I don't think the masses in Canada want to be free. I have family in Canada who live in a rural area. Even they love this government control stuff.

I can't believe it. Here in the U.S. the rural people are most liable to believe in rugged individualism and the last ones to believe they need a powerful government to solve all their problems, real or imagined. Not so in Canada. Even the rural folks there believe the more powerful the socialist government, the better.

You might be right, sadly. Much less so in rural AB, SK, and BC Interior, I would believe. Much more likely to believe in individualism out here.

Personally, I’d rather die on my feet than exist on my knees! (At least when it comes to men/women/its.)

I WILL bow at His feet!

"I don't think the masses in Canada want to be free. I have family in Canada who live in a rural area. Even they love this government control stuff."

That has become extremely clear to me in the last weeks, especially with their Parliment agreeing with Trudope's tyranny today. I didn't know how socialist Canada had become. They are a lost cause. Canada is no longer one of the top 3 liberty loving/supporters (America, Australia, Canada) in the free world. Australia is looking the same. I'm saddened for those prior free nations, and America is heading that way.

I'm glad I'm on the home stretch of my life, but thankful I got to grow up and live in a truly free nation for most of my life. It was my biggest honor to serve the most copied and influential nation/society in modern history. We had a wondrous run.

How is it being portrayed in the Media? If it is the way it would be here in the USA the truckers are probably being portrayed as evil white supremacists. Also, I'm not sure the blocking of roads and border crossings was the best way to protest. A lot of us in the USA were outraged at the BLM protests that blocked roads and freeways. Maybe the truckers would have done better to simply go on strike?

No sense ignoring this. And no sense ignoring the reality of Americans' attitudes, either.

I have been saying for years… England is dead. (Demographics.)

Now it’s… The West is dead.
