Message from the Centre of Canada
Beauty queen among those who cheered truckers on the prairies.
Laura Lynn Tyler Thompson, an independent Christian media personality, traveled with the Freedom Convoy from its beginnings in temperate British Columbia. Thirty kilometers (20 miles) east of Manitoba’s provincial legislature, she met Tressa Lemky, a former beauty queen and fashion model.
The rendezvous took place near the Centre of Canada Park, located on the Trans-Canada Highway. By then Tressa had spent four hours in the cold, applauding the truckers and talking to fellow Canadians who were doing likewise. Near the 6-minute mark in Laura Lynn’s video (above), Tressa says:
Me and my girlfriends…we are here for our children, our grandchildren. We are here because people need to know that ‘Enough is enough.’ And the first person that I interviewed four hours ago…the first three people that I interviewed, are vaccinated.
And I said ‘You are?’
They’re like, ‘Yes, and this is insane.’
They want freedom.
The fact that many Canadians willingly took COVID vaccines doesn’t alter the fact that many others were coerced into doing so, and that others were punished with the loss of their careers after declining these shots.
As a sign held by a convoy supporter at the 1-minute mark of this video reads: “Coercion is illegal. Coercion is not consent.”
When an otherwise civilized nation forces medical treatments onto unwilling human beings, citizens with a conscience stand out in the cold at the Centre of Canada and cheer on truckers.
It really does all come down to the fact that many, many Canadians support, continue to support, forced vaccinations. As you say, a civilized society doesn't do this sort of thing, and those Canadians who did and still do support it will carry the burden of shame forever. A voluntary program with fully informed consent would have been the best choice, and likely - my opinion of course - would have led to a majority of Canadians getting the shots anyway.
