Summary
A year ago on this day, a group of truckers set out on a journey from Kingston, Ontario to Toronto, Ontario in protest of a proposed mandatory vaccination mandate that would mandate all truckers travelling across the country to get vaccinated. Today, a year later, the mandate has been dropped, but not without a fight.

00:00:38.040
and they said oh there's some nazi flags and confederate flags we've been looking for them
00:00:42.640
i love looking at all these terrorists that trudeau is scared of are you a racist sir
00:00:51.680
we are here okay coast to coast and i will show you
00:01:22.880
there's some real terrorists out there man and one of them sits in this building
00:01:26.920
we're fighting for the children who don't understand what it's like to live a life without a mask
00:01:43.240
i got him out of parliament i just want to get my dog chow
00:01:56.920
i counted january 29th as the first day of the convoy
00:02:02.060
anyway in the future when i'm counting the days of the convoy
00:02:09.660
i'm going to go over some of what the mainstream media was saying a year ago that day
00:02:19.300
more than one in four canadians support jail time for the unvaccinated
00:02:23.660
unvaccinated quebecers will have to pay a health tax
00:02:26.980
and of course here's the infamous toronto star front page
00:02:35.180
this is on the front page of a major newspaper in canada
00:02:45.560
and of course there's this clip from our own prime minister
00:02:48.200
and did the news media care to talk to people who felt like they were being dehumanized
00:03:02.700
another expressed his opposition to vaccines with the yellow star of david
00:03:06.240
similar to those the nazis forced jews to wear during the holocaust
00:03:10.080
they didn't even let the man speak and he probably would have mentioned a lot of what i just said
00:03:18.680
about how he feels like he's being dehumanized by newspapers like the toronto star
00:03:22.940
and for the people out there who might say greg they were going to get rid of the mandates anyway
00:03:30.420
there have been uh conversations uh discussion about an inter-provincial uh mandate
00:03:36.460
that that truckers that were going even inside the country from province to province
00:03:43.560
minister regan announced it uh just last december
00:03:52.180
so not only was the liberal government not planning on getting rid of mandates
00:03:55.900
they wanted to add mandates for inter-provincial travel
00:04:00.320
so if you're a canadian that's happy that some of these restrictions and mandates have gone away
00:04:10.100
you will see that the convoy was correct with some of their assertions
00:04:14.540
Ontario's chief medical officer of health links viral surge to negative consequences of extended mask mandates
00:04:22.160
more than a thousand new brunswickers report adverse reactions to covid 19 vaccines
00:04:27.920
people supporting the trucker convoy were right
00:04:30.160
or at the very least had a strong point to make that even cbc is agreeing with now
00:04:34.400
and again just to emphasize the context of how this protest came to be
00:04:38.480
look at how these issues were being discussed on the nightly news
00:04:42.000
obviously room for a debate uh about whether you support a mandate or not
00:04:46.240
uh our government our party has been clear to canadians that we think
00:04:50.320
and we believe based on the science by the way the science is very clear it's not
00:04:56.480
we're going to listen to you there there's room for debate there also is no debate allowed and these
00:05:00.480
people should just shut up and as more information comes out and it looks like
00:05:06.080
well what do you do when you're in a losing argument you smear the other side
00:05:10.160
as protesters destecrate terry fox and dance on the tomb of the unknown soldier
00:05:16.320
signs of bigotry in the backlash over vaccine mandates there's so many more mainstream media
00:05:21.760
lies to get through but this intro is getting a little long let's talk to the actual people
00:05:25.360
at the trucker convoy on january 29th hey dan can i get you over here for a sec what's up man i i
00:05:31.120
heard uh that you're a veteran yes that's awesome because you did tours in afghanistan is that right
00:05:35.600
yes i did uh afghanistan in 2009 with uh uh buck artsy i was in artillery i got uh injured in
00:05:41.840
afghanistan so i got out thanks for your service i know i mean it feels cheap to say that like
00:05:46.560
thanks for your service you know what man honestly it's it's one of those things where like i don't
00:05:50.160
even know what to say when people say thank you i didn't really do anything man you know i just did
00:05:54.720
what i was told to do right you know we all seen and did some things over there that uh you know
00:06:00.640
someone like this would tell us to do and then turn around and tell me that i can't sit in the
00:06:04.640
restaurant and eat you know the way that veterans get treated is absolutely despicable
00:06:14.720
i thought it very poetic just as this veteran says this overhead is a helicopter that says trudeau
00:06:21.920
on the bottom and you'll see other protesters i talked to later have this horn honking machine
00:06:26.160
that they made very creative no that makes sense what what do you really need from trudeau
00:06:32.960
from trudeau get out i need him to to quit to resign uh trudeau had no right in and even even
00:06:42.080
running for politics his resume sucks we need that asshole to sign like stand down and resign that's the
