Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau has fled the capital Ottawa for a secret location as up to 50,000 truckers have gathered to protest against the country’s vaccine mandate and Covid lockdowns. MailOnline has more.
Hundreds of truckers drove their giant rigs into the Canadian capital Ottawa on Saturday as part of a self-titled ‘Freedom Convoy’ which started as a protest against vaccine mandates required to cross the US border.
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.
The movement received an endorsement Thursday from Tesla and SpaceX founder Elon Musk, who tweeted, “Canadian truckers rule” and the movement has become a cause celebre for many on the right of politics in the United States.
Flying the Canadian flag, waving banners demanding ‘Freedom’ and chanting slogans against Prime Minister Justin Trudeau, the truckers were joined by thousands of other protesters angered not only by COVID-19 restrictions but by broader discontent with the Government.
There was an enormous clamor as hundreds of big trucks, their engines rumbling, sounded their air horns non-stop. Estimates of the number of truckers range from 10-20,000.
Closer to Parliament, families calmly marched on a bitterly cold day, while young people chanted and older people in the crowd banged pots and pans in protest under Trudeau’s office windows.
Canadian media said the prime minister and his family had been escorted out of their home and taken to a secret location in the capital, with much of the protesters’ wrath directed at Trudeau.
“I want it all to stop – these measures are unjustified,” said one demonstrator, 31-year-old businessman Philippe Castonguay, outside the Parliament building.
He had driven seven hours from northern Quebec province to make his feelings known: “The vaccination requirements are taking us toward a new society we never voted for,” he said.
Trudeau said Friday that the truckers’ views – which he described as anti-science, anti-government and anti-society – posed a risk not only to themselves but to other Canadians as well.

I note that the infandous Trudeau allegedly has the coof.
If true, it merely emphasises that these jabs are totally useless at preventing infection and transmission. Any very limited efficacy they might contain disappears in about two months.
As an aside, the BBC’s journalists appear to have collective myopia as none of them managed to notice the 60,000 50-mile long convoy!!
For ”escorted out of their home and taken to a secret location in the capital, read ”bundled out in the dead of night, and carried, quaking with fear, to a secret location in a different part of the world”.
There’s a report that Hidin’ Justin will deliver remarks and hold a media availability later this morning (Jan 31, 2022). This should be entertaining, if nothing else. Assuming of course it happens. I’m sure his large squadron of speechwriters have worked tirelessly these past several days to cobble something that won’t make him sound like a complete nutter. 😉
It is Trudeau that has proven himself to be “anti-science, anti-government and anti-society“. It is Trudeau that is now the “fringe“. He has to resign, and his entire government with it.
The bottom line is this. Even the jabbed now know at least twenty people with covid, all triple jabbed. What exactly was the purpose of these jabs? People are beginning to wake up. Many adverse events and deaths post vaxx. Cdc VAERS, Joel Smalley data. More information coming from practicing cardiologists, paediatricians, neurologists, ob/gyn, intensivists, psychiatrists.
when people like Justin refuse to accept the reality, because? Well, I will leave that question right there. I think I know why, but wouldn’t want to say anything unkind.
10 to 20000 truckers? Over 60000!!! The convoy is 100km long now!
How can we know that?
If they can tell us how many vehicles and armaments of all sizes President Putin has on the Ukrainian border, then I daresay the size of a convoy of trucks on straight roads across the prairies can be estimated. Don’t you think?
Whitty has been plugged back into his stasis chamber until the agenda requires his services again.
This protest is massive. Even with very little press coverage by the MSM, the whole world is watching. It is truly inspirational. Go truckers!
And now Australia – and other places too?
News just in, the truckers have won:
https://www.cbc.ca/news/canada/saskatchewan/scott-moe-proof-of-vaccination-twitter-1.6332514
Proof that protest is crucial in the fight against tyranny.
Not perhaps won but the pressure does appear to be telling.
According to Saskatchewan’s premier, the province will end the current proof of negative test and proof of vaccination policy “in the not-too-distant future.”
Hardly ‘winning’. Why not end it today? Here we go with the ‘tide is turning – house of cards collapsing’ nonsense.
“Up to 50000 truckers” – how many were there really? Apparently nobody knows in these modern times.
In the aerial videos in front of parliament you could see maybe a couple hundred trucks plus perhaps a few thousand people.
And keep in mind that a bit over 100000 truckers in total work in Canada, 15% of them unvaccinated. Somehow it seems rather unlikely that 35000 unvaccinated ones would join the protest out of solidarity, as much as we’d like it to be true…
Moron
Get help.
Do you mean 35K vaccinated ones?
Unthinkable that the vaccinated would stand up for other people’s right to choose. Could lead to informed consent, freedom of speech and other horrors. Thank God we have macho Trudeau to stand up to these people!
Sometimes you sound quite intelligent – at other times really quite a dullard. Are you playing to the audience, perhaps?
Perhaps it’s because you’re socially inept, so you find it hard to believe other people may just have selfless and honourable intentions.
You sound like quite a sad person, actually.
Justin Trudeau: “There’s a level of admiration I actually have for China. Their basic dictatorship is actually allowing them to turn their economy around on a dime and say, ‘We need to go green, we want to start investing in solar’.”
Piss off to China then, you nonce.
That’s Trudeau, not you EF.
Babylon Bee spot on again. When did satire sites produce better quality and more accurate news articles?

