The Canadian government under Prime Minister Justin Trudeau’s reinstated a requirement
that all truckers crossing the border be “fully vaccinated” against
COVID-19 by January 15.
However, the Canadians did not take this as the gospel.
Thousands of Canadian truckers will begin a nationwide
“Freedom Convoy” to Ottawa, starting next week, to
protest a COVID jab mandate for all haulers crossing the border.
“We are taking our fight to the doorsteps of our Federal Government and
demanding that they cease all mandates against its people. Small businesses are
being destroyed, homes are being destroyed, and people are being mistreated and
denied fundamental necessities to survive,” reads the “Freedom Convoy 2022” Go Fund Me page.
The truckers convoy lasted for about 72 kilometres or 45 miles, leading up
to the Parliament of Ottawa, Canada.
Trudeau did not like the protest. He cited that the freedom movement was tarnished by Nazi and racist sympathies.
However, one of the organizers of the convoy is an Indigenous woman, and
another is a Jewish man.
The truckers have
gain freedoms. Saskatchewan Premier Scott Moe has vowed to end the authoritarian COVID “vaccine
passport” system in place throughout the province.
