  1. Can food prices get any worse? How high can the price of food and gas go up before it bankrupts the small hard working families? What’s the priminister doing to help?? He’s making it worse I thought we were all in this together?

  2. Starve out the Walmart Safeway’s shipments for a few weeks see how much money they can charge when they have nothing to sell.

  3. Hopefully THEY WON’T because the truckers on their way to Ottawa will turn the city into a parking lot until the mandates are lifted.

    1. I am from Ottawa.. many of my friends & family are going to give the truckers free room & board.. they are spending money of their own out of their pockets to fight for your freedoms.. Go Truckers Go!

    2. @Daniela Smale Thank you sister.. please share all the trucker videos.. we are losing both beautiful Canada & USA..

  4. considering how food prices are already rising, many grocery shelves are already empty, firing 26,000 truckers is not going to make things any better. In fact it very well could collapse our supply chain. A recent poll found that 57% of Canadians are struggling to feed their families. These are inconvenient facts that the government is trying to make you ignore.

  5. Don鈥檛 give in to the rhetoric, skyrocketing prices are brought to you directly from the incompetence of Trudeau! I stand in solidarity with the men and women who help keep this country alive, the truckers鉂わ笍

  6. The same thing as with nurses, heroes yesterday trash today. My hats off to the truckers, you are heroes regardless what the corrupt government says….馃憤馃憤馃憤

  7. Kind of random how it鈥檚 truckers who are making a difference. I just never thought that they would have a say in this mess… what a pleasant gift of humanity to all Canadians !!

  8. Sharon-馃挅 饾惞**小袣 袦袝 - 小袧袝饾挒饾挦 饾憖饾挻 袪饾憛饾煝饾惞饾惣饾惪袝馃敒 says:

    I’m proud of all the truckers no matter how long it takes
