FOG BLOG CANADA NEWS LOG: TRUCKER CONVOY TO OTTAWA FROM VARIOUS PARTS OF CANADA!
Trucker convoy against vaccine mandates rolls through Ontario en route to Ottawa...Organizations that oversee Ontario, Canadian truckers have come out against the protest.......A convoy of truckers opposed to COVID-19 vaccine mandates is making its way through southwestern Ontario on Thursday, bringing traffic headaches while drawing scorn from some and praise from others.
Hundreds of people gathered in London at a local truck stop and on an overpass across Highway 401, waiting for the convoy to arrive from Windsor and Sarnia, the region's two border points with the United States.
People waved flags and drank coffee as the convoy's arrival was delayed, in part due to a serious collision earlier in the morning that closed the eastbound lanes of the highway near Tilbury.

"I worked for two years to bring goods and services, and toilet paper and everything to everyone. We went through having no showers, no bathrooms, no food — we starved sometimes for days on end on the road — and nobody cared about us then, and now all of a sudden, they care," said convoy trucker Bridgette Belton, who owns and operates her own rig running food products and containers between Canada and the United States.
"My husband and I spend 269 days a year away from each other, away from home, working for Canada to bring their goods and services to market and to bring goods and services to Canadians."
