Montreal vlogger extraordinaire, Viva Frei, visited Ottawa today and did a live stream just shy of 4 hours. You can view the entire thing here. There were so many memorable moments: He climbed atop a truck and captured a powerful speech. A Muslim Canadian shares his thoughts. Ontario MPP Randy Hillier chimes in. A retired Canadian soldier shares his heartfelt perspective. A computer technician shows that he has more wisdom and knowledge than 99% of MPs. Viva’s predictions of Trudeau’s exit plan. A Turkemnistan man’s unique insight into what the Canadian authorities are now doing. And a beautiful Canadian family with 5 children.
To his credit, he calmly and politely tried to engage with the counterprotesters. Here are their thoughts.
“The Counterprotesters – You appreciate the ideology that they believe in the government. They trust the government and they think the government should have carte blanche to dictate what you can and cannot do and what you must or must not do with your own body. And to have that view, in my humble opinion, requires having a very myopic view of history. It involves not understanding history. It involves being naively optimistic; when you have a propensity to allow people to lead you and not taking your own initiative. It’s a bizarre thing. It’s not a philosophy that I share, especially with my learning curve over the last two years.” – – David Freiheit (aka Viva Frei)
The “counter protesters” are truly crazy listening to their interviews.
To his credit? Why engage with the pathetic “counter-protestors?”
They are seeing their privileges stripped from them before their eyes, and screaming and crying like toddlers. The truckers ignored them, because that’s how sensible adults respond to tantrums.
No. The days when they got something for nothing are over. God willing they’ll end their days in a farming community at least 100 kilometers from Ottawa, doing the back-breaking farm work they claim white people won’t do.
No more designer bubble tea. They’ll eat what their employers think they deserve to eat.
No more Instragrammable condos in Centretown paid for by the Bank of Mom and Dad. They’ll sleep with the pigs.
The farmers’ children will go to the city in their place, to become engineers, doctors, lawyers and statesmen. They will be pleased to live in a safe, clean, affordable, prosperous city purged of its riffraff.
Ottawa is, for all its faults, a great city built by working men and women. They are taking their city back. It’s the parasites who won’t be staying much longer.
To live in our fair city is a privilege. It must be earned. Our “elites” have earned nothing, unless you count the contempt of all decent people.
My Dear Awful, I must disagree.
A lot of these progressive types grow up and live in a complete bubble, never to hear an opposing idea. Never to hear anything about conservatives, except that conservatives are monsters and responsible for all evil in the world. And I am not exaggerating. I know a womyn who wouldn’t even let her children say “gun”. (They call it the “G-word”). Being exposed to alternate ideas is what pops that bubble. It doesnt work on everybody, and it can take a long time, but it will happen.
And nobody is eating blue pills. Its just a matter of time. While I share you sentiment when it comes to the sociopaths, there are many many progressives who are merely indoctrinated.
I understand your point of view but I disagree. Here’s why: Justin Trudeau, Chrystia Freeland, and most every other politician in Canada is refusing to talk with the truckers … at least publicly. This is a terrible, terrible thing for them to do. Engaging in a dialogue with those we disagree with is necessary to move forward. The DIFFERENCE now is that we must refuse to back down or apologize for our convictions.
Ultimately there are gaping holes of logical continuity in the “official” narrative, which is all these counterprotestors know how to parrot. You are correct that their privileges have been stripped from them before their eyes. Will these privileges be restored at the point of a gun … against us? I certainly hope not. We are better than Trudeau and Freeland and must try to prove it every day.
But, like you, I will not engage in a conversation with any new person who is incapable of sticking to facts and logic and runs their entire mouth off based on emotion.
No. I am not interested in a dialogue with Trudeau and Freeland.
They need to cease resistance, understanding that they will get a fair trial by a jury of their peers, and if convicted, they will face whatever consequences the jury deems appropriate. It took the Romanians a matter of hours.
We, the Canadian people, need to have a dialogue on what replaces the Líbranos. Trudeau and Freeland have nothing to contribute to that dialogue. They need to be put out of the way.

Not one Canadian flag among the counter protesters. Telling….
Agreed. I really felt the counter protestors dialed down the Karen today.
Instead of frothing at the mouth, they were a glum and pouty bunch.
Their signs were pure sh*t. As they say, the left cannot meme.
To be fair they were probably freezing their butts off, not a hardy bunch.
Doesn’t make their mushy brains work any better.
Brain Freeze.
Heh!
It was fricking cold here today.
Yea, well like Woodstock in years to come EVERYBODY WAS THERE MAN!
I loved how Viva couldn’t take 20 steps without being recognized\greeted. “Hey Viva!” And many were native Ottawa people.
I had no idea there were so many like minded in this city. Ottawa can often feel like the Karen capital of the world.
There was so much love and affection for Viva every time he ventured out on one of his walks around Ottawa. Amongst the counterprotesters … not a whole lot of love.
they believe in the government. They trust the government and they think the government should have carte blanche to dictate what you can and cannot do and what you must or must not do
Viva implies his perspectives have broadened in the past two years and does not think the sentiments of the protesters are informed with much historical understanding or wisdom.
From my perspective, growing up in the dying days of the Cold War, I recollect that the idea that the government could trample upon personal freedoms and its subjects would embrace their subjugation was the very same dystopic vision that we as a western society were supposed to be fighting. Even the Vietnam protestors in the US that Trudeau welcomed into the country as citizens believed in that fight.
