Elon Musk Tells 71 Million Twitter Followers To 'Vote Them Out',
Stands With Canadian 'Freedom Convoy' Truckers

In a significant turn of events, that we are sure will be pilloried by
Trudeau as being some mix of racist, mysognist, dangerous, or
'damaging democracy', Elon Musk - having earlier tweeted his support
of the Canadian truckers protesting vaccine mandates...

...just turned up the social media amplifier to '11', teling his 71.1
million twitter followers that: "If you scare people enough, they will
demand removal of freedom. This is the path to tyranny," and added
that the way to fight back is to "vote them out."

How long before Musk - the richest man in the world - is deplatformed

A massive convoy of Canadian truckers is nearing the capital of Ottawa
to protest the cross-border COVID-19 vaccine mandates severely
affecting the trucking industry.

Top government officials, big technology companies, and mainstream
media are downplaying the protest, dubbed the "Freedom Convoy" that
began in Vancouver on Sunday and is expected to reach Ottawa, Canada's
capital, on Saturday.

Prime Minister Justin Trudeau called the protest and its supporters a
"small fringe minority" with "unacceptable views."

    "The small fringe minority of people who are on their way to
Ottawa are holding unacceptable views that they're expressing, do not
represent the views of Canadians who have been there for each other
who know that following the science and stepping up to protect each
other is the best way to continue to ensure our freedoms, rights, and
values as a country," Trudeau told reporters Wednesday.

The president has called anyone unvaccinated racist and misogynistic
extremists.

Meanwhile, big tech companies are taking aim at the movement to limit
their mobility ahead of reaching Ottawa.

GoFundMe froze an account linked to the group that organized the
protest. The GoFundMe page raised CAD 6 million as of Thursday morning
from 76,000 people. "We are asking for donations to help with the
costs of fuel first, and hopefully food and lodgings to help ease the
pressures of this arduous task," the GoFundMe page says.

But GoFundMe spokeswoman Rachel Hollis sparked significant backlash
after the tech company froze distributions of the fund after
requesting organizers to show documentation "about how funds will be
properly distributed."

It makes sense why Trudeau, big tech, and corporate media are
downplaying and limiting the group's mobility - that is because the
movement is massive, anywhere between 10,000 and 50,000 Canadian
truckers. The convoy could easily shut down Ottawa this weekend.

    I have never seen such an enormous convoy before. I didn't even
know such amounts of freedom loving Canadians existed. This is more
than a protest. Watch our full video tomorrow @RebelNewsOnline

Truckers are furious after a vaccine mandate that began on Jan. 15
required unvaccinated truckers crossing back into Canada to be tested
and quarantined for a week. The US enacted a similar policy on Jan.
22. These two mandates instantly took 20% of the 160,000 cross-border
American and Canadian truckers off the road due to noncompliance in
both countries.

Joe Rogan sums it up, Canada "is in revolt."
