#FreedomConvoyCanada2022 Update. This is where it gets tough. The crowds dissipate, people go to work, the truckers stay and it gets a little lonely until the weekend. Keep your heads up high, you are making a difference. Here's a brief summary of some of what's happening 1/9
1) Postmedia (largest newspaper chain in Canada) calls for all restrictions to be lifted 2) Conservative MPs vote to review Erin O'Toole's leadership this Wednesday because of his lack of support for truckers 2/9
3) Conservative Deputy Leader Candace Bergen and other MPs like @PierrePoilievre actually rise in the house and condemn lockdowns and ask when this will end 4) Premier Scott Moe (SK) announces he will end vaccine passports and covid restrictions 3/9
5) Premier Jason Kenney (AB) announces vaccine passports will end 6) Premier Francois Legault (QC) scraps the fine for those who are not vaccinated 7) @JustinTrudeau gives a hateful speech that is received poorly by Canadians, especially in law enforcement and military 4/9
8) Ottawa police and OPP confirm no incidents or arrests all weekend and that this was the most respectful crowd they have ever seen in the city 9) Globe and Mail says travel restrictions make no sense 5/9
10) Tucker Carlson, Real America's Voice, Hannity, Jack Posobiec, and many large international media orgs cover the convoy in-depth on a nearly hourly basis 11) Europeans prepare for a convoy on Brussels in 2 weeks 12) Australian convoy reaches their capital 6/9
13) Coutts, Alberta border is blockaded for days in solidarity with Ottawa 14) Ontario MPP Toby Barrett breaks rank with Premier Ford and speaks out in favour of truckers 7/9
15) Trudeau isolates, then flees capital, then tests positive, destroying the COVID science (he is triple vaxxed, has no symptoms) 16) Police stand down Sunday night, mounted units leave city, abandon plans for towing the trucks 8/9
What we are witnessing in Canada is without historic precedent. The grassroots mobilization of thousands of 'normal' Canadians in the face of unconstitutional tyranny has never been witnessed in a nation typically defined by its apathy and reluctance to make waves. 1/7
The convoy to Ottawa that has started in the West and starts in the East tomorrow is stronger than first anticipated. It's easy to project meaningless #'s, but when you see the send-off in BC and then Calgary this morning, it confirmed that we are on to something historic. 2/7
Overpasses filled with families, remote prairie intersections lined with salt-of-the-earth farmers and families, and truck stop parking lots packed to the gills with the working class - something has snapped in the Canadian psyche. 3/7
One year ago today, COVID-19 was declared a 'Pandemic.'
We had already seen the images of people collapsing on the streets of Wuhan, the headlines of cases skyrocketing globally, and the doomsday modelling if we didn't do something NOW. 1/13
Hindsight is 20/20 and we can all agree that COVID-19 is truly a fierce pandemic. A year later, we have witnessed a pandemic of fear-mongering, overdose, suicide, depression, loneliness, financial ruin, censorship, and social engineering of epic proportions. 2/13
This pandemic declaration unleashed the swiftest, tactical PR blitz we have ever seen. Time has a way of dulling our senses to change, even when it's extreme, yet subtle. 3/13
