Freedom Day January 29, 2023
Freedom Day
2022 saw a historic freedom protest in Ottawa Canada called the Truckers Freedom Convoy. Viva Frei and That Retired Guy were there.
The peaceful loving protest came to a violent conclusion when our Government imposed the Emergencies Act and sent armies of riot police and mounted horsemen to assault and arrest the protesters. After a highly politicised inquiry the country is still divided and in pain. I'm looking forward to the independent "National Citizens Inquiry" which is planned for 2023 so go on-line to support: https://nationalcitizensinquiry.ca/petition2/
Many have expressed interest in commemorating the one year anniversary of this event and Viva recently discussed this in an interview with the Freedom Convoy Lawyer Keith Wilson. Here's an update.
Live your best life.

Many have expressed interest in commemorating the one year anniversary of this event and there are plans for a reunion in Winnipeg https://worldunityconvoy2023.com
But the Freedom Convoy Lawyer Brian Wilson, is suggesting we all simply celebrate Freedom Day on January 29 by waving our flags and maybe even meeting up on highway overpasses all across Canada.
Live your best life.

Riding in Rolling Thunder
That Retired Guy warms up his 20+ year old RoadStar motorcycle and joins the the Rolling Thunder Rally. The goal is to return dignity to the Canadian War Memorial that was desecrated by Police during their attack on the Truckers Freedom Convoy protesters this past February. Veterans who were guarding the sacred ground were beaten and dragged away under the authority of the Emergencies Act decreed by Prime Minister Trudeau. It is time we paid our respect to the Canadian Veterans who fought hard for the freedoms that are being stripped away.
Riding as a part of Rolling Thunder is my way of saying thank you to our Veterans and it's a shout out for Freedom.
