The elites' morally obscene response to the Canadian trucker convoy: There's a deep fear that the Canadian truckers are going to be the first crack in the dam of their virtually unlimited power.

Something big is happening in Canada, and it's happening in a typically Canadian way. After two years of draconian lockdowns and mandates, truckers are pushing back with a 45-mile-long convoy that pulled into Ottawa yesterday. It's exciting and inspiring. It's also drawing the elites out from cover, as they abandon any pretense of supporting the people they applauded so vigorously

The Canadians have been renowned for being an obedient, peaceable people. But perhaps we've forgotten that there's a warrior strain in them. During WWI and WWII, some of the British Empire's most ferocious fighters came from Canada. That blend of warrior and peaceful soul seems to have come together with the massive Freedom Convoy that Canadian (and some American) truckers have driven from Vancouver to Ottawa, Canada's capital.

I wrote about the convoy on Friday, along with lots of videos.  It's incredibly inspiring to see these cheerful truckers driving along Canada's frozen lands, cheered on by hundreds and thousands of people wherever they go.  Tucker interviewed another trucker on Friday night, and it's moving to see his good spirits and optimism as he and his fellow truckers push back against the effort to make them bow down to the technocracy for which COVID has provided a glide path.

These truckers stand for all the people in the West who have done everything their political leaders forced upon them. While the power class (politicians, media, the professoriate, billionaires, etc.) sheltered at home, these people — whether truckers, store clerks, sanitation people, bus drivers, police, or dozens of other jobs that needed to be done — bravely went out despite the fear of an unknown disease. Back then, the leaders were grateful. Indeed, Justin Trudeau couldn't say enough for truckers:

Actually, pretty decent reporting on this one.

Large crowds gathered in Hamilton and Niagara to support the trucker convoy on the way to Ottawa

I’m OK. Just bad back problems mainly arthritis.
After 5 weeks on my back in ICU I will probably never be back 100%

Two weeks of pain, or the rest of your life (and your children’s lives) in servitude and pain.

Cool. Let's call it 15 days to flatten the Great Reset.

Hope you get better. I had a spinal fusion and 10 years later the pain never ends. A puppy will force you to do physical therapy you never thought possible.

It’s rough and good idea with puppies.
I have to get out of the cold. Winter is debilitating.

I know 2 women who had the spinal fusion because of chronic pain. They literally skipped around like children. I was so happy for them. 3 weeks later, they both were hit by pain that was worse than the original. I don’t understand the process, why that would happen.

I am on HCQ for my arthritis. It works really well for me.

The Trucker Revolution continues.

The era of the road warriors has begun.

Re: And send a couple of thousand trucks out to Nova Scotia to test their punitive new rules.

Maybe the more effective strategy would be to not send ANY trucks to Nova Scotia until their supply chain is disrupted to the point where it is FUBAR.
