Thundering Towards Ottawa
I wasn't kidding when I said Canada's truckers inspired people around the world.
In the above video, British television personality Neil Oliver delivers a thoughtful monologue about COVID-era concerns. At 7:20 minutes he says:
every once in a while I envy the jobs of others. All week now I’ve been wishing with all of my heart that I was a trucker, in Canada, thundering towards Ottawa. What a grand adventure. So grand, I don’t know whether to cheer or cry about it. Perhaps both.
At the end of the monologue, at the 9:20 mark, Oliver declares his support for “those Canadian pilgrims in their trucks.”
On YouTube, the video received more than 3,000 comments. Here are variations on a theme, posted by folks in America, Australia, New Zealand, South Africa, Sweden, Switzerland, the UK, Zimbabwe, and elsewhere:
