LETTER: ‘Patriot’ supporting truckers’ stance against ‘oppression and tyranny’ – Timmins Press

Article content

I am a patriot, a Canadian patriot. I am now like the massively growing trend of patriots rising up around the world to defend our freedoms.

Today, I proudly stood shoulder to shoulder with other Timmins Canadian patriots waving and jubilantly cheering on the truckers driving by with their Canadian flags draped on their trucks and automobiles. I felt like all these people were my friends; their faces showed their love and admiration for the cause.

We were all there to fight the oppression and tyranny that we have been put through these past two years. Our fight is not won by violence or disrespect, but with love, perseverance, compassion, courage, and unity.

During the course of exuberant, painful, arm numbing waving, I met an Italian Canadian who thoughtfully commented to me: Isnt it interesting that the humble trucker is the one who has risen up to save our country not the PhD scientist, not the glorified doctor, not the highly educated professor or teacher, no, it is the humble trucker with honour and love in his heart.

Jesus rode in on a humble little burrow,not a glowing chariot with bells and whistles. Our beloved truckers are riding into Ottawa in their big, cumbersome chariots of patriotic courage. I cannot express how humbled and appreciative I am by these wonderful selfless men and women who are standing up to the evil entities in our corrupt government, judicial, medical, education and religious systems. I salute you and thank you from the bottom of my heart.

This week, I am driving down to Ottawa in my SUV. I am a senior and have not made a long trip in years, but I want to make my own little footprint into the archives of history no matter how silly or ineffective it seems.

I am bringing some home-cooked hot food to at least a hundred truckers or patriots who have travelled from so far and wide across Canada to be in Ottawa. For the last six months, I saved up what little I had, and stocked up on food like we were warned to do. I no longer want to save this food for me. I am alarmed that GoFundMe is not releasing all the funds to the truckers at this time. Apparently, the truckers will get this money later. A lot of these truckers need money now, not later.

Even though I gave a small monetary donation to the GoFundMe campaign, I am worried that our trucker patriots will not be helped enough when they need it the most. Its like watering a house after it has burned down. I dont know anyone in Ottawa, and I doubt Id find a hotel room somewhere (Im hoping that all the truckers who cant stay in their trucks, do have a hotel room), so Ill be driving back the same day after I distribute the food I want to contribute.

So, Im just trying to tell you, the readers, that no matter how small you think your contribution is to fight this oppressive war weve been in, do something good for your fellow man in this cause. Every little drop of water eventually fills a bucket. To me, its going to be a long and hard trip, but I refuse to be the one who stood by and did nothing, no matter how stupid or useless my effort may appear to be. I am a patriot.

Irena Aleknevicius,

Timmins
