Update (1500ET): While in a normal world this would be beyond satire and ridicule, it is perhaps of no surprise whatsoever that the blame for instigation of the "Freedom Convoy" is already being placed on so-called 'Russian actors'...
"...given Canada's support of Ukraine... I don't know it it's far-fetched to ask but there is concern that Russian actors could be continuing to fuel things as this protest grows... perhaps even instigating it..."
A lot of strange coverage by the media on this thing but this one wins the prize.pic.twitter.com/bLauTjI9NG — Jim Burnett (@jamesfburnett) January 29, 2022
As Brian Lilley writes at The Toronto Sun, "the media in this country is not acting as a neutral observer and conduit for news on this matter, most have decided the trucker convoy is the enemy and are treating it as such. Watch any of the news networks or, more importantly, read the Twitter accounts of supposedly objective journalists, or listen to the contempt in their voices as they ask questions to see that they have clearly taken sides."
"Apparently, the journalists on Parliament Hill these days think their job is to hold the opposition and not the government to account. It also appears their job to support some protest movements and attack others based on the personal preferences of the journalists."
The propaganda seems to have reached some, but not others...
This is by far the best moment of the day. 👇 pic.twitter.com/1QeIY3cQVE — Ezra Levant 🍁 (@ezralevant) January 29, 2022
In other news, while Trudeau hides in isolation, the Premier of Saskatchewan, a Canadian province that borders the US, calls for an end of the cross-border ban on unvaccinated truckers.
Today, trucker rallies are being held at many locations across the country, including on Parliament Hill in Ottawa and in various communities in Saskatchewan.
Here is my message to Saskatchewan and Canadian truckers:

The world's largest truck convoy rolled into Canada's capital, Ottawa, late Friday night and continues today to stage a protest against Prime Minister Justin Trudeau's cross-border vaccine mandates (or as some call it: medical tyranny).
The so-called "Freedom Convoy" - coming from all corners of Canada and even the US, has been traveling all week and is leading the charge in a massive demonstration against government overreach. Truckers from around the world are uniting and staging protests of their own.
As Enrico Trigoso reports at The Epoch Times, Brian Von D, the administrator at “Convoy to DC 2022” announced that they will “join forces” to ride from California to Washington, adding that “America is next.”
“As [the Canadian convoy] moved from the west to the east, [the American truckers] have been filtering into this convoy, and it is absolutely massive. It is known worldwide, it is the largest thus far,” he said in a live video on Facebook.
He added that dates and planned routes would be released soon on a website and various social media platforms, and a GoFundMe page would only be released on their CONVOY TO DC 2022 Facebook page.
“We’re done with the mandates, were done with the government telling us what to do, we will continue and we will follow just like the rest of the world on these trucker protests, and they will be 100 percent legal, they will abide by the law.”
The Parliamentary Protective Service expects as many as 10,000 protesters this weekend in Ottawa, but that figure could be significantly higher. A day ago, we noted 50,000 trucks in a 70km (43.5 miles) long convoy are headed to the capital.

According to the Guinness Book of World Records, the Freedom Convoy is "the largest parade of trucks" ever in the world.
"It’s 70 km (43.5 miles) long,” says Freedom Convoy 2022 spokesperson Benjamin Dichter to the Toronto Sun.
“I have seen footage from an airplane. It’s impressive."
The trucker convoy has been arriving in the capital for the past 12 hours. Additional waves of the convoy will arrive later this afternoon.

Prime Minister of Canada Justin Trudeau called the convoy a "small fringe minority" of those who "do not represent the views of Canadians." Judging by the pictures and videos so far, Trudeau is a liar, and a revolt is underway in the country. Corporate media and government have spent the better part of the week downplaying the convoy ( because they are scared).
On Friday, Trudeau told the Canadian Press that he was worried about the protest turning violent. Organizers of the event have told truckers and anyone else participating in the demonstration to remain peaceful.

CBC said Trudeau and his family left downtown Ottawa on Saturday morning (due to close contact with someone infected with COVID - although he tested negative and triple-jabbed) as the trucker convoy descended on the area. The local news said he left town due to security concerns.
OTTAWA - A “few” truckers with “unacceptable opinions” now lead the world in the fight to end discrimination and division.

The convoy is expected to bring parts of the metro area to a standstill and block roads in front of parliament until lawmakers repeal a vaccine mandate for truckers hauling freight across the border.
Despite Trudeau calling the protest "small," Ottawa police chief Peter Sloly said they planned a "massive" demonstration on Friday.
Watch Live here...
There are actors in Ottawa right now leftists acting like freedom protesters and undercover RCMP doing the FBI thing Up North.
Canadian Press is stuck on Russia replay like a needle stuck on an album.
Pewtin’s stewjes!
So we need thank you cards in Cyrillic?
They are Putin us on.
The only thing about this that doesn’t surprise me is the fact they didn’t blame Trump.
They skipped Trump, and went right to Putin.
Wall seems the only one with any power or shot at power in Canada who has his head screwed on right. Kenny is a leaf in the wind, and O’Toole is trying to find the middle ground to the left of Romney and the right of Jumping Jim Jeffords.
I like the description of Saskatchewan as a “Canadian Province that borders on the U.S.
All Canadian provinces that are not effectively islands have land borders with the U.S.—people have to live somewhere, and most Canadians live close to the U.S. (or in Edmonton) so of course you need a land border with the U.S. if you are going to be a province.
(yes Nova Scotia is technically a peninsula, and since Newfoundland was given Labrador part of the province technically has a land border with Quebec).
Most Americans aren’t even aware of the convoy.
Lord,
“We come before you, not as Americans, Canadians, or any other nationalities. Nor as man, woman, or child. ...Lord, we come before you as your children, with love and hope in our hearts.... We pray that you not only watch over our heros in Ottawa but those taking up the good fight in other areas of thisl world. ....Lord, protect our people as they stand and defend the freedoms we were born with.... Lord, keep peace in their hearts and strength in their spirit....In Jesus Name Amen.”
(I just saw this on another place so I copied and pasted)
They will soon.
“I hope the Russians trick me into voting for Trump again in 2024”
They will when these truckers hit DC and surround it.....that’s coming.
Love it!
“I hope the Russians trick me into voting for Trump again in 2024”
