Truckers protest Canadian vaccine mandate with impressive 'Freedom Convoy'

[Counselor706]

Truckers from across Canada are protesting vaccine mandates and other COVID-19 restrictions with a "Freedom Convoy" that began in British Columbia and is making its way to the nation's capital with tens of thousands of supporters.

The convoy departed from Vancouver on Sunday and is headed toward Ottawa in protest of Prime Minister Justin Trudeau's vaccine mandate for all truck drivers crossing the border from the United States into Canada. As of Wednesday, the convoy has grown to a seemingly world record-smashing length of 70 km (43 miles), according to Freedom Convoy spokesman Benjamin Dichter.

“It’s 70 km long,” Dichter told the Toronto Sun. “I have seen footage from an airplane. It’s impressive.”

The Guinness world record for longest truck convoy is 7.5 km, which was achieved by a convoy in Egypt in 2020. The Toronto Sun estimated that when the convoy reaches its destination for a planned protest in Ottawa Saturday, it could be as much as 10 times longer than the previous world record. The outlet reported there are as many as 50,000 trucks from western and eastern Canada participating, and even some joining from the United States. There is as yet, no official recognition of the convoy's apparent record-breaking status.

While they're at it, while they're all gathered in Ottawa, let them drop this braindead anti-vaxx bullshit, and take the opportunity to demand Parliament fund an R&D program to find some kind of techno-fix that will enable the whole trucking industry to exist after the cheap oil runs out.

Anti-mandate =/= anti-vaxx.

When will you drop that braindead and dishonest bullshit??

Of course anti-mandate = anti-vaxx.

No, it's not, because words mean thing peck.

That's why many of us have been vaccinated and aren't anti-vax at all, are anti-mandate....we're called liberals.

When will you drop that braindead and dishonest bullshit??

They’re apparently behind schedule. Big surprise.

It’s really not hard to understand, Stanford. If you want to reduce the likelihood and severity of infection, get vaccinated. If you want to reach herd immunity, lower the risk of contact, and get back to some semblance of normal life, vaccinate as many other people as possible.

I never said otherwise.

It's really not hard to understand, Pub-lick Ed.

Mandates and vaccines are two different things.

If you want to reach herd immunity, lower the risk of contact, and get back to some semblance of normal life, vaccinate as many other people as possible.

Herd immunity, sure.

Normal life? Just take your psycho-Karen heels off the peoples throats....start by minding your own fucking business for a change, and people will go back to normal all on their own.

It’s been a full year, and it hasn’t happened. Whose ass needs to be kicked?

That's a lovely idea, but it's prety clear these "vaccines" don't stop infection or transmission of COViD, so there's not going to be any herd immunity conferred by vaccination.

Of course anti-mandate = anti-vaxx.

No, you're wrong.

Being anti mandate has nothing to do with whether you are pro or against vaccines. It has to do with you being for or against MANDATES.

 

[Bud_Spencer]

No, you're wrong.

Leftists don't care what anyone does, so long as it's compulsory.

You are fake news.

 

[LittleDixie]

You are fake news.

He's right.

The vaccines seem to need to be supplemented endlessly with boosters. They don't last long, and they don't protect against all of the different variants. You don't have to look hard to find people who are completely up to date on their vaccinations and boosters who are also getting sick.

The vaccines will not stop infections.

We'll drop it the second it stops being the truth. They are so similar that parsing them apart is just being intellectually dishonest which is a specialty of yours. This is no different from "Teach the Controversy" whether its education, the Holocaust or 9/11.

"I'm not saying 9/11 was an inside job with Bush at the helm, I'm saying there are educated people who have their doubts and we should treat them as no different than any other historian!

 

[Bud_Spencer]

You are fake news.

Denmark, Australia, Gibraltar, Israel are all seeing record numers of infections despite sky-high vaccination rates. If the vaccines brought immunity, they'd have reached herd immunity long ago. Instead, they're seeing increased numbers of infection. It's almost a certainty that the vaccines are causing it.

 

[pecksniff]

Just take your psycho-Karen heels off the peoples throats....

 

[GothTalk]

It's not at all the truth, mandates =/= vaccines..... no matter how much you stamp your little authoritarian control freak feetsies.

Facts...Florida, Sweden, the UK and some other more liberal states/nations have already proven this.

 

[pecksniff]

No, you're wrong.

Being anti mandate has nothing to do with whether you are pro or against vaccines. It has to do with you being for or against MANDATES.

Libertarian considerations are completely irrelevant to all this. No typhoid house was ever unjustly deprived of its "liberty" by being quarantined. There was no tyranny in the mandatory smallpox vaccinations of the 18th Century.

Funny how data from Florida, Sweden and the UK can prove your assertion, but data from the CDC or WHO is worthless.

 

[bellisarius]

Have you seen the crowds on the roadsides cheering the truckers on? Hmmm? Or are you just being willfully ignorant of what's happening?

You keep running your ignorant mouths about the vaccine but completely ignore the mandate that the truckers wear masks WHILE DRIVING?????? What sort of moron do you have to be to issue that mandate?

I never thought I'd see such a thing in Canada. What's next? Refuse to make deliveries to Ottawa? Toronto? Montreal? I'd love to see that!!!!!!

According to The Blaze, they’re protesting a vaccine mandate, not a mask mandate. Are you saying that The Blaze is wrong?

I'll always favor real world results over some government mouthpiece.
