Freedom Convoy 2022
 
Sorry but this is a part of history. If you take this down you're no better than Facebook and Youtube and the Canadian government trying to censor and cover this up.

I admit I got a little heated and got carried away with my language. I'll keep this civil. But this is something happening WORLDWIDE and is a piece of history. You simply can't ignore this.



Anyways, police are making whatever arrests they can. While some are just order-following goons, there are a lot of em out there that hate doing this and some even quit.

Citizens are currently sneaking fuel in to the truckers and some cops are either returning the fuel or choosing to look the other way on it. They do what they can but they have to stay neutral.

Rumor have been said last night that riot police are on their way, that remains to be seen.

I notice, not one articular about it on CNN. Like it's not even happening. Probably easier than pretending its a bunch of nazis.

What will the truckers do once they are shown the barrel? As far as I'm aware, most are not combat ready.

This case is the perfect example of not trusting big media and going to alternate media for the real scoop.

Last night on a live steam some people admitted to being interviewed (while hiding any logos of what news station they were with) and when they were unable to get the guy to say he was antivax or antimask or part of any movement for that juicy soundbite for their narrative and would lose all interest when they couldn't.

Just not work. They can bring the country to a standstill. All truckers are in on this. If they shoot and arrest em, noone will take their place that won't also continue the protest.

Sumac 02-08-2022 02:55 PM

Its kind of strange to suggest that truckers are "privileged" and that BLM was aiming to help anyone, but grifters at the head of its movement.

Leo656 02-08-2022 03:55 PM

Don't forget, if you lean Conservative you're Secret Gay. Apparently. :lol:

I've been saying for over ten years, we need to just stop letting new people in here.

You weren't alone. Both sides need to knockoff the name calling and "insinuation". Despite the arguably historic nature of this protest I will take action again if need be.

Coola Yagami 02-08-2022 04:15 PM

Ok guys, so let's keep it civil and stick to reporting news and updates and overall opinions without insulting each other.

Again, I admit, I was an asshole there, but I'll keep things civil from my end.

Update- lots of truckers are losing their social media. These guys are trying every dirty trick in the book. Rumors that they might cut all phone and internet service in Ottawa to bring ire towards the truckers.

I think I woke up to a HLN report ("The Robin Meade" show, maybe?) on it this week and she was talking about how it was an illegal gathering and mentioning "reports" (uncited) of various people being intimidated by the convoy folks.

Maybe they were afraid of the free burgers and sausages they were grilling, or the bouncy castles were too scary lol

Gotta love Fake News Media.

Basically the same reason why any protests and demonstrations are banned in Russia. Except demonstrations and celebrations, which support Putin, of course.

Its like certain people believe that COVID can somehow differentiate between people on their side and everyone else. So much for "logic and science".

CoVid is barely a thing anymore. All these huge gatherings for 11 days or so straight and no one's gotten sick.


In other news, it's now official almost if not all tow companies in Canada have refused to tow any of these trucks. There's not much anyone can do now. Sure, use violence and arrest them, the trucks will just be left lying around clogging up traffic and bridges and whatnot. No one will be there to move them. This is a case where literal ALL TRUCKERS are in on this. If the police arrests them, which they can't get them all, they're shooting themselves in the foot since there will be no one to deliver anything. The police themselves will be ****ing up their own groceries.

Coola Yagami 02-08-2022 07:38 PM

Alberta is dropping mask mandates for kids at school as of midnight tonight and proof of vaccination is also ending there. It's starting to happen guys.

Apparently America is taking notes and might start doing the same, though they'll never admit it was due to the truckers in Canada.

Facebook has been taking down any type of posts relating to possible truck convoys in America too.

Andrew NDB 02-08-2022 08:16 PM

Basically all the blue states are getting ready to ease back all COVID mandates... just in time for Biden's state of the union where he can announce he has defeated the virus. They're all in on it.

Or more accurately they will just sense the movement and onboard with it. Not an honest or genuine thinker among 'em, other than the ability to find ways to destroy lives, cancel and blame.

Coola Yagami 02-08-2022 08:33 PM

Volunteer firemen have been giving fuel to the truckers.

Apparently some of Trudeau's top security are resigning with disgust. Several cops have quit, they did not sign up to mess with old people that aren't really doing anything wrong.

