Not exactly. After the the first week of protesting the mandates the Conservatives put a motion to the floor to have the Liberal government lay out a time table and plan to lift the restrictions in Canada. This wasn't an unreasonable motion as most Canadians were watching countries around the world drop their mandates and the majority of the country yearned and still do for the easing of restrictions. The Liberal gov't supported by the NDP defeated the motion even after Chief Tam said it was time to let off the gas. Here we are a month later with no plan and even more governmental overreach. This could of all been over and done with had Trudeau followed the advice of his Chief medical officer and laid out a plan for reopening. Instead he chose to enact the EMA. These restrictions and overreach will continue until you wake up and unite with the majority of Canadians and peacefully just say no.

Actually that is wrong it wasn't the first weekend. It was the plan before they even started the trucks and drove across Canada
To bad the media and government ignored it.
Just call them the small fringe and other names .

The majority of Canadians did not support the protestors. No protest that occupies a downtown core for three weeks and requires force to remove it can be described as "peaceful."

Any organization that starts out very small,but,suddenly ignites a movement of like-minded people who connect and contribute morally and financially from all over north America are anything BUT a "small fringe". To claim that shows how desparate Liberals really are,especially,a PM who attempts to minimalize and deflect to the degree he has. Enacting the EMA is another act of complete desparation of completely failed governance. Given the abject failure of this government,anyone with even a modicum of common decency would resign.

Well if you think it's just the unvaccinated then you don't see the bigger picture. The are business owners, unvaccinated and fully vaccinated, people who have seen the vaccine injuries, people who made the choice in fear of loosing everything they have and being forced to take it. . It's people who have seen the lockdowns destroy their family by suicide other things . It's from the government overreach on mandates using everything in their power to push for vaccines while ignoring certain facts.
It's people who are upset with the lies and manipulation of our government and media.
Plenty more then just a few unvaccinated truckers. How much are the people supposed to take ? How many lies and manipulated stats are we supposed take without questions.
When the government uses a pandemic as an opportunity there is problem.
What about the the parental right taken away for teenagers to get the shot to go to the movies. ?
They are kids that were manipulated in taking an experimental jab with incentives like ice cream, cash and video games.
How many lies are the people supposed to hear before they stop trusting in our government?
I couldn't even go and see my dying grandmother that should be my choice not the governments. Instead she was left on her own to die .

They crowd sourced $9.5 million on Go Fund Me and $2.5 million on Give Send Go. Who knows what the total would be if not shut down and under the threat of frozen bank accounts and assets. I'm not sure a small fringe is capable of creating an effect across the entire globe the way this has.

The government has stopped about 20 million in funding between 3 platforms.
Now they have to sell merchandise for the cause lol.
Rumor has it that only about 1 in 5 who support the movement were in person. Just because they were not on the front lines doesn't mean the supporters are not there.
So things could still get messy . I haven't been in person yet so busy had to get the car fixed working on my bathroom and life is keeping me with very little time . But we fully support what's happening and my wife is looking forward to the warmer weather to get out there lol.
7 of us here support the movement I can't add my youngest I haven't asked her and she hasn't told me lol.
So the boots on the ground is just a minority of supporters .

But you all realize the majority of the mandates came from the provincial governments. Seems to me, they’re being let off the hook and most of the pent up anger is being directed at Trudeau. I’m just saying, it looks awfully convenient to rally around one joining cause (anti-liberal) when you feel your government of choice is not representing you. But the majority of these mandates that are directly affecting you are provincial jurisdiction. Yet there’s not many that went after Ford, Kenney or Moe (all conservative) in such a manner as they directed toward Trudeau. It appears convenient.

Provincial governments can only do what the Feds tell them to do or the transfer of funds is heavily impacted. Rule #1 of every government is that poop rolls downhill.
