The line of trucks and cars grew as they passed through each city and province.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Patriotic Canadians gathered on highway overpasses, waving flags and raising homemade signs.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>A year ago today they began to arrive in Ottawa.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The corrupt hacks and career politicians that walk the halls of Parliament were reminded that these buildings, this country, belongs to us.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>They were reminded that Canadians are not just serfs paying taxes to support their insane globalist projects and inflated MP salaries.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>We are a proud people not to be treated like slaves or cogs in some broken machine.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Trudeau smeared the protestors as racists and misogynists. \u201cA small fringe minority with unacceptable views\u201d.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>The fake news media painted it as an \u201coccupation.\u201d They claimed the citizens of downtown Ottawa were being \u201cterrorized\u201d and lied about protestors committing arson and other crimes.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>But I was there in person. I experienced it first hand.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>And I can tell you, it was the most beautiful, peaceful, and patriotic event I have ever seen.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>After two years of misery and discrimination, of being separated from friends and family, there was a special sense of love and togetherness in the streets of Ottawa.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>People were proud to be Canadian again.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>But just as pride and patriotism was resurging in Canada, Justin Trudeau stomped it out, like a campfire at the end of the night.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>He gave himself unprecedented powers, meant to <em>protect<\/em> Canadians at times of war.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>He did things that should never be done to peaceful Canadian citizens.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>He weaponized the financial system, shutting down fundraisers and freezing people\u2019s bank accounts without due process.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Storm troopers took to the streets, shooting journalists with tear gas and trampling people with horses.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Pride in our country evaporated. We were reminded the tyrants are still in control.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Even though the Freedom Convoy was violently crushed, it was still a brilliant success.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Public opinion had turned. Provincial governments started to quietly drop mandates and restrictions.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>We must not forget about what the tyrannical Liberals did to us. What the NDP and Bloc Qu\u00e9b\u00e9cois enabled. What the Conservatives failed to oppose.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>We must recapture the fervor and passion of the Freedom Convoy and start fighting now to make change in the next election.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>We must replicate what the Freedom Convoy accomplished. After filling the streets of Ottawa with the People, we must fill the House of Commons with People\u2019s Party MPs.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>I\u2019ll need your help to do it.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><a rel=\"noreferrer noopener\" href=\"https:\/\/www.peoplespartyofcanada.ca\/donate?e=64dce03d4f82b92f2b899b38dd3b462d&amp;utm_source=maximebernier&amp;utm_medium=email&amp;utm_campaign=ppc270123_en&amp;n=1\" target=\"_blank\"><strong>Help me continue the fight started by our brave Canadian truckers with a $5 donation today!<\/strong><\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Cheers,<br>-Max<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Maxime Bernier Hails the Anniversary of the Truckers Freedom Convoy One year ago today marked the beginning of a historic moment in Canadian history.
