Resistance Theory: The Freedom Convoy’s Place in our Divided History
If there is a politico-historical thread running from Louis Riel and the buffalo-hunting Métis rebels in Confederation-era Manitoba, via Ottawa’s creation of three second-class Prairie provinces, followed by decades of friction over resource ownership and taxation, all the way to the convoys of diesel-powered trucks that rumbled into Ottawa to protest federal vaccine mandates in the winter of 2022, few have taken note.

Entire industries have recalibrated to accommodate a physiology that is neither healthy nor sustainable.
