Thank you Freedom Convoy, for all your efforts. FYI: Here is the letter I sent to my MP. Laurel Collins (NDP) on Feb. 16 to support the cause. I laboured over it. I wanted my voice to be heard from way out on the West coast. I received an automated response that it had been received. I received nothing more; not even a form letter.
Dear Ms. Collins,
I am a 69-year-old retired healthcare professional living in Victoria. I have never contacted my MP before, but I am now. I did not vote for you and, in fact, I explained at length why, when you came to my door last Fall before the election. Although I have voted for the NDP in the past, I cannot support its current iteration under Jagmeet Singh and your party's current support for the Liberal's misguided actions with respect to the trucker protest in Ottawa.
The NDP traditionally has supported the working class but your party has lost the plot. I see the contempt, disgust and loathing from the ruling class, directed towards these hard-working people who do all the heavy lifting in this country. These are people who have useful skills that keep the economy functioning. They may be rough around the edges but they are the people that I want around in an emergency. They know how to get things done. They are much smarter than the university educated, upper-middle class, “fancy” people give them credit for. I am deeply disturbed by the rampant classism being demonstrated by the elites (including the champagne socialists in the NDP) who haven’t suffered in any meaningful way during the pandemic while nodding through their Zoom calls and collecting their pay cheques. Have these people lost their humanity for all the people of this country who do the dirty work that makes their lives so comfortable?
I have been watching in horror and extreme sadness at the complete destruction of my country by the Liberals under Justin Trudeau who have been propped up repeatedly by the NDP.
I have watched Jagmeet Singh saying he supports the Emergencies Act and the use of the military while also claiming he wants to see people be safe and not lose their jobs. By almost all standards the protest in Ottawa has been peaceful and joyous. The truckers are breaking the most basic of municipal laws. Things like protesting without a permit and parking illegally. They are the ones who have lost their jobs along with many others and they are arguably the only people who are not “safe” in this country at the moment. Their safety is being threatened by the government.
I have watched dozens of hours of livestreaming on the ground in Ottawa, read dozens of opinion pieces on all sides and listened to endless misrepresentations by the legacy media. I am not a low information citizen. Please don’t insult me by assuming that I don’t know what I am talking about and, therefore, don’t matter. I have watched the people in downtown Ottawa greet and hug each other and sing and dance. I have been bought to tears by realizing how truly starved we are for the hope, joy and human contact that has been taken away from us through the last 2 years.
It didn’t have to be this way. Many mistakes were made and poor policies rolled out that need to be stopped NOW because they do not work and that should NEVER be allowed to be repeated. We have been crushed as a people. The damage done will last a lifetime if not more. The damage to school-aged children has been particularly abhorrent. Yet I suspect that the experts will never acknowledge this or apologize and promise to do better. (I am in a position to opine on this. I have spent many hours every day, while (mostly) confined to my house for two years, researching all the ins and outs of this pandemic. I know how to read research papers. When I don’t understand, I know where to go to get further information. I know how to weed out the wheat from the chaff. I am a relentless researcher.)
Enacting the Emergencies Act is the political power grab of a naïve, arrogant, entitled man-child who can’t get his way. The border blockades have ended. There is no threat to the country. The truckers only want their grievances to be heard, but Justin Trudeau refuses to talk to them. That should have been the first step to de-escalate the situation. Instead, Justin Trudeau went for the nuclear option rather than deal with the working class, “unwashed” masses who hold “unacceptable views”. His disdain for these people will not be forgotten. He is not a leader but a divider who your party is supporting. How can you justify this?
I am asking you to vote against enacting this unnecessary, divisive and dangerous law. Voting for it makes you complicit in unknown damage to this country. Canada is a place with wonderful people and so much potential that could be thrown away in the days to come because of thoughtless, incompetent leadership. Don’t be on the wrong side of history. There are more productive ways to solve this impasse. I am asking you to speak up for and support them.
Thank you! Thank you! More than anything the Freedom Convoy revealed, and educated us all, on our political system, policing system, and banking system.
It appeared that the legitimate protesters were peaceful, in contrast the violence was committed by police and government forces. Of course Ottawa residents living within the protest environs were mostly members of the “laptop” class, who obviously would find honking distracting whilst working from the comfort of their their home offices.
