Thank You, Truckers!: Canada's Heroes & Those Who Helped Them

Thank You, Truckers!: Canada's Heroes & Those Who Helped Them

First came the truckers, then came those who helped. The support brigade; the boots on the ground. Canada’s Freedom Convoy protest was seismic. Police thought five trucker convoys were headed to Ottawa in January 2022. When thirteen showed up, their traffic plan collapsed. Meet twenty truckers who drove from British Columbia in the West, Nova Scotia in the East, and many places in between. Some were tear-gassed, pepper-sprayed, assaulted, and arrested. Some had their trucks vandalized and seized, their bank accounts frozen. Support for this scrupulously peaceful protest poured in from all directions. A tsunami of supplies, equipment, and volunteers: fuel bootleggers, Manitoba Hutterites, mechanics, farmers, cooks and chefs. The mega donor from New Brunswick. The Quebec bouncy castle mama. The former Snowbird pilot. Unforgettable people, events, testimonies. The Convoy changed lives. It changed Canada. Many answered the call. Millions were saved from despair.
