Trudeau flees as trucker convoy enters Ottawa

As thousands of protesters entered Ottawa, Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau and his family were moved from their home to an undisclosed location somewhere in the city on Saturday afternoon due to security concerns, CBC reports.

A "Freedom Convoy" of some 2,700 trucks entered the Canadian capital city of Ottawa Saturday to protest Trudeau's COVID-19 policies, Reuters reported.

According to the Independent, around 100 big rigs blockaded a main street running past the Canadian parliament building.

The convoy, which approached the capital from all sides, began as a protest against a vaccine mandate for Canadian truckers crossing the U.S.-Canada border but grew into a wider expression of discontent with the government's COVID-19 policies.

"These demonstrations are national in scope, they're massive in scale," Ottawa police chief Peter Sloly said Friday, expressing concern about the possibility of violent "lone wolf" individuals carrying out violent acts.

The protest has drawn criticism from many sides. The Canadian Trucking Alliance condemned the convoy. Nova Scotia banned people from congregating along the highways to support the protesting truckers. A Washington Post cartoonist drew a convoy of tractor-trailers with "Fascism" written on the side of each one. Trudeau said Friday that the convoy members and their supporters hold "unacceptable views," The Guardian reported.

"Western Democracies" worldwide are too stupid and filled to the brim with hubris to realize their very regimes are at stake.

"The future's uncertain and the end is always near."

What a craven little byatch he is.

Him fleeing shows how much he himself believes in his absurd woke, statist ideology.

What a puss. Drama teacher turns into drama queen. Nobody wants the fancy sock soy boy. They want all the covid shit to come to a screeching halt. No mandates, no vax passes, nothing. Get back to normal. He can just be a good little fruitcake, drop all of the covid crap, and stay in hiding until his term ends or he quits.

Trudeau is fleeing because of fear of exposure to COVID-19 from all those truckers who obviously have “cooties” that are the vector for superspreading events.

Didn’t he get his shots?

Maybe Trudeau is unsure of whatever immunity is conferred, and is truly panicked.

There was a rumor that the “undisclosed location” was Costa Rica.

Paranoid little pansy, no? In a few days he’ll come out and say how he couldn’t sleep and feared for his life the whole time. Or possibly something more dramatic as he ran from the barbarian hordes!
