00:00:00.000 I am here with Care Bear. Care Bear. Carolyn. Carolyn Care Bear and you're a mom. You're right
00:00:05.560 here with your kids behind us. I'm here with all my three kids, my three daughters, my grandson
00:00:10.020 Tripp and we're here to actually just be free. You know like I don't care for myself personally
00:00:19.140 because I'm 64 but I got grandkids, I got kids and is this the way we want to go? I think it's
00:00:26.140 the Hunger Games and it's really creeping me out. So you can't feel it until you're here
00:00:32.380 and then it gets in your soul and you just move with it, right? And you are, I mean you
00:00:39.820 take care of yourself by the looks of it. You said it's all about not caring. Well I was
00:00:43.580 holding my camera so I put my makeup on but yeah. My family is the most important part here. They
00:00:50.160 came and picked me up and said mom I know you, this is important to you so we're gonna come
00:00:56.960 get you. You're gonna put your big girl panties on and we're going down there and I'm like yeah! 0.99
00:01:02.400 There they all are there, my whole family. That's beautiful. The other thing is, is the water for
00:01:09.280 the First Nations. I'm an avid believer in our indigenous people and they've been so screwed 1.00
00:01:18.800 over. Again and again. Again and again. And all we hear is these promises, these empty promises. Oh my god, 0.98
00:01:26.640 I'm just like, I donated to a whole thing about water. I hope it's not through GoFundMe but
00:01:35.280 I tried to stay away from that. But the thing is, is that look at these people. I've never hugged
00:01:43.840 anybody in three years. I retired four years ago. Three years I've been locked up from my family,
00:01:50.480 from my friends and I'm like, I'm not afraid of this anymore. I'm like, let's go get it. Let's go get
00:01:56.560 COVID! I'm not afraid anymore. I'm not afraid anymore. What were you doing before? I worked in a,
00:02:03.920 in public education. Okay, nice. And I watched a lot of, uh, nonsense. It's all government,
00:02:10.640 right? So, I mean, I, my mom is a school to community. Yeah. Or she was, she's retired now.
00:02:16.560 Yeah. But, uh, I mean. Lucky her right now. That's scary. It's scary. Would you want to go to school
00:02:22.240 with this? No. My granddaughter's going with a mask on. My grandson's going with a mask on.
00:02:27.280 And they're how old? Three, four and, and ten. Like, it's nonsense. Trippy, come in here with me.
00:02:35.760 I want my grandson in here, because this is what I'm doing this for, is my grandson, right? And my
00:02:41.920 granddaughter, and my other grandson. This is our future. This is our hope. And if we don't stand up
00:02:49.440 like true Canadians, like we are, look at us. We're goddamn lovely people. Seriously. Well, 0.99
00:02:57.360 how has your life changed the most in the past two years? What do you miss the most? Um, probably
00:03:04.800 going to, um, all my sports and stuff, because now we can't, because you have to be vaccinated. Yeah.
00:03:12.400 He doesn't want to be vaccinated. He's not ready. You know, why can't you play sports?
00:03:19.040 I, one of the best parts of my childhood was playing sports. Yeah. Playing all sorts of sports.
00:03:24.160 Me too, actually. Me too. And also recess. Oh, right? And you have, do you have to wear a mask in
00:03:31.280 the schoolyard or? Um, no, but if you, um, want to eat lunch or talk at lunch, you have to put your mask on.
00:03:41.200 If you want to talk at lunch. You have to put your mask on. So after you eat, put your mask back up and talk.
00:03:48.240 But if you're during lunch, if you want to talk to someone while you're watching the show or
00:03:52.480 something, you have to put on your mask. Wow. Sad. Sad. And I guess, are the teachers really strict
00:04:00.880 when it comes to that? Yes. Especially my bus driver. She, um, she, she actually lives on my street 1.00
00:04:11.680 and whenever, like, I get on the bus, she's usually really rude to us and gives us bus reports if she
00:04:17.760 doesn't even know what happened. Yeah. I used to be a bus driver. I'd, uh, I wouldn't let them wear
00:04:22.480 their masks. I'd say you can smoke, you can open the windows, you can do whatever you want. I don't
00:04:26.480 care. That's because you're care bearer. You're care bearer. That's right. This is their future,
00:04:30.320 right? I think they have a right to know and a right to decide. And maybe some of them can't for
00:04:36.800 themselves, but some of them sure can. Yeah. And we should let them, you know, like,
00:04:41.760 uh, this is a very, very, very diverse, smart country. My history is from Scotland. So of course,
00:04:50.000 I'm an immigrant, right? But the best part of this country is embracing everybody else's lifestyle.
00:04:57.600 And what does, uh, what would you say this protest means to you? What do you think it's all about?
00:05:02.480 It means to me that I have a right to decide what I want to do with my physical being. That's it.
00:05:10.160 And how about, how about yourself? Uh, I don't know. That's, that's truthful though. He doesn't
00:05:17.040 know, right? He doesn't know. I mean, he comes here, he feels it. He likes the big trucks.
00:05:21.440 No, I get it. Like I miss sports. I totally connect with it. I miss sports. I played sports
00:05:26.560 until my knees gave out, but you know, we all do what we have to do, right? And me and my mom,
00:05:33.440 just to come here about like three weeks ago, we started drawing signs and we have it over there.
00:05:39.040 Nice. Nice. What did the signs say? It says, um, I think it says stop the mandate and we have big
00:05:47.360 Tonka trucks drawn on it. Big Tonka trucks. I used to have Tonka trucks. That was my first toy.
