MY APPOLOGIES TO BUFFALO SPRINGFIELD FOR QUOTING HIS 1966 RESISTENCE SONG...
I AM OF COURSE REFERENCING THE CURRENT WIND-DOWN OF THE TRUCKERS' FREEDOM CONVOY..SOMETHING MOST DEFINITELY IS HAPPENING HERE IN CANADA AS WELL.
I WELL REMEMBER THE MID 60S WHEN SPRINGFIELD PENNED AND SANG HIS DURGE. IT WAS A MOST TRANSITIONAL TIME ...DRUGS, FREE SEX, OPT OUTTERS.
MY FEET AND HEAD WERE IN THE STAID 50S AND I FOUND THE RADICAL RAPID CHANGE MOST TROUBLESOME.
I HONESTLY BELIEVE THE SAME THING IS OCCURRING HERE TODAY IN CANADA.
AND I AND MANY OTHERS ARE SADDENED BY WHAT THE POLITICIANS AND POLICE HAVE DONE EVEN THOUGH THEY - ESPECIALLY THE COPS - HAD TO ACT. THE POLITICIANS ARE ANOTHER MATTER ENTIRELY ...OVER THE LAST HALF CENTURY THEY HAVE BROUGHT OUR ONCE GREAT COUNTRY DOWN.
The Fact that a ground roots protest rose up is simply incredible. I did not predict it and indeed am still in shock. It represents the first time such a ground-swell of ordinary folks have said 'enough is enough' in Modern History and I do not believe it will be the last time.
But first an apology ...I never thought that the Protest would become violent but I read where it did ...the RCMP said violent attackers attacked with Axes and Fire Sticks...the Private Security was physically attacked and " millions of dollars" of damage was done. Who'd have thought.
Oh Yeah ...this was not the Truckers but alt left Eco Terrorists attacking a British Columbia Gas Line.
Not a word though from the Lame Street Media.
I could not resist pointing the above out.
Back to my Thesis though - We Canadians are now in a New World ...it will not be comfortable but hopefully the days of Left-Wing Progressive Politicians telling us all what to do and how to do it ...are about to come to a refreshing end.
Saddened but Hopeful,
As I See It...
'K. D. Bell'
