Justin Trudeau addresses the 'small, fringe minority' headed toward anti-mandate protest who 'hold unacceptable views'

In case you hadn’t heard, truckers have organized a huge convoy that’s making its way to Ottawa, Ontario to protest vaccine mandates. Here’s a piece from Laura Ingraham’s show detailing what’s going on and why:

“In Canada we have one of the biggest revolutions happening. Right now there’s 50,000 truckers and 1.4M people headed to the parliament in Ottawa. And they’re going to stay there until Trudeau resigns, or they give us back all of our freedoms and rights.” 🇨🇦 @TheoFleury14 pic.twitter.com/VybSq0PAT2

And here’s a statement from the truckers, making it clear they’re anti-mandate, not anti-vax:

From the truckers!!! The truth the whole truth and nothing but the truth. pic.twitter.com/fx9jmGlEAF

And here’s some drone footage as well as some footage of supporters lining the road:

Drone footage of the massive convoy of truckers passing through the town of Dryden, ON.

This footage does not do justice to the length of the convoy. I will try to capture better ones.#TruckersForFreedom2022

Small town of Dryden, Ontario is exceeding it’s limits!

The route of the nationwide convoy had people all along the way since BC.

The length of convoy is unbelievably long.

Listen to this guy… Dismisses anyone who disagrees with him as “extreme”. Not fringe, not extreme, and not a minority. And he dares talk about freedoms… @JustinTrudeau’s legacy is going to be a stain on Canada that will take years to rub clean. pic.twitter.com/pnfsADSTKK

That isn't how it works. You dont have to do anything to get rights.

Just curious: what are these “unacceptable views”?

— Andy Nelson (@acnelson93) January 26, 2022

A real leader would be there to address this “small fringe minority”. He won’t be anywhere close to Ottawa this weekend.

"They hold unacceptable views"
Frightening talk.

“Holding unacceptable views”. Has there ever been a worse phrase uttered by a Canadian PM?

He looks rattled…

I don’t know about you but he appears to be …. Stressed.

He sounds scared.

Is it me or he is currently squirming in fear like a little bitch??

The truck drivers have "been there" for Canadians for 2 years keeping the supply chains open. Now you kick them to the proverbial curb just like you did nurses and health care workers who you once praised as "heros." So out of touch with reality is he… 😮

— Darin Yanisiew 🇨🇦 (@wildwheelz) January 26, 2022

These are precisely Canadians who have been there for each other. They have hauled our food, groceries and even vaccines. They have kept us moving even when our governments told us we shouldn’t and couldn’t be mobile. This is not a fringe, this is the heartbeat of Canada

Well stated.

There’s always a tweet:

While many of us are working from home, there are others who aren’t able to do that – like the truck drivers who are working day and night to make sure our shelves are stocked. So when you can, please #ThankATrucker for everything they’re doing and help them however you can.

People are helping them, by donating millions to a GoFundMe account to help pay for gas and meals.
