country back. Make no mistake, we the patriots and freedom lovers are the majority. The 20-25 percent that want socialism or communism that is the MINORITY. It doesn’t matter right now who is left or who is right, none of that matters if we lose our freedom. Freedom is a banner we can all rally under. Liberty crackles through all of our veins.
God bless our Canadian brothers and sisters for reminding us we are fighters! Thanks for the nudge. We are awake. AWAKE. I saw a post on a Canadian site that said ‘you woke the sleeping lions.’ Well, America just got a wake-up call from our Canadian neighbors, and guess what? I’m putting the world on notice. They woke the fire-breathing dragon!!” Steele further noted.
Other countries such as Brazil have organized their own convoys, expressing solidarity for the cause.

I’m under the impression that GoFundMe has since released the truckers’ funds. However alternate ways of financially supporting the truckers are included so I leave that discussion in.
Canadian Truckers Making History Protesting Vaccine Mandates
Nicole S. Murphy, The Pulse, Jan. 27, 2022
(https://thepulse.one/2022/01/27/canadian-truckers-making-history-protesting-vaccine-mandates/)
A historical event in the making. The Truckers Freedom Convoy started on the West Coast of Canada and is headed to the country’s capital city of Ottawa to protest against COVID vaccine mandates. The main convoy of trucks is rumoured to have broken the Guinness book of records for longest convoy. There are varying reports across social media that it stretches between 70 to 100 kilometres long, with around 11 thousand trucks.
This movement is more widespread than the main convoy. Truckers from all over North America are heading to Ottawa where they will converge on January 29, 2022 to support this movement. It is unknown how many trucks will be in the Canadian capital, some estimates are as high as 100 thousand, while others guess around 35 thousand.
Help: Our team is in Ottawa to continue covering the Freedom Convoy on the ground. Can you help us with travel expenses so we can cover this first hand? Be the next person to support The Pulse’s independent journalism by donating today. Click here to Donate.
Originally this convoy was started to protest the mandated legislation on January 15, 2022 that made the COVID vaccine mandatory for truckers crossing the border between the US and Canada.
That being said, there are truckers like Chris Barber that say the goal is not just about getting mandates for truckers removed.
Chris Barber
In response to the convoy Prime Minister Justin Trudeau has said,
“The small fringe minority of people who are on their way to Ottawa who are holding unacceptable views, that they are expressing, do not represent the views of Canadians who have been there for each other. Who know that following the science and stepping up to protect each other is the best way to continue to ensure our freedoms, our rights, our values as a country.”
This “small fringe minority of people” has raised over 5 million dollars to support those on the trip in a very short time. Plus, there have been thousands of people lining the streets, and overpasses cheering these truckers on throughout the entire trip.
Unfortunately the official GoFundMe account set up by organizers, Canada Unity, is frozen and no money has been able to be withdrawn.
Steve: I think this has now been shown to be a routine GoFundMe assessment to ensure the money is not crime-related. The money has now been released, the last I heard.
In an email to the Toronto Star, GoFundMe a spokesperson said:
“We require that fundraisers be transparent about the flow of funds and have a clear plan for how those funds will be spent. In this case, we are in touch with the organizer to verify that information,”
Rachel Hollis, a spokeswoman for the crowdfunding platform.
A major reason the money has been collected is to pay for the cost of fuel which can be around $1000 a day for each truck. Since they can not access the funds from the GoFundMe, the organizers have had to set up new ways to collect support.
Two ways include:
To send money via etransfer that goes directly to those on the ground, use this email address, [email protected]
Another option to help support is to ‘adopt a trucker’ at this website:
http://register.adopt-a-trucker.ca
This is for people who can offer food, accommodations, showers, and other necessities. There have been amazing accounts of Hutterite colonies making food for the truckers in support and other ways people have helped along this journey.
Myself, I am headed out on the road starting Jan. 27, 2021 to Ottawa to report on what is taking place and have eyes and ears on the ground.
You can follow that journey on our Pulse instagram @thepulse_one and/or my personal instagram @nicolesmurphy
Update Jan 27th 2022: GoFundMe has agreed to release $1 million of the funds raised.

