Freedom Convoy organizer testifies about 'power struggle' inside the anti-mandate movement
Saskatchewan trucker Chris Barber talks about clashes between convoy factions
Barber, a Saskatchewan trucker and small business owner, testified at the Public Order Emergency Commission (POEC) investigating the convoy that he and Brigitte Belton, an unvaccinated Alberta trucker, were the first to pitch a cross-country drive to protest a vaccine mandate for cross-border workers.
Tamara Lich, a former Western Canadian separatist, then joined the team to help organize the trek.
This trio then "organically" aligned with other groups also keen to take on the Liberal government and its COVID-19 policies, Barber said.
A self-described "internet troll," Barber said he connected with these disparate groups through social media platforms such as TikTok — where he has tens of thousands of followers who flocked to his account during the worst of the pandemic as he attacked COVID-related policies.
"The word started to spread. It was completely organic — everything just fell right into place," Barber said. "A bunch of different groups came together and had input in the planning."
The result was a "power struggle" between his group of mostly Western Canadian truckers and other elements like Canada Unity, an outfit opposed to mask mandates and vaccine passports. Canada Unity produced a memorandum of understanding (MOU) calling for the overthrow of the Liberal government.
The group's founder, James Bauder, called for Prime Minister Justin Trudeau to be arrested and "charged with treason."
Barber said he never actually read the MOU and didn't support a movement to seize power in Ottawa.
"I believe I just ignored it. I have no clue what's in the document. I wasn't into that sort of thing," Barber said.
Barber said that had he known at the outset that Bauder and his organization would join the convoy while calling for the government's overthrow, he would have "promptly told them to go home."
Barber, who testified that he is vaccinated, said he only came to Ottawa to protest border restrictions — policies he said hurt his business because he employed unvaccinated drivers who couldn't travel to the U.S.
"I remember calling on Mr. Bauder and having him renounce the MOU part of the way through the convoy," Barber testified.
"There was too much highlight, too much spotlight on this document that we didn't have anything to do with."
"We had a little bit of conflict between Canada Unity and Taking Back Our Freedoms," he said, referring to a group led by former Newfoundland and Labrador premier Brian Peckford.

Barber said he also occasionally clashed with Pat King, a far-right organizer with a history of incendiary social media posts.
King, who amassed a large following on Facebook, encouraged people to flock to Ottawa to join the movement.
"Pat and I had a power struggle between each other — that was evident. It was a power struggle back and forth over control," Barber said.
Barber said the original convoy organizers felt "some concern" when the media reported on King's previous violent and racist comments. While he said he was bothered by some of the bad headlines King's comments had generated, Barber added he never actually asked King to leave the convoy.
Text messages tabled at the commission Tuesday show the convoy organizers were worried about losing King-aligned supporters if he was removed.
On Jan. 22, Lich told Barber they needed to have "a very frank discussion" with King. But Lich also said the anti-mandate movement needed King.
"We need him and I don't care about his past but it only takes one," she said. "We have to control his rhetoric. Not even threatening to throw snowballs at the parliament (sic)."
"I know he's had issues. I've got skeletons in the closet to (sic)," Barber replied.
Freeland received a death threat
Barber testified that all he wanted was a peaceful protest against mandates he perceived as unfair.
But Andrew Gibbs, the government of Canada's lawyer, tabled documents before the commission that showed the Barber-Lich faction disseminated "daily event and safety report" flyers to their contingent offering questionable information about Deputy Prime Minister Chrystia Freeland and her association with the World Economic Forum (WEF).
The WEF has been the focus of multiple bogus conspiracy theories throughout the pandemic.
The day after one flyer about Freeland was distributed among some in the convoy, she received a death threat from someone named "Larry Jenkins."
Jenkins said Freeland would "get a bullet to the head" for "lying about COVID-19."
That same day, police arrested a man in Ottawa who was wearing body armour and carrying a large knife and several smaller knives.
"Would you agree with me that when you start a fire and fan the flames, it can get out of control?" Gibbs asked.

