Bringing You The Stories That Matter.
Stated plainly, Tamara Lich and Chris Barber don’t deserve jail time for their part in Canada’s Freedom Convoy – why you ask? They worked behind the scenes to bring the protest to an end.
While protesters were following Lich’s moniker of “hold the line,” Tamara Lich and lawyer Keith Wilson were in discussions with Doug Ford’s former Chief of staff and good friend Dean French to help make a deal or as Tamara called it, an “exit strategy” to leave Ottawa.
What goes through a person’s mind when they are involved at the highest levels of a political party and that party makes cowardly statements?
Perhaps one of the most spineless statements to ever be made by a political party during Covid was by the Maverick Party who said that they would not “be forced to become involved in the on-going emotional debate” over restrictions versus infringement of citizens rights or freedoms.
This is the same political party that the now infamous “Convoy Organizer” Tamara Lich was the VP of Communications for…
Opinion article by: Greg Staley Written on: 2024-01-23 Apparently, the Freedom Convoy was on the cusp of becoming a riot – at least that’s what Tamara Lich thought. The trucker convoy was promptly driven under the bus in her ironically titled book “Hold The Line.” In fact, Lich’s description of the trucker convoy is moreContinue reading “Opinion: How Tamara “Hold The Line” Lich drove Canadian truckers under the bus”
By: Gregory Staley Written On: 12-30-2023 Sometimes those that say they’re there to help are really the ones working towards your demise. In the case of the Freedom Convoy, the convoy’s self-proclaimed spokesperson Tom Marazzo wrote in his book “The Peoples Emergency Act” that the deal he helped broker with Ottawa city police (later becameContinue reading “Opinion: How the Freedom Convoy protesters were kettled and beat by police”
Before the freedom convoy even arrived in Ottawa (Jan.26th), former MP Russ Hiebert, who served under Prime Minister Stephen Harper, had sent an email to Tamara Lich that contained a public relations attachment outlining suggested talk points for the convoy. Why was a former MP reaching out to Tamara Lich anyways?
Not everyone who claims to be on your side is actually on your side. Although it may seem obvious, as we have pointed out before in our article titled “Was the Freedom Convoy Compromised,” there were many in Ottawa that seemed to have their own agenda.
Keith Wilson, the convoy lawyer who may be under an investigation by the Law Society of Alberta for his retweeting of a “blackface Hitler” post that compared Hitler to Trudeau has insinuated that BJ Dichter of the Convoy organizers stole roughly $800,000 worth of crypto in communications with Diverge Media.
It would be naive to think that a protest the size and magnitude of the Freedom Convoy wouldn’t have a list of people seeking to infiltrate its ranks for various reasons. The freedom Convoy not only captured the hearts of Canadians from coast to coast but also those from around the world.
The protest raised more money in mere weeks than Canada’s major established political parties could raise in the entire final quarter of 2020 (3 months). In a short span of just weeks, the Freedom Convoy had raised over $10 million dollars.
What do you do with a decentralized movement that’s fed up with all levels of government from all political stripes because those in power refuse to respect their rights and freedoms?
Perhaps, you join their ranks and steer the ship into your preferred direction?
The Freedom Convoy in Ottawa is calling for an end to all Covid mandates and restrictions in Canada and that has resonated with people not only in Canada but from all around the world. Trudeau has had to deal with a lot of noise (both figuratively and literally) caused by the convoy in Ottawa these past few weeks – that being from the incessant honking from the truckers camped near the Parliament building.
However, until recently he hadn’t had to deal with any noise from within his own party. Insert the member of Parliament from Louis-Hébert, Quebec.
