The Convoy Of Hate!

Freedumb Convoy.

The national capital of Canada faces its own insurrection. The Canadian government blames Washed Up 45 and Fox for the "Truckers for Freedom" protests.

The so-called "Freedom Convoys" have become a theme in Canada and it will spread into the United States.

The city of Ottawa, Ontario is under siege by a bunch of fringe extremists who oppose the vaccine mandates in Canada. The extremists are supportive of the former American president who spent years promoting misinformation about the coronavirus pandemic.

Prime Minister Justin Trudeau has dismissed this as political extremism and the provincial government and city have declared a state of emergency.

We are on the road to fascism. 

Ottawa is the national capital of Canada. It is located the eastern part of Southern Ontario. It has a population of 1.02 million residents. It is the fourth largest city in the country. The Ottawa-Gratineau metropolitan area has 2.4 million residents. 

Toronto is the provincial capital of Ontario.

It started only three weeks ago when a social media posting encouraged by truckers who refused to get vaccinated. By federal law, any Canadian traveling cross borders must be fully vaccinated before entry. The Canadians also made it mandatory for Americans to be vaccinated before entry into Canada. Refusal will deny entry.

Canadian truckers who embraced the themes of Jan. 6 have now decided to protest Trudeau and federal government. Some fear they may attack Parliament.

The convoys have been loud. They are literally honking their horns and keeping Ottawans awake. They are flying the Confederate flag, Trump flag and Let's Go Brandon propaganda in Canada. It's a shameful event that many of these far-right Canadians are fucking stupid.

Fox has been promoting these convoys and it has put on white nationalists on to literally attack Trudeau and President Joe Biden.

Ottawa declared a state of emergency on Sunday in response to thousands turning out for a second weekend of demonstrations against COVID-19 public health measures, blocking roads and disrupting parts of the capital city. 

The coronavirus pandemic is still here despite the protest.

The Washington Post reported that the protests included road blockades, shooting off fireworks, driving on sidewalks and constant horn-honking by truckers.

"Declaring a state of emergency reflects the serious danger and threat to the safety and security of residents posed by the ongoing demonstrations and highlights the need for support from other jurisdictions and levels of government," the city said in its press release announcing Ottawa Mayor Jim Watson's decision.

Police added that tickets had been issued over the weekend for behavior including using fireworks and driving violations, some of which resulted in vehicles being seized and towed. 

The Ottawa Police Department also issued a statement on Sunday about the disruptive nature of the protests."Overnight, demonstrators exhibited extremely disruptive and unlawful behaviour, which presented risks to public safety and unacceptable distress for Ottawa residents," police said. "We continue to advise demonstrators not to enter Ottawa, and to go home."

But since then, the protests have spread to cites around the country, while also drawing a "significant element" from the U.S. and have prompted “several criminal investigations” into “threatening” and “illegal,” according to Canadian police.

The Canadian Trucking Alliance said last week that many people at the protests, which had turned into a broader demonstration against COVID restrictions, “do not have a connection to the trucking industry."

Ottawa said its emergency declaration would allow for "greater flexibility within the municipal administration to enable the City of Ottawa to manage business continuity for essential services for its residents and enables a more flexible procurement process, which could help purchase equipment required by frontline workers and first responders." 

The coronavirus doesn't care about your age, race, gender, sexuality, nationality, religion, politics, economic or social standings. It doesn't care about your business, your performances, your personal finances and travel. It doesn't care about the funerals, the birthday parties, the weddings, the vacations, the events and your graduations. It doesn't care about anything. It's a living organism that causes mild symptoms that include: fever, sore throats, chills, respiratory issues, loss of taste or smell and other unknown symptoms. If you have a weak immune system or health issues, your risk increases.

Of course, there's folks who are fully vaccinated but end up getting the coronavirus. As with vaccines, nothing is 100%. The vaccines are capable of preventing the coronavirus. At best, it's a 94% prevention rate which means 1 out of 500 could be infected even if they're vaccinated.

President Joe Biden had hopes that Americans would take this shit seriously. Even Prime Minister Justin Trudeau had thought Canadians would take this shit seriously.

Unfortunately, Republicans so fucking eager to return to power will keep Americans fixated on the culture wars. Now vaccinations are part of this culture war. The far-right political parties of Canada will now use American angst and culture wars to win back power as well.

But those fighting the culture war by not vaccinating, not wearing face mask in public, not following protocols, and deliberately ignoring federal and international rules when traveling are going to be the first casualties of the war. 

With this pandemic mostly affecting states where Republican governors are, we may have to return to wearing facial protection and cutting back services to reduce the spread of the coronavirus.

We came so far only to have a bunch of selfish idiots set it back. Just because they hate President Joe Biden.

The Republicans are so devoted to destroying Biden and the country for what....to regain power.

Pathetic.