Barber said he "unequivocally" denounces such violent threats.
He said he played no role in writing the flyers that cited Freeland and the WEF.
"I was purely here for the mandates. My job was truck safety, truck issues, making sure everyone was looked after. My main job was working with law enforcement," Barber said, speaking of his role as liaison with police who were trying to maintain order.
Barber also was forced to account Tuesday for his past anti-Muslim and racist social media posts. He's also previously displayed a Confederate flag — a holdover from the U.S. Civil War that is often associated with racist and far-right elements — in his truck shop.
Barber said he's a changed man.
"I can honestly say that if anyone learned anything or grew during the convoy, it was me. I was a different person nine months ago. Coming out here and seeing the amount of love, all different colours, all different races ... it changed me," he said.
Barber said he also struggled to control a contingent of French-speaking protesters who set up at the intersection of Rideau and Sussex streets near Ottawa's Chateau Laurier hotel.
This group was known to have rowdy parties late into the night with a DJ playing music from a makeshift stage only a stone's throw from the Prime Minister's Office.
Barber said these protesters, most of whom came from Quebec, wouldn't agree to his demand to make room for emergency vehicles to move through the core.
Steeve Charland — a spokesperson for a group called Les Farfadaas, a name that roughly translates to "elf" or "leprechaun" in English — testified under oath Tuesday that his outfit was not behind this occupation.
But documents presented at the commission show police intelligence had identified the group as the French-speaking demonstrators at Rideau and Sussex.

Order Emergency Commission hearings, Tuesday, Nov. 1, 2022 in Ottawa. (Adrian Wyld/Canadian Press)
Police described Les Farfadaas as an "anti-government, quasi-separatist" group opposed to public health measures. They were also identified as the group least cooperative with law enforcement.
Charland said he and his followers came to Ottawa to protest COVID-19 measures that had upended daily life.
"We want to be finally heard as a people," he said.
Charland was formerly a member of La Meute, French for "The Wolf Pack," an anti-immigrant, anti-Islam group.
ABOUT THE AUTHOR
'Power struggle' made it hard to manage 'Freedom Convoy,' inquiry hears
OTTAWA — The "Freedom Convoy" protest that gridlocked downtown Ottawa for weeks last winter was a leaderless movement that saw power struggles among its key organizers, a public inquiry heard Tuesday.
Organizers Chris Barber and Brigitte Belton said they connected on TikTok and sprouted an idea to organize a protest against federal COVID-19 vaccine mandates for cross-border truck drivers.
The two assembled a loose group of core organizers, including controversial figure Pat King, and within two weeks, thousands of trucks were wheeling towards Ottawa. It "exploded overnight," Belton said.
But tensions arose quickly. With no official leader, Barber said rifts among organizers became apparent even before protesters arrived in Ottawa in late January: "It was a power struggle a lot of the time."
Barber and Belton were among the first organizers to testify at the Public Order Emergency Commission, which is examining the federal government's invocation of emergency powers in mid-February to clear what had become a weeks-long occupation of downtown Ottawa.
Ottawa residents, business associations, officials and police have already testified at public hearings, which are set to continue until Nov. 25 and culminate with testimony from federal leaders including Prime Minister Justin Trudeau.
The public viewing gallery was lively Tuesday, with Justice Paul Rouleau threatening to close proceedings off from in-person spectators if they wouldn't agree to treat the inquiry like a courtroom.
Barber, who runs his own trucking company in Swift Current, Sask., earned applause upon his arrival. The self-described internet "troll" has admitted to posting racist memes online and displaying Confederate flags, though he said the flags are now stored in his garage.
He was arrested Feb. 17 and charged with mischief, obstructing police, and counselling others to commit mischief and intimidation. He is co-accused with fellow organizer Tamara Lich, and their trial is expected to take place next year.
Barber distanced himself from other organizers of the protest during his testimony and made it clear that groups involved in the convoy were there for different reasons. He said that the Ottawa crowd was not affiliated with those who were inspired to organize cross-border blockades elsewhere in the country.
It was clear that Belton, too, saw tensions among the organizers. In a TikTok video shown to the commission, she raised questions about how Lich intended to spend some of the millions of dollars crowdsourced for the effort. Lich is expected to testify later this week.
In the leadup to the protests, another organizer Pat King, who will also testify, suggested in a social media video that Trudeau would "catch a bullet." This caused some participants to want King to stay home, Barber said.
Barber swas also at odds with another organizer, James Bauder, who runs the "Canada Unity" group. He said it had independently mapped a route to Ottawa before he and Belton had started on their own plans. said in the video.
Barber said he was also at odds with another organizer, James Bauder, who runs the "Canada Unity" group. He said it had mapped a route to Ottawa before he and Belton started on their own plans.
He said he didn't even read the group's "memorandum of understanding," which demanded that the Senate and Governor General force Trudeau and provinces to eliminate all COVID-19 restrictions, and it wasn't part of his group's motivations.
It was yet another group, the "Farfadaas" out of Quebec, that came to occupy a major intersection east of the parliamentary precinct, the inquiry heard.
In an intelligence report tabled at the commission, the Ontario Provincial Police described it as anti-government and quasi-sovereigntist. Member Steeve Charland, who is facing criminal charges related to the protests, said Tuesday he had little contact with the convoy's original organizers.
The intersection was one of many where Barber said it was difficult to organize the clearing of lanes for emergency vehicles.
Early on, after working all day to clear a lane on Kent Street, an artery that runs north to Parliament from Ottawa's central highway, he said he came back to find it "completely plugged" the next morning.
"Occupying or parking all over the city was never part of why we came," he said, expressing surprise that police escorted his group onto Wellington Street rather than a nearby staging area.
It would've been better if trucks were led off main streets at the start, he said. "I don't know how things went so wrong when we first arrived."
Both Barber and Belton described the protest itself as a peaceful, joyous event, with Barber saying the number who joined in was beyond his wildest dreams.
But a government lawyer confronted Barber with a graphic threat emailed to Deputy Prime Minister Chrystia Freeland. "When you start a fire and fan the flames, it can get out of control, and you had no control over those other factions who had come to this protest," said federal lawyer Andrew Gibbs.
For the first time, the inquiry heard about the frustrations that led protesters to a boiling point in the first place, with Belton describing COVID-19 health rules as "demeaning" and saying she didn't feel listened to when she contacted public officials.
When questioned by a lawyer representing downtown Ottawa residents who felt terrorized by the protesters and their truck horns, Belton pushed back on whether listening to honking was really more serious than being forced to follow health restrictions: "Which is more inconvenient?"
The distrust of government underpinning the protest was present at the inquiry Tuesday, too. Jane Scharf, a representative for Belton and a member of a group called "Stand4Thee" that called for Trudeau's arrest earlier this year, questioned the legitimacy of the commission.
Speaking to reporters outside the room, she accused Rouleau of being affiliated with the Liberals. The justice later responded that while the federal government did appoint him to lead the commission, he has been an independent judge for more than 20 years.

