Nobody has mentioned this so I will. Not as big as touted but big none the less, thousands in Ottawa supporting the truckers and lining highways and bridges. The media and Liberals are busy calling them racist and other smears but so far they haven't lived up to what the Left is hoping for.
Meanwhile, Trudeau has gone into hiding, says he has to isolate blah blah blah, what a weasel. I understand security issues but really, if he stood outside Parliament, greeted them said he appreciates their concerns yadda yadda then explained why he is continuing with the mandates in a straightforward non condescending manner, minus the bafflegab IMO he would win more respect. He won't, and so far no other Liberal will either, they have all left Ottawa or hiding.

He started 3 days ago saying he was in a meeting and was near Covid so had to isolate, next it was one of his kids, now his security detail is hiding him, so now it seems he didn't have to lie about Covid after all. His security is making a nice hiding place for him to wait out the uprising, the Liberals are scrambling .

I'm in the minority here.
These truckers have no standing to be greeted or anything else.
What they are protesting is having to vaccinate to cross the international border.
Well both the U.S. and the Canadian government have laws in place in order to do that.
The only way to change a law is through Parliament and Congress.
Petition your representative. That's how democracy works.
I hope Trudeau doesn't knuckle down to threats and tells them what his father said about changing their diet.
Mange le merde
What is the new vaccine mandate for truckers?
The mandate, which was first announced in November and came into effect on Jan. 15, requires Canadian truckers to be doubly vaccinated in order to avoid having to quarantine for 14 days when returning from the United States. Truckers had previously been exempt from border vaccination requirements as essential service providers. The U.S. also implemented a similar mandate, which went into effect on Jan. 22.
The protesting truckers are demanding that the federal government drop the vaccine mandate. “Our current government is implementing rules and mandates that are destroying the foundation of our business, industries and livelihoods,” the GoFundMe fundraiser set up for the convoy reads. The Canadian Chamber of Commerce has also argued that the federal government has not produced statistics showing that truck drivers are a major source of COVID-19 infections in Canada.

I don't think there's any worry about Trudeau knuckling under, he's hiding away until it's over, and then will reappear when the coast is clear.. much like the groundhog on Feb 2. The original trucker complaint of allowing unvaccinated drivers to haul then forcing them to get vaccinated now, would have gained support if all the other crazies hadn't joined in. Now it's everybody against everything, swastikas, confederate flags, and assorted crudeness. Their demands won't happen but might show Trudeau just how much he's disliked, hopefully he will consider resigning, but he's probably too stubborn and egotistical.

His saving grace (Trudeau) is that he doesn't care if he's liked as long as he gets the votes.

Well, he managed to throw gasoline on the fire today, he is no leader. I didn't expect he would cave in but he could've toned it down, calling people names again just stokes it.
There has been zero arrests and zero violence. One idiot with a nazi flag does not make all the protesters racist. If it did then Trudeau in Blackface would make all liberals racists. See how that works. Stop the hate and division.
Frontline workers are truckers too. In simpler terms, Trudeau will only meet with friendly media and those who agree with his corruption and his policies.
Meeting only with the people that agree with him is not the mark of a good leader IMH. Which goals does he disagree with, the right to protest? Or - The genuine frustration of people “he was elected to govern” over two years of pandemic action that has reached the point of diminishing returns and collateral damage?

Originally he was supposed to have got it from a meeting so had to isolate, conveniently when the truckers appeared. Then one of his kids, then 2 of his kids, and now him, so he can hide away and work from home for a long time yet. Who's next ?

O'Toole has made a terrible mistake in supporting the truckers. Now the Americans get into the act by blocking the highway between Montana and Alberta. And they probably have guns. Happy everyone?

It's a post in one of the other forums I belong to.US Truckers have been inspired by the thousands of Canadian truckers who have formed a massive convoy to protest vaccine mandates. Many of the American truckers who are participating in the Canadian convoy, which consists of over 50,000 truckers, are planning to turn their rigs to California and start a new convoy to DC to protest US vaccine mandates.

I try to deal in factual info, a post in a forum by some anonymous entity is suspect.

American truckers support the protest. They have parked their trucks on the American side at border points in support.
