Protest convoy arrives in Ottawa for major demonstration

The Canadian Prime Minister will not meet with the truckers. The Conservative Leader of the Opposition did meet with them but not on Parliament grounds. The Prime Minister says he is in covid isolation but yesterday he was putting them down. Prime Minister Trudeau stated that they are Fringe element types.

Some truckers have a 30 day supply of food and they will hang around with their big rigs.

GoFundMe has raised over $5 million dollars CAD and $1 million dollars CAD is being released to help truckers with fuel expenses.

They are protesting the vaccine mandate which prevents them from going to the US and back to Canada and there are even truckers who are vaccinated who are there in support.

The protest officially begins on Saturday January 29th.

Media hype says that they are worried about a January 6th insurrection but all the truckers have signed a code of conduct so it's just the Canadian government trying to scare the people.

The premiere in Canadian terms is the governor. The governor of Alberta is meeting with the governor's at the u.s. governor's conference to try to convince them to support getting rid of this vaccine mandate. I heard this on Canadian radio on the way home. I doubt it will make a difference but the pressure is on even if Trudeau and maybe even President Biden calls it a Fringe element.
