The people stepped up - and the politicians backed down
The truckers had been in Ottawa more than a week when the Canadian Covid Care Alliance tweeted out this short, marvelously edited video. It provides solid documentary evidence that Canadians supported the truckers.
Wildly and with enthusiasm. And not just in one region of the country. The truckers received rock star treatment everywhere they went. During those heady days, farm tractors rolled into provincial capitals, Alberta cowboys saddled up, and Canadian flags were flown from countless hockey sticks. No matter how distant their communities, individuals found ways to make their voices heard.
Michael Grandlouis is absolutely correct. The people stepped up - and the politicians backed down.
The Canadian Covid Care Alliance includes doctors, nurses, and scientists concerned about the top-down, government-mandated, one-size-fits-all approach to medical care that emerged during the COVID-19 pandemic. Visit their website here. Follow them on Twitter here.
Goes to show just how out of touch some Politicians and media really are.
