TRANSCRIPT
In Canada, pepper spray, tow trucks and bank account seizures shut down the famed Freedom Convoy two weeks ago. But as Church Militant’s Kim Tisor explains, Canadians’ fight for freedom is far from over.
America’s northern neighbors fanned out across Canada Saturday, from British Columbia to Newfoundland and Labrador, to create a “freedom chain.”
Freedom chain participant: “Well, we’re making a freedom chain because freedom’s important. We have to protect it.”
They stood and marched alongside more than 4,600 miles of the Trans-Canada Highway. Citizens say they’re fighting ongoing vaccine mandates and government overreach.
While restrictions are easing in some provinces, British Columbia’s mandates remain in place despite lack of evidence to support them. But scientific evidence doesn’t appear to be a prerequisite for government. Over the weekend, media revealed Quebec imposed a curfew on its people in December after its public health officials advised against it, because no scientific evidence supported the crackdown.
Citizens and civil rights groups claim the mandates are clearly an abuse of power, and if the abuse isn’t stopped, it’s likely to spread.
U.S. Senate candidate Josh Mandel, R-Ohio: “When you look at what Trudeau did, you look at what the Big Tech companies did, you look at what the big banks did up there, they’re coming here next. … The infrastructure is there, the beta test is complete and next is against the American people.”
Government roadblocks may have stopped the Freedom Convoy in its tracks, but did nothing to quash Canadians’ continual calls for freedom.
An Ontario judge ruled today one of the Freedom Convoy organizers be released from jail following a bail review. The judge found that the previous judge who denied Tamara Lich bail made errors in law. Lich has been imprisoned for her role in the convoy since Feb. 17.
