I just got home after 3 hours on the side of the highway. The first 2.5 hours were spent waiting and socializing. I finally met some of the people I've met online fighting this nonsense.
The police had apparently been hampering the trucks, keeping them in smaller groups, so we weren't sure when they'd get to our stretch of highway. I only got to see one cluster of 80-100 trucks before my hands were too numb to hold my sign and keep it from getting taken by the wind. My feet are still frozen.
This thing is real. What I really found encouraging though, is that while we waited and waited, we still waved to uninvolved vehicles going by and at least 85% of them were honking and waving enthusiastically. The few drivers that were uninterested and unimpressed looked absolutely miserable.
I feel so upbeat to be on this team. We're the side with the optimists, the happy people and the enthusiasm for life.
My woodstove is roaring, I'm filled with hot coffee and my sauna is heating up. I still feel cold but I'm grateful that I got to see the convoy. They weren't scheduled to travel on our highway, but there was a change of plans this morning. They split off part of the group to go along our northern route, probably to make for less of a logistical challenge. We don't have a lot of divided, multi-lane highway on this leg of there journey.
Awesome! This is gonna destroy the media and their cucked fanboys.
I work outside everyday in this shit, get yourself a long warm shower, wrap up and have a couple drinks to get that blood flowing to your skin, if you're still not warming up do some light exercise. If you're not used to it it's easy to get mild hypothermia and then it can take a real long time to warm up (hard to start a fire in a frozen fireplace). I got myself the other day, woke up the next morning parts of my body were still like ice to touch.
Thanks. I'm much better now after spending some time in the sauna. I'm fine working outside and being active, but standing motionless for all that time was brutal. I'm lucky there was a long gap in the convoy or I'd have stayed beyond my body's limit.
I have a bedjet. It heats or cools between your sheets. It is not cheap but I have toasty toes in the winter. Husband liked it so much, I bought him one too.
Thank you for sharing. We were able to hear them go by on Sunday afternoon here in the BC interior. Lots of people cheering - we could hear them from inside the house. Too cold for me, so we didn’t go stand outside, but it was amazing to hear the support. If that’s a “fringe” of Canadians with “unacceptable beliefs”, It’s no wonder Trudeau has run away to hide. It won’t bode well for him in the end - he’s proving all the criticism of him to be absolutely correct.

Thank you for the cocoa gesture!
