As the Trucker Freedom Convoy continues to go viral, many prominent social media figures have begun collectively renaming Canada “Truckistan.”

The trend began Sunday when Human Events Daily host Jack Posobiec said, “The Truckistani people will be liberated!” Posobiec also suggested the capital be named “Dieseldorf.”

Will Chamberlain also added commentary. He tweeted, “Trudeau has fled the capital, the truckers have defeated the regime, all remaining ‘Canadian’ forces must now pledge allegiance to the Republic of Truckistan.”

Chamberlain continued, “Trump should promise to recognize the new Truckistani government as the legitimate government of the territory formerly known as Canada.”

“Its natural resources and polite, if otherwise excessively French-like, inhabitants make it one of our finest states,” added popular lawyer Ron Coleman.

The “Truckistan” enthusiasts even went so far as to make a map.

Canadian truckers made their way to Ottawa on Saturday for a planned protest in which they have stated their intention to “gridlock” the city until the Trudeau government lifts vaccine mandate requirements for the trucking industry.

Footage shot by The Post Millennial’s Beth Baisch in Ottawa on Saturday shows blocks and blocks of trucks lining the streets. Protesters are marching through sub zero temperatures to express their anger at the Trudeau government.

Trucks stretched for several blocks as protesters continued to gather at Parliament Hill. Protesters brought signs, music, and an incredible cacophony of honking horns as they stood bundled in the snow against the cold.