I was at a big rock concert a few days ago. One of the guitarists spoke on the mic between songs to tell us how he had come all the way from Canada. I think he was expecting a big cheer but instead there was this awkward silence that I interpreted as everyone cringing and thinking “Ouch, sorry to hear that”. If I had more powerful lungs I would have loved to yell “fuck Trudeau” during that silence.
I recently saw an interview on YouTube with ex Canadian PM, Stephen Harper, and the gulf in maturity and intellect between he and his successor was mind blowing.
The repellant little mincer, whose gaff proneness, extremist wokery, and low IQ, has somehow managed to cling on through three elections, although the latter two he has received less votes than the Conservative challenger. But still, a lot of Canadians vote for him and that is the puzzling part in this…
He does have the full backing of Canada’s very limited and poor mainstream media, especially their equivalent of BBC, known as CBC.
Meanwhile in the UK:
-. The govt is consulting on sweeping changes to the HRA, notably to give judges the right to reinterpret rights. Marketed as getting out of the clutches of the ECHR but ultimately to limit the scope of existing rights whilst at the same time qualifying them by reference to “common good” obligations.
– The policing and crime bill sought to criminalise almost all protests not even close to those on the scale of Canada
– True freedom of speech underpinning all other rights, freedoms and values in our society under severe threat via official legal routes and general woke cancel culture most obviously the cancellation of what used to constitute science under the fake guise of preventing ‘misinformation’ (open definition).
A cynic might say all of these have been purposefully stoked up as being necessary by the govt and police’s inaction on illegal immigration, the non policing of BLM protests, and permitting the continuance of non crime hate incidents being pursued despite the Miller case in order to provide the incontrovertible solution which marries up nicely with the inhuman puritanical system of global governance our western govts seem intent on pushing on us.
Where the British wally Boris Johnson should be is in Derry, laying a wreath for the victims of Bloody Sunday. Then at least people could say he had done one dignified thing in his life.
I don’t think he would be very welcome there
Greetings from Canada. The Freedom Convoy has caught the country’s imagination; I’ve seen nothing like this since Terry Fox. Parts of the mainstream media continue to warn of violence and predict another January 6, but the first day went by without incidents.
I’ve spent the whole week blogging on the Convoy’s progress. Everyone is welcome to visit my blog and check out the articles and videos:

Where’s the Wally?
That sounds a bit like abuse and profanity. Will it lead to a permanent ban? 😉
If they’re suggesting his location should be revealed that could put him at risk from the violent far-right truckers, so it’s pretty much incitement.
…
Unsurprisingly, the freedom convoy was predicted by the Simpson’s years ago, right down to Trudeau fleeing the scene.

Clips from 2 different episodes edited together, unfortunately!
You have a clear grasp of the obvious. The point is the clip is apposite and hilarious.
Pushing fake propaganda does nothing for the credibility of this site – I can grasp that much.
You don’t grasp light hearted, topical whimsy, that’s for sure. Propaganda? Oh please, princess!
You’re a Tuesday, Wednesday and Thursday.
Is that mask blue or BLACK?
Trudeau deserves the world’s scorn. He is by far the worst PM Canada has ever had, and is a coward of enormous proportions. Despite being a coward, he believes he has the right to control the thoughts of Canadians through unethical emergency laws.
Mr Trudeau, show some honour by resigning immediately.
I’d rather he show some honour from the bunker, in another way that cannot be said without being perma-banned.
You don’t mean The Black Pill, Blue Pill?
Sorry…..
Cowardice and bulling are familiar bedfellows.
Good on you Canadian truckers! This momentum must be kept up, and not just in Canada. Because we need a reckoning. The social fabric of societies across the world has been torn apart: constitutions have been trampled on; and gross infringements on liberty coupled with brazen censorship have become the norm. And now we are all to be coerced into a mandatory “vaccination” which will be linked to social privileges and require regular “boosting”. If implemented it means we shall all soon have to report in for a status update several times a year in order to retain our privileges, like prisoners on parole. It all points to outright tyranny.
The people who set all this in motion and supported & maintained it for 2 years under cover of an “emergency” must be held accountable. It’s up to all of us to make the effort to support demonstrations, politicians, media figures and individuals who stand up for our freedom; and to bring the guilty to book.
Damn right.
We need our UK lorry drivers to do the same. Perhaps it could include all the delivery drivers, bus drivers, and ambulance drivers.
Justin Trudeau and family move to secret location as Canada trucker protests spark security fears, report says
https://www.independent.co.uk/news/world/americas/justin-trudeau-trucker-convoy-protest-canada-b2003458.html#Echobox=1643474928
Is this the point where they try to portray the protesters as ‘dangerous’ as Trudy ‘fears for his life’? Perhaps they fear a ‘terrorist attack’ from among these fanatical Canadians?
Can you see the contrived narrative unfolding before you?
Jep … and the tinyiest bit of “law-breaking” will be blown up instantly into an “insurrection”. Now where is that Canadian Ray Epps and his mates?
I imagine Ray’s passport has many stamps.
The media will report it in factual terms until instructions are issued on how to portray it. And then they will all present it in lockstep in exactly the same way.
Watch.
You can if you read the procreating Independant.
It’s a ‘story’ that is independent of the Independent.
That’s exactly what it is, the slimy weasel weaseling out while pretending to be in grave danger.
Have they dropped the “He tested positive” report; if not you have to assume he is isolating from contact with others…..dont know what the Canadian scam CV19 regs are but is he putting his family at risk ( sarc..)
I wonder if the UK dead wood media will ever do articles on the World Economic Forum ‘Global Leaders’ program? So many of these cretins seems to be WEF trained stooges reporting to Davos. A complete illusion of ‘democracy’ when they all sing from the same globalist / technocratic authoritarian hymn sheet.
All the UK political parties have their strings pulled from above (or more likely bellow), time to return power to individuals, collectivism has shown its true colours once again.
The “dead wood media” have all been through programs of their own such as the Common Purpose graduate program. Where the hell were the intelligence services for the past few decades and especially the last 20 years?
Attending the same programs. Shooting unarmed witnesses to their schemes.

