While in a normal world this would be beyond satire and ridicule, it
is perhaps of no surprise whatsoever that the blame for instigation of
the "Freedom Convoy" is already being placed on so-called 'Russian
actors'...

"...given Canada's support of Ukraine... I don't know it it's
far-fetched to ask but there is concern that Russian actors could be
continuing to fuel things as this protest grows... perhaps even
instigating it..."

    A lot of strange coverage by the media on this thing but this one
wins the prize.pic.twitter.com/bLauTjI9NG

As Brian Lilley writes at The Toronto Sun, "the media in this country
is not acting as a neutral observer and conduit for news on this
matter, most have decided the trucker convoy is the enemy and are
treating it as such. Watch any of the news networks or, more
importantly, read the Twitter accounts of supposedly objective
journalists, or listen to the contempt in their voices as they ask
questions to see that they have clearly taken sides."

    "Apparently, the journalists on Parliament Hill these days think
their job is to hold the opposition and not the government to account.
It also appears their job to support some protest movements and attack
others based on the personal preferences of the journalists."

The propaganda seems to have reached some, but not others...

In other news, while Trudeau hides in isolation, the Premier of
Saskatchewan, a Canadian province that borders the US, calls for an
end of the cross-border ban on unvaccinated truckers.

    Today, trucker rallies are being held at many locations across the
country, including on Parliament Hill in Ottawa and in various
communities in Saskatchewan.

    Here is my message to Saskatchewan and Canadian truckers:

The world's largest truck convoy rolled into Canada's capital, Ottawa,
late Friday night and continues today to stage a protest against Prime
Minister Justin Trudeau's cross-border vaccine mandates (or as some
call it: medical tyranny).

The so-called "Freedom Convoy" - coming from all corners of Canada and
even the US, has been traveling all week and is leading the charge in
a massive demonstration against government overreach. Truckers from
around the world are uniting and staging protests of their own.

As Enrico Trigoso reports at The Epoch Times, Brian Von D, the
administrator at “Convoy to DC 2022” announced that they will “join
forces” to ride from California to Washington, adding that “America is
next.”

    “As [the Canadian convoy] moved from the west to the east, [the
American truckers] have been filtering into this convoy, and it is
absolutely massive. It is known worldwide, it is the largest thus
far,” he said in a live video on Facebook.

He added that dates and planned routes would be released soon on a
website and various social media platforms, and a GoFundMe page would
only be released on their CONVOY TO DC 2022 Facebook page.

    “We’re done with the mandates, were done with the government
telling us what to do, we will continue and we will follow just like
the rest of the world on these trucker protests, and they will be 100
percent legal, they will abide by the law.”

The Parliamentary Protective Service expects as many as 10,000
protesters this weekend in Ottawa, but that figure could be
significantly higher. A day ago, we noted 50,000 trucks in a 70km
(43.5 miles) long convoy are headed to the capital.

According to the Guinness Book of World Records, the Freedom Convoy is
"the largest parade of trucks" ever in the world.

    "It’s 70 km (43.5 miles) long,” says Freedom Convoy 2022
spokesperson Benjamin Dichter to the Toronto Sun.

    “I have seen footage from an airplane. It’s impressive."

The trucker convoy has been arriving in the capital for the past 12
hours. Additional waves of the convoy will arrive later this
afternoon.

Prime Minister of Canada Justin Trudeau called the convoy a "small
fringe minority" of those who "do not represent the views of
Canadians." Judging by the pictures and videos so far, Trudeau is a
liar, and a revolt is underway in the country. Corporate media and
government have spent the better part of the week downplaying the
convoy ( because they are scared).

On Friday, Trudeau told the Canadian Press that he was worried about
the protest turning violent. Organizers of the event have told
truckers and anyone else participating in the demonstration to remain
peaceful.

    just one of the many faces of the small fringe majority :)

CBC said Trudeau and his family left downtown Ottawa on Saturday
morning (due to close contact with someone infected with COVID -
although he tested negative and triple-jabbed) as the trucker convoy
descended on the area. The local news said he left town due to
security concerns.

    OTTAWA - A “few” truckers with “unacceptable opinions” now lead
the world in the fight to end discrimination and division.

The convoy is expected to bring parts of the metro area to a
standstill and block roads in front of parliament until lawmakers
repeal a vaccine mandate for truckers hauling freight across the
border.

Despite Trudeau calling the protest "small," Ottawa police chief Peter
Sloly said they planned a "massive" demonstration on Friday.
