Every land border crossing is considered a “Port” also in border crossing language just to throw in a tidbit of information relevant to the conversation.

Like the “Port of Emerson MB 0502” or the “Port of North Portal SK 0602” etc…

Ports aren’t just on the water like one would think in this context.
Well then, all the more reason to take up this issue with the President of the United States as he is the one that mandated vaccinations for truckers to cross the border.

I think that this convoy is more than just about vaccine choice. I think it started that way but has evolved into something much more. As stated by the Commercial Truckers Association that most truckers are vaccinated so why the convoy if that's all it's about? I believe that people realize that this can be the impetus to stop all the Bull Crap. the government(s) are imposing on us. People are pissed off & want to get back to normal & the truckers are simply a way to participate in the "revolt". We are the government and we want the freedom to choose what we put in our bodies. The fact that Trudeau & other politicians feel it's their place to decide what is "best" for us is absolutely the wrong way to go and this is likely only the start. We need to kybosh the effort to control the population by governments who do not have our best interests in mind.

It is truly unfortunate that governments the world over have decided that they know what's best for their population by dictating. This could have been done in a different, more humane way by providing the facts & letting US and our medical professionals decide on what's best for us and how we should or shouldn't comply. Dictating to us will not work in the long run. It's about our freedom to live and work and play at OUR discretion.

There are those who don't agree with what's happening and that's fine as they're entitled to their opinions. There are others who agree and that's fine too although it means they have no issue letting someone "boss them around". Unfortunately, these are the control freaks or tyrants who figure that they can "force" people to do things they don't want to do and that seems to be fine by them but that's not freedom. If we don't stop this tyranny now, the control will only continue and we'll lose even more of our freedoms.

Not only does it not represent the majority of Canadians, according to the news I just watched and the interviews on the news (not CBC) the Truckers Asssociations of Canada and Trucking Companies of Canada do not endorse what this protest has become. The Trucking association said the protest has lost it's initial intent and has been taken over by malcontents.
There’s just so much conflicting information surrounding this, and so many on their own tangents (and I’m not just talking those with their own bent attaching to this convoy, but Justin & Jagmeet too). Who knows what’s real and what’s not at this point but I think Monday morning will help sort things out with actual video of what’s happening in Ottawa.

Back to normal??? I think there are far more people that would rather have what it has come to. A IPSOS poll asked people if they wanted to get back to normal and go back to the office and most said no, they would rather stay working from home.
The governments have been elected to ensure the health and safety of all, no just the few.

Do you or anyone in their right mind think any government that imposed restrictions and rules sat in their enclosures and imposed restrictions without getting facts and advice from medical/health/emergency/pandemic professionals? If you think so, you need to give your head a shake.

Ya, they'll stay at home because THEY'RE AFRAID which is exactly what the governments want. Stop being so frickin' afraid and LIVE!! You can still wear a mask IF YOU CHOOSE, and/or do the Social Distancing and "wash your hands on a regular basis" (which one should have been doing before anyway. I don't see the issue. Not that any of it will make a difference but if you feel comfortable doing it, then go ahead! No one should have an issue with it. The rest is simply B.S

If we were talking late 2019/early 2020, yes, we followed what we were supposed to do since nothing was known about this virus but now that we know more about the virus restrictions need to be stopped.

Hey, it's the majority of those polled that want to stay home.
I don't think that it's because they are afraid, i think it's because they got used to doing very little as oppose tot being in the office and being supervised and having to work LOL
Personally, I think everyone should go back to work as before this shit began but, now the unions have gotten a taste of this and like it.

"Tens of Thousands Greet Convoy"

I think this is the Canadian version of America's NASCAR. In the South, thousands gather to watch cars turn left for 3 hours.

Here, untold thousands are showing up to watch parked trucks for 3 hours. Oh well, it's January in Canada...nothing else to do I suppose.

The article says they met the truckers along the convoy route
