Anti government huh? Do you understand the difference between antigovernment and opposing the policies of a government? When government no longer serves the people who put it in place it is the right of the people to resist and change the government. This is not antigovernment. That would be anarchy. It is the job of the government to protect the rights of the citizens that government serves. This protest is about people finally saying that it’s time the government served the people.

Not about vaccine, about mandates! A lot of the people protesting are vaccinated, just don't believe you should be forced to or lose your livelihood.

It’s been very eye opening seeing how skewed and bigoted the media coverage of this is.

[AwkwardTruths]

"What is the core movement of this movement" is asked to someone who isn't part of the movement. This is journalism today.

What’s the government worried about? It’s just a “small fringe minority”

[rogeredwards]

What they haven't reported is that a significant number of police officers and military have refused to comply...and that my friends is what scares the ruling class more than anything.

The government could end it all just by letting us live normal lives.

[katiesarl]

Well that wasn't a biased report at all!

[Joe-wkow]

Of course they had to throw in anti government movements. What's anti-government about demanding freedom and being treated fairly?

[dianes]

Funny how the media doesn't say how Trudeau refuses to talk to these peaceful protestors

[jedediahpelland]

You know what else has impacted businesses? Lockdowns and mandates, except a lot of those businesses were destroyed.

HOLD THE LINE truckers saving the world 👍

[traceybenna]

More people support this movement than the MSM would ever report .

[tomasrivera]

Just like a government not wanting to listen and talk to the people, alot of countries are taking the mask mandate away. So what is Canada's problem

[robertgoble]

God bless the truckers and protesters.

[steveczarniak]

Nice work truckers, at least someone is resisting authoritarian nonsense.

[kennysherratt]

If you were wondering what propaganda sounds like, that was it.

[VoodooCadillac]

*The most peaceful protestors ever!*
*Hold the line, truckers!*

[janetbennett]

I have never heard of them asking for Trudeau to resign or be ousted. That's definitely a new one from the media.

Canadian freedom truckdrivers are the voice of freedom for millions around the world, bravo Canadians!
