HONK HONK everyone! It has now been over a week since the Trucker Convoy began protesting in Ottawa. A handful of inspiring things have happened giving a glimmer of light at the end of the tunnel. However even more questionable things have arisen from the totalitarian leaders of Canada.
On Friday night GoFundMe officially removed the Freedom Convoy's fundraiser from their platform after it raised over ten million dollars.
"To ensure GoFundMe remains a trusted platform, we work with local authorities to ensure we have a detailed, factual understanding of events taking place on the ground. Following a review of relevant facts and multiple discussions with local law enforcement and city officials, this fundraiser is now in violation of our Terms of Service (Term 8, which prohibits the promotion of violence and harassment) and has been removed from the platform.”
Allegations that the protests going on in Ottawa are anything but peaceful still fall flat on their faces.. Everything throughout the week and this weekend have been nothing short of peaceful, patriotic and heartwarming. However mainstream media continues to spin everything against the people.
In their initial statement it was said all donors may submit a request in order to receive a refund for their donation(s). All the remaining funds would be sent out to credible and established charities.
Effectively GoFundMe was attempting to steal the money raised for the Trucker Convoy. Saturday morning a statement was released stating that all donations will now be automatically refunded to the donor(s). The change in direction coming only after intense public scrutiny following the removal of the fundraiser. In addition to GoFundMe giving the impression that they were stealing the funds of the donors.
Since the removal the fundraiser has moved to a new platform, GiveSendGo. Raising over ONE MILLION dollars in the first day! Sadly I believe a lot of people will be less willing to donate to the new fund because of the scandal surrounding the first fundraiser. On the other hand seeing the full power of the state brought to bear upon the people giving freely is likely to drive more support towards the cause.
With GoFundMe's action's it is beyond confirmed we are witnessing fascism in its complete form. They had no problem supporting BLM and Antifa organizations fundraising during the riots over the summer of 2020. Some of these campaigns are still active on the website today.. Government has incorporated itself with big corporations in order to exact its will.
The Ottawa Police didn't even try hiding the fact their was political pressure put on GoFundMe.
How can one not objectively see how this is fascism.. Government is pressuring corporations to act in a specific way towards certain causes as they see fit. The state cannot have anyone believing that standing up for your freedoms and rights is a good thing. Continuing attempts to push these false narratives on the protests are only helping gain momentum for them amongst average people.
Ottawa's own Police Chief stated on Friday that he would pursue legal action against anyone in the department who supports the Freedom Convoy.
Totalitarianism is on full display for the world to witness with that statement. Either you are with the state enforcing their will and in being against the people or you are a criminal.
Canada has found themselves with zero idea of how to combat the massive movement that started last week. This weekend alone millions came to Ottawa to join in protests in front of parliament.
Convoys entered Toronto, Vancouver, Quebec City and continued to grow in Alberta. People across the entire country are standing up, uniting together against these government mandates. Everyone has had enough!
Honking will continue until freedom is restored!
It cannot go without saying that there have been some counter protests in the mix. A few hundred people were chanting against the Freedom Convoy supporters. Chanting for everyone to go home and for the cops to due their jobs.
Seeing these counter protestors on video helps speak to the trans a lot of the city dwelling people are in. Every single one of them are wearing masks while being outside. By now everyone knows that doesn’t do anything for anybody when it comes to Covid. The fact they are protesting against peoples right to peacefully protest is also something to behold. The left has always been on the side of "protest" for unjust things. I suppose now they only show support for protesting when it involves pushing a specific political agenda. Who would imagine the day when standing up against tyranny was looked down upon.
These counter protests point to the divide sown by politicans and elites over the past two years. All of a sudden because people are fed up with not being able to go about their lives without government telling them what to do. All of the people who want government telling them what to do are having none of it. It is like they are demanding government do more so they themselves do not have to do anything.
Think of all the people that were able to coast through the last few years off of the back of government handouts and transfer payments? The number may be relatively small but any amount of people who have enjoyed a carefree lifestyle do not want that to end. People demanding freedom is people demanding an end to others worry free lifestyle that they've adopted.
"Workers of the world unite" Marx said.
In todays day the workers are the middle class and average people. The majority in those groups want to work, provide for their families and for the government to leave them alone so they can focus on the latter. Government has managed to make it extremely difficult for people to go about their daily lives. Hence people have had enough. Now they are rallying for freedom and a return to normalcy. For the majority of people normality is nothing more of the life they had two years ago before government intervention in every aspect of their lives. Intervention that caused more disruptions and difficulties then benefits. The other group of people have seen the government intervention "benefit" their lives so they want it to continue. I would also argue this group truly believes the government is acting in the best interest of the people. Keeping them safe while looking out for everyone's health.
Unfortunately that narrative has been broken on this. People are realizing it was never about their health but rather about how much control government could assert over them. Free people do not like authorities telling them how to conduct their lives.
What is happening in Canada is primarily what Martin Luther King Jr. meant when he talked about the power of peaceful protests. The Trucker Convoy and all of its supporters have been nothing less then peaceful throughout the week of protesting. This peace has left all of the Canadian government powerless. A show of force from the state against peaceful citizens would destroy them even more then just ignoring them.
Ignoring them is precisely what Justin Trudeau continued to do all week and weekend. His "quarantine" from Covid is soon to be ending. He must face the people of his country eventually.
The truckers have stated they are not leaving until freedom is restored. The longer protests go on, the bigger they will get each day and each weekend.
Two provinces have already begun suggesting the removal of restrictions and mandates. The pressure is mounting with freedom slowly winning out.
Continue to support the Truckers and their supporters. Everyone should learn from what the Canadians are doing. Proving to the world that the power always lies in the hands of the people. It falls upon us to exercise that power for the right reasons. Freedom and personal liberty have always been on the right side of history. I have no doubt this is the case again.
Continue to stand up, speak up and fight for freedom and liberty.
HONK for FREEDOM!!
As I was proofreading this post the Mayor of Ottawa declared a state of emergency in the city due to ongoing protests. It was also reported that after midnight tonight police will be cutting off fuel supplies to the convoy and supporters. Anyone caught bring in fuel will be arrested and charged. Dispite this clear panic from government it shows the freedom movement is winning.
The HONKING will NOT STOP UNTIL FREEDOM IS RESTORED!
