Trucker convoy opposed to COVID-19 vaccine mandates gets big greeting in Winnipeg

A large convoy of truck drivers and supporters making its way to Ottawa to protest COVID-19 vaccine mandates was greeted by a throng of supporters Tuesday on the outskirts of Winnipeg.

“If we’re willing to do this, and truckers are willing to give up their income and do this, you know we stand for something,” Laurie Hamilton, a 66-year-old retiree, said as she stood beside the road with her daughter.The convoy, which started in British Columbia, has grown as it rolls east. There were about 1,200 trucks and other vehicles by the time it reached Regina on Monday night, police in the Saskatchewan capital said.

Not getting vaccinated has meant Ross can’t cross the border. In parts of Canada with vaccine passport requirements, Ross also can’t go into restaurants. There were other signs too. A few referenced communism. Some used profanity in talking about Prime Minister Justin Trudeau.There have been fears of extremists latching onto the protest, including a group that has talked online about the convoy’s arrival and subsequent rally in Ottawa possibly spurring an insurrection similar to the one in the United States last year on Jan. 6.

Conservative MP Candice Bergen, in a written statement, said she supports peaceful actions by the truckers. A Calgary woman, who would only give her name as Delores, said the convoy is more than a protest against vaccine mandates for truckers. She said it’s also about an “us versus them” mentality that she believes applies to the vaccinated and unvaccinated.

Just get vaccinated. People are hospitalized and dying. Ffs.

What a waste of time and resources

Lol

Why do you keep on asserting they are anti-Vacers or vaccination hesitant or whatever the hell you call i! get what the program it’s all about your freedom of a right as a Canadian. Period. Get objective, Globe and Mail unbelievable

Now THAT'S a big greeting. Article states that most of 1200 vehicles are not semis, so it looks a bit like a normal afternoon on the 401 as they cruise the prairies belching diesel fumes. This may go over like a lead fart.

Come out and greet the “really big” convoy of clowns.

Clown show drives through Winnipeg while other idiots cheer.

Many of these protesters will soon be clogging up a hospital near you.

This whole movement is funded and organized by white nationalists! Do 5 min of research before embarrassing yourself.

BIG? You know what is big? All their truck and insurance payments! Folks they are due in 4 days. Get vaccinated and go home.

Truckin’ right! TruckYouTrudeau TruckersConvoy2022

“I can’t go into restaurants. I can’t go into bathrooms. I’m out on the road, going in the bushes with the bears.”

I bet Winnipeg is happy to be inhaling all that carcinogenic diesel exhaust 😬

HOLY CRAP! Is that ever a big greeting! 😂🤣😂🤣

tax them

Doctors and Nurses don't count to these people Maybe Doctors & Nurses should March on Ottawa too for protection Nothing dumber than the truckers protesting ....what would they say if the medical professionals did the same for protection

A fringe group trying to appear as something more significant.

Fully vaxed and support the truckers, and it’s against the bs mandates not vaccines. Get your story straight

Save your good popcorn for the Sudbury-Ottawa stretch of Hwy.17. Wilderness choke points. Weather. First Nations Territory. Canadiana at its best.

Drigs, Drugs, Drugs... Which are good, which are bad... Drugs, Drugs, Drugs... ask your mom or ask your dad 🤷‍♂️

The head of the GoFundMe Truckers is a former PPC candidate Benjamin Dichter, who said Canada was becoming infested with Muslims.

Gaining momentum

Is this the reason Trudeau isn’t living at Sussex Dr... oh, no he left because it’s in need of “Repairs”

Bullcrap

Trucker Ross complains because he refuses to get vaccinated: “I can’t go into restaurants. I can’t go into bathrooms. I’m out on the road, going in the bushes with the bears.” Are we supposed to feel bad for these idiots? Get vaccinated. End of story.

I am fully vaxxed with a boost. I support the truckers 100%

Ofcourse. The same City crowned the most racist in Canada for a reason

Time to investigate the wexit wingnuts for using GoFundMe to violate election finance reporting laws: Lich was regional co-ordinator for Wexit in SE AB & had past links to Yellow Vest extremist movement FluTruxKlan

per Twitter:

Did someone hold up a REALLY BIG SIGN that said greetings? Is that what you mean by big greeting Stop magnifying this b/s - its a small minority of 🤡🤡

FluTruxKlan in action.

If that's a big greeting, you need a better pic

We were there, it's incredible what we are witnessing. More then half are passenger vehicles. Vehicles at every mile road. 1000's as you near Winnipeg. People are fed up. So much hate for JustinTrudeau this is not about the Vaccine anymore. It's freedom. FreedomConvoy2022

Don’t confuse supporting truckers with the whole country wanting to remove vaccine mandates. We just had an election and there’s still a lot of support for vaccine mandates especially for families of people in Long Term Care homes.

So they have changed their minds about ‘securing the border’?

is that what they're really protesting tho, follow the money and put that in your headlines

Total bs.

This protest goes well beyond opposition to mandatory vaccination. People in this country are fed up with the totalitarian government interference in their lives. They want all COVID-related restrictions to end immediately.

Looks like a tidal wave of humanity.

THIS IS HISTORY IN THE MAKING CANADIANS AND CANADIAN TRUCKERS ARE FINALLY SAYING NO! WeTheNorth WeThePeople TruckersConvoy2022 TruckersForFreedom TruckerConvoy2022 Truckers TruckerforFreedom freedomconvoy FreedomRally Canada Canadians COVID19

They’ll be getting greetings all over! Unlike Trudeau who was booed his whole campaign.
