Ep 555 | Canada's Freedom Convoy, Media Myths & the End of COVID?
Today we're talking about the massive protests that have been going on in Canada over the past week. Thousands of truckers formed a "Freedom Convoy," with the giant line of trucks making its way all the way from the west coast of Canada to Ottawa, where enormous crowds gathered to protest against vaccine mandates. And of course, wherever there are people who just want to be free, the mainstream media is there to lie about it. The Left is adamant that this enormous (and diverse) group of Canadians is just a fringe group and that they're actually white supremacists and fascists. We'll easily debunk those myths, then we look at the effects that protests like the Freedom Convoy have had: Some countries are actually listening to their people and easing or removing their COVID restrictions.
