The so-called “freedom convoy” has captured worldwide attention as a minority of truckers and their supporters have asserted their right to assemble and oppose COVID-19 protocols imposed by the federal, provincial and territorial governments. No problem there.
The problem lies in what’s not being said or acknowledged.
The one-word rallying cry — freedom — is the activist mantra. Who could be against freedom? But let’s take stock of the freedom that some have exercised during the ongoing rally:
It’s worth noting that a freedom they’re demanding — the right to refuse COVID-19 vaccinations without curtailing their livelihood — poses immense risk not only to themselves but to everyone else, while also draining the health-care system and denying treatments for others.
Whose freedom? Not the overwhelming majority of Canada, that don't support these losers shitting in the streets.
Whose freedom is the ‘freedom convoy’ fighting for? Not everyone’s
These anti science losers don't have the support they think they do.

The one-word rallying cry — freedom — is the activist mantra. Who could be against freedom? But let’s take stock of the freedom that some have exercised during the ongoing rally:
- Descending upon a soup kitchen, intimidating staff and demanding to be fed — all without masks.
- Desecrating war memorials that pay tribute to those who fought for the very freedoms the convoy supporters enjoy.
- Defecating in public, including on the property of people whose home displays a Pride flag.
- Overrunning malls and shops that have forced many to shut down, thereby denying the shop owners’ and employees freedom to earn a living.
- Shutting down schools in the wake of rallies, denying parents the freedom to go to work and children their freedom to go to school.
- Uttering racist and threatening comments, making many people in Ottawa’s downtown feel generally unsafe.
