The blare of the Ottawa-bound Freedom Convoy’s horns are reverberating around the globe..People from Finland to Belgium, England to France, the Slovak Republic to the U.S., Mexico and elsewhere, are cheering on the Canadian truckers..“It took Canada to shake the world!!!! Woooohoooo I am so proud of them,” wrote Montreal’s Connie D’Angelo, on the Freedom Convoy Support 2022 Facebook page..NHL great and gold medalist Theo Fleury declared his support for Canada’s truckers on Fox News Tuesday and Donald Trump Jr. praised the “genius” of the peaceful convoy..Obedience to mandates have only earned people more crippling mandates. Freedoms are stripped away, many needlessly, under the guise of a pandemic..People worldwide have been hungry for a hero to rise up and fight for them..A collective hero from Maple syrup-sweet and polite Canada obliged..The convoy of thousands of truckers driving thousands of rigs, pickups, and cars from several directions across thousands of kilometres, is financed by $5.5 million (and counting) in mostly modest donations from thousands of supporters on GoFundMe..“Thank you Canadians, we are with you by heart, it’s huge what’s happening, the gathering of peoples, the whole world is waking up, hoping that our truckers in France will take an example from you, we love you,” wrote France’s Bernadette Arnaud Tortosa..“When y’all get done there head on over to D.C. God bless truckers, Canada and America,” wrote Rich Brown, from the U.S. heartland..“Bless you al (sic). Safe yorney (sic). I’m watching Slovak Republic — Europe,” wrote Iveta Povinska..“Respect to you all watching from London England,” wrote Joan Oshaughnessy..Andy Dzierzba wrote: “GoGoGo 10 wheelers – Greetings from Belgium.”.Thousands of truckers are reported to be headed northbound from several U.S. states to show support..“Thanks to stand with us all. USA and Canada united and stronger than ever. Can we invite Mexican’s trucker(s) you think?” wrote Sophie Poitras..Truckers oppose the cross-border vaccine mandates that severely impact their livelihoods — and those of all Canadians..Freedom Convoy demands include the termination of all vaccine passports and elimination of mandatory programs of vaccination and contact tracing. It calls for respecting the rights of those who wish to remain unvaccinated and an end to the divisive rhetoric attacking Canadians who disagree with government mandates..For two years Prime Minister Justin Trudeau suffered “vaccine derangement syndrome where every day he stands up at the stump and that’s all he talks about,” Fleury said during an appearance on the Fox News show Ingraham Angle..“Right now in Canada, we have one of the biggest revolutions happening… Right now 50,000 truckers and about 1.4 million people headed to the Parliament in Ottawa. They’re gonna stay there until Trudeau resigns or they give us back all of our freedoms and rights.”.Estimates vary on the number of people expected to join the convoys when they converge in Ottawa this weekend..The truckers have “ignited” the entire country..“I’ve been spending a lot of time on social media helping promote the truckers and getting their word out, and all that. Even I, big tough hockey player have, you know, shed a few tears because I haven’t seen my country this behind something, and this excited about something in a very long time,” Fleury said on the talk show..Asked Ingraham: “Theo, it takes a lot to get the Canadians angry … it’s not a protest culture in Canada, right?”.“The thing about Canadians is eventually our fuse, our long, long fuse, burns out. And that’s where we are in the country.”.Fleury said he’s a patriot who likes his freedom and wants it back, like most Canadians..Trump Jr. praised Canada’s “genius” truckers..“Awesome jobs guys. Keep it up. Proud of you,” he said..Standing together to “push back against the insanity” is the key to winning..“So, this is a genius idea. We need to see more of this in the U.S.,” said Trump, who added he’d like to see more actions like the Freedom Convoy in countries like New Zealand and Australia..“So, let’s support these truckers fighting for freedom, fighting as patriots in their country and as patriots in America.”.He pointed a finger at U.S. President Joe Biden..“I would say there’s a strong possibility Biden put the recent vax mandates on truckers crossing the border to try to stop exactly this kind of global movement. If it wasn’t about stopping that movement, maybe they’d have the same mandates on our Southern border and for people that are not truckers..“Watch what’s going on, watch this motorcade, this convoy, 70 kms — 50 miles basically. They want to lock down the state capital until the mandates are lifted until freedom is restored in their country. If we all take a similar and peaceful approach to doing it, we’ll get it done.”.Meanwhile, Elene Bricault sent support from Finland. “I’m sure the planet is with you.”.Ontario’s Alex Eadie asked: “When is the convoy rolling through narin (sic) Ontario?
