Here's 3 Canadian Issues From 2022 That Will Still Matter Alot in 2023

Again, not an exhaustive list. There's a lot going on.

I wrote a similar article a few days back about our province and decided to do one for our country as well.

We need to remember that Saskatchewan is still part of Canada and what happens in this country impacts our legacies and our children’s futures just like it does those of residents living in Ontario or Quebec. Despite the Saskatchewan Premier’s best, but ultimately failed and pathetic efforts to divide and steer us away from our heritage, we’re still here.

These are issues I think will continue to matter to all Canadians, no matter which part of the country we reside in, for some time yet.

Freedom Convoy.

Trucker Protests.

Ottawa Occupation.

For the sake of this article I’m going to use “Trucker Protests”.

When I refer to those Trucker Protests, I’m talking about the dissent-motivated event that:

• kicked off in Ottawa on or around the last week of January 2022,

• became a ‘holy shit’ problem on January 30, 2022,

• upon which everybody in charge froze and did nothing for two weeks

• finally rewarding their own courageous ineptitude by turning the Emergency Act on the Canadians who elected them to do the job they walked away from when it mattered the most.

Over the past eleven months Canadians have used a bunch of different tags but we’re all talking about the same thing: the February 2022 events in Ottawa where semi-trailer trucks blocked roads leading to Parliament Hill and used noise, including the ceaseless blaring of the horns on their rigs, to protest… a lot.

Problem is we aren’t talking about what really happened. The hot tubs and using the Tomb of the Unknown Soldier as a toilet come to mind immediately and rightly so, because that was an egregious disgrace. Those types of displays are likely why we’re still talking about how the Trucker Protests made us feel, or what clips we heard or saw on social media.

The Trucker Protest in Ottawa was about far more than that, however, regardless of how much that conflicts with your worldview right now.
