The Canadian Trucker Freedom Protest has been an event of the century — fed up with forced vaccine mandates to cross the US-Canadian border, Canadian truckers began a freedom convoy to Ottawa. From there things dominoed — with truckers from all over Canada joining them and setting up protests in several other key areas of the country, the farmers joining them, and then truckers in Australia and all over Europe (Germany, France, Austria, Italy, etc) creating their own freedom convoys.
“A Small, Fringe Minority”
Initially, Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau called the truckers a “small, fringe minority.” Despite the fact that millions were turning out to protest.
National Emergency
By February 17, Trudeau announced a national emergency and invoked emergency powers, issuing in a totalitarian state that allowed him to send in the military police to arrest the truckers.
Freezing Bank Accounts of Supporters
By the first weekend, $11 million had been donated to the truckers via GoFundMe — but GoFundMe then announced it considered the truckers an anarchist group and was freezing the money — initially requiring donors to fill in a form to get their money back, and announcing they would give any money not returned to a charity of their choice. After a huge backlash, GoFundMe announced they would automatically return donor money.
Donors then gave money to GiveSendGo — and within a week close to $10 million had been raised there. But then the Canadian Government announced that it was illegal to give anything to the truckers, who they labeled a terrorist group, and it would freeze any money donated to them via GiveSendGo, and also freeze bank accounts of donors. A few days later in mid February, an anonymous technical force broke into GiveSendGo and stole the donor list. Within days, the main-stream propaganda media published the donor list, doxing all donors.
Key Tweets As History Is Written in Front of Us
Here are key tweets that show the Canadians coming out by the millions to support the truckers:
