Pure class warefare: Ottawa smearing Truckers because we’re doing their job representing the People

The vast majority in attendance at Parliament Hill were not truckers at all. In Ottawa, at the protest and online, I have heard from many that it wasn’t even necessarily about the truckers or their particular beef with the mandates, but a general feeling of having had enough—enough of lockdowns and coercion, enough of lives interrupted, enough of masks, enough of families divided over the questions of vaccines, of children’s upbringings being marred by this psychological warfare.

The media, bless them, and many of the rest of those in their class—unions and other labor organizations, various government entities, and Canada’s political parties—had nothing to do with this movement, and they have no control over it. They were left out. They are viewed with disdain by the public, because they lost touch with the fact that people have had enough of this. What they call a “fringe minority” of upstarts did what they were supposed to be doing: representing the concerns of the many millions of people whose lives had been impacted by government overreach.

Canadian soldiers facing Canadian citizens? “Amazing capabilities, incredible risks” Chief Sloly warns Council

Chief Peter Sloly replied: “Thank you councillor. I spent a large chunk of my day out in Kanata yesterday talking with our public order commanders, and in fact at that meeting as we have over the last week we discussed the option of military aid to civil power. I’ve said it again we’re looking at every single option including military aid to civil power.

I’ve had those discussions with mayor, council members, the board, there is a process it’s extremely well established extremely well governed and extremely rare. The only two occasions that i’m aware of in the last hundred years was in the oka crisis and in the FLQ crisis one in the 1970s and one in the 1990s.

An American view of the Truckers’ Convoy to Ottawa

The convoy is being joined by truckers from all over the United States too, rising up in solidarity. This is easily the most meaningful and impactful protest to emerge in North America. It is being joined by as many as half a million Canadian citizens, who overwhelmingly support this protest, as one can observe from the cheers on the highway along the way. Indeed, it’s likely to break the record for the largest trucker convoy in history, as well as the most loved.

Trudeau, meanwhile, has dismissed the whole thing as a “small fringe” of extremists and says it means nothing to him and will change nothing. This is because, he says, these truckers hold “unacceptable views.”

Trudeau’s problem is not the Truckers; it’s the Canadians making sandwiches for the Truckers

Truckers have definitely been in the spotlight for the past week. However, politicians and media who make the mistake of believing Truckers are the most important part of the story are completely missing the point.

Truckers have done a magnificent job of giving voice to the frustration Canadians feel as we watch the things we love most about our nation get annihilated during the COVID-19 panic. Rights and freedoms have been systematically stripped away; even claiming the right to bodily autonomy has been deemed selfish.

Watch for undercover agents to cause trouble and blame the Freedom Convoy

The Trudeau government has been telling Canadians for weeks to expect trouble from the peaceful Freedom Convoy that has now arrived in Ottawa.

Of course, there is no evidence whatsoever that the Convoy is in any way dangerous. This was made up by Trudeau and his team.

Convoy organizers have been warned that undercover agitators have infiltrated their ranks, and have distanced themselves from comments made by these people.
