Summary
On this episode of the podcast, I sit down with a long-time supporter of the pro-Trump "Trump" convoy to discuss his thoughts on the recent anti-Trump protests on Parliament Hill. We discuss the difference between supporting the truckers and supporting the hard-working, law-abiding, peace-loving truckers who are fighting for their freedom and livelihoods, and on whom we have depended for our very existence over the last two years.

What do you make of the extreme elements trying to latch on to the Trump convoy you supported?
00:00:04.580
Well, you know what I think is interesting is that when there's a left-wing protest on Parliament Hill,
00:00:12.400
we don't see the liberal media going through every single name of the people who attends
00:00:17.860
to try and find one person that they can disparage the whole group with.
00:00:22.640
You know, we don't see, CBC, for example, has been accused by its own employees of systemic racism,
00:00:32.620
and yet we don't see the media here generalize that everyone who works at the CBC is a racist.
00:00:39.640
Whenever you have 5,000 or 10,000 people who are part of any group,
00:00:45.280
you're bound to have a number who have or say unacceptable things,
00:00:53.420
and they should be individually responsible for the things they say and do.
00:00:59.220
But that doesn't mean we disparage the thousands of hard-working, law-abiding, and peaceful truckers
00:01:08.700
who, quite frankly, have kept all of you alive the last two years
00:01:12.760
by filling your grocery shelves with the food that you eat
00:01:16.780
and filling your homes with the products that you rely upon.
00:01:20.720
So I think that it is possible to hold individually responsible
00:01:29.100
while showing support for the hard-working, law-abiding, peace-loving truckers
00:01:38.700
who are fighting for their freedom and their livelihoods
00:01:42.060
and on whom we have depended for our very existence over the last two years.
