Freedom Convoy Update: Organizers stressing respect and drivers enjoying incredible Canadian hospitality on the way to Ottawa

Published

As the Freedom Convoy rolls into Ottawa, organizers are laying down the law on their fellow protestors.  No one knows how many trucks and how many people are a part of this convoy.  There has been a significant amount of concern that fringe groups will attach themselves to the convoy and perpetrate violence.  If they do, there’s a good chance their first resistance will come from the convoy participants.  Organizers have been emphasizing a respectful and peaceful visit to the nation’s capital.  This is the message they’ve posted and shared on their official web pages.

We cannot stress enough how important it is for everyone to do the following:

1. DO NOT enter any government building or government property under any circumstances.

2. Treat all police officers with respect. Front line police officers are already under significant pressure from powerful politicized individuals and local politicians. They are our fellow Canadians, and the police in regions like Peel defended us when they refused to enforce Doug Ford’s draconian Covid restrictions on citizens last year. Please do not put front line officers in a difficult position. Always be respectful, even if they issue you a citation. Just know that most of them are doing so under duress.

3. Keep calm. If you see individuals attempting to bait other truckers and attendees into conflict, report them to the police and our staff, or look to others around you to help with de-escalation. Sometimes it merely requires one calm head in a group to temper us all. Don’t hesitate to be the negotiator!

4. Do not make any type of threat. Threats lead to escalation, which could lead to violence. Please do your absolute best to stifle any aggressive rhetoric. As you know, the legacy media will be present and will use this as ammunition against our movement. Their business model is built on a strategy of destroying reputations. Do not help them profit from destroying your reputation.

If we keep calm and show love and support for one another, many things will happen. We will eventually cause the government to reverse its policy on Covid passports and vaccine mandates as the UK has recently done. We will meet new friends, develop relationships, and there will likely be people who meet during this peaceful protest and fall in love and build a life together. Let’s not sacrifice such a bright future for all of us by loosing our temper.

This is the first step in a long journey to a new golden age of freedom and understanding for one another. Let’s build that future together.

Many would be surprised at the overwhelming support Canadians have showed along the entire route.  At every stop, the participants are experiencing incredible hospitality.  This was the experience of Mirror, Alberta’s Chris Scott and his traveling companions as they stopped for a break in Blind River, Ontario Friday afternoon.

 

The following video was posted by Tamara Lich an organizer of the Freedom Convoy.  This is from an emotional stop in Ontario on Friday where convoy participants were showered with kindness in the form of food, treats, and emotional support.

The cause as posted on the GoFundMe platform (currently at 7.7 million dollars raised)

To our Fellow Canadians, the time for political over reach is over.  Our current government is implementing rules and mandates that are destroying the foundation of our businesses, industries and livelihoods.  Canadians have been integral to the fabric of humanity in many ways that have shaped the planet.

We are a peaceful country that has helped protect nations across the globe from tyrannical governments who oppressed their people, and now it seems it is happening here. We are taking our fight to the doorsteps of our Federal Government and demanding that they cease all mandates against its people. Small businesses are being destroyed, homes are being destroyed, and people are being mistreated and denied fundamental necessities to survive. It’s our duty as Canadians to put an end to this mandates.  It is imperative that this happens because if we don’t our country will no longer be the country we have come to love.  We are doing this for our future Generations and to regain our lives back.
