Tesla CEO Elon Musk is becoming a vocal supporter of the Freedom Convoy in Ottawa. In a series of tweets Sunday, the billionaire lauded the convoy and slammed Prime Minister Justin Trudeau for referring to them as a "fringe minority."

"It would appear that the so-called 'fringe minority' is actually the government," Musk said in a tweet. "If the government had the mandate of the people, there would be a significant counter-protest. There is not, therefore they do not."

Musk also commended the pro-freedom convoy for protesting in Canadian weather. "Protesting in a Canadian winter shows real commitment!"

Europe's low-cost airline, Ryanair, reported missing its target of 11 million passengers in December, instead carrying 9.5 million, due to "media hysteria" over the Covid-19 Omicron variant.

The company's loss for the final three months of 2021 amounted to €96 million ($107 million), although this was a significant improvement over the €321 million ($359 million) loss in the same period in 2020.

Customer numbers, at 31.1 million, were more than three times higher, and revenues of €1.47 billion ($1.6 billion) were 331% up on 2020 levels.

Canadian truckers are exposing our governments' vulnerabilities

There are many western countries that have placed previously unthinkable restrictions on their citizens in the wake of the Covid pandemic, but Canada has been particularly cruel. In Quebec, unvaccinated people are not allowed to shop in common retail stores unless accompanied by a 'health monitor' to ensure they only purchase food and medicine before being escorted out. Canadians are charged a special tax due to their vaccination status and banned from places like restaurants and liquor stores. In the face of these tyrannical restrictions, the first sign of real resistance has come from an unlikely place: Canada's truckers. These essential workers formed what has been dubbed a Freedom Convoy traveling towards the nation's capital to protest the newest round of vaccine mandates targeting truck drivers. Millions of dollars have been raised in support of the convoy and over fifty-thousand truckers have descended on the city despite the subzero temperatures.

In response to the popular outcry, Canada's Prime Minister Justin Trudeau — who called the protestors a "fringe minority" holding "unacceptable views" — has reportedly fled his home in Ottawa along with his family to a secure and undisclosed location. Left-wing news outlets have already joined politicians in warning that the trucker convoy may be full of all the usual boogiemen: racists, extremists, white nationalists, etc. The narrative for a crackdown on the protest is clearly being laid and in one province the necessary legal action has already been taken. In Nova Scotia, the government has cited its powers under the Covid state of emergency that was declared back in March of 2020 in order to functionally ban the protest and criminalize supporting it. Those who finance, aid, or participate in the convoy, along with those who line the road to show support, will face a fine of up to $10,000.

A new video posted to social media depicts the Freedom Convoy confronting a masked man with a Confederate flag, who has been the subject of the mainstream media over the weekend. According to the video, the Canadian trucker convoy protesters confront the man, who then fled the scene.

Legacy media has published multiple headlines suggesting the man with a Confederate flag is representative of the entire group.

This is evidently not the case. "Now he's going. We called him out. He knows. He's gonna hold his head in shame now," said one protester.

The information that I am about to share with you is extremely alarming, but I have always endeavored to never sugarcoat things for my readers. Right now, there are shortages of certain items in grocery stores across the United States, and food supplies have gotten very tight all over the globe. I have repeatedly warned that this is just the beginning, but I didn't realize how dire things have already gotten until I received an email from a farming insider that I have corresponded with over the years. I asked him if I could publicly share some of the information that he was sharing with me, and he said that would be okay as long as I kept his name out of it.

According to this farming insider, dramatically increased costs for fertilizer will make it impossible for many farmers to profitably plant corn this year. The following is an excerpt from an email that he recently sent me...

"Things for 2022 are interesting (and scary). Input costs for things like fertilizer, liquid nitrogen and seeds are like triple and quadruple the old prices. It will not be profitable to plant this year. Let me repeat, the economics will NOT work. Our plan, is to drop about 700 acres of corn off and convert to soybeans (they use less fertilizer, and we also have chicken manure from that operation). Guess what? We are not the only ones with those plans. Already there is a shortage of soybean seeds, so we will see how that will work out. The way I see it, there will be a major grain shortage later in the year, especially with corn. I mean, we are small with that. What about these people in the midwest who have like 10,000 acres of corn? This will not be good."

After a week-long drive across Canada, a convoy of big rigs has arrived in the national capital to protest vaccine mandates and Covid-19 measures. Organisers insist it will be peaceful, but police say they're prepared for trouble.

It's been dubbed the Freedom Convoy, and it's got the country talking.

The movement was sparked by a vaccine mandate for truckers crossing the US-Canada border, implemented by Prime Minister Justin Trudeau's Liberal government earlier this month.

Oliver Twist may have wanted more, but university academics think the Charles Dickens classic is too much for some students.

The novel has become the latest recipient of a 'trigger warning' amid fears its depictions of poverty and crime-ridden London could cause 'anxiety' or 'distress'.

Staff at Royal Holloway, the University of London, have issued a content note for the book, alerting its readers to themes of 'child abuse', 'domestic violence' and 'racial prejudice'.

In a speech delivered Sunday in Brussels, Holocaust survivor Vera Sharav described the striking parallels between what she witnessed as a child in Nazi-controlled Romania, and COVID policies being enacted today by governments around the globe.

EDITOR'S NOTE: Holocaust survivor Vera Sharav was scheduled to deliver her remarks below on Sunday in Brussels at a rally protesting COVID mandates. After the rally was abruptly canceled because police threatened protesters, Sharav and other rally speakers gave their speeches at a restaurant.

Watch Sharav's speech:

Nova Scotia has made it illegal to gather alongside the interprovincial highway in support of the Truckers for Freedom Convoy.

The provincial government announced the directive Friday afternoon, claiming that "allowing people to gather in those areas would put themselves and others at risk."

Although called a "Highway Blockade Ban" on the government's press release, and is nominally directed towards "prohibiting protesters from blockading Highway 104 near the Nova Scotia-New Brunswick border," the ban also covers supporters of trucking convoys.

Kid Rock is making headlines yet again, this time announcing he won't perform anywhere with COVID-19 protocols in place.

Kid Rock made the announcement in a video on Facebook ahead of his tour tickets going on sale.

The tour will take him to 24 cities beginning on April 6th.

"You're going to be getting your money back because I won't be showing up either," he said on Facebook. "If you think I'm going to sit out there and say don't tell me how to live, 'We The People,' While people are holding up their f***ing vaccine cards and wearing masks, that s*it ain't happening."
