The Canadian truckers' fight for freedom is our fight for freedom.
“Where is the fight now?”
The news about Chris Barber’s arrest and the Canadian truckers’ response of retreat just broke when I asked this to two delivery guys in an elevator ride who were talking about Ottawa.
Their sudden silent stares meant they most likely thought I was critical of the drivers. If only support could be gifted in some tangible tapestry for each and every trucker.
Watching yet another battle in man’s fight for liberty get extinguished, is watching yet another aspect of life die.
Rivaling my focus on questions of Where is the fight now? - and What’s next for Canada and The United States? - were my feelings about the truckers.
There is an interview in the A&E documentary for Steve McQueen where actor Don Gordon says that watching Steve McQueen in The Great Escape, “Makes us feel like we can come back and we can kick ass”. Don Gordon’s words about Steve McQueen fit the truckers. Watching their demonstration gave us vicarious strength. For the past few weeks, the truckers exemplified the zeal of a Trump rally, the non-violent commitment of a Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. march, and a God-given compass of walking towards freedom and away from government control.
Communism is Abuse, Just Like Family Abuse
Within families where the elders are committing abuse, there is often one member, a sibling or even a distant cousin, who shows the will to fight – fight against the abuse - for his own right to exist in freedom.

Steve McQueen as in “WANTED; DEAD OR ALIVE?”

NEVER give up.
In the days ahead we will meet the same enemy the truckers met in Ottawa. We will see peaceful protest battered and bloodied. We will see imprisonment, broken lives, and death. These will occur in the vanguard of this revolution against evil. Evil will bring its greatest weapons: violence, hatred, and the destruction of the messengers.
We must not be dissuaded by the enemy. His strength is his weakness. His violence will bring him down. Do not return evil with evil. Remain strong in the Lord. HIS is the victory. Be at peace and stand on the front lines. We will win this struggle.
I saw that Brandon is gonna fence the US Capitol back in for the State of the Union day, expecting trouble from truckers.
Truckers need to put Ottawa on notice that they will not deliver goods to the city...because it’s too risky.
The government just identified and eliminated the resistance for any future actions the government might take. That seems to be the definition of a peaceful protest.
Every government employee has a neighbor who may not want their crap or boot on the neck.