What this protest uncovered was the disparity between the blue collar workers like truckers and farmers who give us the goods and services we need vs the white collar elites who had the luxury of working from home without sacrificing income and benefits.
And the over-reach of the governments is only one facet of the story. Read and watch this to see a part of the story of the suppression of Ivermectin, which, as an available, safe and effective therapeutic, would have disqualified the use of Emergency Use Authorizations for inadequately and incompletely tested drugs (Remdesivir) and 'vaccines' (the mRNA formulations).
Thank you all for what you have accomplished for everyone - The biggest gift was hope and opening everyones eyes to just what was behind al the corruption and lies.....
I watched a 2016 documentary by Oliver Stone last night, called "Ukraine on Fire". It is a must-see for all of us engaged in peaceful protests for our freedom. It reveals how the powers that be turn protests violent, plot to overthrow gov'ts for their elite agendas, thru MSM fake news.
Thank you to everyone who participated and for their sacrifice as their actions caused a reaction from Trudeau and his gang that has to have confirmed to even the most apathetic Canadian what the real agenda is for our Federal Government and how far they will go to stomp out opposition as none of their agenda planned is for the good of Canada and its citizens! I never thought I would say "Thank God for our Senate" as their opposition to the EMA along with pressures from the Banking Industry worldwide is the only reason Trudeau backed down when he did! The images broadcast world wide of the actions taken by the Liberals against these protestors by using the Police in the fashion that they did along with horses, should never be forgotten by all Canadians, as it brings back too many memories of what happened in Tiananmen Square thirty years ago this month when the might of an Oppressive Government was used against its own citizens for nothing more than standing up for their rights and so called freedoms! Funny how that Oppressive Government in China is one that our Prime Minister so openly has admiration for!!
Nothing was burned. No stores were looted. No monuments were taken down or defaced. No one was beaten...by the protesters.
It may have been a bit less expensive if the government reps went out and talked to the protesters, or invited their representatives inside to resolve the issues. Or maybe talked to them before they started protesting.
You guys helped changed the narrative. It took courage to do and you did it. G-d bless! The fight is just beginning. Many Canadians are seeing tyranny for the first time. Whether you are for vaccines or against them or any other restriction, the attempt of our government to silence us was deafening and very revealing.
I'll be brief and to the point, thank you truckers and all got involved and supported them and shame on all the politicians, main stream news and the police for their disrespectful, immature and inconsiderate childishness . The protesters showed more respect and adults than the ones that are suppose to be grown ups, the video footage showed it all and I feel bad for the children who seen it but they learned not to be like the immature authorities , even they know what is right and wrong, so it was a learning lesson for them the hard way
Thank you for awakening so many people and countries with the Freedom Convoy!! To see how it united Canadians was beautiful. Also numerous beautiful Canadian flags on display at the PEACEFUL protest. The Freedom Convoy revealed the true colors of our political leaders, who should be ashamed of themselves voting for the Emergency Measures Act. That in itself was a huge win for Canadians to think about when voting in the next election. My heart goes out to Tamara who is the last person who looks like a danger to society. I wrote many times to the BC Premier, Health Minister and Bonnie Henry re recognizing natural immunity or health issues. They were NOT following any REAL science and still are not. Thank you to all Freedom Convoy leaders and participants.
I appreciate all the sacrifice and all you've done. You have one more goal. Remove Trudeau. Once a man proves himself a dictator, he can never be trusted. He must be removed. From my end, I will hound him forever; he will never have a peaceful day.
Hey there! Thank you guys for everything, for all your efforts.
I know I'm posting this question a few months after the protests ended... but I know that bank accounts were frozen, and I imagine charges are being pressed.
The money I gave to the Convoy fund over Give Send Go was refunded a few weeks ago.
Where can I give to support those who are still facing persecution (legal, financial, or otherwise) for taking part in the Convoy??

Outstanding..!! Thank you all who organized and participated in this True Coming Together of ALL FREEDOM LOVING CANADIANS....
And the over-reach of the governments is only one facet of the story.

Thank's for this honest and factual reporting. The details will go down in history for future citizens to remember to stand up for FREEDOM.
