Hibernation Day #117 | Lovely, clear, sunny day. A bit cold here on the Island. But watching our truckers and their overpass and parking lot supporters in -40 I count my blessings. #FreedomConvoy2022 1/

I have never been more proud to be Canadian. This has the same feeling as the first Russia Canada all the way back in 1972. A nation standing together. But the truckers are about more important things. #FreedomConvoy2022 2/

So are the thousands of people standing in the freezing cold on the overpasses. Or the people handing out home made lunches at the truck stops. Or the people pushing the GoFundMe over 6 million. #FreedomConvoy2022 3/

Canadians know how to work together. We saw it when men spontaneously organized themselves to save the pumping station at Sumas Prairie during the BC floods. Or when the guy with the snowblower does all the driveways on his block. #FreedomConvoy2022 4/

You see the job, you get it done. Our feckless mainstream politicians are not good at spontaneous: Our Prime Minister is self-isolating from the "unacceptables" while @CPC_HQ had O'Toole "write" a mealy mouthed screed for the Sun. #FreedomConvoy2022 5/

Midwit officials hit on the happy idea of turning off the highway webcams as the trucks went by. I'd be outraged if it were not such a lame show of pure fear. The CBC was caught pointing a camera where the crowd wasn't. #FreedomConvoy2022 6/

What none of these people have quite figured out is that everyone has a high res video camera in their pocket. They don't really understand that you can upload your "citizens" video and it will be live on the net. #FreedomConvoy2022 7/

And we have "reach". This is a tiny T account, my lovely T friend @canadiangirls99 has 50K followers, and she is retweeting any video she finds. But @elonmusk has millions and he's tweeted for Canadian truckers. #FreedomConvoy2022 8/

Legacy media is trying hard to spin the truckers into white supremacists with unacceptable views if it covers them at all. But legacy media is dying. Having stopped reporting actual news it is losing its audience. #FreedomConvoy2022 9/

Legacy politicians, having gone all in for the suspension of Canadians' Charter Rights are being confronted by a tiny minority several million strong willing to stand for hours in sub-zero temperatures. They have no idea what to do. #FreedomConvoy2022 10/

I hope Canadians will show up at the many local rallies planned in support of the truckers this Saturday. And ditch your masks. Spring is Coming! #FreedomConvoy2022 11/11
