Justin Trudeau and his family flee Canadian capital Ottawa as up to 50,000 'Freedom Convoy' anti-vaccine mandate truckers arrive at his office - days after he dismissed them as a 'small fringe minority'
[Daily Mail, where America gets its news]
  • Justin Trudeau and his family have left their Ottawa home amid security concerns as demonstrators marched up and down the streets in front the Prime Minister's office to rally against the vaccine mandate

  • Days earlier, he had called the truckers headed for the city a 'small fringe minority' before the convoy of hundreds of vehicles grew up to 45 miles long as it made its way to the capital .

  • Protestors could be seen carrying copies of the Charter of Rights and Freedoms, while others carried signs reading 'God keep our land glorious and free,' 'Make Canada great again,' and 'we are here for our freedom'

  • The convoy set out from British Columbia on Sunday and was cheered by hundreds of Canadians as it made its 2,000-mile journey to protest vaccine mandates

#1 It is a Small Fringe Group of disagreers until it knocks at your door.

So will the media tell the truth, or just take a few videos from carefully selective viewpoints and blow it off to kill the story?

#3 Jolson Trudeau's line: he was "exposed" to COVID -- not ill, mind you -- therefore must "quarantine" for five days.

#4 American Pravda grudgingly covered it yesterday, using their favorite predatory verb, "DESCENDS," in the headline:
Canadian Trucker Convoy Descends on Ottawa to Protest Vaccine Mandates

These media assholes are beyond incapable of shame, impervious to ridicule.

#6 The media's lack of coverage is quite telling, the threat of such an event in the US would be catastrophic for the rapidly fragmenting Potemkin Administration.

#9 Interesting, the ruling elite are frightened by the unclean masses. Canada now has it's own deplorables.
