Convoy lawyer Brendan Miller’s fight to gain access to unredacted documents from senior political staff provided immediate results yesterday.

Public Safety Minister Marco Mendicino was surprised with a written record of notes which indicated the Canadian Security and Intelligency Service (CSIS) did not believe the Freedom Convoy met the standard required by Section Two of the CSIS Act, a requirement for invoking the Emergencies Act.

Don Taylor’s “Stories from the Road” available on Audible – make Christmas shopping easy

November 20, 2022 RWN Staff

Don Taylor’s book “Stories from the Road” is officially now available on Audible.

The stories – which are in turn hilarious, absorbing and shocking – got started as stories told around a campfire during fun times with family and friends. So many friends urged Taylor to write them down, eventually he did. The result is a fun, interesting book which was easy to read, but now even easier to listen to as the audio version has just been released on Audible.

Wrap your hands around a steering wheel, or a copy of the Canadian constitution: the choice is yours

November 13, 2022 Mike Murchison

I have heard the term “segregation” my whole life; I never fully identified with it until I was refused use of washrooms in truck stops in Northern Ontario, or made to stand out in the cold at a drive-through window at a fast-food joint. Standing in the drive-through lane with cars, I felt very out of place. Segregated.

For a while, certain places wouldn’t handle my cash because I travel for a living. Restaurants closed, or downsized to “take-out only” service. I was eating out of paper bags while working and sleeping for days on the road: in the summer heat, and frigid cold of winter.