Leo656 02-08-2022 08:35 PM

Yeah, like I said elsewhere, over here Murphy got re-elected (nobody really believes it was legit; it's NJ, it's pretty much an open secret that the "Italians" pick who gets to be governor) by promising to extend the mandates and restrictions and all of that. Now he's gone completely the other way, talking about getting rid of all the mandates and saying "It's time to send kids back to school, without masks." He says people should be left alone if they WANT to wear masks but that nobody should be forced to anymore.

My gym went back to mandatory masks for like two weeks, until Murphy officially said it wasn't mandatory anymore, then it stopped. You see like two or three old/fat people at the gym still wearing them, but if given the choice it's pretty clear everyone is over it.

As one might predict, the super-left and scared of their own shadow types are like, "I don't knoowwwwwwww... I don't feel safe yet!" :roll: Some of the parents are screeching "They're trying to kill our kids!" by saying they don't have to mask in schools, meanwhile 1. Most of the kids are not wearing N95 masks anyway, and every single "expert" has now openly admitted that all other masks are f*cking worthless, and 2. I forget if it was 12 or 18, but that's exactly how many people under the age of 18 have died in NJ from Covid since this whole ordeal began two years ago. 18 at most, ALL of whom had serious health issues which meant they probably wouldn't have lived much longer anyway. So no, they're NOT "trying to kill your kids". Morons.

It's s l o w l y all coming around. NOBODY signed up for this sh*t indefinitely, and after two years people have had enough. Especially now that it's endemic, and the secret's out that only the fat and the old ever had anything to truly fear in the first place.

I seriously think it's all thanks to Spider-Man. :lol: Millions of people "risked" going to the movies for the first time in years, packed the theaters, many of them went multiple times, and nobody got sick or died as a result. I mean, after THAT what more can be said? If this thing were as dangerous as we've been led to believe, that would have been a "super-spreader event" the likes of which we've never seen. When that didn't come to pass, people finally realized, "Oh, yeah, I guess it's actually not that dangerous out there."

Like I've been saying since the beginning, you can lie to people and program them all you want, but when they see with their own two eyes what's really going on, everything else goes out the window.

The greater problem becomes, the public trust in the mainstream media has been irreparably broken by this entire ordeal, to the point where I feel like "conspiracy theorists" and people who insist on getting their news from "alternative sources" - and the sometimes nutty things they come up with - are only going to get worse and dig in deeper. Because what's the alternative? Believe what they say on TV? You can't. We've SEEN that play out in real time. So... now what?

And I assume, pardon my lack of knowledge of Canada laws, if someone else, but truckers will try to remove them, they might sue those people and services.

I wouldn't be so haste to proclaim that no-one got sick, but the problem is with the amount of lies from pretty much every single side involved, it is impossible to discern the truth. As such, does it really matter anymore?
Basically everyone for themselves now.

True but you don't exactly hear about tons of truckers rushed to the emergency room due to CoVid. They're either not getting sick or not getting sick enough to stop.

I'm watching a livestream, one of the truckers made the remark that it's funny how everyone is wearing masks and keeping 6 feet away from each other, and they still catch CoVid, but they got hugs gatherings with hugging and dancing and whatnot and nobody is getting sick.

The cops are apparently turning against each other, basically the ones that blindly follow orders and the ones that are like 'yeah, this **** ain't right' and turn in their badges or ignore the truckers.

Kind of hope this happens if arrests start.

Step 1: Get your trucks out there.
Step 2: Get arrested and truck cant be towed.
Step 3: no one is willing to tow.
Step 4: Sue due to the policy that caused the arrest.

They will be getting it from both sides at that point.

I hope they block all the bridges when they leave the trucks behind. Block everything for as long as possible since no one is willing to tow.

Not a bad strategy, really. As long as all parties commit.

Mayhem 02-09-2022 04:01 AM

From the news reports here, from a variety of stations in the UK (so across the general political spectrum), no one in Ottawa wants them there and they all want them to leave. That's the only solid jist I get.

Maybe I don't get the point of the protest? There's no general loss of freedom, Canadians aren't being detained and tortured for not following the rules (unlike say China) so it all feels like a big excuse to **** some **** up because they can.