00:05:53.200 Have you been watching, uh, how the media is covered? I'm, I'm absolutely disgusted because I'm not one of
00:06:00.720 them. I grew up in a union, of course, right? I'm a QP. I might not be able to say that, but I'm
00:06:07.360 saying it. But the thing is, is we fight for our rights as people, right? Our grandparents went to
00:06:13.920 war. They died. They burned, they did everything. And now we're like, what? Like, what are you doing
00:06:21.520 to us? This is like Canada. Everybody comes here to be free and now we can't be free.
00:06:26.720 Yeah. And how do you feel when there's people scurrying about with their masks on?
00:06:31.840 Well, you know, I'm getting a little bit rebellious in my old age and I kind of went
00:06:36.240 into Walmart the other day without my mask on and what a rush. Yeah. It was a pretty, uh,
00:06:42.960 empowering to just stop. I mean, I'm vaccinated. I'm vaccinated. So, and then I still have to wear
00:06:50.400 my mask and I'm still going to catch it and I'm still going to get it. So worry, worry, fear, fear.
00:06:55.760 No, I'm not afraid. I'm not afraid anymore. I'm, that's why I'm here. I've been hugging
00:07:00.720 everybody. My kids said to me, okay, mom, you got to stop hugging people because we keep losing you.
00:07:05.440 I'm like, I can't stop hugging people. You get lost in the sea of Canadian pride.
00:07:09.840 Love. You know, I'm, I'm a Woodstocker, right? 1958. Let's go.
00:07:14.720 There you go. There you go. Some people, a lot of people out here are saying that they're feeling
00:07:18.640 Canadian pride for the first time in a long time. Can, can you relate to that?
00:07:22.160 Um, no, I've always been proud to be Canadian. Okay. Yeah. And, but I'm, I'm finally glad that
00:07:30.720 they're standing up for themselves and they're being who they are. They're very happy people.
00:07:39.120 They're drawing the line and, and I'm really, really sad about all the twists because it's all
00:07:46.000 owned by government, CBC, city TV, all of them. Right. And they're all saying how bad everything
00:07:51.440 is. I had to come here so I could like get in the feeling myself. My God, I felt nothing but love.
00:07:58.960 Like I said, my kids say, quit hugging everybody, mom. It's like, I haven't hugged anybody in three
00:08:04.240 years except you guys. And what would you say to these people who say like, like,
00:08:10.000 aren't you afraid? Keep your mask on. Do what you feel is right for you. That's all. I'm not,
00:08:16.080 I'm not saying don't do what you don't want to do. Do what you want to do. Let me do what I want to do.
00:08:21.760 Sure. That's a, that's what freedom is, isn't it? Yeah. I'm free. You're free. You're free. You're free.
00:08:27.760 You want to keep your mask on? Keep your flipping mask on. I will not be intimidated by any way.
00:08:35.200 I love you still brother. I hope you're still safe. Yeah. Choice. Right. Choice. Yeah. The media is saying
00:08:41.520 all sorts of crazy stuff, whether it's like a Russian this or insurrectionist. Oh yeah, 0.91
00:08:46.560 for sure. Are you, is there any like fear just to be just, no, no, no. Cause we know what's going on.
00:08:54.000 But, but it's like, Oh, uh, Care Bear, Carolyn was down at the, at the convoy. Yeah, I know. And I said,
00:09:00.520 oh, cutie. Ooh. Fred Hahn would be proud of me. Won't you, Fred? But yeah, I mean,
00:09:07.080 it's freedom of choice, freedom of speech, freedom of freedom, freedom. Why did everybody come here?
00:09:13.800 Why is everybody here? Because they all agree from every other country around the world. And I think
00:09:19.000 we started something. We started a movement. Yeah. Um, it's a very simple message too, isn't it?
00:09:24.760 And the mandates please. A very simple mandate is we did what you said we should do and nothing has
00:09:32.520 changed and nothing has changed and nothing has changed. So let's just keep going and see what
00:09:38.120 happens. If we all dropped dead. Oh, well, one last question. Yes. If you were prime minister, 0.99
00:09:43.560 prime minister, Care Bear, prime minister, Care Bear. Yeah. I'd be a good one. Other than ending the mandates.
00:09:48.840 Yeah. What else would be, what would be at the top of your priority list? One item. Canada.
00:09:55.400 Number one, not anybody else, not anywhere else. Our first nations people have been shafted left,
00:10:03.880 right and center. I'm sometimes very, very embarrassed to say it was my forefathers that
00:10:12.360 probably treated them that way, but they're humans. We're humans and we should treat each other
00:10:20.120 as human beings. We all bleed red. We're all humans. You know, like it's just blood brother
00:10:27.160 and sister. Absolutely. Let's just live to live. One life you're given, the other one you make.
00:10:32.840 That's right. Let's make it be happy. And we're happy here in Canada. Carolyn is dropping truth
00:10:39.720 bombs on me, left, right. I hate it. Don't you? No, it's great. It's great. And I love the,
00:10:44.760 we call that Keswick dinner jacket. Here's the signs that we made. One final question. Because I want
00:10:51.640 to know, like, what is your opinion on Justin Trudeau? And like, tell me the whole, like from
00:10:57.080 2015 till now. Are you honest with you? I never minded the man at all. But when he didn't show up,
00:11:03.800 when all those bodies were found of those poor children in the reconciliation, in those homes,
00:11:10.600 and he went on vacation, I lost all respect for him. I have, I have, there's no turning back for me.
00:11:18.120 Kids are our future. Kids are our future. He has kids. He should think about that long and hard.
00:11:27.080 Thank you so much for your time. Hey, thanks for coming out, man.
00:11:31.240 Anything to say to the country of Canada? Don't listen to Justin Trudeau.
00:11:36.920 Thank you so much. I agree. I agree. Hi. Love you.
