3 cheers today for the Canadian truckers inspiring so many to resist tyranny. The capital city today is in gridlock with trucks and from what I understand these folks won't be leaving for a long minute.
They lost public opinion war though. Ftr forcing truck drivers to get vaxxed doesn’t make a lot of sense. Hospital or nursing home staff I understand. Anyways 85 percent of Canadian truckers are vaxxed.
But they just pissed off a lot of people being here. Hell they even hit up the local shelters and took food that was supposed to be for the homeless. How fucking low can you go? Then the local shelter had to release a public relations statement indocating staff felt threatened which is why they gave them the food. The whole downtown was basically like Canada day. Bunch of frat boys getting drunk setting off fireworks and pissing and shutting all over cause they don’t have washroom facilities. They actually forced a lot of restaurants and stores to shut down. And they are supposed to be anti lockdown. It’s all selfish behaviour.
Oh and the organizers raised 6 million dollars and there’s no accountability in terms of what’s happening with that money.
Oh ya and a bunch of people had trump 2024 shit, confederate flags, and even at least one nazi flag that was captured on camera. A large portion of the people there don’t give a fuck about truckers. Only to the extent that it benefits their own agenda.

It's been an incredibly difficult weekend for our downtown shelter and soup kitchen programs. Our staff and volunteers faced significant barriers to get in to work. The only volunteer to make it in parked far away and walked.
Trucks were parked in our ambulance drop off zone for nearly 12 hours until they were removed and towed with the support of Ottawa Police Services. The incessant honking and noise from trucks, caused significant anxiety and distress to our staff and shelter residents. The Salvation Army Outreach van was not able to run in the downtown core. All shelters in the sector had to figure out contingency plans for client transportation.
The staff and volunteers at our soup kitchen experienced verbal harassment and pressure from protesters seeking meals. While we are not certain of exact numbers, the demands for meals and verbal altercations continued for several hours over the dinner period. One member of our shelter community was assaulted by protesters. A security guard went to his aid and was threatened and called racial slurs.
These incidents occurred two years to the day from the declaration of a State of Emergency on Housing and Homelessness in Ottawa. Since then, we have battled an unprecedented global pandemic. We have lost many community members due to the toxic overdose crisis. Our staff are beyond exhausted. We are so proud of how they have weathered the events of this weekend, as they weather all things, with courage and compassion.
Shepherds of Good Hope has been overwhelmed by the response we've received from our community and across the country. Thank you - we are extremely grateful to have this opportunity to highlight the incredible work done by our teams.

Trudeau is the Nazi is what they are saying.
They aren't promoting Nazism lol
The funny thing was that even if someone decided to manufacture or buy a Nazi flag to take to a protest you;d imagine that one of their friends who has an IQ above 70 would think to tell them that "hey maybe you shouldn't be having a Nazi flag when you are being accused of being white supremacists".
In fairness, most of these people are just low-middle class rednecks who don;t know any better and actually think it's funny to pretend they are (like the guy in the twitter video).
