Editor,
When I took a solemn oath to become a Canadian citizen it was one of the proudest and most emotional days in my life. I became a proud flag waving Canadian!
In February, the Canadian flag was hijacked by misguided individuals and their toxic leaders during an unlawful occupation of our Capital.
Now my country’s flag is branded as supporting individuals like Pat King, the social media influencer of the misnamed ‘Freedom Convoy’.
This is the man who was recorded as saying our Prime Minister is ‘going to catch a bullet one day’.
I am angry knowing good people have succumbed to the rhetoric of these flag waving extremists. These people see themselves as freedom fighters. They are not freedom fighters.
Despite what they want us to believe, future historians won’t speak of the freedom convoy or their self-serving demands in the same breath as freedom fighters like the people of Ukraine.
Ukrainians are fighting valiantly, at dire costs, against the brutal aggressor, Russia. They are the real Freedom Fighters.
