Grassroots in Kamloops

Just ordinary people. Applauding the truckers, wanting to be heard.

As the Freedom Convoy made its way across the country, it was greeted by thousands of supporters in numerous communities. The above video is one of the earliest gatherings I’ve seen. It was shot from a vehicle by Laura Lynn Thompson Tyler, as the beginnings of the convoy drove through Kamloops, British Columbia on Sunday, January 23rd.

The video shows hundreds standing on the side of the Trans Canada Highway near Valleyview Square Shopping Mall. There are kids and seniors. There are dogs, flags, and handmade signs.

The signs say things such as:

  • Thank you truckers

  • We support the truckers

  • Truckers for our freedom

  • Freedom of choice

  • We stand for freedom

  • No mandates

  • Stop the mandate

  • End the mandates!

  • Mandate freedom

  • Let me call my own shots

  • Take back freedom

  • Free Canada

  • Protect our freedom

  • Free and brave!

  • No fear

  • This ends when we all say no!

There are hearts on some of these signs. And phrases from our national athem. And unflattering references to Canada’s Prime Minister.

Just ordinary people. Expressing their concerns. Just ordinary people wanting to be heard.
