Canadian Truckers Convoy 2022 - The Leaf calls you a Nazi as he gasses you

[Kiwisee]

Even though it came out last year, it’s relevant now. Feel free to add it to the convoy playlist

Ever tried to shit and shower in a cab?

Yes, actually. But instead of that you don't be a fucking moron and go to the truckstop to get a shower and take a dump. Buy 50 gallons of diesel and it's free. This stuff is standard procedure for truckers. You aren't renting hotels out there. You piss away way too much money doing that and it wastes time.

Watch the videos: there's a lot of smaller vehicles and tractors (fuckin' A) along for the ride.

Yeah, I saw that. I figured it was because of hanger's on. They are going to waste a shitload of funds doing that. Gonna be like three trucks in their protest by the time they get there because they spent all the money on motel rooms and restaurants rather than diesel. That shit ain't cheap. Not to mention all the mechanical shit that is going to come up. You just know the diesel cops are going to be hassling these guys and shutting them down over ticky-tacky shit the whole way there.

Yeah we got a big great convoy, across the big red leaf!

Convoyyyyyyyyy!

The top 4 GFM contributions are 10k, then 1 for 9k, and I can't be bothered to count past that.

Human looking names (as opposed to Anonymous or organizations) start at 5k.

Pretty respectable. Big enough that I can't blink it away, but small enough that I could see people saving it up without it being as pathetic as taking out student loans to donate to Sanders.

No idea what a normal GFM looks like though, so I can't say how natural that seems.

So regarding paying for hotels and shit while they're there... Is that dumb because they're using the resources that they're blocking out, or smart because they're committing to further straining the now-closed system?

 

[Getwhatyou]

50k trucks lol whatever.

 

[Kiwisee]

Have some social media discourse, because what’s a happening without that?

As Optimus prime once said "freedom is the right of all sentient beings".

Can't wait for the leaf government to start wading through the gofundme for "terrorists".

I remembered that quote differently

Not bad for a first day. Let’s see how long it can last

There aren't 50k owner/operators in the area so a handful of these may be from commercial fleets (trucking companies) which the business could not necessarily protest but it can loan its equipment to employees that want to exercise the right to protest.

Company trucks usually don't have cab accommodations and are used on local runs where the driver will spend 12 hours on the road but return home that night. So yes, they do need motel & food funds - as they do in literally any other run that will take over 12 hours. Generally drivers will pay out of pocket and then recieve major tax breaks at tax time when claiming expenses like food and lodging specifically as a truck driver. There is a significant population within 12 hours of Ottawa so I can see this as legitimate funding.

The white truckers are last few remaining "traditional" Canadians with traditional Canadian values.

Wherever there are truckers, there are piss jugs. This will be the scene in Ottawa when they get there.

 

[Clockwork_PurBle]

Unequivocally based.

There are traditional Canadian values? Can you please tell us more?

 

[Kiwisee]

Government employee is seething

 

[Car Won't Crank]

So besides the Polish pastor guy, the truckers are the only ones with balls in leaf land?

 

[sasazuka]

We like trucking.

Voiced by a Canadian, no less.

I'm sure there will be others who disagree but in my opinion the traditional values were a sort of liberalism with a right wing attitude. Canadians used to have a sense of patriotism and belonging as a Canadian. Trudeau's father was so beloved in memory because he seemed to represent that sort of attitude - he had ideas that looked similar to socialism but sometimes appeared conservative with family values (Canada loved the nuclear family, you need family to survive harsh winters).

Some of them still see truck driving as like the cowboys of the highway - they're outlaws, they bend the rules but ultimately they're just trying to make a living for their family at home. Some of them have pride of being a truck driver. Honestly, Ray from the Trailer Park Boys is a perfect example. Canada wasn't full of upper class millionaire rich people once upon a time. It was sort of built on the working class and the working class values itself helped shape the Canadian attitude. Truck drivers, especially working for a fleet, remain to be a blue collar work force. Those who can afford to become an owner/operators (as in they own their vehicle and make contracted hauls, usually across the country or between Canada and the US) were generally capable of living comfortably in the lower middle to middle class. They were less likely to be a "Ray" type and more likely someone who would go on to start their own fleet.

I liked the piss jugs comment because its not wrong. Neckbeards owe truckers props for the invention and popularization of sitting for 14 hours straight only moving your arms and feet.

I'm not saying truck drivers are heros or anything - cowboys were also dirty and you can make anything sound cool with the right words. But if you toss out the small population of sex offenders who are also truck drivers, overall the average driver is an upstanding citizen paying taxes and just trying to make a living. And sometimes pissing in jugs.

These are people who treat natives like actual human beings instead of reminding them that the only reason they still exist is because people got bored of killing them.
