Thanks for your supportive review.
Comment from Wayne Fowler
Well written.
I believe that reviewers should, ordinarily limit criticisms to writing rules: grammar, spelling, punctuation, word usage, flow, consistency, and etcetera. When a writer presents commentary/philosophy under the heading of non-fiction, offering opinion as fact, the line blurs - in my opinion. I would like writers on non-fiction to offer both sides of a debate.
In the U.S., we are nearing one million Covid deaths. What if the government had NOT 'over-stepped, or over-reached'? Ten million? twenty? What will people do when there is a nuclear event, behave even more recklessly? Does gov't not have a duty to attempt to protect people?
Best wishes.

Comment from royowen
I think when someone want to make something unpopular, they will naturally call something racist it's the quickest way to get non thing people against something. I believe Denmark has gone totally free, because they noticed that the hospitals are not overwhelmed, which is the reason for lockdown, death will soon make people shy away from anything like this, but I agree in principle well done Lara, you did the right thing, checked it our, didn't believe the gunk, well done, blessings Roy

So throw the tea bags overboard. Put in place another face. Perhaps, someone there protesting with an IQ higher than 108. The colonist did and history said it was the right move.

Comment from Dolly'sPoems
I am not sure what the fight is about here Laura? But at least you went to see for yourself and it sounds like there is a lot of support for the cause, whatever the cause is? An interesting right and perhaps an explanation of what is all about would help outsiders? Love Dolly x

The truckers and supporters want all the mandates gone including vaccine passports and we want to have no segregation for unvaxxed. So Freedom for all Canadians. This is what I spoke of in my story, thanks for reviewing

Oh I see Laura, I think these restrictions exist all over the world just now x x x
Comment from Earl Corp
Good for you exercising your freedoms. Unfortunately here in America when people choose to exercise their right to protest they also feel the need to loot or burn. The liberal media here is trying to paint the protesters as racists breaking the law. Very nice job.

Thanks, Earl, the truckers and supporters plan to stay until all mandates are over especially the vaxx passport.
Comment from LJbutterfly
Thank you for this eye-opening personal account of the protests of Canadian truckers. Here in the U.S. I've watched the news media's reports and commentary. I appreciate reading the opinion of one who is there. Thank you for sharing.

Comment from Judy Lawless
I've been enjoying being on FanStory because it was my escape from all of this very disturbing rhetoric that has been taking over our country. I'm now sorry I looked at this. I too am a Canadian, descended from many generations, not that that makes me any more Canadian than any others. I have plenty of freedoms. If I don't like what the government is doing, I can vote to change that. But I don't have the right to force my beliefs on others, to intimidate them, to disrupt their lives and their businesses, to claim that they are with me when they aren't. It would seem the that's what the majority of the truckers on Parliament Hill are trying to do. They have already admitted that it doesn't really matter if the COVID mandates are lifted or not. They want to overthrow our government and they have financial support from outside our country. That makes the majority of us very anxious.

Thanks for reviewing. The government has shut us down in more ways than one, for 2 years. Many of the people in Ottawa support the freedom convoy and supporters, when all the mandates, vaxx passports are gone they will go home. You are free to have as many vaccines as you want and wear the mask whenever but we want the freedom to make our own choices.

I like your style of writing. For, this was very informative. And as a wise man once said..."Be careful of what type of media you listen to. Whether it be the News...Social Media...or just Someone whispering in your ear. For, it could have you hating the oppressed. And loving those, who are doing the oppressing,
