Greg Wycliffe - Brave Momma Bear of two will NOT comply!

00:00:00.000 All right I am here with Erica. Who do you have in your hands here today?

00:00:03.900 My kids Emily and Carter three and four years old. Why did you think it was important to come

00:00:08.380 out to this to this Women's March today? Because I'm the only one who parents my child obviously 0.99

00:00:13.920 with my husband but definitely not with the government. We're not going to be vaccinating

00:00:17.800 the kids we're not going to be doing any of the mandates that they're requiring. We're because of

00:00:23.260 this we've pulled them out of public school so we found a wonderful private school to have them in

00:00:28.140 as well just so none of this will affect them. They don't have any mandates there.

00:00:32.260 It's been a crazy three years. Were you into politics much before this?

00:00:36.220 That's what's so funny. Not really and now definitely am. Yeah and I think it's really

00:00:41.940 interesting that you know as the pandemic as lockdown happened I feel like people who have

00:00:46.460 a real matriarchal instinct and patriarchal instinct really started to kind of take action and started 1.00

00:00:52.580 to like you know get engaged right? Yeah absolutely. I didn't follow really much of anything before

00:00:57.980 but it's sad how political this is when it shouldn't be. No. No not about our kids. Yeah yeah

00:01:04.100 actually I was talking to a young university student and I really love how he framed it because

00:01:07.660 he said I don't really care if people are apolitical but this is the government overreaching on our

00:01:11.980 fundamental rights and that's kind of morally wrong to not say anything about that right? Absolutely

00:01:17.940 and same with anything I find speaking with friends or family you don't even want to talk about it

00:01:22.240 because it becomes political. Yeah. Everything now because they've infiltrated everything every

00:01:28.720 aspect of our lives and that's again why we don't have our kids in public school. Do you watch the

00:01:34.500 news in this country? Did you watch the news in the country? Not too much to begin with and now not at

00:01:39.940 all. I definitely seek out independence. Did you see the the trucker convoy happen last year? What

00:01:44.820 were your thoughts and feelings around that? Oh we were there and my little guy his sign said when I

00:01:48.740 grow up I want to be a trucker. Yeah and then my husband I had stayed home with the kids but my

00:01:54.100 husband went down to Ottawa. Yeah it was fantastic. Over the past three years like what is the one

00:01:59.280 thing that you really never want to have to experience again whether it's like a social

00:02:03.820 division thing or a mandate thing that you had to confront? Yeah just having my kids locked out

00:02:09.440 of things that they want to do that was definitely the toughest part. My husband and I were very

00:02:13.920 fortunate we didn't lose any friends or family throughout all of this they understood.

00:02:17.740 Not everyone's so lucky. No I know that's why I'm very fortunate but when my daughter couldn't

00:02:24.460 go to dance when she couldn't go to a preschool but then that just kind of pulled us and I found

00:02:29.600 independent pod preschools for her and met fantastic people along the way. And these independent pod

00:02:35.180 preschools were these things that already existed or were they kind of growing as these kind of

00:02:39.660 mandates came in? The ones I found started once this came because it was just a group of parents

00:02:46.060 that needed to find somewhere because their kids still wanted to play and learn. So we found that

00:02:50.660 but the school that I have my daughter and my little guy's not in school yet it just started up but

00:02:56.560 someone had this dream for a while having without the mandates it's all about the love for the kids.

00:03:01.980 If there was a politician watching or like a public official like what message would you have for

00:03:08.380 them? If you had like Justin Trudeau in front of you for example like what would you want to say then?

00:03:12.100 Let's not say him. I don't know. There's too much and it wouldn't be good.

00:03:19.300 Just to kind of stay out of our everyday lives and not trying to co-parent with the kids and

00:03:24.720 especially today it's all about the kids. Have you experienced a lot of social division over

00:03:29.840 the past three years and currently and how do you deal with that? My good group of friends

00:03:35.340 they're all vaccinated. They love what I'm standing up for but they just can't believe it. Even when

00:03:41.600 some of them they agreed with the trucker convoy were a little bit vocal at that point online and

00:03:47.840 I'm going to say the hate that they received they were literally like I don't know how you have been

00:03:52.400 standing up for the last two years. Like it is exhausting but they don't understand how deeply I stand

00:04:00.200 with this truth. Like even last year we were supposed to go on our first family vacation. Couldn't leave

00:04:06.120 the country. Had to cancel it and one of my best friends was like really you're not going to go get

00:04:11.060 the vaccine so you can go on this trip? Like have you not been listening to me for the last two years?

