They called tow-trucks to tow the semi's and they joined the convoy! 🤘🤣

I'm sure if an emergency vehicle came through that one truck would move within 5 seconds. The truckers are not blocking emergency vehicles.

It's the border, where is the ambulance going exactly?

[mikebedard]

It should only take 2 weeks to flatten this curve.

This is how we stand up and make changes. As an American from Texas my prayers and praise go out to these truckers

[lisamitchell]

Sometimes it has to get uncomfortable for change to happen. Don’t blame the truckers, blame the politicians!

Also wasn’t a big deal to have the border closed for a full year when the government was playing the Covid game but all of a sudden it’s absolutely essential that it remains open. Hmmm

[kendoi]

Wow, hope they paid you enough to sell your soul.

You've been lieing for 2 years and you wonder why Canadians don't trust you?😂😂😂

By your OWN admission THIS blockade started 45 minutes ago. In other words the initial blockade DIDN'T stop/block emergency vehicles. But the RCMP refused to allow truckers to get their meds? Do you really think this is fringe group?

[knickknackpattywack]

RCMP: Please move your truck eh...
Trucker: No I'm not going to
RCMP: Ok...well sorry for bothering you.
Trucker: No problem.

How many ambulances cross the border on a given year?

[TheRyan]

You've been blockading our lives for two years! What did you think was gonna happen?

[danielledanylulu]

all my support to you truckers and farmers. France is watching you

[craigwall]

...so they moved in a bunch of armed cops to prevent escalation...LOL

[paulreportingliv]

Why would an ambulance be crossing into the states?…

[SquashGuy]

If the RCMP do anything to these heros they will lose my support for life.

putting a clown TRUD EAU in a castle doesn't make him a King, it just makes the castle a circus

[thompsonheatherj]

The truckers also have a huge show of strength!
