Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau and his family were taken to an undisclosed location as thousands of demonstrators protesting Covid-19 vaccine mandates gathered in Ottawa, the country’s capital, on Saturday.

 

Even though more than a quarter of Canadian truckers are of Indian origin - mainly immigrants from Punjab - their presence at the protests was muted, barring some videos and photographs of their joining the participants, including serving food.

The Ottawa Sikh Society (OSS) said the Gurdwara Sahib would be closed over the weekend after several social media posts said truckers could find food and shelter at the gurdwara. It said on Facebook that posts suggesting that the gurdwara “will accommodate truckers’ convoy” were “false and unauthorised”, and OSS was “not associated with this protest in any shape or form”.

The Canadian Truckers’ Alliance (CTA) has already disassociated itself from the protest and has said nearly 90% of its approximately 300,000 members were vaccinated....

The prime minister’s office updated Trudeau’s itinerary to say he was somewhere in the National Capital Region, when usually he is at Rideau Cottage in Ottawa. Trudeau recently went into isolation, and has been working remotely, after one of his children tested positive for Covid-19.

The so-called “Freedom Convoy” started out as a rally of truckers against a vaccine mandates for cross-border drivers, but turned into a demonstration against government overreach, including vaccine passports and lockdowns, during the pandemic. Many arrived in the capital from various part of the country and laid siege to Parliament Hill, the seat of power.

The group has organised itself under the name Canadian Unity, managing to raise more than CAN$8.4 million......

Concerns were raised over the possible presence of extremist elements in the group after at least one Nazi flag was seen, and protesters danced at and desecrated sites like the Tomb of the Unknown Soldier and National War Memorial.

This drew a sharp reaction from minister of national defence Anita Anand, who said that these were “sacred sites” for the country and the “behaviour” seen was “beyond reprehensible” in a post on Twitter........

Message to apne who is at rally,

 

Look i get it, you want to protest against anti-vax- be my guest but please don't become pawn methodically set by white nationalist, think bigger- you are nothing but token gesture used by white nationalist- your images/videos are/will be used everywhere by white nationalist- claiming - they are not racist. They are "using you" to legitimize and normalize their group. Let them break it down to you - Yea they are not your friends. 

And while i am at it- Left is not your friend either- stop giving oxygen to both. The first time- Sikh Nation term was coined in west. I remember hearing it from BC, Canada- in solidarity with first nations/aboriginal groups, get behind- Sikh Nation is-independent from both and who just helps others to get justice those are in need without any agenda. That also means- smarten up and not get used by agenda set by white nationalist

Right now most marginalized groups in canada- our first nation aboriginal brothers, homeless people, black live matter than so called entitled white nationalist groups who just raised 8 millions dollars in just few days and are so admin cut arrogant, racist and narcissist -who pissed on fallen soldier graves, wave nazi flag, confederate flag,  tried to rob free meals from homeless shelter!!!!!!!!!!

No, bcoz healthy living and other things health related & science is not a priority to them. They only see $$$$$

You can adulter there food and feed them wrong medicine, they will not protest.

Don't forget what these mfs did to the indigenous!!! They are capable of anything! Things that would shock us. Things we wouldn't even imagine or ever think of.

Heard about the case of Cindy Gladue?
