Alberta resident launched powerful support network for Freedom Convoy participants in Ottawa

After hearing non-truckers were welcome to join the convoy, she filled her 26-foot camper trailer/caravan with “food, medical supplies, water, dog food and warm bedding” and, towing it behind her, got on the road. An Alberta couple she met while stopping for the night in Saskatchewan told her they’d “lost everything over the last eighteen months” due to COVID vaccine mandates. They viewed the convoy as their last chance to regain their employment, and were sleeping in their vehicle in -35C weather as they drove across the country. Michelle invited them into her camper and reports that, “by the time we reached Ottawa, there were up to seven people sleeping in my camper every night.”

Jordan Peterson Sets Up ‘Pro-Human’ Alternative to Globalist-Corporatist World Economic Forum

Professor of psychology and public speaker Jordan Peterson has announced the formation of an international consortium that would serve as a kind of populist alternative to the elitist World Economic Forum (WEF) and provide a countervailing force against globalist aims and narratives.

Peterson laid out his plan in an appearance on Joe Rogan’s podcast, telling him that an inaugural event of the group is being planned for the cusp of October/November 2023 in London.

Around 2,000 business, cultural, and political figures will be invited to take part in the consortium, he said, adding that he wants the discussions open to the public and membership in the organization to be as broad as possible.

If these 10 groups had done their jobs, the Truckers’ protest would not have been necessary

It was dirty job, but somebody had to do it.

The only reason Truckers needed to take to the streets of Ottawa one year ago to protest Canada’s vaccine mandates was because the groups who actually get paid to oppose government bailed completely on their jobs.

Here is a list of well-established, well-organized, well-spoken, well-funded professional groups whose purpose on this planet is to speak truth to power. Remember, had any of these groups done the job they get paid to do (mostly by taxpayers) there would have been no need for the Truckers to spend their own money driving across the nation to protest in Ottawa.

Letters of gratitude to Freedom Convoy Truckers preserved in kids’ book by Donna Laframboise

There were lots of grandfathers and grandmothers at the Freedom Convoy in Ottawa last January.

Author Donna LaFramboise wants Canadians to know their stories, and so her book/website project “Opa’s Convoy Letters” was born: “I want to make sure kids know: whatever else you might have heard, when your grandfather went to went to Ottawa, people told him he was a hero.”
