Convoy Truckers Beware: 'ROAD HAZARDS AHEAD'

Ottawa-bound TRUCKERS BEWARE: 'Road Hazards Ahead'. Be steadfastly alert to all lefthand turns. A ravening leftwing media—bought and paid for to the tune of over $600-million by the Justin Trudeau-led Liberal government in Ottawa—are readying for a panther pounce on the credibility and motive of truck drivers en route to Ottawa in a cross-country convoy protesting the federal government's COVID-19 vaccine mandate.

"Freedom Convoy 2022"

"Dubbed "Freedom Convoy 2022", hundreds of vehicles set off from northern British Columbia, with truck drivers joining from across Canada along the way. The group is rallying under an organization called Canada Unity, which will stage a massive demonstration at Parliament Hill on Jan. 29 when thousands of trucks are expected to meet in the capital." (Epoch Times, Jan. 25, 2022). The government-compliant media will do anything and everything they can to smear all truckers in the convoy on their way to the capital in attempts to throw the proverbial monkey's wrench into the Jan. 29 Ottawa Protest, destined to be one of the most massive grassroots one ever undertaken. Truckers: Watch not only your own backs but the backs of your Convoy brothers and sisters. Upon arrival in the nation's capital, as the old saying goes: "Hope for the best—but expect the worst". Keep cool heads and your wits about you when you arrive on Parliament Hill. Count on the Protest scene being overrun by the RMP—the same ones that several times ganged up on passionate Pastor Artur Pawlowski, Pastors James Coates and Tim Stephens. Will the Covid-crazed Canadian authorities call on the military to assure that any arrests are carried through?

Politicians of both countries are playing politics with their populations' access to food to feed their families

"The convoy was organized in response to new rules introduced on Jan. 15 that make it mandatory for truckers crossing the Canada-U.S. border to be fully vaccinated against COVID-19 or face a mandatory two-week quarantine upon re-entry. (Epoch Times) "The U.S. government announced similar requirements beginning Jan. 22 for non-U.S. nationals crossing into the country who are not vaccinated, including Canadian truck drivers."

Politicians of both countries are playing politics with their populations' access to food to feed their families.

"Canada Unity launched a fundraising campaign through GoFundMe on Jan. 14 to support the convoy's food, fuel, and lodging, and had accrued over $4.5 million as of Jan. 25. (Epoch Times) "On Jan. 25, GoFundMe froze access to the funds while it confirms with organizers how the money is being distributed to ensure donors are protected. "GoFundMe told The Epoch Times in an email that the fundraising for the Freedom Convoy has "remained live and continued to accept donations" as of Jan. 25."

Support for the truckers is starting to float in from several Conservative MPs

Support for the truckers is starting to float in from several Conservative MPs.

"Garnett Genuis, MP for Sherwood Park-Fort Saskatchewan, Alb., said he stands with the truck drivers who are essential to supplying Canada's grocery stores. (Epoch Times) "Preventing people from bringing essential goods into Canada because of their vaccination status when those drivers are sitting alone inside their cabs, and when the Omicron variant is already on both sides of the border, is really the height of absurdity," he wrote on Twitter on Jan. 22. "Former Conservative leader Andrew Scheer, MP for Regina-Qu'Appelle, Sask., blasted Prime Minister Justin Trudeau on social media for introducing the vaccine mandate for truck drivers. "Trudeau is attacking personal liberty and threatening everyone's ability to get groceries because of his overreach on vaccine mandates," he wrote on Twitter on Jan. 24. "He is the biggest threat to freedom in Canada."

Lack of action on supply chain will make empty shelves the norm

"Scheer's comments were supported by his colleagues Pierre Poilievre, MP for Carleton, Ont., and Leslyn Lewis, MP for Haldimand-Norfolk, Ont. "I'm proud of the Truckers. Peaceful protest is a cornerstone of our democracy," Lewis tweeted on Jan. 25. "The liberal mandates are unscientific, vindictive, mean-spirited, and promote segregation. The people have a moral obligation to oppose unjust laws and mandates." "Melissa Lantsman, MP for Thornhill, Ont., urged Ottawa to "reverse the mandate" for truckers, adding that many grocery stores have reported "worsening supply issues" since the vaccine mandate took effect. "Lack of action on supply chain will make empty shelves the norm," she said on Twitter on Jan. 22. "At a press conference on Jan. 24, Trudeau touted vaccines as "the best way to continue to prevent interruptions in our supply chains" when asked about the inflationary impact of a looming trucker shortage. He added that 90 percent of Canadian truckers have been fully vaccinated.

Convoy truckers, both Canadian and American ones have impressive support from the public at large

"Federal transport minister Omar Alghebra also said on Jan. 24 that getting the remaining unvaccinated truck drivers to take the jab is "actually a solution to the supply chain issue, not a hindrance." "The Canadian Trucking Alliance (CTA), which has denounced the convoy protest, says more than 85 percent of the 120,000 Canadian truck drivers who regularly traverse the border are vaccinated, but that up to 16,000 may be sidelined due to the new restriction, exacerbating supply chain problems. "In a joint release Tuesday, federal government and CTA president Stephen Laskowski acknowledged "unprecedented challenges" to a sector that ships the vast majority of food and consumer products, but stressed vaccination as the route to economic health.

More significantly, convoy truckers, both Canadian and American ones have impressive support from the public at large Godspeed "Freedom Convoy 2022". Because the selfless efforts of hard-working truck drivers, who have always kept the supply chain going, now have the opportunity to turn the tide on the kind of politicians who would deny the populations they were elected to serve access to food!
