Re: "Freedom Convoy abuses its platform to create chaos," Opinion, The Gazette, Feb. 9.
I am disenchanted at the misinformation spread by “long-time staff writer” Anna Borowiecki. The ignorant actions referred to have not been witnessed or proven on full video footage, anywhere. This was parroted by other media sources who also have not proven these actions and only serves to further divide our community. Even if a couple of staged agitators were conveniently caught by mainstream media out of a crowd of millions, ask yourself, why you are choosing to point darkness on those instead of shining the light where it is due? Nobody has desecrated anything. They are respectfully recognizing those who defended before us. Why would you even want to twist that into something so dark?
The live streams of this freedom movement show what’s really going on. Have you looked for other resources, other than what you have been indoctrinated to believe in as “credible,” before taking such a strong stance? This is Canadian unity full of love, happiness, and acceptance. Even Albertans and Quebecers are now understanding we all want the same things. It’s Canada’s largest Heritage Days festival ever and it’s being censored and horribly manipulated.
I have seen live streams showing the Polish in Ottawa cooking loads of food in appreciation for these truckers who stepped up to save the freedoms that your Polish-born father came to Canada for. Can you see that governments around the world are repeating the same strategies as Stalin and Hitler to divide, conquer, and to strip all those guaranteed rights from our Constitution? Why is government refusing to debate the science as democracy demands?
Have you compared the many millions of pandemic causes of death worldwide in the years prior to 2020, or just the “five million in the last two years?” Can you recognize the government's bullying strategies?
As other countries continue to join in on this freedom movement, these “torturous” honking horns will soon sound across the whole world, representing the glorious trumpets that break down the walls of Jericho. Religious or not, this is the awakening moment our collective consciousness has been praying, and dying for, over generations.
