AUTHOR NOTE: When I initially published this material about Jake & Lynnette, trucker & wife from Saskatoon, they were out-of-the-country.

Separate arms of the Freedom Convoy left the Windsor and Niagara regions early Thursday, January 27th. Cheered on by packed highway overpasses, many of these truckers had already settled in for the night in Kingston before Ted and Sally made it to Cochrane.
Convoy trucks also hit the road Thursday morning in the Maritimes, on Canada’s east coast. Members of the public gathered at 7 am near the Halifax airport to applaud their own, Ottawa-bound heroes. I wrote about that below:

... and meanwhile in Ottawa, the 'vaxed-up' coward uses 'the vid' again as an excuse to run and hide (quarantine) from another situation that requires real leadership.
