And God bless the Canadian truckers and the Canadian cowboys up there on the border." Schroder said that there’s "great potential" for American truckers critical of the mandates to kick off similar protests by descending upon Washington, D.C.

"We were so asleep." Schroder also captioned the video: "God Bless the Canadian Truckers & Cowboys.

We are not Livestock. We are Free Souls. Whatever it takes...it’s for our children’s children we Fight. Freedom & God. Matthew 13." On Thursday, the Biden administration urged Prime Minister Justin Trudeau’s government to use its federal powers to end the truck blockade by Canadians protesting the country’s COVID-19 restrictions, as the bumper-to-bumper demonstration forced auto plants on both sides of the border to shut down or scale back production.
