Making an Entrance
Dump trucks, utility trucks, pickups, SUVs. Everyone's joined the Convoy.

It’s Saturday morning, and it’s minus 31 Celsius. Ted and Sally have caught up to - and rejoined - the Freedom Convoy. They’re on Highway 417, heading into Ottawa. Under normal driving conditions, they’d reach Parliament Hill in half an hour. But the highway is packed with thousands of big rigs, plus thousands more private vehicles. Half the country, it seems, is heading to Ottawa.
There are well wishers on the shoulders, and masses of people on every overpass. The number of Canadian flags easily surpasses a typical July 1st, Canada Day celebration. While the overall mood is festive, there’s grumbling on the trucker radio about ‘four-wheelers’ inserting themselves into the same lane as the massive trucks, raising safety concerns. “The fours are killing us,” someone complains.
Perhaps due to the sheer volume of people pouring into the nation’s capital, cell service is patchy. The video that Sally’s livestreaming blurs, stutters, and pixelates several times before ending abruptly. Here are a few stills from the footage she manages to capture:

you made me cry -- again!
Wow - when I review 1 plus 3 weeks of a combination Canadian love fest and protest against Government overreaching / mandated policies and the 11 day French Revolution 2 occurring presently in France and then I compare some of the under oath statements of Some of Canada’s Cabinet Members who were involved with dealing with the “3 Week OCCUPATION OF CANADA’S TIANAMEN SQUARE” such as David LAMETTI who claimed to to have such fear for his safety because of the degree of violence he felt that the truckers and protest supporters presented to his safety required him to be escorted by armed RCMP cops to and from his hotel daily for the first week until he fled out of the Capital and went into hiding in Quebec! Has anyone heard yet of French police mounted on horse stampeding packed crowds trampling senior women with walkers, freezing their bank accounts by utilizing the power of invoking the EMA Powers for the first time since 1988. This is all the results of Tyrannical Governments that do not understand the true meaning of the words Democracy versus Communistic Governments!
