I have been deeply offended by the “health” orders issued in March 2020 and beyond by provincial and federal doctors and politicians in response to COVID. As a former editor, I know my way around the Internet, and soon satisfied myself that my risk of getting COVID, much less dying from it, was less than one percent. The efforts made to bury the true effects and outcomes during this time, while astounding, have confirmed this assessment. I have come to regard the events of the past two years as theatre, reminiscent of the Matrix’s red pill blue pill scenario. More recently, it has become apparent that these events provided cover for more nefarious activities related to implementation of the Great Reset. Invocation of the Emergencies Act in response to the freedom convoy served to put a spotlight on these activities. The truckers and their followers brought me the only hope I have felt that my rights and freedoms might be restored. More importantly, those of future generations.
Val deserves our support and a full interview on your substack. You should also look into why human rights organizations like Amnesty International remained silent about the Emergencies Act as well as all of the other human rights violations with vaccine passports and lockdowns over the past 2 years. Freedom of speech, movement, and bodily autonomy have all been trampled in Canada.
Chrystia Freeland, has the nerve to say on the news "This is one of the times when freedom confronts Tyranny". What about the Tyrant she works for? Trudeau took away our civil rights and freedoms over 2 years ago and never returned any. We still can't travel to see family members in the United States, even when fully vaccinated, without paying blood money for a test we don't need, to get back into our own country. Another tax by Trudeau to control the movement of Canadians. Chrystia has supported Trudeau in all of these actions and should be ashamed of herself. She is a traitor to Canada. Trudeau invoked the emergency act because of truckers protesting mandates, arrested them and assaulted people because they were standing up against his lies. Then, he has the nerve to stand up in the commons and talk about freedoms being abused in Russia and complaining about demonstrators being arrested by police. That is the same thing he did to Canadian demonstrators. We need to worry about our lost freedoms and rights in Canada, under our own dictator. Forget Russia, how about standing up for your own people? If Chrystia can't protect the freedoms of her own citizens, she is not fit to be the deputy PM. As it stands now she is supporting tyranny in her your own country.
Thank you for opening the door and posting those first current letters to the editor. I have so much frustration at how Covid has been covered, and now how the Russia/Ukraine situation is being spun. To see you, a journalist, giving space to people who are cautiously putting their thoughts out helps heal my heart just a bit.
Thank you. There is a gaping wound in Canadian society that needs to be healed. That can't even begin until the 'comfortable' listen to the 'afflicted' - really listen, without judgement and with compassion. Then they can say sorry for the suffering that they ignored and contributed to.
This is Socialism, your betters know best, shut up and do as you are told. A ‘strong’ Polarizing Vortex has swept in from the poles and threatens our political climate. But Climate includes all countries and peoples of the world. We need to remember that our Planet is a Sphere, it has no sides, only Poles that are frozen wastelands without life.
We need to DePolarize….. Come in from the Cold…. Warm your Hearts.
And don’t worry about Climate Change; There is no Global Warming in Canada.
The ‘leaders’ have frozen everything, from your Freedom to your Funds.
This last week the world has been polarized in a way that reminds me of Oceania, Eurasia and Eastasia in Orwell's blueprint book, 1984. The hysterical hate campaigns lack rationality and humanity. They foster fear and violence and do not help. Truckers feel it, too.
As always things are taken to extremes. Hey folks - you want a REAL look at oppression? Check out what's going on in the Ukraine. THAT is oppression. This other stuff in Canada sounds like a bunch of spoiled brats.
I think it is very sad that a public health initiative has been politicalized. Many vaccines are already mandatory because they save lives and because they keep vulnerable people safer. Sometimes the idea of civic duty is usurped by a demand for individual rights. There needs to be a balance. In regard to the Emergency Act imposed by the Federal government, I look forward to understanding the whole story. I don't think we have all the facts as of yet.
Keep up the good work Tara. Substack is the only place I trust for valid and common sense discourse that doesn't ridicule or insult different ideas or beliefs.
Thanks for sharing these letters. I think I identify with an element of each. I think everyday Canadians (not loony racists, misogynists etc) know something is seriously wrong with so many of our institutions and are either are fearful to express those concerns or can’t exactly articulate them but can’t escape the gnawing reality around them.

The Canadian truckers represent those people that built the country that the Trudeau people now benefit looting from.
I absolutely love your content and look forward to it. It never disappoints.

In Canada, there is a simple maxim:-

I second that comment.
I'm a 66 year young boomer whose parents lived in TYRANNY 80 years ago.
They came to Canada only to have two generations of the GLOBALIST EVIL ARROGANT Trudeau CARTEL ruin the country they came to.
Only one question.
When and how do we ARREST little potato 🥔 as the Chinese call him ,for crimes against humanity??

Thank you for sharing these peoples thoughts. The mandates are truly evil.
The Liberal Party of Canada stands with those who wave Nazi flags
(or in this case, banners) Yeah, that's her. Deputy Prime Minister Freeland.
