Lindell Sends 10K Pillows to Canadian Truckers, Detained at Canadian Border and Deported Back to US

How did this man become rich again? Because he just doesn’t pay very close attention to the type of details we were always taught made the difference between having a successful business versus failing in the first year. A man whose business depends upon getting his product into people’s bedrooms (of all places) would seem to be someone who has mastered the process of getting the product off the production line and under a person or couple’s heads.

Not so much. And, given the “details” that Lindell has skipped over in his unending crusade in pushing the big lie, none of this should be surprising. But it is really funny because it’s too symbolic of everything “Mike” these days. From The Independent:

MyPillow chief executive Mike Lindell’s plan to send a truck full of pillows to Canada to show solidarity with the “Freedom Convoy” protesters hit a roadblock, after the Canadian authorities sent back his crew for being unvaccinated.

He told Newsweek that he expected his MyPillow delivery truck to face no obstacles on Wednesday. “They’ll be getting across tomorrow morning, I don’t see any problem that they’re gonna have. They’ve got all the right credentials and everything. They’re definitely not vaccinated,” he was quoted as saying on Tuesday.

Brian Glenn, a correspondent for the Right Side Broadcasting Network told his audience, “Upon entry to Canada, we were asked several questions. The last question they ask you is, ‘Are you vaccinated?’ or ‘Do you have a negative PCR molecular test?’ And, of course, I’m not vaccinated, nor do I have a test.”

Of course, I’m not vaccinated, I believe that the election was stolen from Donald Trump, so of course, I’m not going to make Joe Biden happy by being vaccinated!

We are going to bet that we could ask the average 10 year old right now, “What are some questions you would want to make sure you had answered as you planned a trip to Canada if we leave in two days?” because we think the average ten year old would say something to the effect that they better check and see if they need to be vaccinated or have something else.

OF COURSE, these guys weren’t. Maybe they didn’t know the type of test they needed? No one looked into it.

Somehow, Mike built a business that got his product into people’s beds, but he now cannot figure out a way to get them across a border.
