The Freedom Convoy Originated in the West

Here Chris Barber "Big Red" official and I discuss the possibility of Western Separation

The Freedom Convoy of 2022 was a polarizing, and global phenomenon. It was arguably one of the world's largest protests ever seen, involving thousands of truckers from coast to coast as it converged on its target, Capital Hill in Ottawa.

Chris Barber, and Tamara Lich have been charged with Mischief, in what is now the longest case in Canadian history for such crimes. Chris is 2 weeks into his 12-month House Arrest sentencing, and will be followed by 6 months of curfew, and 100 hours community service.

But it doesn't stop there. NOW, they are coming for "Big Red" his truck.

How does this make any sense?

We re-live how the Convoy got started, how it built momentum as it travelled across Canada, the incidents at Ground Zero and so much more. Enjoy GND #42 with Chris Barber "Big Red" official

Chris Barber and Tamara Lich helped organize the now infamous Freedom Convoy of 2022 that took place in Ottawa, Ontario Canada. I say "helped" because it was...

🚨John Pantazopoulos Crushes Ward 6🚨

Wanted to extend a big congratulations to John Pantazopoulos for Ward 6
John finished with a resounding victory over the competition more than doubling the votes of his nearest opponent.

I am excited to see what John can do to help push for some much needed change down at Calgary City Hall, AND most specifically in my community in Ward 6!!

Please watch to the end, some exchanges from our last Great Northern Discussion touching on some of his experiences in the Energy Sector and what drove him to run for council

Embedded within Mark Carney’s “emergency” messaging from last night was the phrase hinting to Canadians that “it will take some sacrifices” as he outlined plan for his budget.

Haven’t we suffered enough from your over-spending, and ZERO action to attract investment to unleash Canadian energy??? Repealing C-69 (no pipelines bill) and C48 (the Tanker ban) would’ve been a swift resolution.

Canada needs to deliver its LNG to the rest of the World to help them reduce their own emissions by getting off coal-fired plants and switching to LNG. 6 months in, this guy has done squat for the economy, which is in the brink of collapse.

We do it best here folks! 1.7% of Global Emissions comparative to China which accounts for 30%. Let’s stop taxing our citizens, get access to global markets and assist other countries to become as good as we already are.

Check out the Youtube version of our Great Northern Discussion #17 with Kevin Humeny, CFA Managing Director and CFO at Parcel B Ltd. We provide some great insight with visuals for added perspective. Or check All Pods for the show!

Calgary folks, by my early counts I think we have our 6-pack for some serious change down at City Hall.

.tyers

We need 8 to control the votes. I am expecting big things from as well.

Who ya got for like-minded as an 8th?

Two cents here but I like what I’m seeing so far for Ward Councillors to move the needle in the RIGHT direction…..

What a wild night!

Can’t say enough about this woman she poured her heart and soul into this and she damn near pulled it off.

I stand behind her option to call for a recount, while it’s unlikely to find that many miscounts, it’s the least she can do as she ponders her next move. Fatigue could play into potentially, as they were counting into the wee hours of the morning.

delivered a heartfelt speech around midnight or so, and though exhausted she was still upbeat, but emphasized the team over, and over, and over. This of course includes the volunteers.

Great scrap Sonya and very impressive.