Gracieuseté de Simon Séguin-Bertrand, Le Droit
Le leader du groupe les "Farfadaas" a été arrêté par des agents de la
police provinciale de l'Ontario en fin de semaine.
Steeve Charland âgé de 48 ans qui réside à Grenville sur la rouge, a
été arrêté samedi dans le secteur de Vankleek Hill dans l'Est
Ontarien, en lien avec les manifestations contre les mesures
sanitaires qui ont paralysé le centre-ville d'Ottawa pendant plus de
trois semaines.
L'activiste est accusé de méfait et d'avoir porté conseil pour
commettre un méfait.
Steeve Charland et son groupe ont offert un soutient aux camionneurs
qui ont paralysé le centre-ville d'Ottawa; le mouvement avait
d'ailleurs causé des maux de tête à la police en s'installant sur le
site de Zibi à Hull, puis près d'une école à Pointe-Gatineau avant
d'être chassé par la police.

Convoy organizer, Les Farfadaas member from Quebec appears in court
Steeve Charland, 48, was arrested Sunday by OPP in Vankleek Hill, Ont.
UPDATE: Steeve Charland appeared in court Tuesday and was given 24 hours to determine whether he wants to represent himself or have a lawyer present ahead of an upcoming bail hearing.
Another leader of the so-called Freedom Convoy, Steeve Charland, had his first court appearance Tuesday after he was arrested over the weekend.
Steeve Charland, 48, was arrested Sunday morning in the Vankleek Hill area by Ontario Provincial Police officers.
He was charged with mischief and counselling to commit mischief and, according to Ottawa police, remained in custody until his Tuesday court appearance.
From Grenville, Que., Charland is known as a spokesman for Les Farfadaas, a Quebec group formed to protest against public health measures. That group was formed from La Meute, regarded by experts to be a far right, anti-Islam and anti-immigration group.

Charland from known far-right group in Quebec
Charland previously held a senior position within La Meute, a group that maintains an active social media presence, promoting itself online to be campaigning for the defence of freedom of expression and democracy, as well as promoting secularism.
People wearing Les Farfadaas patches and leather jackets could often be found around the protest site during the three-week occupation of Ottawa.
The group was also responsible for occupying a parking lot in the Hull sector of downtown Gatineau, Que., not far from the primary demonstration site in Ottawa.
After being forced to leave those premises by a court, they moved to the parking lot of the Notre-Dame-du-Très-Saint-Rosaire church in Gatineau before leaving 24 hours later via a police escort.

