Canada Prime Minister Justin Trudeau may have dismissed the “Freedom Convoy” as a fringe minority, but the images out of Ottawa of crowds braving icy temperatures tell a completely different story.
On Sunday, photos and video poured out across social media revealing that the truckers in protest of the country’s vaccine mandate had a tremendous amount of support from citizens, many of whom took to the frozen streets well into the dark of night in solidarity with the movement.
Canada isn’t going to take more lockdowns and COVID restrictions.

Liberals have been posting nonsense suggesting the Canadian truck convoy scenes are only recycled footage of "regular traffic." This is the actual scene from Saskatchewan to Ottawa. #FreedomConvoy2022 #LiberateCanada #TrudeauNationalDisgrace #NoMandatesAnywhere pic.twitter.com/ampDDhRSU6

Mask mandates are useless in Canada’s capital, Ottawa. Hotels and malls are allowing people to be maskless. In my hotel alone, there are hundreds of maskless people like myself. And the staff are respectful and don’t even bother asking anyone to wear one.
