Please post your memories and thoughts on the Freedom Convoy and the Emergencies Act in the comments below. I hope this lifts some spirits!
For those who don’t subscribe yet to the podcast, here is a link to my epic conversation, nearly two hours, with Tamara Lich.
We were one of the very first to interview convoy leaders. Watch Coffee with the Convoy with Tamara and Chris Barber, still on the road, hitting Thunder Bay for the night on the way to Ottawa. Those were heady days.
The POEC shouldn’t have the last word. So I gave it back to them.
Stay critical.
Thanks for these. It is remarkable that you and I have a totally different take on the same event as legacy media who apparently only saw threat and terror. I'm not sure how this will ever be fixed. I will dive in to your posts tonight. Much appreciated.
About three days after the Convoy arrived in Ottawa, I decided to go downtown and have a look for myself. It was fairly early on a Sunday morning and it was freezing cold, but I was dressed for it. I walked and stopped and talked to many people. A mother of two, who wept about how the mandates had impacted her family and her young children, a local teacher who had decided to come and help the Convoy with their trash pick up operation, I met three strapping young men from Alberta carrying Canadian flags and shouting Freedom from the top of their lungs. As I was stopping to talk to them another man came along with his arm outstretched to give us all a group hug. It was amazing! It had already become a community. The police were friendly, and really had nothing more to do but stand around, as there was no illegal activities or violence to address. Just everyday people, doing something extraordinary.
