A Cut and Paste from a woman I know in Mexico sent to her by her Canadian Friend on the Canadian Trucker Revolt....
What an incredible experience and one I will never forget! What was to be a quick trip to Calgary to show my love and support for the truckers convoy, turned into joining in but only going as far as Medicine Hat then come back. We got to Medicine Hat, I decided I'd turn around at the Saskatchewan border. Got there and decided to go to the next stop which was Swift Current but I still couldn't stop there. I ended up going to Balgonie, the first overnight stop, after Calgary. Slept in my car for the night with my dogs blanket lol (little brrrr ...-34) and struggled in the morning as I whole heartedly wanted to continue on to Ottawa but I didn't have what I needed (clothes, deodorant, toothbrush etc.) to go that far as I hadn't planned on joining in. I definitely shed tears as I watched them all roll out. There are no words to really explain the outpour of love and support I witnessed as we went down the highway. Words like incredible, amazing etc just don't seem to describe the enormity of it. There were people at every overpass, at every town, on the side roads, the sides of the highway, farmers fields etc. etc. They were waving flags and signs, waving arms, jumping up and down, cheering, honking horns, flashing their lights, letting off fireworks. At stops they handed out bags of food to us. I was brought to tears so many times at all the incredible support. And while of this was absolutely amazing, the most amazing thing I got to witness was the happiness on their faces, the gratefulness and something that has been missing for a very long time...faith, hope and UNITY!
My hope is that everyone will go out and experience this history making event for themselves if only for a little bit, or in a small way. You don't have to drive with them but go witness it for yourselves, I promise you won't regret it. If you can't get out there, watch the real footage of this, there is lots out there from people in the convoy and people who came to cheer on. This is massive, I had no idea when I decided to go along for a bit, exactly how massive. This has gone worldwide!!!! Truckers from the U.S. are coming up to support us all. People around the world are watching Canada! The organizers had no idea how big this was going to be, they're absolutely blown away as well. Huge shout out to the organizers on a phenomenal job organizing this in such a very short time. It is done with professionalism that is for sure!
I was asked why I did this...I say, how could I not. I'm fighting for my grandbaby and my kids and their futures. Find your reason to fight and you will hopefully say the same...how could you not.
I hope that people will now realize that we all have what it takes to take our freedoms back. We the people!!! We just need to stand up, stand together as one and don't back down!!! The time is now!! When we stand as one, nothing is impossible!!
I want to thank each and every one of them from the bottom of my heart for all that they're doing!! I love each and everyone of you.
