I hope they follow through on this. This action certainly has gained a lot of news coverage as well as a grassroots following. However, it won't make a damn bit of difference unless they see it to the end. Just showing up in Ottawa and clogging the city until Monday morning and then everyone heading home will be meaningless. The only way this makes a difference is if they show up and DON'T leave until their demands are met. They MUST make it hurt. Just putting on a big show won't change a thing.

I'm willing to bet money that when an ambulance or fire truck comes up to this convoy they move over and make room for the emergency vehicle, can you say the same for BLM?I am not talking about the principals but the methods.
Search "blocking traffic" and you'll see members on this forum widely hate the practice of forcibly recruiting the public into one's protest courtesy of blocking/impeding traffic.
No issues with these guys protesting. If they start blocking traffic and commerce they will incite derision of their cause--and well earned.
One example of many:
this Sunday, **protesters** are going to block 490
yep, a pre-planned road blockage is scheduled for this Sunday morning at Rt-490 and ( I believe) Clinton Ave. Protesters are going to stand across Rt490 in support of a bunch of block heads that think they have more rights then anyone else in the City of Rottenchester or, for that matter, in...nygunforum.com
In this one dr evil even liked the post about clearing protesters. But here, since he likes this cause (and has as hardon for me), he's okay with them using the same nasty technique he didn't like there.

You can't compare BLM to this. Not even close.
Anyone that says this is out of control needs some mental help. For something that ranks this high as a large gathering, I'd say that this is very peaceful.
I hope this wins them their rights.

The truckers are not (at least I haven't seen it anywhere) going to Ottowa for the express purpose of blocking traffic. Will traffic be blocked? Sure looks like it, and I'm all for it because in this case, the numbers need to be big enough that Trudeau is shown as the fool he is for his "fringe element" comment.I am not talking about the principals but the methods.

I don't think BLM has much, if anything, legitimate to protest about. If that makes me a hypocrite, then go ahead and slap the label on me.

Different professions attract different sorts of people.
People who would choose a career in nursing naturally have to score very high on the agreeableness scale.
Truck drivers are the exact opposite.
Agreeableness is going to be a very good measure of how much BS you're willing to put up with in the name of avoiding conflict.

Would be great if they really consolidated their power over this one.
Just Pick some business that's outspoken about the vax mandate and refuse to deliver, anything. Then pick another one. Start picking any place that does business with a place with a mandate.
Show the left what cancel culture feels like.
That's the only way they will abandon that tactic, once it starts biting them in the ass too.

Interesting view point in that video -- "He didn't appreciate what is was about at the beginning..."
I saw this same skepticism a few months ago after people got their vax. They felt "compelled" to get it. Now there is no going back and they wish they didn't comply.
Not trying to flaunt it... but I am so happy I didn't get the clot shot.

The Main Stream Media is downplaying it and calling the supporters extremists. Just like Jan 6th. I hope their main steam is picking the wrong side to be on.

AND THE WASHINGTON POST SAYS:
Evidently, the so-called journalists and authors, Amanda Coletta, Adela Suliman of the Washington post don't have youtube, or else they simply write approved propaganda as they are told to.
Amanda Coletta, Adela Suliman say A self-described ‘Freedom Convoy’.
Amanda Coletta, Adela Suliman says convoy’s size is unclear,
Amanda Coletta, Adela Suliman says police warned of social media actors inciting violence and “lone wolf individuals” seeking to disrupt it.
Amanda Coletta, Adela Suliman says Prime Minister Justin Trudeau dismissed the convoy as a “fringe minority” TRUE
Amanda Coletta, Adela Suliman says started out as a protest against vaccine mandates has garnered support from people with a host of other grievances — conspiracy theorists, far-right agitators and anti-government types — and could devolve.
Amanda Coletta, Adela Suliman THE strains on the supply chains have been mostly impacted by the number of workers out sick with covid-19 and not the vaccine requirement.
All approved Government propaganda that a few minutes of YouTube from normal citizens would show. Here is the link but trust me, you won't learn anything of any real value here.

If it does, I'm sure someone's grass will be damaged thereby changing it to "extremists destroy lawn at capitol building".

Trudeau concerned trucker convoy converging on Parliament Hill could turn violent
OTTAWA -- Prime Minister Justin Trudeau says he's concerned about the potential for violence during this weekend's planned protest on Parliament Hill by truckers and others joining the crowd to vent their anger about public health restrictions to combat COVID-19.
While key organizers have said violence won't be tolerated, far-right extremists and white nationalists have latched onto it, with some calling for "bullets" or a "massive revolution" or a riot akin to the insurrectionists who stormed the U.S. Capitol a year ago.
A lot of the anger is directed personally at Trudeau, with many supporters of the convoy displaying signs and flags emblazoned with expletives against the prime minister. Some have called for Trudeau to be tried for treason to or to be beaten up.
Organizers have crafted a "memorandum of understanding" demanding that the appointed Senate and the Governor General effectively usurp the authority of the elected government and do away with all vaccine mandates and other public health restrictions -- a constitutional impossibility.
Trudeau said it's typical of "conspiracy theories" that spread "misinformation and disinformation" about the pandemic and how democratic governments work.

A memo sent out by convoy organizers to participants says “Do not enter federal buildings under any circumstances, even if invited.” — because they worry that the feds are “working hard to establish a “Jan. 6th” narrative”

The old Bill's stadium could hole the entire military of Canada.
Currently, there are 70k Canadians in the Active Military. (Which is why they can spend money on social BS)
Not counting police, there are more protesters and trucks in the protest than there are soldiers.
