Last week Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau announced that the convoy of trucks headed for Ottawa was nothing more than a "small fringe minority of people". This "small minority" was the Freedom Convoy 2022, gaining momentum and support as they traveled across Canada headed for Ottawa.
“These people who are holding unacceptable views" and "Do not represent the views of Canadians who have been there for each other. Who know following the science and stepping up to protect each other is the best way to ensure our freedoms, our rights and values as a country."
Just some of the words from Canada's Prime Minister Justin Trudeau last week days before the convoy was set to reach Ottawa.
His words spoken like a true disciple of Claus Schwab and the Global Elites over at the World Economic Forum. Politicans like Trudeau who think of themselves as leaders wouldn't even be welcomed in the craziest of fantasy lands. NO leader of any kind, especially one of a country, should talk down to the very people they have sworn to serve.
The authoritarian spirit is still alive and well throughout much of our political class around the world.
The Convoy caught my attention last week when I saw a swarm of pictures and videos showing thousands of truckers taking to the highway. Driving to protest Canada's vaccine mandates regarding the transportation of goods across the countries boarder. The main group set out from Vancouver over 2,000 miles from Ottawa. There were also convoys from Ontario and Nova Scotia. All three set to arrive in Ottawa to protest in solidarity.
It was a sight to see as trucks drove under bridges with people lining up across the overpasses and along the highways showing their support. Waving Canadian flags and holding up signs. All standing united in support of the truckers who are driving to save their country.
It is no mistake that people everywhere are fed up with governments running over their lives for the past two years. I have heard it said that all you need to start a movement is a tireless minority.
"It does not take a majority to prevail... but rather an irate, tireless minority, keen on setting brushfires of freedom in the minds of men." -Samuel Adams
Folks, that is what is happening in Canada right now. A minority in the trucking community quickly spread to thousands of people. With more and more standing up and demanding their freedom back!
The Convoy reportedly reached 43 miles long making it the longest truck convoy in history! They began enter Ottawa on Friday the 29th. Ironically the city announced plans on the 28th to close some bridges that lead into Ottawa ahead of the protest.
This doesn’t sound at all like trying to stop people for exercising their right to peacefully protest.
Thankfully none of this stopped the truckers from rolling into Ottawa the next morning.
What a day it was on Friday, tens of thousands of people joined the truckers in front of Canadian parliament. Every one of them exercising their right to peacefully protest. People in the thousands remained the entire weekend. Dispite the freezing temperatures everyone stood in solidarity showing their patriotic spirit. It is now Tuesday and the movement does not appear to be slowing down.
What did the Prime Minister do in response to his citizens looking for their voices to be heard? Run away.. He was "evacuated" from the city due to fears of things escalating into violence. Ironically there has been no violence what so ever, despite the Canadian mainstream media's efforts to escalate tensions.
Let us point out that the mainstream media in Canada is bought and paid for by the government. It is one of the current definitions of true state propaganda. In five days there was one instance of a "Nazi" flag, which was flown by someone wearing a mask covering their face. A single instance of a confederate flag being flown, this person also wearing a mask covering their entire face. People confronted the man flying the confederate flag expressing that kind of display and rhetoric were not welcome here. Both of these people quickly disappeared and were not seen again.
With those two single instances the media claimed the protestors were nothing more than racist extremists. Vandalizing the city of Ottawa, defaming statues and the like. Crazy enough none of those things are true. Threw hours of videos and reading actual reporting on what is happening I have seen nothing of the like. The Canadian spirit is truly that of peace and freedom.
With the Prime Minister fleeing what little government remains still does not seem to keen on hearing its people. This shows the pure cowardice of certain leaders who's ideology does not allow them to be incorrect on anything.
Listening to some of the debates between the two political parties you can easily tell which side is trying to reach the people who are trying to make themselves heard outside of parliament. While the other side wants nothing more then the protests to stop so the government and people can focus on the true enemy. Being of course this pandemic and the virus. Utilizing the only means necessary, get your shot or no livelihood for you!
Clearly some politicans are missing the entire message its people are trying to send them. They want an END to government mandates and control over their daily lives.
Of all the pictures I've seen not one sign from any of the truckers, supporters or protestors mentioned the word "vaccine". They all called for an end to mandates or mandates for freedom. Yet one side of the political debate only use one word when describing an end to the pandemic..
"Vaccines"
None of this is about vaccines, health or medicine! Most people are far beyond that at this point. This is about people getting their freedoms back that governments so willing stripped away from them over the illusion of safety.
The entire Trucker Convoy movement that started in Canada and has since spread around the world attests to how far governments have gone with their power. People will not sit by as politicans deny their citizens the right to feed their families and earn a livelihood. Enough is enough and Canada is standing up!
50,000 Trucks and the tens of thousands of people who have come out in support of showing the true power of the working class rising up.
"Workers of the world, unite!"
It was all fun and games for the Politicans until the rising up was for a cause they didn't support. Who would have thought that cause would be freedom and liberty.
Trudeau is right when he says, that what is happening now in the nation's capital, after everything we've been through, is not the story of our pandemic, our country and our people. It is what happens when you spend two years decisively dividing your people for political gain. After two years of coercion and following orders people realize they have everything in common with their fellow citizens. Who they don’t have anything is common with is the government! A government who took rights, liberties and freedoms away from everyday people. At every step where the people did as they were told for the betterment of society. The government asked for more, actually they didn't even bother to ask, just told and took.
Trudeau, you and the government bureaucrats who stand against your people are the problem. The fact you deny even the idea of speaking to them because they don’t represent a movement that you believe in. It is a shame you don't believe in freedom like so many of your fellow Canadians.
Ignoring the people you serve is only going to make their movement grow. Ottawa is five days into the trucker movement. Showing no signs of leaving until the mandates are dropped and voices are heard.
It is truly amazing to hear the mainstream media consider anyone standing up for freedom and personal liberty to be nothing more than a cult.
It took three plus hours on Monday morning before I saw a single news headline about what was going on in Canada. Showing how little the mainstream media actually cares about relevant events. The first thing I see is this on MSNBC. What a way to destroy a workout, truly some Hunger Games style reporting.
The honks aren't going to stop! People and truckers are not going to leave until their voices are heard. This truly is an awakening moment for most of the world. People have had enough with government telling them how to live their lives. Working class people are finally standing up and showing what they have to say.
The elites and politicans are dumbfounded by this idea of people not following their every word. There is immense power in average people speaking out about what is right. Hardworking everyday people are what make countries run, not governments or politicans. Without our consent they have no power over us. Canadians are choosing to exercise their power and take back what was stolen by the government.
Freedom and personal liberty are not a cult as the media would have you believe. Reality has lost them, with everything they don’t agree with or approve of being wrong and inappropriate. You know they are in a cult because they cannot understand anything outside of their world views.
Truckers have given us all hope. Hope that we can reclaim our God given rights of freedom and personal liberty!
This is what free expression is all about, peaceful communities showing support for freedom! To bad main stream media is bought out too. Great article Ryan!