Tyson “Freedom George” Billings will remain in an Ottawa jail after he
was denied bail Monday, the third accused organizer of the so-called
“Freedom Convoy” to be denied bail since large-scale arrests the
weekend of Feb. 19 brought an end to the three-week “occupation” of
downtown streets.
Billings, 44, of High Prairie, Alta., sat with his arms crossed in the
prisoner’s box Monday as Ontario Court Justice Donna Hackett read
through her lengthy decision, finally arriving at her order to keep
Billings in custody with a condition barring him from communicating
with other convoy leaders.
Tamara Lich, 49, was denied bail in a Feb. 22 decision from Ontario
Court Justice Julie Bourgeois, who said she believed there was a
substantial likelihood Lich would re-offend if released.
The same judge had earlier granted bail to Chris Barber, who was
released on conditions, including a promise that he give up his
organizing days and return home to Swift Current, Sask.
Lich’s Ottawa-based defence lawyer Diane Magas is preparing to mount
another court challenge for Lich’s release in a bail-review hearing
scheduled for Wednesday.
Pat King, 44, another prominent convoy leader who has been named as a
close associate of Billings, was denied bail on Friday with Justice of
the Peace Andrew Seymour expressing similar concerns that King, if
released, may continue offending.
The justice also expressed doubt in the reliability of King’s proposed
surety, a woman named Kerry Komix (also known as Kerry Comix) who
acknowledged she had only met King four weeks earlier while travelling
to Ottawa to participate in the convoy. She had put up a $50,000 bond
in a bid for King’s release.
Unlike the bail hearings last week, however, the details and reasons
behind the decision involving Billings are shielded by a publication
ban imposed at the outset of Monday’s hearing.
A publication ban is customarily issued by the judge at bail hearings
at the request of the accused person or their defence counsel, though
no such orders were issued in the earlier hearings for Barber, Lich or
King.
Defence lawyer Oleksiy Bykov, who represents Billings, did not apply
for a publication ban at the commencement of Billings’s hearing on
Friday, but agreed with the judge on Monday, saying an order “would be
wise in these circumstances.”
The recent bail hearings have featured frequent warnings from the
judges directed at observers who appeared to be live-streaming the
hearings on various social media platforms — in contravention of
longstanding court orders and criminal code statutes that prohibit the
broadcast of court proceedings.
Billings was swept up in the mass arrests by Ottawa police on Feb. 19
— he live-streamed his own arrest on his Facebook page — and has
remained in custody since then.
He was charged with mischief, counselling to commit the offence of
mischief, counselling to commit the offence of disobeying a court
order, obstructing police and counselling to commit the offence of
obstructing police.
Assistant Crown Attorney Tara Dobec said last week that Billings is
facing additional charges of breaching a court order and counselling
others to breach a court order. He is scheduled to make his next court
appearance March 14.
Another accused convoy leader, Steeve Charland, 48, of Grenville, Que.
is scheduled to make a court appearance Tuesday. Charland was arrested
Saturday evening by OPP in the Vankleek Hill area and was charged with
mischief and counselling others to commit mischief.
Charland is a poet and former actor with a large social media following.
He was one of the leaders of La Meute, a Quebec identitarian group
established in 2015 in opposition to Canada’s decision to open its
borders to Syrian refugees.
During the “Freedom Convoy” protests in Ottawa, Charland acted as the
leader and spokesperson for the Farfadaas, a group that opposes
COVID-19 health measures and whose members are recognizable by their
leather vests marked with an expletive hand gesture.
The group led a protest near the intersection of Laurier and Laval
streets in Gatineau on an undeveloped part of the massive Zibi project
in support of the “Freedom Convoy” before they were ordered to leave
following a court order.

