Recap of Day 2 of the Truckers for Freedom Convoy across Canada

Today was the second official day of the Truckers for Freedom Convoy 2022 across Canada to protest vaccine mandates, forced vaccines and other heavy-handed government restrictions.

Truckers in the West made their way through Alberta today and are expected to be in Saskatchewan by Tuesday.

This was the scene in British Columbia yesterday.

This was the scene in Calgary a few hours later. 

Around 1am on January 24, 2022 the freedom trucker convoy made its way through Airdrie, Alberta, Canada outside of Calgary.

Canadian author Jordan Peterson retweeted news that approximately 500,000 Canadian truckers will descend on Ottawa Saturday. He warned Prime Minister Justin Trudeau that he’s in for “a very bad week.”

50000 trucks. You're in for a very bad week @JustinTrudeau. And that's not everything that's about to happen. https://t.co/DGsaSCCDVx

Asked twice today about whether or not he supports the trucker convoy and if he will meet with the truckers when they arrive in Ottawa on Saturday, Conservative leader Erin O’Toole refused to answer both questions definitively and instead encouraged truckers to get vaccinated.

Unlike the Conservative leader, Alberta Conservative MP for Bow River Martin Shields publicly supported the truckers. He posted a video on Twitter in support of the convoy, saying “I am in Ottawa awaiting the trucking convoy on its way to the capital” and “It’s time to get our freedoms back.”

I am in Ottawa awaiting the trucking convoy on its way to the capital. Canadian supply chains are critical and the Trudeau Liberal government’s mandates and freedom-curbing restrictions have gone on too long. It’s time to get our freedoms back. #cdnpoli pic.twitter.com/LAl956dN0V

Dragon’s Den star Brett Wilson called out the legacy media and in particular, CBC, CTV, Global News and Fox News for their lack of coverage of the convoy saying that they have “no right to ignore” the trucker protest.

Hey @ctv and @cbc and @globalnews and @City_tv and @BNNBloomberg and @FoxNews

Suggest Google “trucking convoy Canada” in the next day or so.

It’s a story you have no right to ignore. And you need to get it right. It’s not hundreds it’s thousands.

And it’s convoy for Canada.
