I have only been there to drive through a couple of times. I wish I had gone (I should have) but had 2 very young kids and life was very busy at the time (haha still usually is). I get it though it does show there are still people here who can think for themselves and that is reassuring. I just hope there is enough of us here.

One of the most humanity affirming things I’ve ever done. I’ve never experienced so much fellowship and what it feels like when good people get behind a truth and justice. To walk around and freely insert yourself into conversations with any group, and instantly find yourself surrounded by brothers and sisters of the same mind. It really was electric. A buddy and I plastered his black crew cab with bright orange signage and two tall masts with Canadian flags, and we did a 5 dayer. One night on the worst roads and freezing rain imaginable doing 30km/h on the Deerfoot to get down, three nights freezing our asses off in the truck, then a nicer cruise home. At least 10 locals back home who wanted to go but couldn’t gave us enough cash before we left that it covered all of our food and fuel for the trip. I was so fired up after that experience I grabbed another buddy 3-4 weeks later and we drove to Ottawa. It took us 48 hours in even worse driving conditions over a three day period to get there, and we arrived right on the grounds of parliament just as the UN goons and the RCMP started cracking heads. We ended up spending most of the time at a trucker camp west of Ottawa in Arnprior. So many good people. That whole trip, including a super sketchy hotel and shower stop in downtown Saskatoon, all of our fuel and food, and a couple hole in the wall motel nights in Arnprior were all crowdfunded by people that reached out to us back home. One lady from the hospital gave us $800 because she couldn’t go herself. Others, a couple hundred or more. It was really touching and we were so humbled.

It is energy like I saw in Coutts and Ottawa that makes me think we may have a shot at Alberta separation. I’m cautiously optimistic however, based on the demographic in our two largest cities. And the dirty pool tactics that the media and the government will no doubt be coordinating against us. Just in case it needs to be said (and it doesn’t in present company), CBC, Global, CTV and any radio station owned by Standard Radio are not your friends. They were our biggest enemies during the protests. Same goes for the algo-driven social media platforms.

And totally agree both the big citys are full of citiots and people taking advantage of government handouts (many of them new to the province and often the country) that won't want to lose their free or subsidized rides.

I also agree probably the biggest problem are the people who can't think for themselves and just regurgitate what their tv/radio/phone tells them wich is all funded and censored by the same government that's currently strangling Alberta and taking our rights at a rapid pace, while killing the economy, inflating the shit out of our currency, taxing the shit out of us and absolutely flooding our country with immigrants many if not most of whom do not seem to want to follow the social contracts that made this country a once great place to live
