Tom Marazzo, former member of the Canadian Armed Forces and key supporter of the Freedom Convoy in 2022, is launching his own podcast today. His first guest is Kristen Nagle of Canada’s Frontline Nurses.
“In January 2022, Canadians put our livelihoods on the line and trucked across our country in the bitter cold, to uphold the Rights and Freedoms of ALL Canadians, because of unreasonable mandates being imposed by our Federal and Provincial governments. Mandates that violate: The Constitution of Canada, Our Charter of Rights and Freedoms, The Privacy Act, The Nuremberg Code, and multiple others,” Marazzo writes.

The new Gordie Howe Bridge between Windsor and Detroit is expected to open at the end of 2024, and is using a “dual design” apect.
“’Dual design’” means that it’s meeting the design specifications of both Canada and the US. If there’s ever a conflict between the design specifications, we go with the higher of the two specifications,” Heather Grondin told a packed room at the Hamilton Waterfront Centre on May 4th.
Grondin is the vice president of the Windsor-Detroit Bridge Authority and was invited to address the the Hamilton Transportation Club (HTC), which has resumed meeting after a two year COVID hiatus.

Charges have been dropped against 14 Freedom Convoy truckers who participated in the Coutts, Alberta protest last year.
In February 2022, protesters blocked the Canada-US border in Coutts to protest Covid-19 restrictions like vaccine mandates. The demonstration lasted around two weeks until the RCMP discovered weapons after executing a search warrant.
Fourteen truckers were charged with parking violations, but all were exonerated after The Democracy Fund’s (TDF) lawyer pointed out that the law in question did not apply to vehicles parked in an urban area.

TORONTO, ON – Mayoral candidate Rob Davis – Toronto’s first Black city councillor and a three-term council member – today called on the city’s civic organizations and media to ensure equitable access to debate platform exposure on a wide range of issues.
“Toronto has a diverse population with wide-ranging interests and priorities. For democracy to thrive, it’s important that our public discourse affords equitable exposure to ideas from candidates reflecting the regions and communities that make up our city – and not just ideas from perceived front-runners,” said Davis.
Davis issued the call after the Toronto Region Board of Trade and TVO informed candidates of a restrictive format for their May 25th debate that gives an unfair advantage to sitting councillors and other candidates who have high name recognition in the early stages of the campaign.
