There was a lot to talk about as the entire situation has been developing rapidly, and has spurred on many other nations to partake in a similar form of protest.

Hey Everyone! Recently the news of the Canadian Trucker Convoy has made its rounds through the Trucker Sphere. However, if you haven't heard anything about this event, we wanted to give you all an update. Effective January 15, 2022 all Canadian Truckers are required to have been fully vaccinated against Covid-19. As a result, a group of courageous truck drivers called out the Canadian government for an overreach of their power and a squashing of truckers' rights. This group has now become, by some reports, over 150,000 truck drivers, and most assuredly, many more individuals. We wanted to send out this PSA in order to let all of our listeners know not only what was happening, but also where you could support our fellow men and women. There is no pressure or requirement to support or donate, but we wanted to give you the option in case some of you didn't know how or where to go. Thank you all for your support, and stay safe out there!INFORMATION/DONATION:https://canada-unity.com/bearhug/RUSSEL BRAND INFORMATIVE VIDEO:https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=itbSIqY4NnwKEEP US FUELED: buymeacoffee.com/hammerlaneGET MANSCAPED: manscaped.com PROMO CODE: "HAMMERLANE" for 20% OFF!EMERGENCY PREPAREDNESS FOOD: www.preparewithhll.com LEAVE A VOICEMAIL: 515-585-MERK(6375)EMAIL US YOUR STORIES: [email protected] Website: www.hammerlanelegends.comGear: https://www.hammerlanelegends.com/gearYouTube: www.youtube.com/channel/UC5TWlB5Yqx8JlQr3p3bkkMgFacebook: www.facebook.com/hammerlanelegendsInstagram Desktop: www.instagram.com/hammerlanelegendsInstagram Mobile: @hammerlanelegendsTwitter Desktop: www.twitter.com/HLLPodcastTwitter Mobile: @HLLpodcastProduced by: Jack MerkelFollow Jack on Instagram @jack_theproducer
