1 - It's crazy how I never would have considered truckers as the ideal group to start the movement but after the fact, I realize that it can't really have been any other group. They are the most mobile group, in a vast territory without a massive population, I can't think of any better way to coalesce unity across the country.
2 - Whatever the numbers of trucks, on nearly every overpass and places where people gather in support has shown hundreds and sometimes what must have been ~10k people. We might have 2-3 million who have showed support just on the side of the roads, I really view this as a show that must be at similar energy levels when the troops were going to WW2.
3 - The prospect that "Watch CA" could have meant "watch Canada" had hit me as possible the other day, glad to see others are making that connection from a different angle. The idea came to me after seeing the Trump Jr video of support, for the truckers. I'm hoping this is the correct interpretation, which suggests that this will be a successful venture. This point gets really hard to manage expectations, knowing Trudie is off his rocker now I am unwilling to take anything off the table that he might try.
Well, close enough to true, there's the group from the east coast and Quebec that are coming in from the other side. The word is there are a few thousand trucks from the US coming up as well.
#2 hit me earlier this week as I was reflecting on whether the current atmosphere is at all similar to what it was like in WWII to send our boys off to crush tyranny.
I have to think that it is at least somewhat similar.

Canada's also the perfect country to do it in too, one main highway connecting the major cities all in a line ending at the capital city

Now the government sends Tyrannys to fight our boys.
What a world.
