The Canadians who stood up to tyranny: Thank You, Truckers! Book

Thank You, Truckers! Canada’s Heroes & Those Who Helped Them – the epic story of a crucially important moment in Canadian history – is now available. Meet 20 ordinary truckers from British Columbia to Nova Scotia (and many places in between) who drove to Ottawa in early 2022 as part of the grassroots, working class Freedom Convoy. Some were tear-gassed, pepper-sprayed, assaulted, and arrested. Some had their trucks vandalized and seized, their bank accounts frozen.

First came the truckers, then came those who helped. Support for this scrupulously peaceful protest poured in from all directions. A tsunami of supplies, equipment, and volunteers: fuel bootleggers, Manitoba Hutterites, mechanics, farmers, cooks and chefs. The mega donor from New Brunswick. The Quebec bouncy castle mama. The former Snowbird pilot. Unforgettable people, events, testimonies.

“If you’re feeling discouraged about Canada, this book will heal your heart,” says Donna Laframboise, veteran Canadian journalist and civil rights defender, who is a former National Post and Toronto Star columnist.

Each chapter in the book ends with a QR code linking readers directly to numerous colour photographs of the people and events described.

“Reading Thank You, Truckers! will allow Canadians to learn the untold stories of the Convoy; it is alarming how different was the on-the-ground story from the shamelessly propagandized, fear-mongering stories pushed by government and media,” writes Road Warrior News in an Op-Ed on the book.

Thank You, Truckers! is available as a paperback or e-book formats on Amazon everywhere. See it on Amazon Canada here.
