Just because someone is vaccinated doesn’t mean they agree with the mandates

Wow, this was a grave misrepresentation of what is currently happening... Most of the video was taken from Ottawa and NOT from where the border is blocked in Alberta (almost opposite sides of the country). As well, there are vaccine mandates for American truck drivers crossing the border as well. Finally, there is already a movement in place of truck drivers wanting to travel from California to DC in support, set for some time in March... And now I realize why so many people are upset with news stations... They no longer have the heartbeat of what is going on in this world... Nice try though...

I don’t think these reporters understand you can be vaccinated and support a vaccine without supporting a mandate. It’s about freedom of choice.

When this all ends, the media will be like "we were against the mandates the whole time"😂

I'm old enough to remember when the truckers were being praised during the pandemic for keeping our lives going.

The people do not exist to serve the government-- the government exists to serve the people

These reporters have no idea whatsoever what "freedom" is or why people care... it's amazing how ignorant people have actually become!

Absolutely a misrepresentation of what is really going on. They couldn’t hide their bias

The media’s credibility has never been lower.

Its amazing how little these rules apply to the people who created them or their friends.

As an American, I stand with the Canadian Truckers!!! This is absolutely awesome

[Banguelas]

Funny how the hosts can’t hide their disdain for the movement

[ripk]

I love the confused look on the news team’s faces. “Why won’t the truckers just do as their told?” Bottom line: Government is supposed to work for the people not to enact mandates to do this that and the other all the time. This is what happens when government infringes on people’s freedom.

Great to see people standing together for their rights!

It's time for all mandates to end. At least the Canadians are brave enough to change the discussion.

[wowthatsgreat]

Your voice maybe. Most of us stand w the truckers. The chaos diddnt start w the freedom convoy it started w BS mandates

[studlymuffenlife]

Couldn’t respect our Canadian brethren more! 🇨🇦

I’m American and I’m vaccinated, but I refuse to show “my papers” to get a sandwich! I had a choice to get vaccinated, and others should be able to choose if they want it or not! I’m in FULL SUPPORT of these truckers! It’s about time everyone starts fighting for their choice!
