<p>On Friday, Michael Adder, the political cartoonist for the Washington Post, mocked the Freedom Convoy of truckers crossing the breadth of Canada and heading for the nation’s capital, Ottawa, to protest against Canada’s vaccine mandate. Adder created a cartoon of numerous trucks, all labeled in capital letters “FASCISM,” adding the hashtags, “fascism” and “supplychain.”</p>
<p>https://twitter.com/deAdder/status/1487069788769865731</p>
<p>Roughly five hours later, The Post printed an <a href="https://www.washingtonpost.com/opinions/2022/01/28/canada-must-confront-toxic-protest-freedom-convoy/">opinion piece</a> attacking the convoy. The author, David Moscrop, wrote, “The movement shares an affinity with Trumpist toxic authoritarianist politics.”</p>
<p>“Time and time again we learn the lesson, or at least come across it, that teaches us that rage-soaked antigovernment types can’t be reasoned with,” Moscrop continued. “This time around, the convoy has produced an incoherent ‘memorandum of understanding’ premised upon a misunderstanding of government and absurd demands. Of course, the memo should be ignored. It’s the product of a temper tantrum.”</p>
<p>Mocking the convoy as a “fringe group,” Moscrop charged, “They are driven by a generalized rage, misplaced anger about supply chain challenges and antigovernment sentiment.” He played the race card: “These types of groups are typically driven by attitudes, grievances and priorities of such a nature that they pose a particular risk to racialized folks and other groups that are traditionally the target of hate and violence.”</p>
<p>Moscrop then enunciated the classic tropes of the Left:</p>
<blockquote><p><em>The convoy speaks of threats to liberty. It would be close to something if the participants weren’t so far off. Threats to liberty are rampant in Canada, but not because of vaccine mandates. Rather, it is income and wealth inequality; worker exploitation; gendered, religious, racialized and other forms of hate violence; ongoing settler colonialism; and other forms of structural marginalization and oppression that compromise liberty.</em></p></blockquote>
<p>“According to Guinness World Records, the longest truck convoy ever recorded was 7.5 km long, in Egypt in 2020. The Freedom Convoy heading from British Columbia to Ottawa is said to be considerably longer,” <a href="https://torontosun.com/news/local-news/warmington-freedom-truckers-may-form-worlds-longest-convoy">The Toronto Sun</a> reported.</p>
<p>The truckers hope to make it to Ottawa, Canada’s capital, by Saturday to stage their protest. If the convoy holds together, “it could be 10 times larger than the world record,” The Sun noted, pointing out that Guinness states:</p>
<blockquote><p><em>The largest parade of trucks consisted of 480 trucks and is achieved by Tahya Misr Fund (Egypt), in Cairo, Egypt, on 20 November 2020. With a length of 7.5 km, Tahya Misr Fund was able to organize a parade of 480 trucks, amid the harsh weather and heavy rain, breaking the Guinness World Records title for the largest parade of trucks, which was achieved 16 years ago in the Netherlands with a parade size of 416 trucks.</em></p></blockquote>
<p>The trucks are coming from all over and some estimates have speculated 10,000 trucks could comprise the convoy.</p>
<p>The Freedom Convoy’s <a href="https://www.gofundme.com/f/taking-back-our-freedom-convoy-2022">GoFundMe site</a> has already raised a massive six million dollars. The site states:</p>
<blockquote><p><em>To our Fellow Canadians, the time for political over reach is over.  Our current government is implementing rules and mandates that are destroying the foundation of our businesses, industries and livelihoods.  Canadians have been integral to the fabric of humanity in many ways that have shaped the planet. </em></p></blockquote>
