When the truckers convoy was met with such an outpouring of love and support from all over Canada, it was the first time in two years that I had a glimmer of hope that the endless lockdown/masking/coerced injection nightmare was about to end.

We felt an incredible sense of elation as we saw the videos of people gathering at highways and overpasses with their flags. I had friends go to the overpasses near Hamilton and Burlington and they were astonished and buoyed by all the support from crowds that stood together in -10 and -20C temperatures to cheer on the convoy.

And then grassroots Canadians started pouring into Ottawa to see for themselves. My friend from St George, a gym owner was one. He drove the six hours to take part in the protest-turned-winter festival on the second weekend. His verdict:

It was incredible to be there. The feeling was that of your favorite hockey team winning the Stanley Cup 10-0. But when I got home and saw media coverage, it was like your team had lost the cup 10-0.

I don’t want to end on a sour note, but it’s going to take a lot of work by freedom-loving Canadians to oppose the creepy authoritarians in our federal government and their media cheerleaders.

I watched from Montana and prayed that no violence would break out. I was dumbfounded by the schizophrenia I witnessed by switching from internet coverage to main stream media. As important as it is to tell the story of the hope, good will, comradery, and devotion to the groups efforts we have to let some of the light shine on the thuggery of the government. Keep the focus on the good and let the contrast tell its story as well.

Donna- You have chosen well.