00:06:47.920
best thing that could happen to this country a coward cannot run this country i think we don't
00:06:51.680
need him yeah we need a change any globalist politician need to step down right now i don't
00:06:58.400
know where we're gonna find honest people to run this country but we're gonna have to do it because
00:07:03.680
a lot of them here aren't honest i just want election reform and i want the people to have more
00:07:07.760
of a say and equal divide between all the provinces so that you get the real canadian voice what do you
00:07:14.480
really need from trudeau we want the mandates gone this isn't the thing about anti-vax this is not an
00:07:19.840
anti-vax movement this is anti-mandates people are tired of this stuff we're finished with it
00:07:24.320
it's been two years of hell people want their lives back and their businesses back we should have a
00:07:28.800
choice that's all we need so i'm a u.s driver right now i'm doing corridor but i like doing the states
00:07:34.880
and i'm not getting jabbed and uh i'm not the only one get rid of the restrictions and get rid of a
00:07:41.680
whole barcode passport it's a slippery slope when they say that they're going to do these things
00:07:47.360
and they start taking our liberties away they will not give them back they max them out and then
00:07:52.720
you're going to have to fight to get our rights back so now is the time to take the stamp i need
00:07:57.840
trudeau to actually grow a pair of balls and come out and grab and address this minority that he says
00:08:05.680
is out here of the unvaccinated as you can see we are thousands of people on this hill 90 of them may
00:08:12.480
be vaccinated but they just want our country back our freedoms back and our choices back and what are
00:08:19.120
you willing to give up for that or what have you given up already well i'm done wearing masks i am
00:08:24.400
done wearing masks i am fully vaccinated i got i got i i was uh one of the ones at the first i thought
00:08:35.760
well i'll get my freedoms but i will get vaccinated so i went and got my shot and it still didn't give
00:08:43.120
me my freedom what did you give up to be here today and what are you willing to give up to end
00:08:48.240
mandates oh i don't know what do you mean give up never what are you willing to give up i didn't
00:08:56.320
give up much i don't live that far from here i just my time and some wages obviously to be here and
00:09:01.040
support other drivers that are losing their jobs and the nurses that are losing their jobs from a
00:09:05.120
government that doesn't respect the industry or the service industry to be able to actually keep
00:09:09.920
this country running what did you give up to be here today you know what we didn't give up much
00:09:14.800
you should really go talk to some of those western guys that gave up weeks and thousands of dollars
00:09:18.640
in fuel i'm giving up a lot of work because i got a lot of work at home right now but i've got a lot of
00:09:22.400
friends right now that lose their jobs because of crossing the border all the time so eventually
00:09:26.560
something somebody's going to take a stand i put a post on social media and it went viral
00:09:31.040
and this is where it started either pony up i guess or shut up well i gave up my job for a
00:09:35.920
couple weeks uh my kids still at home haul the cows i'll cows for a living and he's he's he's working
00:09:42.240
away but i gave up two weeks of wages and time with my wife and my kids and my grandkids and all my
00:09:49.760
friends and ice fishing i love ice fishing and my buddies are probably out there catching them right
00:09:54.240
now and i'm sitting in my truck but whatever this is it's worth it it's well worth it i don't i don't know
00:09:59.280
if you know mark friesen but one time he gave a speech to try to like wake people up about all
00:10:03.840
that's going on and he's like i should be in a canoe right now yeah same thing i should be out my
00:10:08.960
old piece of crap camper on the lake with a hole in the floor looking at the woodburn and soul
00:10:14.080
catching fish and eating pike absolutely but i'm not i'm here and and what can canadians do to better
00:10:21.200
support you they don't oppose us we are also a woman being we need our space too and that's all we need
00:10:29.520
and basically all canadians are with us it's just media propaganda they are saying no there's only
00:10:36.240
you can see these are not only truckers i love watching this interview because i had no idea
00:10:42.240
what this man was saying it was so loud outside of his truck i'm hanging off there all the honking's
00:10:48.160
going on it's the first saturday of the convoy i'm just screaming out my questions reaching the
00:10:52.240
microphone in hoping you know hopefully he has something cool to say and sure enough when i was
00:10:55.920
editing it i'm like all right no that was my first professional
00:11:03.840
years what do you think people could do to support truckers better i think just be aware
00:11:08.560
i remember when i first started the the medical was like 50 every time to renew your driver's license
00:11:14.880
and after like five years i think it was up to 250 within the 10 years the amount of responsibility
00:11:19.680
that was dumped onto the trucker that's responsible for the truck all the uh the licensing making sure
00:11:25.040
everything's up to par mechanically making sure it's good doing doing inspection and if anything
00:11:28.880
