I'm working on a big story this morning but wanted to thank you all so very much.

These are times we must all dig in an work to save the country. The PP meeting in Toronto the other night tells me we might have phenomenon we've seen before where the polls get it wrong. Not mentioning any American names:)

Trish, Like you I feel and fear the threat that Carney poses. And like you, I very much feel the same way you felt, and I felt as the months of COVID restrictions and mandates seemed never ending. Like we were trapped in a nightmare that would never end, with no help on the horizon, until the Freedom Convoy arrived. I was just re-reading Rodney Palmer's Forward in Ray McGinnis's book on the Convoy and the POEC, Unjustified and it actually sent shivers down my spine in terms of what our media and government did to them, this set of quotes in particular:

"When our Prime Minister called called the truckers' peaceful labour protest a radical occupation, and our news media repeated it with glee -- we lost our democracy. We were left with liar controlling our thoughts. This is Canada's current political reality... The entire affair wreaked of totalitarian, military and dictatorial nations... This leaves us with a facade of democracy, long after it was effectively killed by those who euthanized journalism."

This is what we are up against in this election campaign. Today, independent pod casters following the campaigns noted that Carney, in Newfoundland locked lobster fishermen out of his rally (of 200 people). Police were actually at the locked doors to ensure they didn't try to enter. They were there to protest and talk about limits Fisheries had put on their harvests. I wonder if we will see any of that on CBC, CTV or Global News today? Anyhow I got a refund bonus today for a mistake a Farm Boy deli made on overcharging me for my luncheon meat. So that can go towards this campaign you are launching. All the best. I guess I will probably see you on April 3 for verdict at Tamara's and Chris's case.