00:04:16.800 Like no and it's not just about putting that in my body. It's about showing my kids to this is

00:04:22.840 something that I don't want to do and I'm not going to do it just for to go do something right or to go

00:04:29.760 somewhere. Absolutely not. It doesn't make sense to you you know it's like not something that you

00:04:34.140 feel comfortable doing it's bodily autonomy it's really really simple. I've known two three people

00:04:40.260 that have from it and others injured so it's been it's been a really tough two years and two are within

00:04:46.480 one week. 46 years old and 54. Well a heart attack that you could chalk it up to and another neurological

00:04:53.820 issue that started right after that you could chalk it up to. Absolutely. Of course that's where it's

00:04:59.780 not so black and white right but. I didn't have heart damage before my jab either so. I know a few

00:05:04.720 people here tonight have the sign of Sean Hartman and that was my nephew's friend from Beaton Ontario

00:05:09.500 so there's been a lot. What would you say to to the people who who don't understand your perspective

00:05:15.780 like like how do you try to wake these people up have you given up on them or like you know

00:05:19.740 not not given up I just felt like I've just been doing so much talk like some of them just don't

00:05:27.300 get it even a friend just two nights ago I'm like how do you feel now that I hope you know that you've

00:05:33.360 been so lied to like about the even the efficacy of the scene she's like well I don't know I don't

00:05:40.320 really think I've been lied to it's just they didn't know then you know it's just they just

00:05:46.060 find ways to justify right just like anybody who does bizarre they just find a way to justify it

00:05:53.360 and I think that's what they're doing they've just lived like this for three years being told this

00:05:59.480 again and again that they're not going back I don't know. I made a tweet the other day that I kind

00:06:05.840 of stand by and not so much the people like your friend who are justifying it and saying oh I don't

00:06:12.640 know they got it wrong they got it wrong but the people who are like anti-convoy or like super pro

00:06:17.680 mandate super pro mask I think that these people have become like the most like the ignorant and

00:06:25.020 hateful like these are the ignorant and hateful people. Absolutely same with even at rallies last

00:06:30.660 winter and people drive by in the car like yelling F you like go home stuff like this and I was just

00:06:37.700 like I love you and it made them more angry yeah it was wild to see and we were just there singing

00:06:44.080 oh Canada having an amazing time making amazing human connections they were alone in their car and

00:06:49.700 angry. Visceral hostility it's like where does this anger come from and the other thing is like you

00:06:55.180 are so ignorant of the facts you know like you don't even know what's going on here. Absolutely

00:07:01.200 I just hope slowly that more people will just start waking up to the truth that's going on

00:07:08.960 same with even even me coming like to the education system like I I knew I didn't really want my kids

00:07:15.080 apart but now I've fully woken up to that whole slew of problems as well so I'm hoping it just takes one

00:07:21.460 or two things and people just a domino effect can keep waking more people up to what's going on and

00:07:26.880 especially the whole movement with the grassroots education system that's coming like I think it's

00:07:32.200 gone up since 2013 53 percent higher demand for it and the problem is I've sent I've signed so many

00:07:40.840 petitions last winter trying to get like a tax credit because that's the barrier people can't afford

00:07:46.420 these schools like they're anywhere from 11,000 to 18,000 for kind of like a basic pod some of them

00:07:55.460 to go to so I mean a lot of families can't afford that and then you're still paying your tax dollars

00:07:59.560 to the public education. Exactly so I'm kind of paying double so if families could get a tax credit

00:08:07.160 back then people could afford this alternative education but of course the government's not going

00:08:11.500 to let that happen we all know that. Is there any inspiring things you see on the political front

00:08:16.740 in terms of solutions and things in terms of things changing? I don't know that's the thing I'm not

00:08:21.060 going to put all my faith in a politician like they're going to come and save me it's what the people do

00:08:26.360 not the politicians they can say what they want yeah some of them say some great things but it's going

00:08:31.940 to be the people coming together that will make a difference that's what I believe. Thanks so much for your
