Canadian anti-vaccine truckers inspire copycat protests in several countries

Canadian flags are being flown during demonstrations against Covid vaccines in cities around the world.

A PROTEST MOVEMENT by Canadian truckers angered over Covid vaccine rules has become a rallying point for opponents of pandemic restrictions, firing up crowds from New York to New Zealand.

In New York, dozens of municipal workers facing dismissal unless they get shots marched across the Brooklyn Bridge to City Hall on Monday carrying giant US and Canadian flags.

“Unvaccinated Lives Matter” and “Workers Are Essential, Mandates Are Not,” read signs carried by the crowd, which included firefighters and teachers.

In New Zealand, inspired by the Canadian “Freedom Convoy,” trucks and campervans blocked streets near parliament in Wellington yesterday to protest against Covid restrictions and vaccinations.

Hundreds of vehicles plastered with messages such as “Give Us Back Our Freedom” parked in streets surrounding the parliament building.

Others drove around the city centre with horns blaring as over 1,000 protesters on foot listened to speeches.

“I’m actually vaccinated but I’m against mandating people to be vaccinated,” said Stu Main, of Wellington. “I think it’s disgraceful, forcing vaccination on people who don’t want it.”

Several Wellington protesters carried Canadian flags, including an expatriate named Billy, who declined to give his surname.

“I’m just supporting the brothers in Canada, fighting for freedom over there,” he said.

The Canadian protests have often tapped into right-wing politics, with Donald Trump flags at rallies and huge interest on conservative online sites.

- Calls for rallies in France -

In France, calls were circulating on Facebook for protestors to descend on Paris for anti-mandate demonstrations this weekend.

Similar appeals were launched in Belgium.

Some of the most vociferous support for the Canadian demonstrators has come from Republican officials in the United States, where Covid mask and vaccination mandates have become a highly partisan issue.

“The Freedom Convoy is peacefully protesting the harsh policies of far left lunatic Justin Trudeau who has destroyed Canada with insane Covid mandates,” former president Trump said.

“Now, thankfully, the Freedom Convoy could be coming to DC with American Truckers who want to protest (President Joe) Biden’s ridiculous Covid policies,” he said in a statement.

There has been no protest in Washington so far, but more than 100 truck drivers in Alaska drove from Anchorage to Eagle River on Sunday to support the Canadian demonstrators, the Anchorage Daily News reported.

Alaska Senator Dan Sullivan, a Republican, addressed a rally in Eagle River, ADN said, telling the crowd he did not believe the federal government “has the power to look at American citizens and say ‘either you get vaccinated or you get fired from your job.’”

According to the US Centers for Disease Control, fully vaccinated people are significantly less likely to die of the disease than non-vaccinated people.

Several Republican officials in US states have called meanwhile for investigations into GoFundMe after the fundraising site stopped taking donations for the “Freedom Convoy” protest.

GoFundMe removed the “Freedom Convoy” donation page on Friday, claiming it violated the site’s terms of service that “prohibit user content that reflects or promotes behaviour in support of violence.”

GoFundMe said it would refund all of the donations.

After the GoFundMe cutoff, organizers launched a donation drive on GiveSendGo, which describes itself as the “leader in Christian fundraising.” More than $7.2 million has been raised on GiveSendGo by today. 

- Spreading protests -

The “Freedom Convoy” demonstrations began 9 January in western Canada as protests by truckers angry with vaccine requirements when crossing the US-Canadian border.

They have since morphed into broader protests against Covid restrictions and Prime Minister Justin Trudeau’s government.

Trudeau demanded an end on Monday to the protest that has paralyzed Ottawa, saying “It has to stop.”

“This pandemic has sucked for all Canadians,” he said. “But Canadians know the way to get through it is continuing to listen to science, continuing to lean on each other.”

The truckers showed no sign of backing down yesterday, as several of the nation’s provinces announced it was time to roll back restrictions that count among the world’s toughest.

With authorities struggling to bring the protest movement to heel, Saskatchewan in the country’s west it was ready to lift all pandemic restrictions, with Quebec and Alberta also signaling plans to ease measures.

Today in New Zealand, protesters camped inside the Wellington legislature’s grounds vowed to stay “as long as it takes”.

Many of the vehicles that jammed central Wellington’s streets yesterday have left, but a hardcore of several hundred protesters pitched tents and refused to leave.

Three were arrested after trying to breach the police line as supporters chanted “let them through” but officials said the event remained largely peaceful.

    “ALERT – WikiLeaks Reveals Hillary Sold Weapons to ISIS, But It Gets Even WORSE
    Hillary Clinton’s world just got a lot worse as several damning facts have just come to light that once again prove how unfit she is to become President, quite contrary to Obama’s saying she would be the most prepared President ever.
    Emails about to be leaked by Wikileaks apparently prove that she not only sold weapons to ISIS, but that she blatantly perjured herself while testifying about Benghazi.”

    @Dave: You may well be right. The Democrats will be happy with Merrick, he is a normal well adjusted person who can be relied upon to think about an issue rather than refer to a holy book of some sort. At the same time he is a reasonably solid conservative on several issues important to the Republicans. That said, it would be a long walk back for Mitch McConnell and the Party as a whole, if they do it you can safely assume they have entirely given up the election, I agree completely with you there.