As for Covid infections, well no one has reported anything on that, so you can't say for definite there's been none, because probably no one actually knows or has investigated it yet.

Leo656 02-09-2022 04:39 AM

All protests are stupid.

But if a bunch of morons can go smash windows and light fires because some junkie who once tried to shoot a pregnant woman in the stomach died in police custody (and F*ck That Guy Forever, by the way), because he just so happened to have a certain skin color that made him a convenient victim for the media's purposes, then these guys can have their fun too as far as I'm concerned. They have an infinitely better reason to stomp their feet and whine, at least. So good for 'em.

I have the good sense not to live in a country where they put beavers on the f*cking money, so it's no skin off my ass.

Mandates man. The country forcing you to put something in your body that you don't want or else you lose your job and get ostracized from society. You can't even fly out of Canada without your stupid vax papers. These guys are standing up against this two tier society people are trying to create. Plus Canada has been basically under lockdown for two years. It's time to stop.

It's simple. Drop the mandates or the truckers will bring the entire country to a halt. And once they do, other countries will point the finger to Canada's freedoms and will be forced to do the same. The government has had too much fun with the pandemic. All these mandates and restrictions will not end until we stand up as citizens and make them end.

And aside from the news lying as usual, the only people that don't want the truckers there are the tyrants in power and the sheep that don't care because it's not effecting them yet.

Well that’s not strictly true if this Canadian transport union post is anything to go by :

https://teamsters.ca/en/blog/2022/02/07/the-real-enemy-for-truckers-is-covid-19/

The US had set the vaccine mandate for truckers in motion, so Canada followed to be consistent across the border. But the US has rolled their plan back, and Canada hasn't. I am presuming that’s the gist here?

Coola Yagami 02-09-2022 09:02 AM

That union post is a crybaby leftie calling everything he doesn't like 'alt-right' so that link is meaningless.

In other real news, the government is now considering sending their version of CPS to nab any kids at the protest 'for their own safety' despite them having no problem sending police to nab fuel a few days ago in 10 degree weather with the kids still there.

The government literally can't do anything as long as they're peaceful. They keep trying to push and push for violence. They haven't even considered talking to them. They're ****ing corrupt authoritarian cowards.

It's the whole being forced to get a vaccine or you lose this that or the other thing. If there's generally no loss of freedom and freedom is an honest choice, then people should be allowed to make their own decisions in what they put in their body.

When it's abortion or being a junkie, Libs are all about "My body, my choice." Otherwise it's "What you do affects ALL of us, you selfish piece of sh*t!" :lol:

They tend to stomp their feet and roll their eyes and pout whenever confronted with such blatant hypocrisy. Always fun to watch!

Sumac 02-09-2022 11:15 PM

I am not against vaccines in general. Even if they are just mitigating illness and not curing it.
However, I am against separating people into two categories. Not to mention amount of lies and twists everyone and their chair spin around just to achieve whatever result they want.

Nevada just dropped mask mandates. They'll never say it's due to the truckers in Canada though.

IndigoErth 02-10-2022 03:41 PM

I don't care if they want to protest and whatnot, but I wish they'd have decided to congest and block roads around government buildings (or employers?) and make it hard on the people actually making those decisions/demands, instead of negatively impacting people and their own jobs who have no involvement and no control or power over it.

Auto makers are now having to cancel shifts and reduce production due to lack of parts, etc. I see support for it being very short lived if this gets to hitting too many innocent people in the wallet and not the politicians and/or employers who it should be impacting. Could open up an awfully big chasm with fellow blue collar workers if that keeps up long.

Then they can do something about it. Blow up Trudope's phone and demand he drops the mandates. Not tomorrow, not after breakfast, but today.

IndigoErth 02-10-2022 03:47 PM

It isn't their jobs to change it for those truckers. Especially the U.S. Americans whose jobs are being impacted and losing income over it when they're just minding their own lives over here.

There are enough truckers, I'm pretty sure they can blow up the phones themselves. Or go make a big show where it will inconvenience those lawmakers and make it hard for THEM to get to and do their own jobs. Force them to have to sleep at their office or walk past many protestors just trying to get there because they can't get their car anywhere close.
