Transcript
00:00:02.780
Tim, you have all of the like political red pills in this country on the side of your truck.
00:00:10.900
Everything's on there. It's not my trailer though. I'm just pulling it for a friend of mine.
00:00:14.220
What can Canadians do to better support truckers?
00:00:17.940
It's not all just about truckers. It's all of us. We're all in this together.
00:00:25.460
As a trucker, yeah, you need to be able to cross the border with all that, but it's our freedom.
00:00:32.240
And then when you come across from Alberta to here and you go through Saskatchewan and Manitoba and even into Ontario,
00:00:37.020
you see there's thousands of people standing on the side of the road in minus 30 degrees.
00:00:44.140
The money wasted that, as far as I'm concerned, the politicians on both sides.
00:00:52.200
We got to do something to fix that problem because it seems like they get in and then they forget.
00:00:56.560
Like, they work for us. We don't work for them.
0.81
00:00:59.720
And I don't know how you can convince people to... I don't know. We got to do something.
00:01:05.600
And just like on your truck, it's just one thing after another.
00:01:08.940
It just piles up and piles up and piles up and then this was the end of it. Thank you.
00:01:14.020
No, one's good. One's good. It just piles up until people are upset enough that it turns to this.
00:01:22.740
And then, you know, the local news, even our news at home, they're telling my friends,
00:01:27.960
yeah, there's a thousand trucks coming in, maybe 5,000 people.
00:01:30.740
Like, there's about 80 or 100,000 trucks coming and there could be a million people here by tonight or tomorrow, right?
00:01:40.780
But they're playing it down. Like, it's not happening.
00:01:43.360
Well, the one cop that told me I couldn't come up here, he said,
00:01:46.460
well, we weren't expecting this many trucks. How many more are coming?
00:01:49.720
I said, buddy, I'm the second truck in the convoy.
00:01:52.400
Hey, you better get things opened up because there's like 50,000 or 60,000 behind me coming.
00:01:58.800
You're the second of the world record-breaking convoy.
00:02:13.460
And I never thought I'd be parked looking at the parlor in the buildings with a big truck behind me.
00:02:18.580
And you're a Canadian trucker who's based out west, is that right?
00:02:24.440
And I think the biggest thing is, is there's a lot of guys that aren't vaxxed that go south.
00:02:29.040
And if they come back to Canada, they want you to unload and quarantine for 14 days.
00:02:47.320
I'm not living with a mask on my face and sticking shots in my arm every frickin' three months.
00:03:04.320
I need, I, there needs to be a whole shake-up in the whole, in everything.
00:03:09.200
Like, I don't know where we're going to find honest people to run this country, but we're
00:03:12.940
going to have to do it because a lot of them here aren't honest.
00:03:16.980
And I mean, even, even, like I said, our own frickin' conservative, conservatives out in
00:03:21.180
Alberta, they look to us and lie at us, right on the news to us.
00:03:25.440
Like, the other day they said, oh yeah, we kind of misreported.
00:03:29.000
Like, over 60% of the COVID cases were actually somebody came in with something else wrong
00:03:35.100
and we tested them and they tested positive, so we called it a COVID case.
00:03:40.100
Even though they weren't second and we sent them home with that broken finger, they got
00:03:46.400
I mean, I watched that on the news from our health minister and our premier, and I'm,
00:03:51.620
what am I supposed to believe that comes out of their mouth anymore?
00:03:59.000
He don't pull no punches, but who knows what he would do if he got in, right?
00:04:04.300
It seems like once this thing was getting super popular, all of a sudden, Aaron O'Toole
00:04:27.240
We've come, but they're going to be here maybe for a while, so we need to still.
00:04:32.220
We haven't paid $1 for any food or anything since I left home, and I've been turning stuff
00:04:37.620
down because people will come and say, take a lunch.
00:04:45.180
I mean, none of us in this whole convoy have spent $1 on fuel, on fuel.
00:04:50.960
Food or, well, fuel I have, but we might get it back or whatever.
00:04:55.040
But like I said, I got friends that give me money, and she just gave me $100.
00:04:58.140
Like, I'm to the point now almost that I'm going to put one tank in it, and if I can't
00:05:02.820
put $1,500 of fuel in my truck to come and protest what's going on in the government,
00:05:07.080
I might as well stay home and hide in my basement or something, I guess.
00:05:14.960
No, not yet, but I'm not even going to ask for any because, like I said, I've got enough
00:05:23.520
Any of the leftover money from the GoFundMe is going to the vets.
00:05:27.320
And I can almost guarantee you that when this is all said and done, we're going to give
00:05:31.180
more money to the vets than the government has in the last, I don't know how many years
00:05:35.060
because they don't take care of our vets, right?
0.97
00:05:37.240
And they don't take care of a lot of people in Canada.
00:05:39.420
We're too busy sending our money everywhere trying to get a seat on the UN or something.
00:05:43.560
I don't know what they're doing, but they just sent $125 million to Ukraine.
00:05:48.340
What do you think you could do with that in Ottawa with the homeless or in Calgary?
00:05:56.480
They've wasted money terribly and me and you were paying for it.
00:06:09.060
When it's minus 35 outside, you need something warm on your feet.
00:06:12.000
And I don't like wearing shoes because I don't wear shoes in my truck.
00:06:31.020
I hauled cows for a living and he's working away.
00:06:34.160
But I gave up two weeks of wages and time with my wife and my kids and my grandkids and all my friends and ice fishing.
00:06:43.620
My buddies are probably out there catching them right now and I'm sitting in my truck.
00:06:50.120
I don't know if you know Mark Friesen, but one time he gave a speech to try to wake people up about all that's going on.
00:06:55.960
And he's like, I should be in a canoe right now.
00:06:59.280
I should be out in my old piece of crap camper on the lake with a hole in the floor looking at the woodburn and soul catching fish and eating pike.
00:07:09.200
And what does the next, if they don't reverse the mandates, what do you think it's going to look like?
00:07:25.240
I told my wife I'd be home probably by the 20th.
00:07:28.040
Now, the cop that brought me up here told me he was going to give me two days.
00:07:35.820
Because they were going to shoot me back down to about five blocks.
00:07:43.220
I said, you think I followed that guy for 4,000 kilometers to stop?
00:07:59.980
So, like, you're shooting an innocent guy, man.
00:08:04.180
A good Canadian boy like you wanting to shoot.
0.98
00:08:08.460
So, then the last officer that came up, he said, you can't go up there.
00:08:17.960
And he said, that guy's not pulling a 53-foot trailer.
00:08:26.220
So, he made some room, and he said, well, if you get up in there, he said, you're going
00:08:32.460
I said, I can back out of here in the middle of the night when there's no one down here.
00:08:39.040
Because I said, buddy, I'm going to the Barland buildings.
00:08:42.540
I have a really good friend that owns this trailer.
00:08:50.860
And his doctors told him if they do jab him, he probably won't make it.
00:08:54.780
And so, I said, his trailer is going to the front of the Barland buildings.
00:09:02.680
Just good luck for our country, and I hope something happens.
00:09:10.180
I mean, Justin's upset enough people, bad enough that he should almost step down.
00:09:16.120
But I don't know what you're replacing him with.
00:09:35.840
And the people on the overpasses, and the people, like I said, in the ditches, you know,
00:09:42.220
They come to the number one highway from all over Saskatchewan and Manitoba, and they were
00:09:46.120
out there in the minus 32, and the wind was blowing, and they were losing their minds
00:10:06.160