    @Jedi: Hillary is a poor candidate, too much politician for most tastes but Trump is a potential lunatic. That’s not even the same sport, much less the same league man.

    @fanny, just out of interest the discretion that the president has for launching a nuclear strike on a whim has been removed since SIOP has been abolished at the end of the cold war. Now, they have an OPLAN, which would need the military to put into play a series of operations and checks and balances, before conditions for a nuclear strike would be initiated. There is a plan in place for north Korea being a target, but the conditions are well defined, and not just the president’s decision, even if he has the ultimate veto.

    Whatever trump is, I am not so sure he is a mass murderer. I am not saying he does not have the potential to become one, I mean Obama has unquantifiable amounts of innocent blood on his hands thanks to his drone war of terror, so maybe it’s just part of being a US president.

    What objective evidence is there that the majority of America support trump. I was in the states on business a few months ago and at most 1 in 3 that I talked to about politics would even consider voting for trump. More than half said they would vote Clinton and the rest undecided. Hillary is not exactly idolised in the USA.

    Just because you desperately want something to be true doesn’t make it so. Discussion forums can easily become echo chambers and we can see that all the time. Compare comment sections in online forums and compare them to something objective like voting patterns and you see that is the case. Clinton is not much liked in the USA, and as I said before if the republicans had a halfway reasonable candidate they would wipe the floor with her (there are about 12 of the initial republican candidates I would have voted for in front of Hillary). But the republicans candidate is not even half reasonable. He is a halfwit. And so Hillary is gifted the presidency she should not have gotten close to. Point to any measurable, objective indication that trump is more popular. Every opinion pole has Hillary in front. ….

    Napier: The millions paid to Iran was not a ransom, it was money they were owed from a deal with the Americans prior to the revolution. Iran paid millions for a delivery of weapons but following the overthrow of the Shah the US refused to pay it. Iranians took the US to court at the Hague and knowing that they had no case, the US agreed to a settlement.

    There’s a lot to abhor about Obama’s policies but with regard to Iran he’s much better than the Republicans and possibly Clinton who have been eager to overthrow the regime. The reason they have been unable to is because Iran have a strong enough military deterrent unlike Iraq but that hasn’t stopped them from the bellicose language towards Iran. Obama has been much more diplomatic and that’s to his credit.

    Can anyone please explain why Trump supporters are so feckin think? It doesn’t matter what lies he tells, who he insults, how unqualified, at each ridiculous incident his supporters become more and more entrenched. H wasn’t lying when he said he could walk down 5th Avenue and shoot someone and his imbecile supports would find a way to make it ok.
    Listening to the radio interviews of Trump supporters at the RNC was gas altogether, they ALL went something like this,
    interviewer “so why do u support trump?”
    dt supporter “because he’s great”
    interviewer “whats great about him?”
    dt supporter “he will make ‘murica great again, he will make us safe”
    interviewer ” please explain when ‘murica was great, how dt will make it so again and how will he make u safe?”
    dt supporter “he just will, he’s great!”

    All of them the same, all of them as absurdly vague as the man himself, crazy.

    $400,000,000 was given to the Iranians. Same time American hostages freed. Obama says: “nothing to see here”. Go figure who the real spoofer is.

    Trump really is full of BS and knows nothing of the real world. To think these two candidates (himself and clinton ) are the best America has to offer its electret…… scraping the barrel in fairness.

    MSM pro hillary agenda is SCARY:

    $400 million ransom given to the worlds leading state sponsor of terrorism, but what gets more coverage is not the act itself, but whether Trump claims he saw a video of it were correct??

    Soldier killed in Iraq, but what gets more coverage is Trump comments to his parents, not the fact that hillary supported the war that sent him to his death in the first place??

    Subversion of democracy against Sanders within the DNC, but what makes the news is Trump joke about asking Russia to hack them and the faux outrage this generated??

    Nuclear disarmament under Obama and hillary at its slowest pace under any regime, nato troops piling on russia borders, destabilsation of the middle east via regime change, yet the story is trump cant be trusted with the nuclear codes??

    Disappearance of the middle classes in america fueled by clinton trade deals, corporations to be able to sue governments under the TTIP, debt under obama grew by more than all previous presidents, yet the media focus is on Trump university??

    Personally I find this all very VERY disturbing.

    So the video wasn’t of the plane carrying the cash but they still did give the money to Iran? So the important point is true but you are condemning him because he was mistaken over a video clip? How about concentrating on the face Obama is giving billions to Iran?

    Stef, the money was never in dispute. Trump just invented a story to make himself seem relevant to the story. Either that or he’s suffering from senility. Unless the money was shaped like hostages.

    The real story is the sophisticated politically game play in which Trump was encouraged to go up as Presidential candidate so as to defeat the more viable Republican candidates, thus clearing the way to shoe in Clinton as President.

    Trump was just a patsy who is an intentionally lame duck candidate.

    I’m still amused that there are actually people in the US and in Ireland who perceive Trump as a serious candidate for the US Presidency. Of course, Trump is not a serious candidate.

    John McCain or even Mitt Romney would probably beat Hillary such is her level of unpopularity. Trump however has shown consistantely over the past 2 weeks that he’s no diplomatic skills whatsoever to become President. It seems like the majority of the undecided vote are coming to this conclusion themselves.
