The “Freedom Convoy” of Canadian truckers protesting against authoritarian Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau’s Chinese coronavirus edicts in the form of mandates publicly gained a new fan over the weekend.
At his “Save America” rally in Conroe, Texas on Saturday, former President Donald Trump gave his support to the movement that is garnering headlines across the world.
“The Canadian truckers, you’ve been reading about it, who are resisting bravely these lawless mandates are doing more to defend American freedom than our own leaders by far,” Trump said. “And we those great Canadian truckers to know that we are with them all the way.”

Trudeau and his family reportedly fled the Canadian capital of Ottawa on Saturday ahead of the massive protest crowd who were awaiting the truckers arrival.
It makes one wonder whether or not Trudeau thinks that the people in his country opposing his mandates are still a “small, fringe minority of people.” If they were, would he have to flee Ottawa?
