To all those making jokes about World War 3: War is no joke. People die. Folks get hurt. Kids lose parents. Parents lose kids. Families are torn apart. Entire communities experience trauma. Trauma that lasts for a lifetime...Stop joking about war. There's nothing funny about it.
I wish we could stop calling these people truckers. They are not. Some may be but the majority of truckers (read almost all of them) have been out moving goods and keeping our shelves full. ##NotTruckers
@MeanwhileinCana Public now feels like hostages. Can’t give in to any #protesters
Many of the truckers are Americans packing guns. #Ottawa is hoping to avoid a gun battle. Police are damned if they do or don’t act!
Hey! Look! Did you see that massively huge convoy of health workers who has gone in to work each & every day to provide healthcare for vulnerable people amidst staffing shortages, snowstorms & a raging pandemic? Yeah...shoutout to that convoy. That convoy is the best. 🙌🏾
@YvonneYYZ I would like to suggest that we turn this protest upside down. For every actual trucker in Ottawa who is protesting in earnest, we figure out how to donate to health workers publicly. I wonder if go fund Me will send to regional hospitals under one umbrella.
Here’s a flavour of what some of us get from the convoy protesters. This was Thursday in Vaughan, north of Toronto. The man is shouting at me with our security officer in foreground. Expect more of this here in Ottawa Saturday.
EXTREME COARSE LANGUAGE WARNING.
#LATEST: Prime Minister Justin Trudeau says the "freedom convoy" is no longer a protest against the federal vaccine mandate for cross-border truckers but a forum for a small minority of "very angry" people opposed to all public health measures.
