Fake News Hurts Canadian Truckers
and Kills Trust in News

We also know—and ignore—that when there is any sort of protest, there will inevitably be a group of dangerous people that will destroy private property, monuments, shops, and anything in their path because there is a higher chance not to get caught. There is also the known fact that many criminals, that attach themselves to any protest, are directed by higher powers that use this shameful strategy to shift the attention of the public eye and manipulate their opinion.

This is not conspiracy theory. This is happening right under our eyes. Mainstream media accusing truckers to seal food from the homeless, destroying monuments, and bringing violence in the streets. Unfortunately for mainstream media, there are thousands of videos from the participants of this protest that documented a peaceful event, with stores gifting food, gloves, and more to the truckers out in the cold.

The harshness and disrespect that many truckers have to endure when crossing the border and during these two years, is nothing less than disheartening. While the Freedom Convoy has been nothing less than a peaceful protest that should have been met with the same respect from Trudeau and other politicians, it received nothing less than disrespect and hatred.

If compared to the Black Lives Matter protests—where there was destruction, vandalism, riots, and looting—the Freedom Convoy has been an exemplary demonstration of peaceful protest. In this shocking example of poor journalism from CTV News, the video shows nothing more than one kid standing on the tomb of the monument of the Unknown Soldier, and some flags placed on the statue of Terry Fox. This cannot be compared with the destruction caused by other protests whether in Canada or US.

This preposterous article by CTV News is one of the many that are distorting the facts to shift the people’s opinion on what is truly going on, and CTV News is not the only news agency to be so obnoxiously untruthful.

Trudeau had a great opportunity to show what great country Canada is, and he irreparably squandered it. There is no doubt that this pandemic has put the health care system on the fringe of collapse; health workers are heroes that we have no way to truly thank for their ongoing and restless sacrifice.

For this reason we are aware of the controversy about vaccines and the right to decide what happens to our bodies—we don’t believe there is an easy solution—but shying away from the conversation is definitely not the way to handle this matter.

The lack of leadership, is a worrying factor that exacerbates the anger and resentment toward the government, which has been on thin ice for over two years.
