Just read the trucker convoy heading to Ottawa is now 70km long. Gofundme is now judge and jury to where the 5 million or so raised will be spent. This is going to get interesting.

QC to tax antivaxxers
- Thread starter timtune
- Start date
Well she said it was going to food, lodging etc for the participants. It shouldn't be hard to get GFM to cut a cheque to a hotel. I suspect she was hoping to get a $4.5M cheque to disburse (or not) as she pleased. Once it's in her hands, any ability to ensure funds are used for the stated purpose is lost.
EDIT:
It's hard to find real numbers but the 70 km length comes up often. One source says 600 trucks. That seems plausible but probably an overstated number of trucks (~116m average distance per truck assuming they are single file). I expect 1000 trucks or so, the 150,000 they keep touting is just complete BS insanity.

That money was never going to go to the truckers. It would have sprinkled a few dollars and the rest would be to ‘keep up the good fight.’ And would be kept in the organizers hands.Well she said it was going to food, lodging etc for the participants.

As for the distance my only concern is your length. 116m long truck is awful long. Assuming you meant feet…80ft for truck + 20ft on each side for space = 22km for a 600 truck convoy.
I also thought the same when I first read it. Did some quick searches and turns out because of scarcity of organs, if you’re not willing to change lifestyle then you can very easily be removed from the wait list.
Lung transfer recipients can be dropped if they strongly object to quitting smoking for instance.
Liver transfer recipients can be dropped if they refuse to quick drinking.
Same as my buddys doctor told him “I’ll replace the first set of knees now, but if you keep being a fat ass then I’m not doing the second set.”
Being an organ recipient comes with huge responsibilities. A friend just had his kidney replaced and because there aren’t enough donors, his wife had to give up her kidney to a network so that her husband could get one and live to see his children grow. That’s love and sacrifice. I’d be damned if my organs went to someone who refuses to treat that life saving gift with the same respect. It comes with a lifetime of pills to ensure your body doesn’t reject the new organ.
This father will get his heart. It’s in the news and heartstrings will be pulled. Mission accomplished.
That is travelling distance not truck length. Distance from one front bumper to the next front bumper. It includes vehicle length and following distance. It seemed short for tractor-trailers but many are bobtailing so it seems plausible.
I just read an article on CP24 that said there were about 1,200 vehicles that rolled into Winnipeg.
“Most of the vehicles in the convoy Tuesday were not semis. There were pickup trucks and the occasional sport utility vehicle.”

wtf are you looking at logic for? LoL
They're so angry that Canada has a mandate that they forgot the US and Mexico (?) do also. Even if the mandate is dropped...they can't cross the border. This is why they're stupid.
Can I join with my Volt? lolI just read an article on CP24 that said there were about 1,200 vehicles that rolled into Winnipeg.

Gas guzzlers only. Tree hugging hybrid hippies need not apply.
You can only join if your car is plastered with Vegan stickers/slogans.
So, it's a bunch of accountants headed for Ottawa.I just read an article on CP24 that said there were about 1,200 vehicles that rolled into Winnipeg.
