Justin Bieber...sorry Trudeau, has fled his home with his family even though no threats have been made against him. Reports have suggested he has gone into 5 days of self isolation for whatever reason.
At last Canadians - who have suffered some of the severest restictions on the planet - are saying NO to vaccine mandates. Approximately 85% of the truckers have been doubled jabbed but they stand in alliance with all truckers (we can learn from this e.g. NHS Staff).
He states that the truckers are "holding unacceptable views"!!! I guess that means that if you don't hold the PM's view it is "unacceptable". He also states it's a "fringe" movement. Well, if he had the balls to stay in Ottawa he could see for himself how "fringe" the protest is - circa 50,000 truck rigs!
The peaceful protesters have stated they will not leave Ottawa until the policy is dropped. It looks like we may have a siege in progress. Well done Canada.![]()

Truckers drove into the city on Saturday as part of a self-titled “freedom convoy” which began as a protest against vaccine mandates, masks and lockdowns.
Some parked on the grounds of the National War Memorial and danced on the Tomb of the Unknown Soldier, others carried signs and flags with swastikas and some used the statue of Canadian hero Terry Fox to display an anti-vaccine statement.
Protestors compared vaccine mandates to fascism, one truck carried a Confederate flag and many carried expletive-laden signs targeting Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau. The United States has imposed the same requirement on truckers entering their country.
The Canadian Trucking Alliance said a great number of the protesters have no connection to the trucking industry, adding they have a separate agenda to push. The alliance notes the vast majority of drivers are vaccinated.
Upstanding citizens, well to a few.
