Juno News - Convoy organizer calls success in Ottawa just the start

00:00:00.000 What were your favorite moments of the three-way convoy?

00:00:05.000 There's so many moments. My absolute favorite was arriving on the 28th and seeing that line

00:00:12.900 of thousands of people from Quebec who had some of the most oppressive COVID restrictions who

00:00:19.700 couldn't leave their houses say, screw it, I'm going. They crossed the bridge on foot

00:00:25.460 into Ontario and they had both Canadian flags and fleur-de-lis and signs that said freedom

00:00:33.760 and liberté and they went to meet with truckers from out west from Saskatchewan, BC, Alberta, Manitoba

00:00:41.860 and everybody was hugging each other and getting along. It was amazing. And did you expect Trudeau

00:00:48.960 to implement the Emergency Measures Act or go as far as he did? No, I knew he was an extremist

00:00:55.180 and I knew he was going to keep doubling down. But I figured at some point, somebody with

00:01:01.040 a brain would have spoken to him and said, listen, all these other countries around the

00:01:06.120 world, they're dropping their restrictions. Maybe we should do the same, right? Maybe.

00:01:11.480 But do you feel that you moved the needle in terms of dropping the restrictions?

00:01:16.120 You know, like I keep putting online, a hashtag nothing to do with truckers. We keep seeing

00:01:20.960 these mandates across the country being dropped. I mean, first you notice they started testing

00:01:26.000 messaging. As always, they would sit on the fence. One day they're going to remove them.

00:01:31.460 The next day they're not so sure. They realized the vast majority of people wanted an end to

00:01:36.340 all of this. And we saw all these restrictions start to fold. And now we just got to make sure

00:01:43.140 that this continues and we push back to get more of our freedoms back.

00:01:46.760 And you had a personal interest in this because you are a trucker.

00:01:51.040 Yes, I am.

00:01:51.920 You have a truck and you went through COVID driving your truck. Is that correct?

00:01:56.400 Yeah. And the entire time I didn't have, I mean, I'm vaccinated, but there's no requirement to,

00:02:02.440 you know, papers, please. It was not, I didn't have to show my papers or a QR code. And then once

00:02:09.940 that happened, that's when I started to get most worried because I know what that's going to lead to.

00:02:16.760 You know,�ado MackOlipset psychologically and I don't know what officers have them eating.

00:02:21.340 That's what happens when I got more of our time in order to get off the entire tunnel,

00:02:24.040 you know, bar 13,900 contar contar contar statements,

00:02:26.540 you know a survivor, like of a paljon radio Pepsi, any other joint charging,

00:02:29.440 but you may get more of a orی loop acting .

00:02:33.180 Yeah. You're not living.