> Ontario Court Justice Julie Bourgeois said she believed there was a

>
> “I cannot be reassured that if I release you into the community that

>
> Following the hearing, Lich’s Ottawa-based defence lawyer, Diane
> Magas, said she was preparing a bail review application after her
> client was denied her freedom and hoped the application could be heard
> as soon as next week.
>
> The judge cited the “immense” impact the convoy and the ensuing
> occupation had on the community and said she believed Lich was
> “obstinate” and “disingenuous” in her responses to the court during
> her bail hearing on Saturday.
>
> Lich appeared in court via a video link Tuesday, while King appeared
> in person in a neighbouring courtroom, where his lawyer presented a
> bail plan that includes a $50,000 bond from an Alberta woman who
> acknowledged she had only known King for four weeks.
>
> Kerry Komix, the proposed surety, also travelled to Ottawa to support
> the demonstration.
>
> Assistant Crown Attorney Moiz Karimjee, who led the prosecution in
> both bail hearings, questioned the woman’s ability to act as a

> — as he watched from the prisoner’s box wearing white pants and a grey
> hoodie emblazoned with the word Odin.
>
> He also wore a surgical mask at the court’s direction and was reminded
> at one point by Justice of the Peace Andrew Seymour to wear his mask.
>
> King was cautioned by his lawyer, Cal Rosemond, following an outburst
> from the prisoner’s box early in the hearing and remained silent,
> occasionally slouching in his seat or fidgeting with his mask for the

>
> Karimjee pointed to the “disturbing evidence” seen and heard in the

>
> During the lunch break, King was also served with a statement of claim
> in the $306-million class-action lawsuit against him, other organizers

>
> Karimjee likened the incessant honking of trucker horns to “torture”
> and said King, who often cited the phrase “Art of War” in his online
> tirades, believed he was leading a war against government forces.
>
> “He was at war with the City of Ottawa,” Karimjee said. “The noise was
> a form of torture that was implemented on the citizens of Ottawa by
> Mr. King (with) what can only be described as a sadistic laugh…
>
> “Not only did Mr. King know, but it was his intention to use that
> noise to get the federal government to negotiate and come to the
> table. And, quite disturbingly, Mr. King was mocking, laughing at poor
> Ottawans who were not able to sleep. He was saying, ‘We have achieved
> our objective.’”
>
> Under the bail plan proposed by his lawyer, King would return to
> Alberta to live with Komix in a spare room in her home. The woman said
> she is willing to put up $50,000 — approximately half the value of her
> home — and told the court she would pledge the full value of the home
> “if it was necessary.”
>
> The bail plan would ensure King would be unable to communicate with
> others to organize any further protests, Rosemond told the court.
>
> “He’ll be stuck on house arrest” in rural Alberta with Komix, Rosemond
> said, and as surety she would be limiting his access to the internet

>
> Komix told the court she is a light sleeper and has a dog.
>
> “She’s going to follow your bail order to the letter of the law,”

> money if anything goes wrong with this bail plan.”
>
> Seymour said he recognized the “vast” public interest in the case and

Freedom Convoy organizers testify at public inquiry: Political reporters speak with Michael Serapio
PrimeTime Politics: Convoy leaders testify before Rouleau Commission – November 1, 2022

Enquête sur l’état d’urgence : commentaires du manifestant Steeve Charland après son témoignage
Freedom Convoy leader from Quebec released from jail
Steeve Charland, arrested Feb. 26 in Vankleek Hill, Ont., gets bail
Another leader of the so-called Freedom Convoy, Steeve Charland, was released from jail on Monday.
Charland, 48, was arrested in February by Ontario Provincial Police officers in Vankleek Hill, Ont., and charged with mischief and counselling to commit mischief.
He had remained in custody since, but on Monday was released on bail.
Charland agreed not to organize or promote protests linked to COVID-19 or the "Freedom Convoy" as part of his bail conditions. He must also stay away from Parliament Hill and not post content on social media.
A publication ban prevents reporting on other details about his court appearance.
From Grenville, Que., Charland is known as a spokesperson for Les Farfadaas, a Quebec group formed to protest against public health measures.
Charland from known far-right group in Quebec
That group was formed from La Meute, regarded by experts to be a far right, anti-Islam and anti-immigration group.
Charland previously held a senior position within La Meute, which maintains an active social media presence promoting itself as campaigning for the defence of freedom of expression and democracy, as well as promoting secularism.
People wearing Les Farfadaas patches and leather jackets could often be found around the protest site during the three-week occupation of Ottawa.
The group was also responsible for occupying a parking lot in the Hull sector of downtown Gatineau, Que., not far from the primary demonstration site in Ottawa.
After being forced to leave those premises by a court, they moved to the parking lot of the Notre-Dame-du-Très-Saint-Rosaire church in Gatineau, Que., before leaving 24 hours later via a police escort.
King makes appearance, returns to court Thursday
Another convoy leader, Pat King, also appeared in court Monday. Near the start of his appearance, King expressed frustration in open court over communication issues. A lawyer that had been representing King, Cal Rosemond, said he had not had the opportunity to speak with King lately and requested the two be given an opportunity to speak.
After a brief intermission, Rosemond requested the matter be adjourned until Thursday so King could speak with his "prospect of lawyers."
"I need to discuss this with someone because there's supposed to be a team of lawyers working on this," King said.
He also requested — and was denied — a publication ban. King expressed frustration over court proceedings regularly being illegally broadcast on social media.

