Thank you for this well written account of government overreach and police overreaction which has changed the political landscape in Canada and, unfortunately, the way many of us view the police going forward.

Thank you, B.J., for sharing your experiences as part of the Freedom Convoy. I could not believe either that the Canadian politicians were backing up blackface Trudeau on his spineless attack to the hardworking people. This is going to be remembered as one of the darkest days in Canadian history.

Thanks for everything you did, and continue to do. Very well written recollection of events. I'm so glad you don't have a gag order.

Some people wouldn't know what democracy was about even if it bit them in the butt, they already showed where they come from and espousing who and what they are, keep the peace rally going in ours hearts. I used to respect the police but I question who they are now, two of our family members' friends resigned or give up their training to be a police officer and I'm pretty sure on the violence they seen in Ottawa from law enforcements probably changed their minds. I won't say any further but I understand their decision, they picked up better couriers to go forward with even though they said the police officers they worked with were great, what happened in Ottawa

A short (one minute) video illustrating Trudeau's hypocrisy wrt the truckers' convoy. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QAlnrJDI5JI

It looks like Hungary in 1956, Czechoslovakia in 1968, and Poland in 1981.

Patriots who had the courage to stand up against dictatorship continue to be political prisoners with bogus criminal charges. Where are the charges against the traitor! Gov totalitarianism at work.

Subject: Fwd: What are you people doing?

Canada is in deep trouble as never before, Senators. 

Isn't it high time for the Governor-General to step in! Canada can't wait for its unsuspecting population to complain or react. The threat is real and must be dealt with immediately.

Our nation cannot be abandoned at the mercy of a disgraceful pathetic egomaniac yielding to corrupt global oligarchs.

To: All Federal Liberals and NDPers

NDP Members,

All Federal Liberals received the following email. Singh cozying up Trudeau again made you all complicit in the same treason, except for those of you (if any) who abstained like patriotic Canadians.

Ministers,

Do you crave the power that much to cavalierly dismiss your electors to continue supporting your mentally unstable boss! One so petty and imbecile as salivating his condemnation by world leaders! 

What kind of horrific future for Canadians are you helping the narcissist achieve! Don’t you see a dismal repeat of history with this unfit being! You do know the difference between right and wrong, right! 

Are you so drunk on power not to realize the damnation you’re putting on all of us and our future generations to please a narcissistic imbecile!

Do you think you’ll escape the NWO’s tyranny and their oligarchs’ wrath because you’re helping with the ‘solution’! “…2-3 million people need to disappear for life on earth to be sustainable…” or Klaus’ “…you’ll have nothing and be happy”, "...you'll obey or else", etc… What kind of life would that be! You don't want to collude with such an abyss, do you!

Please, Ministers! Be assertive and do dispose of the national embarrassment. Show Canadians and the world that you're capable of loyalty and human dignity.

BJ,

This was an epic protest, a quintessential Canadian "last stand". The world watched the Truckers drive across Canada, brave the cold, and stand up for our rights - peacefully. It broke the somber mood of the country and gave people hope. Who knew honking could be so powerful?

Thank you & bravo!

Proud to be on the right side of history

You were heroes, who forced our governments provincial and federal to re -think the vaccine mandates and other heavy handed restrictions not grounded in science. After two years of being governed by pseudo scientific bull shit the Freedom convoy stood up for all Canadians. Thank you B.J. and company for your bravery.

Thank you for sharing your experience. I woould like to correspond with you privately on a couple of matters, mainly with respect for a mean of going forward with the protests. This dictatorship needs to stop.

When Mr Trudeau stood up in the HoC and vilified the truckers, that was the proper time to leave the bureaucratic cesspool that Ottawa has become. It is my belief that the only means to change things is to lobby the back=benchers and if fail to recognize the harm done by the erosion of freedom, work with the voters to provide the persuasion that they see the light, to realize we will have no country if this continues.

I have an email address on gmail. It is seine44.

Finally, I have something I wrote that was inspired by truk horns honking on my blog.

I saw the letter, have a copy actually, that went out that faithful night, telling everyone to get out now that could, that Blackface had brought in the goons. I have defended the truth and knew that you didn't abandon your post. The issue for the Truckers were, you thought you were dealing with someone you could talk to, reason with, who would do what he said to other countries and to Canada. That he would talk with those who disagreed with him, he is a liar and nothing from his mouth could be trusted. He has been fully exposes, many like me, have been awakened from out slumber. In the first days of following the Convoy to Ottawa, life began to stir in me, life I hadn't seen in 2yrs, 2020 to Aug 2021 I spent in a hole, the deepest darkest pit... and when I heard Tamara speak, for the first time in 2022, HOPE rose up, FAITH rose up, that there would be an end to this hell. I rose every day with purpose & hope, would this be the day they meet. Tamara IS and always will be Our Canadian Hero! Along with all the faces, trucks, and people that went to Ottawa. I am fully awake, I am waking others who are waking others... a stone on a flat body of water sends out ripples and turns into a Tsunami.
