Gratitude by the Yard
The freedom wall in the office of an Ontario trucking company.
Decked out in oversized maple leaf flags with flashing lights and loud horns, the trucks of the Freedom Convoy were beacons of hope, piercing the darkness. As different arms of the convoy traveled across our land, Canadians instantly identified the people in these trucks as heroes.
The gratitude that filled hearts from coast to coast was expressed in myriad ways. Folks gathered on highway overpasses cheering, waving, holding up signs and banners. They donated food and cash. They delivered hand-written thank you cards, and multi-page letters.
During the first three minutes of the Unacceptable Views film we’re shown a wall in the lobby of Jonker Trucking, a small company in southern Ontario. I’ve seen that wall firsthand. Here are a couple of closeups:
In the letter below, attached to that wall, an 11-year-old says they’re “scared to go to school because I will get asked if I’m vaccinated or not." Rather than looking forward to their next birthday, this child knows a longer list of activities will be off limits once they turn 12.
“I would like my old life back,” they write, “so I can do the things that I used to without worrying about the vaccine rules.”
Governments did this. Health officials did this. Children were segregated, demoted to second-class citizens. Because their parents chose not to give them a medication that had no longterm safety data.
Kids were told they were dangerous to others. That they were unclean. That they were unworthy to enter public spaces - from restaurants, to hockey rinks, to dance recitals, to movie theatres.
