Canadian truckers protesting Covid restrictions are being joined by some sympathetic US truckers, under the disapproving eyes of the Ottawa police. While the Ottawa police view this with annoyance, there is as yet no violence involved.<\/p>\n

He said that the participants, who also include locals and other Canadians, are \u201cputting our city and our residents, our partners and our officers at great risk.\u201d – article<\/p>\n However, the Canadian truckers are not alone in their efforts to thumb their noses at vaxx mandates (and other such stuff): US truckers here are attempting to meet earlier than their proposed March Meetup in WDC,<\/p>\n https:\/\/thehill.com\/opinion\/white-house\/592647-us-trucker-convoy-coming-joe-biden-will-ignore-protests-at-his-peril<\/a><\/p>\n From the article: As hard as it is to imagine, President Biden<\/a>\u2019s political fortunes are about to get worse. The massive trucker convoy that crossed Canada to protest against that country\u2019s new vaccine mandates will almost certainly be replicated in the U.S. and will bring with it huge headaches for the Biden White House.<\/p>\n Biden pretends to be the champion of the \u201clittle guy\u201d; he claims to support blue-collar workers. Truckers are exactly the kind of folks Biden is meant to embrace, but he will not do that.<\/p>\n The drivers protesting the vaccine mandates have already been portrayed by the liberal media as right-wing zealots and science deniers, which is only one notch above climate deniers. A Facebook group organizing the U.S. convoy that had amassed 130,000 members has been tossed off<\/a> the social media platform amid allegations that the movement was being promoted by right-wing extremists, which the organizers deny.<\/p>\n