Where these new, totalitarian ideas have come from I don’t know. I’m feeling as though we didn’t win the Cold War. How could this have happened?
Further to what you’re saying, I hope you saw this segment: Turkemnistan man’s unique insight into what the Canadian authorities are now doing: https://youtu.be/zTATJjWSwP8?t=13479
Dear Readers,
Patrick Henry’s famed March 23, 1775, speech to the House of Burgesses (the legislative body of the Virginia colony), which contained the following phrase: “Is life so dear, or peace so sweet, as to be purchased at the price of chains and slavery? Forbid it, Almighty God! I know not what course others may take; but as for me, give me liberty or give me death!”
That’s why we’re all here! Freedom!
SDA your devotion to our cause is outstanding.
Thank you to all here who’ve given us your personal thoughts, as well.
And thank you Robert for this re-post and review of the day, I wanted to hear Chris Sky’s speech and you were kind to have split Viva’s day in segments for us. Thumbs up!
Nancy, in Reader Tips I will subtly share a photo of my computer setup here in Florida this morning. I soooooooo wish I could be in Ottawa right now with my cameras and my drone but I’m not allowed back in my homeland right now so have to live vicariously through every active participant in this #MapleLeafRevolution.
More photoblogging. Cool! Methinks you wouldn’t like the Ottawa weather. There’s a Nor’easter coming through next week, they’re expecting 25 to 40 cm of the white stuff. Oh, for the smell of ocean and soft breeze! Lucky you!
Though I was raised as a city boy in Vancouver, I spent the first two years of my career in Lynn Lake, MB. It was typically -30°C to -40°C for several months each winter. The coldest I ever personally experienced was -50°C standing on a frozen lake. I had on a balaclava, a thick toque, several layers top & bottom, 2 pairs of socks, and those tall white snow boots. That was a beautiful day!
In Jordan Peterson’s latest interview, which I’m running just after Reader Tips, he said, “The only group left which still supports vaccine mandates outright is Women Over 55”. This explains A LOT.
lol, ok not a fan of Jordie’s, (nothing ideological it’s just personal), but this is a great line. I’ll give him kudos for that.
We were in DT Victoria today at the parliament buildings for the drive by demonstrations. There was about 2,000 people there, give or take, and it was LOUD.
Not so many trucks as last weekend, but the enthusiasm and convivial atmosphere made up for it. There is definitely an awakening of the Normies, those that NEVER protest and mind their own business everyday of their lives. Be quiet no more!
Kitty corner to the wild enthusiasm and flag waving, were the pro-vaxx crowd of about a dozen, surrounded by cops. They looked gobsmacked by our loud and proud crowd.
They suffer from complete cognitive dissonance, as their messages are bereft of reality, still bitterly clinging to their slogans.
This eclipses the massive protests over the Layton/Dion “minority coalition” with the separatists to remove a government ten seats short of a majority. They also had to back down after Harper prorogued Parliament to short circuit the sorry seditious soap opera.
How will Canadians react to truckers being attacked by police? Why is this different from the Occupy Ottawa one month squat?
Or the PLO supported riots where 99 people were arrested? Or burning churches, condemned by Natives, “understood” by Trudeau?
The only difference is the political persuasion of the protesters and the fascists of statism and media support of fellow totalitarians.
Will we see the hypocrisy and danger to all of us? Or will we continue with the hostage taking and our sheeple Stockholm Syndrome?
Trudeau has done a tremendous job of uniting Canadians.
Seriously.
yup, memories of Canada in February 1984. All Canadians rejoiced from coast to coast as though a crippling weight had been lifted off them.

“They trust the government ”
Yeah about that. Trust the government and pretty soon your preferred pronouns will be “was/were”.
“was/were” – that’s the most hilarious thing I’ve ready all day! Well done, sir!
It is time to stop doing business with any of the Trudeau media.
Don’t advertise with them, don’t fix their phones, don’t allow them in your restaurant, don’t fix their cars.
Don’t have drinks with them, don’t have anything to do with them.
Shun them like the garbage that they are.
They are trying to get Canadians to hate each other.
Was out on one of the Hwy 1 overpasses in Surrey with my son and hundreds of others this morning. I could see in the distance the overpasses to the East & West were packed and resplendent with flags. By about 11 A.M the Freedom Convoy stretched as far as the eye could see to the East, likely as far as Langley. That would mean it stretched around 50 Kilometers to downtown Vancouver by that point. Easily over a thousand vehicles honking with flag waving occupants. Taped three of the local 6 O’clock Gaslighting-casts none of them portrayed the magnitude of the turnout. If they would have shown a traffic chopper view it would have shocked a few folks out of their stupors. I’m going to let some of their advertisers know what poor value they are receiving for their dollar heh heh.
My kids commented how sickly the fascist projectionists appeared compared to the robust looking & upbeat convoy participants. It’s pretty much class warfare at this point. Normal law abiding working folks vs smug urban Marxerals and their basement dwelling brats.
Question for you. Take a look at this video: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=huJBdlIM4Hw&ab_channel=CityNews
Note the “CMQ” (Community Mask Quotient). Do that many people typically wear masks outside in Vancouver these days? In Surrey?
Was this truck convoy visible on BC traffic cameras? When BC convoy left from Kitimat picking up trucks along the way, seemed to be almost not traffic on various traffic cameras that I checked from BC_AB border W using option to see whole days traffic.
That’s seems to be a downtown affectation. The closer you get to institutions of higher learning ;-). They should call City TV News “Amateur Hour”. Appalling.
