Inspiration From Canada by Robert Socha

I continue to watch the Canadian truckers’ protest with much interest and admiration. They have found a way to proclaim their position adamantly and demand Trudeau’s office retreat from its totalitarianism, returning to the relatively free state Canadians have historically known. But unfortunately, the Prime Minister’s blatant disrespect of his constituents and bombastic defamation of this protest’s character has met with swift resolve to stand until the government capitulates. Canadians want their Liberty!

Alberta has capitulated and is lifting its mandates tonight!

Saskatchewan will lift its mask requirements by the month’s end and no longer require Covid-19 vaccine passports starting Monday!

When asked by a reporter how long they were planning on staying in Ottawa, one trucker’s response evokes that wry humor western culture has used to overcome much consternation. Although I couldn’t locate the meme to include in this writing, it quite possibly could have been an online joke, the conversation, as I recall, was something like this:

Reporter: “How long are you going to blockade Ottawa?”

Trucker: “Two weeks to slow the spread.”

These actions motivate me to continue my charge to stand for individual Liberty and remind the government its job is to secure that thing, not impose.