goes wrong comes back on the trucker and then they try and get you financially for this people don't
00:11:32.640
realize that how much responsibility your trucker has you know there's a lot of truckers working for
00:11:36.320
fifteen dollars an hour for an agency driving a truck that much responsibility do you know a lot of
00:11:40.640
truckers and where are the unions right now i mean the union is still run by a president or ceo and i
00:11:45.360
think as long as you uh you line his pockets i think that they fall in line that's that's why
00:11:49.040
your unions are aren't sticking up for them but i can't speak for all unions but it seems like uh
00:11:53.280
it seems like there's not a whole lot of the big guys that's looking after the little guy here you
00:11:56.480
know so it's nice these are a whole bunch of little people that are here this is the uh small minority
00:12:00.720
i guess it was supposed to show up truedo fringe just just a tiny fringe of uh deplorables that showed
00:12:05.440
up so yeah i think we're all in the same boat there that we want this to stop i think we're tired of
00:12:09.360
putting our max on done with the mandates let's get things back to normal it must be cool for the both of you to
00:12:14.800
like meet one another and different truckers from across the country and you have like a camaraderie
00:12:20.320
is there anything you both laugh at that trucking industry is really heavily divided
00:12:25.760
we've got a really diverse group of people that are constantly speaking at each other and fighting
00:12:31.760
and not getting along he's like for us for us to do this this amount of numbers and get together as
00:12:37.680
a company and a group is absolutely amazing really there's a lot of division usually why why is that
00:12:42.960
you just get the you get the different drivers and the different the different stuff they haul
00:12:47.760
the different companies the rates the the rates are the big one you get the guys out there it's
00:12:53.360
it's a diverse group right so so who is like the most respected trucker like the loggers or what
00:12:59.440
well i haul equipment for a living like big agriculture so i have to say it's us
00:13:05.360
who do you think is the biggest mother trucker out there i don't know i'm always going to be a fan of
00:13:10.160
the old school guys that know their equipment know what they're doing respect the laws and rules of
00:13:15.040
the road yeah and are doing it for the right reasons not just about the dollar every day you
00:13:19.120
know what i mean so there's trucker politics we don't even know about so this is a miracle that
00:13:23.520
truckers are even getting together at all we brought everybody together in some sort of way didn't we
00:13:28.320
you know truckers have a hard job and they never really complain about anything so it must be a big
00:13:32.960
deal if you guys are coming to parliament to be like okay enough is enough right for two years now we've
00:13:38.000
had our grandparents stuck in homes we've had our children in school with masks they've been sent
00:13:43.040
home for my son lost his job because he refuses to get vaccinated yeah chris it's just two more weeks
00:13:50.000
they had to flatten the curb right yeah we're we're done we're done with this
00:13:56.320
stop the past we don't need it we just need to have a real life like before so you have a a car horn hooked
00:14:04.000
up to a battery is that right he's the engineer right here he designed all this in his garage back
00:14:09.760
home in quebec but you need a special driver license for that yeah yeah yeah absolutely cannot drive that
00:14:15.440
everywhere what what crap yard build and um why it's more fuel efficient than a truck and it make noise
00:14:28.320
same effect as a truck it's all for our freedom stop the mandate what do you think canadians should
00:14:34.160
do to support support us cut the cable stop listening to the mainstream media stop living in fear i don't
00:14:42.480
think this virus is as bad as they say we probably all caught it from now yeah and just live your life
00:14:50.000
go back to freedom like it was before yeah let's turn the page i mean you guys already made this amazing
00:14:56.000
contraption what else are you willing to do or what else are you willing to give up
00:14:59.840
to stop the mandates and we want to that trudeau see us now yeah he said he didn't see the trucker but
00:15:07.440
we're here now you see us trudeau we made this we made this this horn thing for you trudeau
00:15:15.760
and it's working so where can we order these on amazon this is working but does the vaccine works
00:15:22.240
because i got i got tell that some people have three doses of vaccine and they still have the
00:15:34.960
trudeau got his booster a few weeks ago and now he's sick and he's so he's so sick that he can't
00:15:41.040
even like make a statement about what happened like you're not selling this booster very well my friend
00:15:45.200
do you think that is the prime minister he's going to hide in this crisis right now that's not the
00:15:51.440
prime minister so true so true did you see the chopper with trudeau written on it yeah so that's what's
00:15:57.920
going on trudeau you've done such a bad job that somebody did a paint job on the bottom of a helicopter
00:16:06.560
that says you how big can you go after that the chopper such a bad job that they made this
00:16:14.160
dolly horn thing because they've lost their minds basically and i'm right there with you
00:16:20.320
