The principal fundraiser was Tamara Lich, the secretary of the federal separatist Maverick Party in Alberta. These weren’t truckers organizing a GoFundMe that at the time of that writing hadn’t yet surpassed $1 million, on the way to $8.5 million just a week later. I raised alarms early in a blog ‘ The murky matter of protests and the donations that drive them,’ when I noticed who was behind the convoy. And by the time the convoy rolled through Ontario it had already fully morphed into something much bigger – and more dangerous – than what truckers were ever told. It wasn’t about your rights to continue crossing the border unvaccinated. By James Menzies Janu who participated in a cross-country convoy culminating in protest at Parliament Hill this weekend have been duped into believing the convoy was about them.
