The “Freedom Convoy” wasn’t a homegrown, grassroots, working class movement about COVID mandates, but a foreign-funded occupation & political destabilization movement that terrorized Ottawa for weeks. It’s frustrating to watch Poilievre et al defending Tamara Lich and Chris Barber.

I just left the Everglades Immigrant Interment Camp. No, I’m not using their ridiculous name. It was a very tough to witness humans in those cages. Every Floridian should be ashamed that our taxpayer money is being used for this.

A country in which the people’s representatives vote for legislation not out of moral conviction or steadfast conscience, but because of fear of the executive, can no longer call itself a democracy.
