"I wish the Canadian truckers were half as tough as their women."

Smite!

The Canadian women’s hockey team thrashed Russia 6-1, while wearing masks the entire game.

I wish the Canadian truckers were half as tough as their women.

are not involved in the convoy - a lot more.

The hubris and ignorance of these few characters is quite astonishing. They seem to think they have the right to dictate government policy and as well disrupt many people's lives and the country's economy.

that the thugs carrying those Drumph and US and Confederate flags who are being funded by jealous South of 49 fools are actually Canuks?


It's a Yank Invasion I tell ya.

It's taken this long to try to get revenge for losing the war of 1812.

Flag idolatry is a US meme - so the people with the "Made In China Maple Leaf flags" on their trucks are obviously flying under a false flag.

They re probably USAnarchists or Qbits

are getting POed over seeing their trucks on that "traitor convoy" or some-such web site. It seems their drivers & trucks are there without company knowledge or approval.

They have Canadian trucking company names and addresses on their rigs.

A friend of mine lives just outside Ottawa. Said she’s never seen so many Canadian flags.

There’s another thread right now with the names of companies participating in the protest. So far all I’ve seen are Canadian companies.

in the transportation - oil - gas - pipeline - etc etc - actually have their head offices in the USA. This is a direct result of NAFTA/CAMUS which gutted Canadian control of its economy and subjected them to .ruthless fines for failure to allow US takeover of Canadian assets.

As for loving flags, I’m guessing you’ve never been to a European soccer match.

Check out a Novak Djokovic match sometime, or an Andy Murray match.

listen to US propaganda while driving.

As for Soccer Thugs their flags are like the Bloods and Crypts identification and have nothing to do with nationality.
