Food by the Boxful

This food is important. It’s tangible, concrete evidence of tremendous grassroots support. While people bring food to community picnics, they don’t normally gather at truck stops in the dark, in the dead of winter, to feed total strangers. This behaviour alone makes the Freedom Convoy socially and historically significant.

Fireworks & Applause

Ted and Sally (not their real names) leave Saskatoon on Monday in a bobtail truck with two large Canadian flags streaming behind them. The side of their cab is decorated with red maple leaves and the words: “True North Strong & Free” – a phrase from Canada’s national anthem.

They head southeast toward the city of Regina. Normally a two-and-a-half-hour drive, this first leg of their journey is a piece of cake. The highway is called the Louis Riel Trail – named for a rebel hanged by the Canadian government in 1885. Viewed heroically by many then and now, considered a symbol of “strength and resistance,” 122 years after his death the next door province of Manitoba declared Louis Riel Day a paid holiday.

The climate con is reaching epidemic proportions

The climate has been changing for 4.5 billion years and it will keep on changing for the next 4.5 billion years. Climate change is not going away.

Another thing that isn’t going away is the Climate Change con. In fact, it’s escalating. If we, the people, don’t start pushing back on this monumental scam NOW, it may soon be too late. Ignore the BS in the Junk News media that is obviously ratcheting up the false alarm, with the clear intention of making the taste of the open prison life we endured during the scamdemic lockdowns permanent.

The New York Post recently published a piece by Marty Makary titled “10 myths told by Covid experts – and now debunked.” In the piece Makary, a medical doctor and professor at Johns Hopkins University, corrects several of the falsehoods that have been presented as fact for the past three years:
