00:00:48.600Oh, the horns. The horns. Coming down the main street on the first weekend and it
00:00:54.180was just pandemonium. We were offered a ride from some random person that was
00:00:58.200saw us on the side of the road and drove us in downtown.
00:01:01.680The love. The love that everybody had. The unity. The camaraderie. And it was fun. It was like a rave party.
00:01:10.320It took me back to my late 20s, you know.
00:01:12.960It was the generosity. It was the kindness of people. It was the free food. It was like the socks and the mittens. And
00:01:21.600I think one of the highlights was the joining of Alberta and Quebec, you know, that had been so polarized for decades, for generations. And Quebecers and Albertans were coming together. I'm sure there's been like some marriages since then, you know. So that was amazing.
00:01:38.080It's connecting with strangers with open hearts and open love almost at every step of the way, every time I was here.
00:01:46.720Realizing I wasn't alone because I really thought I was. Yeah. A hundred percent that and just all the love. Like I'd never had so much faith in humanity in my life.
00:01:59.440It is undeniable that the freedom convoy changed the Canadian landscape. Some people say that it changed Canada for the better. And I wanted to see if the people agreed with that.
00:02:12.080A hundred percent. I think that they pulled us apart for so long that us coming back together, we became stronger than ever as a people. And I think that a lot of us realized what it means to be Canadian and became proud of that again.
00:02:24.600Yes, in a way, because it opened up a lot of people's eyes to what's going on. And I don't think even with the negative spin that the media did put on it, I don't think that people looked at it that way.
00:02:36.240I hope it does. I have yet to be convinced. I'm hoping it will. And I'm still praying for that.
00:02:42.580Oh, absolutely. It has changed it for the better. I think we've opened a lot of eyes of a lot of other Canadians. We still have to get rid of the current government.
00:02:51.940But, you know, I think we're moving in small steps. And as we go forward in the future, I think we're going to be seeing something else come in that's a lot better than what we have.
00:03:01.980I would say the convoy woke up a lot of Canadians that were kind of in the middle, dazed and confused.
00:03:09.940And it made Canadians aware that we have a great country and still lots of people that support the greatness of our country.
00:03:19.580And I think it even went as far as to wake up other people around the world.
