Freedom convoy 2022: Truckers protest COVID vaccine mandate to cross Canada-US borderLines of trucks continued to roll into Ottawa, Canada, on Saturday afternoon, January 29, to join a convoy of truckers protesting outside parliament against COVID-19 vaccine mandates for cross-border travel. Hey I'm Canadian. This is disgraceful and very embarrassing. A tiny minority might actually think this is a good thing, but most of us are doing are best to get through and don't support it. They burned their mission by calling this a Freedom Convoy. Right off the bat, that defines their agenda, and it’s disgraceful. Being vaccinated gives us freedom TO SURVIVE the virus, which has no mercy. These people are selfish. I still don't understand why some are waving Confederate Flags and Nazi flags in Canada.