I wonder if this is the same David Fraser and if so did he lose his fancy job with CBC because he was too fair in his reporting
'Freedom Convoy' organizers Chris Barber, Brigitte Belton, to testify at Emergencies Act inquiry
Jeremy MacKenzie, founder of online group 'Diagolon,' to testify on Friday via videoconference. He is currently in prison in Saskatchewan
Author of the article:
Freedom Convoy organizers are testifying at the public inquiry into the federal government’s use of the Emergencies Act starting today. First up, protest organizer Chris Barber. Watch his testimony live in the video above.
The witnesses are expected to shed light on the conception of the weeks-long demonstrations that gridlocked Ottawa streets last winter.
Several of the protest organizers, including Barber, Tamara Lich and Pat King, are facing criminal charges related to their involvement.
The inquiry is investigating the events leading up to the federal government’s emergency declaration Feb. 14, weeks into demonstrations that had gridlocked downtown Ottawa and spilled into border blockades elsewhere.
It has so far painted a picture of confusion and chaos among police forces and levels of government as officials tried to figure out how to respond.
By all accounts to date, the idea for the convoy to Ottawa appears to have been inspired by a TikTok video of two truck drivers.
Brigitte Belton, who is expected to testify after Barber, was one of the first people to conceive of the idea.
Barber was an early organizer, driving from his Saskatchewan home to Ottawa in January, with Lich at his side for much of the journey.
The two are co-accused of criminal mischief, obstructing police and counselling others to commit mischief and intimidation for their actions during the protest.
Protesters began to arrive in Ottawa on Jan. 28 to express their anger and opposition to the federal government and to COVID-19 restrictions, including vaccine mandates.
The protest quickly evolved into what police and government officials have described as an all-out occupation, with demonstrators blocking traffic, blaring truck horns and setting up camp in city streets.
The area outside Parliament Hill was only cleared weeks later, after Ottawa invoked the federal Emergencies Act on Feb. 14.
Public Order Emergency Commission hearings began in mid-October and are expected to continue until late November.
Lich has attended for the majority of the hearings, sitting in a public viewing area with friends and a small handful of supporters. Barber arrived in Ottawa last week and briefly attended one of the hearings.
Late Monday, the commission signalled that it intends to call Jeremy MacKenzie, the founder of online group “Diagolon,” to testify on Friday via videoconference.
MacKenzie was present for the protests in Ottawa and the group includes other members who supported the convoy.
MacKenzie’s lawyer has made an application to the commission asking that he testify in the absence of the public and parties or under a publication ban and saying that his presence in Ottawa last winter was “lawful and peaceable.”
He is currently in a Saskatchewan prison and was denied release earlier this month after being arrested in Nova Scotia on a Canada-wide warrant.
He was charged with assault, pointing a firearm, mischief and using a restricted weapon in a careless manner after police received a report about an alleged assault near Viscount, Sask., in November 2021.
MacKenzie was also charged in Nova Scotia with 13 firearms offences in January, and with harassment and intimidation in March after an anti-mask protest outside the home of Nova Scotia’s chief medical officer of health.

I make sure that I do it loud I do it proud and as you can see truckers for Freedom Canada wide shut down and all the mandates truckers have had enough people have had enough and from the turnout and the outpouring of support that we've got it sounds like we're going to have a million Man March in Ottawa from the 29th 29th 30th 31st. This is an Ottawa Washington country to dictate the Ottawa you know what what we want what are demands are there's no more that we can start treating people like their parasites just to go in and grab a coffee get. We got mothers with children being escorted out by police. We've got restaurants and shut down left and right. People can't feed their families all of the guys of a fake pandemic that even when your job you're still getting sick.

We are a peaceful country that has helped protect nations across the globe from Tyrannical governments who oppressed their people, well now its happening to us. 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.
We are asking for Donations to help with the costs of fuel, food and lodgings to help ease the pressures of this arduous task.
But it's a small price to pay for our freedoms. We thank you all for your Donations and know that you are helping reshape this once beautiful country back to the way it was.
Organizer
