Former Canadian National Hockey League star Theo Fleury said enthusiasm for ending the vaccine mandates and lockdowns feels like an “Olympic year,” with scores of people joining the truckers’ protests.
“It’s probably the biggest event that’s happened in our country in 150 years, you know, we’ve never seen anything like this,” Fleury told the host of NTD’s Capitol Report, Steve Lance, in a Feb. 7 interview.
“I cried a lot of times just because of the amazing energy which this country has shown in the last, you know, probably two weeks, it’s been incredible,” Fleury continued.
Fleury said citizens are tired of lockdowns, vaccination mandates, and the digital passport requirements being implemented by the “corrupt” government.
“Well, this is the end goal, this is the end game … they want full control of our lives, what we put in our bodies, and the end goal is digital ID,” Fleury added. “They’re trying to implement in Canada what they’re doing in China.”
“We have a prime minister who is incredibly divisive, his rhetoric is beyond disgusting, and it needs to stop. … We love our country, and we want our government to get the hell out of our lives once and for all,” said Fleury.
In response to the trucker Freedom Convoy, Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau accused participants of violent, disrespectful, and racist conduct. On Feb. 7, during a speech in the House of Commons about the Freedom Convoy, he said that the demonstration had blocked democracy and the economy.
Fleury said the truth is that the Canadians who are protesting love their country and want the government to have less power over their lives. “The truth is coming out, you know, and a huge light is shining on the truth and everybody’s talking about the truth.”