The Revolt Begins
Guest Post by Jim Kunstler, Burning Platform, Jan. 31, 2022
(https://www.theburningplatform.com/2022/01/31/the-revolt-begins/#more-258445)
The Canadian trucker rebellion, rolling east across the vast, frozen Canadian prairie, blew into the country’s Woked-up capital city, Ottawa, like the scalding wrath of history, forcing Prime Minister Justin Trudeau to skulk off punkishly under cover of night — after bad-mouthing the big-rig invaders as “a fringe minority” in a nation of otherwise obedient hypnotics sleepwalking into Big Pharma’s spike-protein fun-factory of all-causes early death.
The news media is working super-hard to avoid reporting the event, of course. Canada’s leading paper, The Toronto Star, put up a peevish little item complaining that a protester hung an upside-down maple leaf flag on a statue of national hero Terry Fox (a cancer-stricken athlete who ran across most of the country on a prosthetic leg in 1981 to raise cancer-awareness). The paper also mentioned that “[a] discordant symphony of truck horns blared across downtown Ottawa as demonstrators geared up for their second full day on local streets.” Beyond that, the paper lost interest.
Canada under the Trudeau government has been more restrictive on Covid-19 than the Big Gorilla to its south, with the population compliantly following all the insane, economy-wrecking rules, until a recent mandate to vaxx-up every last trucker in the land finally sparked-off a revolt. Mr. Trudeau’s Liberal Party failed to win a parliamentary majority in last September’s federal election, and he heads a flimsy coalition potentially facing a no-confidence vote that would drive the PM out of office.
For now, the truckers seem determined to stick around and disrupt the Canadian capital. Their estimated 50,000 rigs could surround the city and create siege conditions, where food supplies and other goods won’t get in, starving the government into surrendering on its mandates and restrictions. So far, the local Ottawa police have stood by with a very light hand, and there are rumors that they are on the same page as the truckers against federal overreach.
Will Mr. Trudeau resort to using the military to break up the revolt? Good luck with that. Like virtually every other “advanced” nation, Canada depends on trucks and truckers to move everything needed for everyday life. The truckers can just say no… we don’t feel like working this month. No poutine or Cornish pasties for you, Ottawa!
Then what? Throw them all in jail? How will that help move stuff from Point A to Point B? It kind of looks like they have Mr. T over a Molson barrel. For now, it’s a stand-off, but it looks to me like the Prime Minister must resign and whoever takes charge next will have to rapidly rethink the country’s entire Covid-19 policy in a not-insane direction.
The Canadian revolt appears to be inspiring similar operations in the US, where a movement has started for a massive trucker convoy from California to Washington, DC — the swampy pivot-point of Covid tyranny under the phantasm known as “Joe Biden” — as a very general way of saying we’ve had enough of being pushed around by political grifters and their bureaucratic subalterns.
The Covid-19 saga gets darker every day, while the official alibis, cover-stories, and disinfo ops bend ever deeper toward an arc of criminality. The US government has lied about every plot-line in the two-year horror show.
In fact, a conscientious observer would have to conclude the following: That the government’s highest-paid employee, Dr. Anthony Fauci, led surreptitiously in the creation and release of a bioweapon; that he and his cohorts, along with the pharma companies, and other interested parties such as the Bill and Melinda Gates Foundation and the World Health Organization, enabled the release of so-called “vaccines” (genetic treatments) that were at least as deadly as the disease itself; that as a result of the shots many people of all ages will die before their natural time; that the process is already underway as documented in the all-causes death data tallied by insurance companies; that the same government officials maliciously suppressed viable, inexpensive, FDA-approved treatments for Covid-19 in order to herd the populace into receiving dangerous “vaccines”; that said officials have worked strenuously to muddle and fake the statistics that would show who is actually dying of what; and that the entire fiasco appears to have been ginned up in order to systematically control the population in ways contrary to our natural rights while killing off a substantial number of us.
Let the trucks roll from Fresno to DC if they still want to play rough. Think the “Joe Biden” gang will try to divert attention by starting a war in Ukraine? They don’t dare. Think the financial markets will tank? Well, of course they will, no matter what, because the markets and the money are detached from reality. Face it: what America needs most of all is to reconnect with reality, and you can be sure that the process will be uncomfortable, having sojourned so far from it for so long. (“Let’s Go, Brandon!”) And Let’s go, Canadian truckers!
