A group of truckers has garnered millions in fundraising dollars from droves of supporters as it drives across the country to protest vaccine mandates, despite the vast majority of big-riggers having been jabbed.
Harwil Farms Mobile Feeds, whose 12 drivers deliver feed to farms and livestock to slaughterhouses in southern Ontario, donated $5,000 to the convoy, making it among the top contributors.“It doesn't seem to be working very well, does it? You've got people that are double, triple vaxxed, and they're still getting the Omicron,” she said.Research from studies in the U.S.
A slew of semis rolled through Calgary early Monday morning, though many may not be bound for Ottawa as some truckers sought to show solidarity for a few hours rather than 3,500 kilometres. Other groups such as a Montreal contingent are slated to leave the West Island on Saturday at 7 a.m. for a 200-kilometre trip - at far lower cost in food and fuel.
Reese Evans, general manager of Evans Trucking, said 14 of his 36 drivers who typically haul lumber across the Alberta-Montana border are unvaccinated - and largely out of commission following the vaccine mandate. His outfit donated $5,000 to the campaign. The funding support for the convoy suggests broad popular support, he said, though public opinion polls since August show a vast majority of Canadians back vaccine mandates for essential workers.
Will they be going to the US border to protest the US requirements?
Those millions should be spent doing something actually useful and needed in society.
Shame
They aren't vaccine hesitant. They are anti-vaxxers who think that earth is flat.
The “fledgling fleet” lol
It’s not just ‘vaccine hesitant’. It’s also people who don’t want their children to grow up in a world that’s moving in the wrong direction. Less government is needed. Freedom is so important. This is not an anti vax movement and don’t paint it as one.
Wow you guys have no idea what this is about and you call yourselves reporters 😂😂
Trucker convoy from Vancouver to Ottawa raises millions as fully vaccinated and anti vax supporters flock to cause. Fixed it.

The grift is stroooong
It’s not about vaccines. It’s about our freedom. I am fully vaccinated and fully support this movement!
Also let's not forget that most truck drivers are new to Canada they're immigrants coming from countries with very high covid rates they barely speak English and they need to be vaccinated that's it or lose your license if you actually have a truck driver's license
Not vaccine resistant, 'vaccine' opposed. These 'vaccines' are not regular and have zero long term peer reviewed studies. If you want to pass on them it should be easy to do so. If you want them, great. If your boss made you have sex to keep your job is that acceptable? ? ?
I had to get vaccinated to keep my job they should have to do the same thing they have kept their jobs through the entire pandemic they never stopped working and now that the shoe's on the other foot that were asking them to do one thing there's a problem
Pathetic all that money could feed so many and house others..very selfish individuals they could do so much more for so many needing it.
NOT JUST VACCINE HESITANT PEOPLE!!! THEY ARE STANDING UP FOR OUR COUNTRY AND ALL OF THE MANDATES. THEY ARE THE ONES FIGHTING FOR ALL OF CANADAS FREEDOM! STOP SEPERATING PEOPLE!!!
Being Anti-Everything is the best grift ever. $$$
This is about something bigger than vaccine hesitant Canadians, many are vaxxed as am I. It's about mandating citizens to have a something injected in their arm or starve. Do you think freedom lost is ever regained?
CTV … maybe read some information before you report garbage. I used to consider you somewhat news worthy. Your “reporting” is completely ridiculous.
just another scam by professional grifters
Raise millions for who? To pay for the fuel?
Will they go to Washington to protest also ? Oh no they can’t cross the border the US won’t let them in .
This is way beyond vacinnes now.
Read the room JT
'Unvaccinated truckers demand Canada's government change US government's rules on unvaccinated truckers.' If ignorance was a commodity, Canada's conservatives and anti-vaxxers would all be billionaires. 🤔
LOL You Douches are going down too
