Rally gathering at the American side of Niagara Falls to show support for the Canadian Truck Freedom Convoy.

Rally at the Rainbow Bridge unites Americans and Canadians

by Tami Raco On Saturday, January 29, convoys of thousands of Canadian truckers passed through Ontario, Canada, as they headed to Ottawa for a peaceful protest of the mandates affecting Canadian and American truckers who pass over the border for truck deliveries.

A mandate was put in place by both the Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau and President Joe Biden in midJanuary. The mandate states that all truckers passing over the US/Canada border must be fully vaccinated to cross, or they are required to quarantine for 14 days. Approximately 200,000 truckers in Canada cross the US border for their route. Although it is estimated that 75% of the truckers are vaccinated, the mandate has created a hardship on many, leading to the protest that took shape in the form of tens of thousands of truckers traveling west to the Parliament where Trudeau resides.

Eleven separate convoys came in from all parts of the country. The longest convoy seen on satellite was 100 miles long. Most were Canadian truckers, but some American truckers joined in. The truckers traveled through frigid temperatures on their journey. It was -45 degrees as they rolled through Regina, Canada, -11 as they approached Ontario, and Ottawa was a mild 10 degrees when they arrived. At stops along their route, hundreds of Canadians

and bordering Americans showed support and patriotism to the truckers in the bitter cold. Supportive Canadians provided meals to feed the truckers; children colored pictures and sent cookies.

As the convoy passed through Ontario, a rally was held at the Rainbow Bridge to show support for the truckers. Both Canadians and Americans united in their efforts to show solidarity to the “Freedom Convoy.” The Constitutional Coalition of NYS organized the American side rally. Nancie Orticelli, President of the Western NY chapter, organized the rally and scheduled speakers. She also coordinated efforts with Marcella Piccone, an affiliate with the People’s Party of Canada, for a united event on the Rainbow Bridge.

Prior to the Can-American Bridge Rally, Americans from western NY gathered in Niagara Falls, where guest speakers talked about Constitutional freedoms. Constitutional Attorney Jim Ostrowski, History Teacher Ang Bittinger, business owner Robbie Dinero and Brockport College student Sarah Prentice were some of the key speakers.

Prentice is a Political Science major at SUNY Brockport and is the Campus Coordinator for Turning Point USA, a national non-profit organization founded by Charlie Kirk.

The organization’s mission is to educate, train, and organize college and high school students to promote principles of freedom, free market, and limited government. continued on page 4 of wrap
