Freedom Day...

The whole day I had a feeling of joy and hope that only grew as the day progressed. 

Let me start by saying that the Convoy To Ottawa isn't an anti vax protest. Many of the people involved are fully vaxxed.  It  is about being forced by a tyrannical government to follow a protocol that has proven to be ineffective and harmful to physical, mental and financial  well being. A government who belittles and is hateful to those who do not follow its narrative. A government who has an agenda to turn Canada into a Communist country. A puppet leader who dances to the tune of the rich and powerful who want to make the world over in their own image. A man who fled the city  when faced with a huge and peaceful protest. 

I have often said that Canadians will only take so much, but watch out when they push back. We are by and large a peaceful country, but we are not weak. The people who built this country faced great hardship and that resilience has stayed in the following generations. 

As I looked at all the live feed and group pages on social media the support , the hope and the happiness of the people was overwhelming. Stuff that you won't see on mainstream media, (who are down playing the event and trying their hardest to find anything negative to report) such as people lining the highways and overpasses to cheer on the truckers in -27 to -40 weather, to local convoys in nearly every town, city and highway across the country, to notes of support from nearly every country in the world- yes, the whole world is watching this movement started by a handful of Canadian truckers- to convoys being organized in many other countries now. 

Never underestimate the common people when they are faced with tyranny and injustice. This is nothing new; this is how mankind is hard wired. 

Will we get what we are asking for? Perhaps. What we want is an end to mandates. All of them. End the pandemic of fear and manipulation. End treating people like criminals if they aren't wearing a mask when science has proven them to be ineffective. Stay home if you feel uncomfortable in public but don't force healthy people to curtail their activities and demonize them if they don't. End forcing people to choose between an inoculation that has been shown to be ineffective in preventing the spread of the virus, and keeping their jobs. End not allowing doctors and nurses to treat patients with effective medicine and stripping them of their jobs if they dare to give those life saving treatments to their patients. End forcing parents to jab their children who are not at risk of dying or even getting very ill with this virus. End the cover ups of the dangers of this so called vaccine. I could go on about the many injustices. But lets focus instead on the hope that standing up for our human rights by making a stand, will produce at least some of the desired results. 

Some European countries have already lifted their mandates, and I heard this morning that Saskatchewan has ended their vax passport mandate. It's a start. 

The theme I see in all this is unity and love. The truckers started the ball rolling, but it's up to each one of us to carry on and continue to call for accountability from the government and Big Pharma. 

However, I am suspicious of the end game. If mandates are lifted, be prepared for a temporary respite while the elite find another way to increase their power and keep us from living happy normal lives. I suspect the number of deaths and permanent injuries from the jabs (which numbers currently have been hidden or not reported to the general public) will then be put out  as a way to say that the virus death toll dramatically increases after the mandates are lifted.

No, I am not a conspiracy theorist; just someone who can look objectively at what is going on not just in my country but around the world- someone who refuses to watch the lies and propaganda  of mainstream media who are in the pockets of the very people who are perpetrating this evil. 

God bless Canada; the true north strong and free.

Let freedom ring; today is a day of reckoning. 

Keep it civil; no hate or violence. 

We shall overcome.

Trimmed

 The farrier came out yesterday to trim all 3 horses. I am happy to report that Sophie was really good for him (as were Beamer and Jayne). I wasn't sure what to expect with her, but she was true to form and was a good girl. 

He also checked out the lump on her right front leg and figures it is scar tissue, as it is moveable and not attached to the bone; likely from an injury that had proud flesh that wasn't treated. 

I have been looking at her and wondering if she is indeed in foal. Although she came into a full 8 day heat when I first got her, I have had a mare that did that when she was in foal, and 5 months later she had her foal. So this may have just been a hormonal response to Mr. Handsome's welcoming hollers 😁

She can't be getting fat on this hay, it's hay from the spring of 2020; I still have a bale of it left before we start on the 2021 hay I bought last summer. It's 1st cut mixed grass and quite stemmy as you can see. But that may just be her typical physique, we shall see as spring comes if she gets any bigger. I hope she isn't in foal, as I want to ride her as much as possible this year. Still waiting for that ice to go away!

As we approach February it will be hard to avoid the February blahs. I'm sure anticipating spring with all it's promise. 

As a side note and unrelated to this blog, I have to say am very proud of our Canadian truckers  and the support they are getting worldwide to call our government into account for their destructive (financially, emotionally, physically and socially) measures. If you don't know what I am talking about, visit the Facebook page Convoy To Ottawa 2022- before Facebook takes it down.

Two minutes of silence...
