MODERATORS
They also had a pretty big turnout for that march against trans thing. Twice.
Yeah, the turnout was disgusting.
The push back is only going to get worse
This is the best summary I could come up with:
Text messages retrieved from the cellphone of Freedom Convoy leader Chris Barber show contact with a former Saskatchewan premier and a current provincial politician leading up to and during the 2022 protests in Ottawa.
On Jan. 28, as Barber was approaching Ottawa, Wall said he thought the convoy was "creating some elbow room for provinces to begin to move away from mandates."
Wall suggests Barber consider donating the money they had raised along with a news release headline that would tie the gift to the provincial easing of restrictions.
On Feb. 2, weeks before police dismantled the protests, Wall asked Barber if he thinks it is time to "claim victory and end the occupation."
Nerlien issued an emailed statement to CBC saying Barber is part of his extended family and texts were not related to his work as an MLA.
Before the convoy, he tells Barber the "national media are not your friends" and accused some journalists of "spewing" comparisons to the Jan. 6, 2021 riot on Capitol Hill "just to stir the pot."
