Some trucking firms are trying to disassociate from the ongoing protest in downtown Ottawa after a website published photos to 'name and shame' companies that had vehicles involved in the demonstration.

A large number of children in trucks at the Ottawa protest is complicating the response and police say they’re working with Children’s Aid to ensure their safety. Meanwhile, political division over the protests grows on Parliament Hill., initiated by an Ottawa IT specialist, started posting names of companies that had trucks in the protest area, along with photos with the intent of "naming and shaming" those involved.

A map on the website shows truck companies located across Canada and some headquartered in the U.S. Those behind the website said the owner of one firm, who supports the protest, sent an email to the webmaster labelling the website a disgrace.Nova Scotia trucking firm Seaboard Transport told CBC it doesn't support the convoy, but one of its trucks was photographed as part of the protest.

A similar message was delivered by Kimberly Biback from Sharp Transportation Systems in Cambridge, Ont. "We have stated from the beginning that we respect the constitutional rights to peaceful assembly, but do not support where actions and behaviours infringe upon the rights of others," Sharp posted in a statement on LinkedIn.

"We completely disassociate ourselves from this event," said Mylène Dupéré, vice-president of corporate communications at Agropur.Another transport truck company manager who spoke to CBC on the condition of anonymity says his family has been threatened by those for and against the protest since photos of his trucks were posted to the convoy traitor site.

Ottawa You guys had to have bought your followers because looking at your tweets no one cares what you have to say anymore...

Ottawa only cowards and bullies weaponize their vehicles and terrorize the public. oh, and invading armies too

Ottawa

Ottawa You actually retweeted Kamala Harris, noboby, ever, does that! Your credibility, not so high!

Ottawa

Ottawa

Ottawa they could fire them and report the vehicles stolen

Ottawa How about you report on the demeanour of the brave Canadians that are standing for our freedom!! Shame on you!!

Ottawa

Ottawa You guys should be ashamed to attempt to call yourselves unbiased news after all your biased Covid reporting and portrayal of the Canadian Truckers

ellenwoodsworth Ottawa Yeah...how many reported their trucks stolen?

Ottawa Any chance you could actually stop giving our Premiere fordnation a free pass on this and call him out for his complete lack of presence and action? When did CBC become a toolfor the Right?

Ottawa Fire them all.

Ottawa

Ottawa Is there any possible way you can stop calling it a “protest?” I believe by doing so you are giving literal terrorists legitimacy, and as our primary Canadian news source that many have always admired and relied on, calling them “protestors” is almost like taking their side.

Ottawa Good luck cause we saw you supported the violent Nationalists and so did your insurance company.

Ottawa Since the noise injunction, truckers are sitting in their trucks honking squeezy toys purchased at dollar stores. Hardly an occupation. People, don't read/watch Canadian content—watch world news. Trudeau & liberal_party are laughing-stocks worldwide. cndpoli

Ottawa

DjOsaze Hahahaha 'oh no, if it isn't the consequences of my own actions!'

I like it. There is a reason they have the time to stand around, not offered any contracts. Why you ask. They are not vaccinated, they do not respect anyone or anything, and they do not listen. Shame on you for attempting to hide behind all the great truckers in 🇨🇦 🍁

There is no shame. The people who raised 10 mill not once but 2x will stand by them.

That’s funny

So, time to step up and end those contracts!

These same companies need to step up & talk to the tow trucks. They won’t help bc they are afraid of retribution from truckers & truck companies. If the companies stand by them, they will go & remove.

Ottawa The layers of stupidity. That’s all.

Ottawa Who wants to work for company that doesn't want you to have the right to protest peacefully...

Ottawa well thats too bad for them ain't it

Only businesses I’ll deal with at this point. Trucking is a fraternity, be careful they don’t distance themselves from future profits by being labelled establishment scabs

Maybe the transport company’s should have been proactive and contacted all their O/O to have the company logos removed or their contracts would be torn up

Yeah, there are a lot of those. And they've been duly noted, in case the company needs to know what their employees have been doing with company assets on company time.

Another dire move from the msm and the feds in an effort to control the narrative… it’s fascinating to watch desperate people in a total whirlwind of fear.

Many trucking firms are quite proud of their involvement. Generally, these are owner operators though. Not big corps

Sweet! Now I know who the real patriots are so KUDOS to those companies 👍

Finally...there are consequences to their actions!!!!!!

Most reasonable employers don’t want their business partners or employees illegally occupying a city … most don’t I expect.

'Some'. 'Many still appreciating the convoy stance '

For those that believe in freedom - Watch from 2:30 - Canadian MP RaquelDancho as she points out the damage JustinTrudeau is doing

Oooh I see Bumblebee 😁

I personally believe the quackscenes are causing myocarditis, pericarditis, seizures, paralysis, miscarriages, stillbirths, a wide range of other symptoms, and even death. I believe those who have taken the quackscenes shed and spread to others.

“Canadian” broadcast company ever going to say anything positive about the thousands of Canadians standing up for all Canadians rights?

People have been fired for less.
