My God how my hope soared and despair dissipated. From fear and feeling utterly alone, these heroes took to the road on behalf of EVERY Canadian - whether they can recognize that or not. There are many honest, HONOURABLE and very intelligent people in Canada, and it would seem that those qualities are in short supply in Ottawa.

Me three. Seeing overpasses packed with flag-waving supporters still chokes me up.

It felt like the Berlin Wall coming down.

HONK HONK FROM OTTAWA! LOVE IT! Except that Dee Snyder pushed the jabs and asked people not use his song for "anti-vax" protests. I was here cooking food for hundreds. If anyone who was there remembers sheet pan sized chocolate energy bars full of good stuff, that was us. As we see what is happening in Europe with the farmers protesting in Germany and becoming the largest party in the Netherlands, our protest was highly effective, one of the most successful in all of history, and hands down the most peaceful friendly loving cool protest ever. This was Canada's shining moment and we stepped up and got it done.

It was during this time I came up with the concept of coincidism, describing people who blame medical harm on coincidence. Coincidism is a filthy thing that goes right along with fascism and communism. We counter coincidism not only with solid science and common sense, but also with creativity, humor and love. I think the Jerry cans is the best example ever, with hundreds and hundreds of people walking around with them to mock the system. They can't counter that. We win!

One of the most successful in history indeed. And yet history is not likely to be recorded in such a way. But anyone with a heart who was watching this unfold knows what happened. All objectives achieved peacefully...by the protesters, that is. Thank you for your part! It meant so much to so many of us.

We have some rough road ahead of us but we will write the history, not them. Heroes will be known as heroes and villains will be remembered as villains.

Dee Snyder...another sellout, a stalwart story-telling Drag Queen doing his part to normalize perversion and rebellion. Kindaliked some of his mysic though...my bad.

'Coincidism'. Yes - a new ideology!

Don't forget to add the 'sniffles' - a wholly new take on the flu best served with a tinge of genetic malice. Or the 'baffles' - a throughly collective absence of responsible medical practice best served with a tinge of moral culpability.

Yes, those words definitely took on extra meaning these last few years. I am compiling a compendium of the quips for a future stack and these will be in there.

The truckers were the only group in Canada who first came to their senses and then did something about it. The medical profession still has its head up its arse. Sadly they still need our support. Tamara Lych and Pat King are being put through the legal grinder and the Couts 4 have been in custody without bail for 600+ days.

I was glued to my laptop the whole time. I had never felt such a range of powerful emotions in my life. I can only imagine what it would have been like in person. I don't normally post a lot on FB, but during the convoy I was posting several times a day! Lost a few friends in the process.. 🤷‍♀️

We were compelled to go after watching the live streams and then watching the lying MSM. I had to say it with my own eyes. Thank God I did. It was then I truly realized what we are facing. I can't even put into words the intensity of the emotion we felt! It was life changing!!! I don't have a single family member that I still speak to after this disaster that has been the last 4 years, but I have also gained so much! We have a soul family now. As my mother always said, "you can pick your friends, but not your family." However, we can choose who we want to move forward with in this epic battle for humanity!!!

"Soul family" Love that! So true! I've always been the black sheep in my family, so not much has changed... stopped vaccinating my first born back in the 80's, had home births, homeschooled, etc.

But man oh man, did I find my soul family!

I think it's long past that time buddy! I'm so fucking tired of this shit, seems like a really bad dream. How did we get to the point that there seems no way to stop the demolition of Canada and the rapid siphoning of our wealth. The CPC is just shooting blanks and gets sneered at by all of the other parties. Who can we find that is actually able to make a difference, how do we make our voices heard? I'm open to suggestions

What are the chances there will be a question period at Tucker's events? It would be great to get Danielle on record as well as get more national / international attention through Tucker

Expand full comment

I must say. I'm so proud of myself for sending all our convoy info, charter of rights and our constitution to Tucker Carlson at Fox. It was well worth getting permanently banned from fakebook and. I am still under investigation by the canadian govt for doing so..so worth it !!!

The Trucker' Freedom Convoy will be, by far, the greatest event in Canadian history!! When, WE THE PEOPLE, stood up and said no more!! Why are we still putting up with so much bullshit?? Carbon taxes, high income tax, climate change fear porn, just to name a few. Would love to see a Convoy for each of these!!

I still cry. I live in Ottawa, and when it came to that point where I knew there was a protest coming, too big to simply be denied or ignored, it was the answer to a prayer that after what had amounted to 2 years in solitary confinement, I'd got past being able to even pray for.

Yeah, lots of days it does feel like a Round 2 will be needed at some point.

So utterly proud of each and everybody of those who participated and showed up to support them…made me Proud to be Canadian again.