The deadwood MSM such as the BBC – their job was to deliver the Covidian mass formation psychosis, a task they achieved spectacularly well, not just this nation, all of the G7.
Slaves don’t “fit in”… they obey without question; they kneel to restrictions and humiliating deprivations willfully; they toil away on ever shrinking incomes, becoming evermore dependent on state benevolence whilst the ruling elites gorge and enrich themselves greatly; meanwhile the 99% get to embrace all the facets of this utopian “You’ll own nothing and be happy” greater-good society.
What irony? There’s nothing these sell-out globalist worshiping leftist ministers hate and fear more than an actual working-class uprising, let’s go Canadian Truckers…

I hope someone discloses his location. I hope he feels trapped inside. I hope he doesn’t feel safe.
I hope he has a good supply of Pampers.
Silly you, it was a very calculated move to focus public attention at the risk of imminent “insurrection”. He has done well knowing there was not any threat, and solely to incite his own followers against the peaceful protesters.
It sounds like you don’t hope the same?
He has followers?
Quite frankly I cannot see how Trudeau can possibly carry on as Prime Minister. The protests are so large, so widespread, he has surely lost the most important mandate, the mandate to govern.
The psychopath, self-styled “elites” don’t care about mandates, unless they are mask mandates or jab mandates.
Is he hiding in Boris’ fridge?
One of the Luciferian Schwab’s “Global leaders”
Make an example, find him, hang him by his ball bag, and beat him like a pinjata!
I suggest tie him up the populas can bite him until he is no more.Money can be charged for each bite and recirculated to those injured by poison injectables.
I suspect the part of the anatomy you want to hang him by has shrivelled up if it was ever there in the first place.
Could also just restrict ‘his’ freedom, permanently, in prison with 24-hour solitary confinement, and just to ‘protect us’ even further, booster jab ‘him’ every week.
Loving it, let’s hope it is the first overthrow of a Government with many more to come. What these bastards all across the world have jointly, and knowingly, done over the last two years needs to be dealt with. None of us voted for a New Normal, none of us voted for draconian measures. None of us should accept any of these measures and if the ERM, Gates, Fauci or any Government want them then we have to overthrow them.
Don’t be a fool, they are eagerly waiting for some overthrows (or rather attempts of such) to happen, in order to crack down with double strength “for democracy”. Just look at the Trump-Biden blueprint.
The truckers did very well for not overthrowing anything, but the cunning coward cunTrudeau still tried to implicate them as a security threat by fleeing (this is supposed to imply to the dumb mass that there was some sort of serious threat that had to be averted).
Spot on. Anything remotely “violent” – e.g. a firecracker at the end of a demonstration – ensures the entire event gets turned into a “far-right, extremist” happening. Just let the public see the truth. As more & more unpleasant, unavoidable facts & absurdities rear their heads, many people are beginning to understand that the official narrative about covid is a charade. A 75km long convoy of people threatened with massive fines, derided by the mass media, and facing the possibility of losing their jobs speaks for itself: courage is being displayed because this is a really important issue!
Another good strategy is to present people publicly with simple facts about the crumbling covid narrative that they are already thinking themselves: scrawled on a wall, a signpost or a bridge where people see it every day. Graffiti for the people in other words! For example: “It’s official: the vaccines don’t work“, “No vaccine no rights. Your choice“, “Bring back free speech“, “Beware government misinformation“, “Don’t be evil. Cancel Google!“, “How long are we going to put up with this?“, “Two jabs good. More jabs bad” and so on.
