18 wheeler insurrection to flatten the curve… love that
It is going to be labeled a trucker insurrection…national security threat,,, domestic terrorists,,, you just watch…
Our Canadian Government Politicians are so out of touch. Truckers being on the street feeding anyone who wants food, feeding the homeless and bringing trucks full of food to Ottawa food banks, gving out clothing, hats and gloves, toilettetrees etc to anyone in need and this Corrupt Government has the odasity to say these Truckers and protesters are dangerous terrorists and streets being so scary with violence lmao. Downtown area has felt the safest its ever been with bouncy castles for children to play on. Kids and people playing hockey and soccer on the street Downtown crime rate has decreased by 90% since Truckers have been here.
Has any of these corrupt Government politicians been ever out in the street giving out free food to anyone in need or taking care of our homeless???
Answer nope never. Politicians keep saying their here to help citizens but have never done what they preach.
HE LOVES THE MANDATES BUT IS NOT WEARING A MASK!! WHAT A HYPOCRITE!!!!

There is more room in the empty operating rooms.
Police, media, politicians have awaken the sleeping giant.
Ottawa police are N-A-Z-I'S in a communist regime !!
THE SAFETY OF THE PUBLIC. WHAT ARE YOU SAVING THEM FROM, YOUR BULLETS? THAT WOULD NOT LOOK GOOD WOULD IT.
THESE PEOPLE HAVE THE COMMON COLD AND THERE IS NO VALID TEST TO PROVE OTHERWISE.
Liberalism is cancer
The only answer now is for Trudeau to step down.
Liberals need a new leader
Authorities are losing their minds and losing control. This is not going away.
Radicals and extremists? Are these reporters crazy?
Potential for violence? Haha, it is been very peaceful for 2 weeks now. Only violence will be caused by the feds special agents. Rogue actors will start appearing no doubt.

Triumph is right
We stand behind the truckers!!!
Stop the propaganda!!!!

When they put hand cuff on him and turned him on his back, they realised he hand been in cardiac arrest. This man was later pronounced dead. There has been complete silence on the matter from public officials, the media, and the family.
