No idea why but every time I see a video of the truckers beeping their horns to cheering fellow Canadians, I start to tear up. Reminds me of when we were kids we would pull down on our imaginary horns when truckers went by and they would always beep back to our immense delight. #holdtheline
Thank you from Canada! I was on an overpass in -10 degrees for 2.5 hours cheering them on (that contingent of the convoy took 45 min or so to pass but we were getting lots of honking and waving in support long before they showed up). We are so proud of and thankful for our truckers. Please pray it will remain peaceful and succeed in lifting all illegal mandates. We are suffering under totalitarianism here in Canada.
It would be somewhat of a story if it were happening in July. That it's happening in January - in CANADA - makes it even more astounding. This is not a movement of fair weather friends.
This is real. And sh*t's about to get real, I hope.
Go truckers! I hope they win. Also, I have to chuckle at Musk supporting this. Here in California most people are triple jabbed, wearing n95s even when alone out for a walk, and half the cars on the road are Teslas. I wonder how they navigate between virtue signaling about saving the environment while buying their cars from an evil anti-mask, anti-mandate guy.
It's amazing to see, I can't explain it, but it's just the greatest thing ever. I wish I could get to Ottawa to see it, but, alas, I'm not allowed to go to Canada, at the moment. Little Baby Justin hiding in his house has got to be the worst look for a "world leader" of all time. I remember the utter contempt that Trump had for Trudeau, calling him weak and two-faced. He was absolutely right. Truck Fudeau is the hashtag. Lol
Slightly off topic, but Thanks also for the weekly FL covid update which shows the numbers declining. I finally, after a year of living in Fort Myers, tested positive for covid and got what I think was Omicron (Or OMNICROM as Brandon likes to call it). I'm 58 with no co-morbidities. 8 days of high fever and flu symptoms, some congestion, still have loss of smell and altered taste, but thanks to Dr. Anne Littell, I was able to get therapeutics from Myerlee independent pharmacy in less than 24 hours. After setting up a telehealth appointment with their 24/7 nurses, Dr. Littell called me back herself and gave me what I needed to get through this -- IVM, HCQ and Singulair, plus an adult aspirin per day for a week. No urgent care visit, no fear mongering that I'm going to die because I'm not jabbed, no being treated like the great unwashed. Just real, honest healthcare. God bless both Drs John and Anne Littell. By the way, looking at this week's chart, could someone explain what "FL Rt" means? thanks.
I hope the truckers stay there longer than one day. Trudeau expects to wait them out. Sit and do nothing. Ghandi it. There is massive power in doing nothing. Don't do what we did on Jan 6 and walk away after one day.
Canadian Truckers Convoy has been the bright spot in the news. And Jeff's post about it lifted my spirits even more. Spot on about JT going into hiding. I heard Bret Weinstein call JT "a duplicitous Ken doll."
Bear in mind that we spend a fair bit of time with the thermometer hovering close to 0 F up here. People think we're passed out drunk in front of the covid testing sites but it's actually the diving reflex kicking in. We are all wandering about in a profoundly parasympathetic state due to hypothermia.
Seriously though, you're right. The Canadian bear tends to be a bit too sleepy and apolitical. Until you poke it once too often. Turdeau seems to have that ability to do that. He has awakened a deep loathing in many Canadians, me included. He's a spoiled, incompetent, untutored bully who, in all liklihood, stands to profit personally by making sure that anything that moves, including the beavers, has been inoculated with Pfizer's experimental concoction. Once he's finished with the beavers, he's going to start on the maple trees.
All that aside, I'm proud of Canada for the first time in two years. I never saw this coming but I'm sure as hell glad that it did.
The POWER of heavy equipment, trucks, farm equipment etc, are the mightiest force available to citizens to stand up to the government! No wonder it stirs our hearts! And I’ve read that farmers in Canada have joined forces with the truckers. The size and might of this force is immense in numbers as well! I-40, one of the major east/west transport systems, passes through the heart of our Texas town. Yesterday at lunch we sat within view of it, and counted 20 trucks in 1 minute. Extrapolate that to 1,200 per hour, then 9,600 per 8 hour work day! Almost 10,000 trucks per day passing through to deliver goods throughout the country. Yes, truckers can wield an enormous amount of POWER when they join forces. And we all cheer them on! They represent our Gandalf, screaming at the behemoth government - YOU SHALL NOT PASS! You shall not pass mandates and restrictions on the lives of Free people!
Jeff, thank you for this encouraging and very well written post about a news story we’ve heard little about. We are camped in the frosty state of Florida and not hearing much about what’s happening in the “real” world. We have, however kept up with your Coffee and Covid blog during our stay. I read it aloud every day. After all, we are vacationing here because of your insistence that Florida is the best place to be right now. We both laughed out loud at your reference to the chant, “Let’s Go Brandon!” You bring us hope.

Have you seen the fundraiser lately? It’s over 7.8 million CAD. 😍 God bless the truckers and God bless Canada!

Go, Canada! Awesome write-up of the media propaganda. They will never recover from this.
Meanwhile, here is what the US truckers are planning: Convoy to DC 2022!

Imagine if just 10% of our nation's physicians had been as smart and brave as our truckers when this pandemic began.
AOC sheltering in place in her panic room....lol
Oh, Canada! Glorious and Free! Oh, Canada, We Stand on Guard for Thee! Hopefully ...
What Canadian Trucker Protest? Just more misinformation coming from the loonies. When Neil Young talks about it then I'll believe it.
