Ottawa mayor declares state of emergency as police threaten arrests for bringing gas to Freedom Convoy --Approximately 500 vehicles remain in the Canadian capital |
6 Feb 2022 | Ottawa Mayor Jim Watson declared a state of emergency
Sunday afternoon as approximately 500 trucks and vehicles with the
"Freedom Convoy" continue to linger in the streets of the Canadian
capital to protest vaccine mandates. The declaration came hours after
the Ottawa Police threatened to arrest anyone who brings gasoline or
other material support to the truckers. "Anyone attempting to bring
material supports (gas, etc.) to the demonstrators could be subject to
arrest. Enforcement is underway," the police announced in a tweet emblazoned with "IMPORTANT." Demonstrators who spoke to Fox News Digital said they
were amazed by the outpouring of support from their fellow Canadians.
Many have donated fuel, which is an asset in keeping the trucks -- and
the protest -- powered.
Thousands of people show up to support huge Edmonton anti lockdown truck convoy --Thousands
of supporters braved a snowstorm to cheer on the truckers and farmers
in the noisy spectacle against lockdown restrictions.
| 7 Feb 2022 | Dozens of tractors, one school bus, and 10 hay bales
joined hundreds of trucks in a convoy near the Alberta legislature
grounds on Saturday afternoon in a symphony of honks and freedom. The
Edmonton convoy drew truckers from across Alberta and was organized in
support of the Ottawa Convoy for Freedom that has settled in for a
second week in the nation's capital. What started as a movement of
truckers against vaccine mandates to cross the border has now grown into
a nationwide movement to reject vaccine passports, forced masking and
other lockdown limits on freedom. The Edmonton convoy and protest, like
the one in Ottawa, and the others in cities and towns across the
country, was largely peaceful with police intervention only needed for a
handful of jaywalkers with Canadian flags on hockey sticks.

7 Feb 2022 | A truckers’ convoy traveled across Alaska on Sunday to
show support for the Canadian "Freedom Convoy" that's been protesting in
the country’s capital of Ottawa for nearly two weeks straight. In an
event dubbed the "Alaska Freedom Convoy," which was organized by
Anchorage Assembly member Jamie Allard, more than 100 drivers in trucks
and personal vehicles traveled from the parking lot of a sporting goods
store in Anchorage to the Eagle River Alaska Lions Club, Anchorage Daily
News reported.
"We want to support our truckers," Allard told KTUU. "Without them,
we’re not getting our supply. We need to get our supplies here. People
need to be recognized for everything we’re doing here in our city.”
US truckers slam Facebook for removing page organizing DC freedom convoy: 'Censorship at its finest' --Truckers plan to drive from California to Washington, D.C., in protest of vaccine mandates.
| American truckers are following Canada's lead and organizing a
protest against vaccine mandates. The U.S. group's Facebook page,
however, was removed early Wednesday in a move that the organizer called
"censorship at its finest." The group, titled "Convoy to D.C. 2022,"
acted as a place for truckers to plan and coordinate their trek from
California to Washington, D.C. Jeremy Johnson, who set up the Facebook
group, said his personal account was also removed, prompting him to
contact a civil rights attorney to discuss the next steps. "They like to
silence people that speak the truth," Johnson said of his Facebook ban.
GoFundMe backtracks on redistributing contributions for Canadian truckers, under threat of fraud investigation --Crowdfunding platform says it will automatically refund 10 million in donations |
5 Feb 2022 | Facing a potential fraud investigation by the state of
Florida, GoFundMe reversed a decision to redistribute m-ney given by
thousands of donors to the Canadian "Freedom Convoy" protesting COVID-19
regulations. On Friday, the crowdfunding platform GoFundMe froze the
convoy's official campaign, claiming law enforcement convinced the
company that the convoy had become violent and unlawful. GoFundMe
encouraged donors to submit a refund form, and said that any funds not
properly returned to donors would be donated to a charity chosen by the
Freedom Convoy. Within hours, however, GoFundMe walked back the refund
applications, instead announcing it would be refunding donors
automatically. Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis said that he would "investigate" the company, accusing them of fraud.
